5. Setup

5.1. Battery Installation

Drone Battery

1. Locate the battery compartment on the drone.
2. Connect the rechargeable battery to the drone's power connector.
3. Carefully place the battery into the compartment and close the cover.

Remote Control Batteries

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert 3 AA batteries (included) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
3. Close the battery cover securely.

5.2. Charging the Drone Battery

The drone's rechargeable battery provides approximately 15 minutes of flight time per charge.

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the drone's battery.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
3. The indicator light on the USB cable will illuminate during charging and turn off or change color when fully charged.
4. Charging typically takes 60-90 minutes. Do not leave charging unattended.

5.3. Pairing the Drone and Remote Control

Follow these steps to establish a connection between your drone and the remote control:

1. Ensure both the drone and remote control batteries are fully charged.
2. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
3. Turn on the drone's power switch. The drone's LED lights will flash.
4. Turn on the remote control. The remote's indicator light will flash.
5. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down.
6. The drone's LED lights and the remote's indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

6. Operation

6.1. Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure drone and remote control batteries are charged.
• Verify propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
• Choose a safe, open flight area.

6.2. Take-off and Landing

One-Key Take-off

After pairing, press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a stable altitude.

One-Key Landing

During flight, press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button again. The drone will automatically descend and land gently.

6.3. Basic Flight Controls

• Ascend/Descend: Push the Left Joystick up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Turn Left/Right (Yaw): Push the Left Joystick left to rotate left, push right to rotate right.
• Forward/Backward: Push the Right Joystick up to fly forward, pull down to fly backward.
• Fly Left/Right: Push the Right Joystick left to fly left, push right to fly right.

6.4. Special Features

Speed Modes

The drone has 2 different speed settings. Press the Speed Control button on the remote to cycle through low and high speeds. Low speed is recommended for beginners and indoor flight.

Stunt Flip (360 Flips)

To perform a 360-degree flip, fly the drone to a height of at least 3 meters (10 feet). Press the Stunt Flip button, then quickly push the Right Joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right). The drone will perform a flip in that direction.

Obstacle Avoidance

The drone is equipped with obstacle avoidance sensors. When activated, the drone can detect nearby obstacles and adjust its flight path to prevent collisions.

Motion Control

The drone features motion control, allowing you to influence its flight path with hand gestures. Press the Motion Control button on the remote to activate this feature. Refer to the remote control diagram for the specific button.

Headless Mode

Headless mode simplifies flight by eliminating the need to orient the drone. In this mode, the drone's 'front' is always relative to the pilot, regardless of its actual orientation. Activate Headless Mode using the dedicated button on the remote control (refer to the remote control diagram).

6.5. Flight Tips

• Start with low speed mode until you are comfortable with the controls.
• Practice hovering in a stable position before attempting complex maneuvers.
• Always maintain a clear line of sight with the drone.
• If the drone drifts, use the trim buttons on the remote control to adjust its stability.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone and remote control. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Propellers: Regularly check propellers for damage or debris. Replace any bent or broken propellers to ensure stable flight.
• Storage: Store the drone and remote control in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Remove batteries from both devices if storing for an extended period.
