5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Controls
- Left Joystick (Throttle): Up/Down for ascend/descend; Left/Right for yaw (rotate).
- Right Joystick (Direction): Up/Down for forward/backward; Left/Right for left/right sideward flight.
- Refer to the remote control diagram (if provided with product) for specific button functions.
5.2 One-Key Takeoff and Landing
- After pairing, press the One-Key Takeoff button (usually indicated by an arrow pointing up) on the remote control. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a certain altitude.
- To land, press the One-Key Landing button (usually indicated by an arrow pointing down). The drone will slowly descend and land automatically.
5.3 Altitude Hold
- The T20 drone features an altitude hold function, allowing it to maintain a stable height without constant throttle input. This makes it easier for beginners to control.
5.4 Headless Mode
- Press the Headless Mode button on the remote control to activate. In Headless Mode, the drone's forward direction is relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's actual orientation. This simplifies control for beginners.
- Press the button again to exit Headless Mode.
5.5 Speed Adjustment
- The drone has three adjustable speed modes: Low, Medium, and High.
- Press the Speed button (often indicated by a fan icon or speed indicator) on the remote control to cycle through the speed settings.
- Start with Low speed for learning and gradually increase as you gain experience.
