5.1 Charging the Batteries

Ensure all batteries (drone, remote control, FPV goggles) are fully charged before use.

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging case.
2. Insert the drone batteries into the charging case. The indicator light will show charging status.
3. Plug the USB charging cable into the remote control's charging port. The display light will indicate charging status.
4. Plug the USB charging cable into the FPV VR goggles' charging port. The indicator light will show charging status.

Note: The display light on the remote control will be solid green when fully charged. The FPV VR goggles will show a red light during charging and turn off when fully charged.

5.2 Drone and Remote Control Pairing

1. Connect the drone battery power cord into the drone interface. The LED lights on the drone will flash.
2. Press and hold the power-on key on the remote control to turn it on.
3. The drone and remote control will automatically pair. The drone's LED lights will stop flashing and remain solid when paired.

5.3 Drone Calibration

The drone must be calibrated on a horizontal plane to ensure stable flight. Otherwise, it may affect flight performance.

1. Place the drone on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Simultaneously push both joysticks of the remote control to the lower right for calibration. The drone's lights will flash rapidly during calibration.
3. Once calibration is complete, the drone's lights will become solid.
4. If the drone's lights continue to flash, gently shake the drone several times to enter the calibrate state (LED lights flashing). Then, long press the calibrate key on the remote control to re-proofread.

5.4 FPV VR Goggles Setup

1. Press and hold the power-on key on the FPV VR goggles to start them.
