Setup Guide

1. Battery Installation and Charging

  • Ensure the drone battery is fully charged before first use. Connect the USB charger to the battery and a power source. The charging indicator will show progress.
  • Insert the fully charged battery into the designated compartment on the drone. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
  • Install the required batteries into the remote control.

If propellers are not pre-installed, attach them according to the markings (e.g., A and B) on the propellers and motor arms. Ensure they are firmly secured.

3. Remote Control and Drone Pairing

  1. Place the drone on a horizontal surface with its head facing forward.
  2. Turn on the drone first. The drone's lights will flash.
  3. Turn on the remote control. The remote control lights will flash quickly during automatic frequency binding.
  4. Once the automatic linking is successful, the lights on both the drone and remote will stop flashing and remain solid.

4. Mobile App Installation (for FPV and advanced features)

To utilize the drone's First Person View (FPV) and advanced camera features, download the dedicated mobile application from your device's app store. Search for "ZVFOTN Drone" or refer to the QR code in the quick start guide (not provided in this manual). Connect your mobile device to the drone's Wi-Fi network (usually named "ZVFOTN_XXXXXX").
