Setup Guide

1. Remote Controller Battery Installation

The remote controller requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the controller, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and close the compartment securely.

2. Drone Battery Charging & Installation

The DEERC D11 comes with 2 modular rechargeable batteries. Each battery provides approximately 8 minutes of flight time.

• Charging: Connect the drone battery to the USB charging cable. Plug the USB end into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The indicator light on the cable will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
• Installation: Gently slide the charged battery into the battery slot on the drone until it clicks into place.

The modular battery design allows for easy insertion and removal from the drone.

3. Pairing and Calibration

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface with its head (front) pointing forward.
2. Turn on the remote controller by pressing and holding the power button. The remote will beep.
3. Press and hold the power button on the drone. The drone's lights will blink, indicating it's searching for the remote.
4. Once the drone's lights become solid, it is successfully paired.
5. To calibrate the gyroscope, simultaneously push both joysticks on the remote controller towards the outer, lower corners. The drone's lights will blink rapidly and then turn solid, indicating successful calibration.
6. To unlock the motors, simultaneously push both joysticks towards the inner bottom corners. The propellers will start spinning slowly.

Operating Instructions

Basic Flight Controls

• One Key Takeoff/Landing: After unlocking the motors, press the One Key Takeoff/Landing button (usually indicated by an up/down arrow icon) to automatically take off or land.
• Throttle (Left Joystick): Push up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Direction (Right Joystick): Push forward to fly forward, pull back to fly backward. Push left to fly left, push right to fly right.
• Yaw (Left Joystick Left/Right): Push left to rotate counter-clockwise, push right to rotate clockwise.

Special Features

• Throw to Go: With motors unlocked, gently toss the drone into the air, and it will automatically stabilize and hover.


The 'Throw to Go' feature allows for an easy start by simply tossing the drone.

• Circle Fly: Press the Circle Fly button (refer to remote diagram) to make the drone perform circular motions in the air.

• Speed Switch: The drone has 3 speed modes (low, medium, high). Press the Speed Switch button to cycle through them, offering progressive challenges for pilots.
• Altitude Hold: This feature ensures stable hovering at a set altitude, making it easier for beginners to control the drone.


The Altitude Hold function keeps the drone stable at a desired height.

• Headless Mode: In Headless Mode, the drone's direction is always relative to the pilot's orientation, regardless of the drone's actual front. This provides care-free flying for beginners.

Maintenance

• Propeller Replacement: If a propeller is damaged, use the provided propeller removal tool to carefully detach it. Install a new propeller, ensuring it is correctly oriented (refer to the manual for specific markings if any).
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and propellers. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the batteries. If not used for a long period, charge them to about 50% capacity.

Troubleshooting

• Drone not pairing: Ensure both the drone and remote controller are fully charged. Turn on the remote first, then the drone. Make sure they are within range and there is no interference. Repeat the pairing steps.
• Drone drifting: Perform a gyroscope calibration on a flat, level surface. If drifting persists, check for any damaged propellers and replace them if necessary.
• Short flight time: Ensure batteries are fully charged before each flight. Flight time can be affected by aggressive flying, wind conditions, and frequent use of special features.
• Propellers not spinning: Ensure motors are unlocked after pairing and calibration. Check for any obstructions around the propellers.
