  4. Charging typically takes approximately 60-90 minutes per battery.

3.2. Installing Drone Battery

  1. Unfold the drone arms.
  2. Insert the fully charged modular battery into the battery compartment on the drone until it clicks securely into place.

3.3. Remote Control Setup

The remote control requires 2 LR44 batteries (included). Install them into the battery compartment on the back of the remote.

  1. Attach the phone holder to the top of the remote control.
  2. Place your smartphone securely into the phone holder.
  3. Download and install the SIMREX drone application (refer to the QR code in the included manual for the app).
  4. Power on the drone, then power on the remote control.
  5. Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (usually named 'SIMREX-XXXXXX').
  6. Open the SIMREX app to establish a connection and view the camera feed.

3.4. Propeller Installation/Check

The drone comes with propellers pre-installed. If replacement is necessary, ensure correct orientation (A and B propellers) as indicated on the drone arms and propellers themselves.

4. Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the drone's controls and features before attempting flight.

4.1. Basic Flight Preparation

  1. Ensure the drone is placed on a flat, level surface.
  2. Perform gyroscope calibration by pushing both joysticks down and to the left/right simultaneously (refer to the specific manual for exact combination).
  3. Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection between your phone and the drone for FPV (First Person View) and app control.

4.2. One Key Start/Landing

This feature simplifies takeoff and landing, making it ideal for beginners.

  • Press the One Key Start button on the remote control or in the app. The drone will automatically take off and hover at a stable altitude.
  • Press the One Key Landing button. The drone will slowly descend and land automatically.

4.3. Altitude Hold & Optical Flow Positioning

These features contribute to stable flight and precise hovering.

  • Altitude Hold: The drone maintains a fixed height, allowing for stable video and photo capture without constant throttle input.
  • Optical Flow Positioning: Utilizes a bottom-mounted camera to detect ground patterns, enabling the drone to hover accurately in position, especially useful indoors or in low-wind conditions.

4.4. Headless Mode

In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, not the drone's front. This simplifies control, as pushing the joystick forward will always move the drone away from you, regardless of which way the drone is facing.

  • Activate Headless Mode by pressing the dedicated button on the remote.
  • Calibrate Headless Mode before flight for accurate control.

4.5. Waypoint Fly

Plan your flight path directly on your smartphone screen.

  • Open the SIMREX app and select the Waypoint Fly function.
  • Draw a desired flight path on the map displayed on your phone.
  • The drone will automatically follow the designated route.

4.6. 3D Flip

Perform exciting aerial acrobatics with a single button press.

  • Ensure sufficient altitude (at least 3 meters) before attempting a 3D flip.
  • Press the 3D Flip button and move the right joystick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right).

4.7. Speed Adjustment

The drone offers three speed modes to suit different skill levels and flying conditions.

  • Toggle between Low, Medium, and High speeds using the speed switch button on the remote.
  • Start with Low speed for learning and indoor flight, gradually increasing as you gain confidence.

  • Tilt your phone forward, backward, left, or right to control the drone's corresponding movement.

4.10. Flight Environment Considerations

  • The SIMREX X800 is recommended for indoor use.
  • If flying outdoors, operate only in windless conditions to maintain control and prevent loss.
  • Always maintain visual line of sight with the drone.
  • Avoid flying near obstacles, people, or animals.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your drone.

5.1. Cleaning

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lens.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Ensure no dust or debris obstructs the optical flow sensor on the bottom of the drone.

5.2. Propeller Replacement

In case of damage, replace propellers promptly.

  1. Power off the drone.
  2. Carefully remove the damaged propeller.
  3. Install a new propeller, ensuring it matches the 'A' or 'B' marking on the drone arm and the propeller itself. Incorrect installation will prevent flight.

5.3. Battery Care

  • Do not overcharge or over-discharge the batteries.
  • Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • If not used for an extended period, charge batteries to approximately 50% capacity.
