  • The drone's 3.7V, 500mAh Li-Po battery is pre-installed.
  • Connect the USB charging cable to the drone's charging port and to a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
  • Charging time is approximately 60-85 minutes. The indicator light on the USB cable will change when charging is complete.

4. Installing Remote Control Batteries

The remote control requires 3x AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control, insert the batteries with correct polarity, and close the compartment.

5. Pairing the Drone and Remote Control

Operating Instructions

1. Take-off and Landing

  • Automatic Take-off: After pairing, press the automatic take-off/landing button on the remote control. The drone will ascend to a stable hovering height.
  • Manual Take-off: Alternatively, push both joysticks diagonally outwards and downwards to start the propellers, then slowly push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to ascend.
  • Automatic Landing: Press the automatic take-off/landing button again. The drone will slowly descend and land.
  • Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick (throttle) downwards until the drone lands, then release the joystick.

2. Basic Flight Controls (4 Channels)

  • Left Joystick (Throttle):
    • Up/Down: Controls altitude (ascend/descend).
    • Left/Right: Controls rotation (yaw) of the drone.
  • Right Joystick (Direction):
    • Up/Down: Controls forward/backward movement.
    • Left/Right: Controls left/right lateral movement.

3. 360° Rotations (Looping Function)

To perform a 360° rotation:

  1. Ensure the drone is flying at a sufficient height (at least 3 meters).
  2. Press the looping button on the remote control (you will hear a beep).
  3. Immediately push the right joystick in the desired direction (left, right, up, or down) to execute the flip.

4. Camera Operation (Photos & Videos)

The drone is equipped with a 0.3 Mega Pixel camera (480p resolution) for capturing aerial footage. A micro SD card and card reader are not included and must be purchased separately to store recordings.

Maintenance

1. Propeller Replacement

If a propeller is damaged, use the included screwdriver to carefully remove the damaged propeller and replace it with a spare. Ensure the new propeller is securely fastened and matches the original's rotation direction (indicated by markings on the propeller and drone arm).

2. Cleaning

Wipe the drone and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners, as this may damage electronic components.

3. Storage

When not in use, store the drone in its transport pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from the remote control if storing for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Drone does not respond to remote control. Not paired, low battery in remote or drone, out of range. Ensure drone and remote are on and paired. Recharge drone battery. Replace remote control batteries. Fly within 30m range.
Drone flies erratically or drifts. Uncalibrated gyroscope, damaged propeller, uneven surface at take-off. Place drone on a flat surface, turn it on, and perform gyroscope calibration (refer to remote control instructions for specific button combination, usually holding both joysticks down and to the right/left). Check propellers for damage and replace if necessary.
Camera not recording or taking photos. No micro SD card inserted, SD card full or corrupted, incorrect button press. Insert a formatted micro SD card. Ensure sufficient space. Press the correct photo/video button firmly.
Short flight time. Battery not fully charged, old battery, aggressive flying. Ensure battery is fully charged (60-85 minutes). Li-Po batteries degrade over time; consider replacing if performance significantly drops. Fly more conservatively.
