1. Unfold the drone arms.
2. Insert a fully charged flight battery into the drone. Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn on.
3. Turn on the remote control by pressing its power switch.
4. The drone and remote control will automatically attempt to pair. Wait for the indicator lights on the drone to become solid, indicating a successful connection.

4.4 Calibration

Before the first flight and after any significant impact, calibrate the drone's gyroscope and geomagnetic sensors. Refer to the user manual or guide video for specific calibration procedures. Proper calibration ensures stable flight performance.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure all batteries (drone and remote) are fully charged.
• Propellers are correctly installed and undamaged.
