3. Setup
3.1 Battery Charging
Ensure the drone battery is fully charged before first use. Connect the USB charging cable to the drone battery and a suitable USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes 3-4 hours.
3.2 Propeller Installation
Attach the propellers according to the markings on the drone arms and propellers. Ensure they are securely fastened. Use the provided screwdriver if necessary.
3.3 Remote Control Setup
Install 3 AA batteries (not included) into the remote control. Ensure correct polarity. The remote control will power on once batteries are inserted.
3.4 App Installation
Download the Holyton flight control app from your device's app store. This app is required for viewing the camera feed and accessing advanced flight features.
3.5 GPS Searching and Calibration
For optimal performance, especially for features like Auto Return and Waypoint Fly, GPS signal acquisition is crucial.
- Place the drone on a flat, dry, unobstructed, and well-lit surface outdoors.
- Power on the drone, then the remote control.
- Wait for the drone indicator lights to turn solid green. The remote control will emit a long beep, indicating that the GPS signal search is complete. This process may take approximately one minute.
The default flight mode is GPS Mode. It is highly recommended to operate outdoor flights in GPS mode for maximum safety and stability. If the GPS signal is weak or lost during flight, the drone may switch to Optical Flow Mode. In such cases, press the Return to Home button to exit GPS Mode. The maximum flying altitude in Optical Flow Mode does not exceed 20 feet. If GPS signal becomes available (7 or more satellites) while in Optical Flow Mode, the drone will automatically switch back to GPS mode for higher altitude flight.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Flight Controls
- Take-off/Landing: Use the one-key take-off/landing button on the remote control or app.
- Altitude Hold: The drone automatically maintains a stable altitude, making it easier to control.
- Headless Mode: In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, eliminating the need to adjust its position before flight.
4.2 Advanced Flight Features (GPS Dependent)
These features require a strong GPS signal for accurate operation.

- Auto Return: The drone will automatically return to its take-off point if the battery is low, the signal is lost, or the return key is pressed.
- Follow Me Mode: The drone will automatically follow the remote control or connected smart device, capturing footage as you move.
- Circle Fly: The drone will orbit around a designated point of interest, maintaining a set radius and altitude.
- Waypoint Fly: Plan a custom flight path by setting multiple waypoints on the app map. The drone will then fly along this predetermined route.
