5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Battery

The drone uses a modular lithium battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before each flight.

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the drone battery.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a 5V/1A USB power adapter (not included).
3. The indicator light on the cable will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, off for fully charged). Charging typically takes about 60-90 minutes.

5.2 Installing the Drone Battery

1. Ensure the drone is powered off.
2. Insert the fully charged modular battery into the battery compartment on the drone's rear until it clicks into place.

5.3 Preparing the Remote Controller

The remote controller requires 3x AAA batteries (not included).

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote controller.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment.

5.4 Propeller Installation (if required)

If propellers are not pre-installed or need replacement:

1. Match the propeller type (A or B) with the corresponding motor arm. Each motor arm is marked.
2. Gently push the propeller onto the motor shaft until it is securely seated.

5.5 App Installation and Wi-Fi Connection

For FPV (First Person View) and advanced features, download the dedicated drone app.

1. Scan the QR code provided in the quick start guide (or search for the app name, e.g., 'V9 FPV' or 'RC Drone') on your smartphone's app store (iOS/Android).
2. Install the app.
3. Power on the drone.
4. Go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings and connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network (e.g., 'V9-XXXXXX').
5. Open the drone app. The live video feed should appear, indicating a successful connection.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off and Pairing

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn on.
3. Power on the remote controller. The controller will beep, and its indicator light will flash.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone and controller lights will become solid, indicating successful pairing.

6.2 Gyro Calibration

After pairing, calibrate the gyroscope for stable flight:

• Push both joysticks down and to the right simultaneously. The drone lights will flash rapidly and then become solid, indicating calibration is complete.

6.3 One-Click Take-off and Landing

Figure 6.1: One-Click Take-off/Landing and Headless Mode. This image illustrates the simplicity of one-key take-off and landing, showing the drone ascending from a marked spot, and also depicts the concept of headless mode, where the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot.

• Take-off: Press the One-Key Take-off button (usually indicated by an arrow pointing up). The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a certain altitude.
• Landing: Press the One-Key Landing button (usually indicated by an arrow pointing down). The drone will automatically descend and land gently.

6.4 Basic Flight Controls

• Left Joystick (Throttle):
  • Push up: Ascend
  • Push down: Descend
  • Push left/right: Rotate left/right (Yaw)
• Right Joystick (Direction):
  • Push up/down: Fly forward/backward (Pitch)
  • Push left/right: Fly left/right (Roll)

6.5 Advanced Flight Functions

• Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button. In this mode, the drone's forward direction is relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's actual orientation. Press again to exit.
• Altitude Hold/Steady Hover: The drone automatically maintains its altitude, allowing for stable hovering. This feature is typically active by default.
• One-Key Return: Press the One-Key Return button. The drone will attempt to fly back towards its take-off point. This function is based on the initial take-off direction and does not use GPS.
• Speed Switch: Press the Speed Switch button to cycle through different speed modes (e.g., low, medium, high).
• Trajectory Flight: (Via App) In the app, draw a flight path on your screen. The drone will automatically follow the drawn trajectory.


Figure 6.2: Trajectory Flight and 360° Roll. This image demonstrates the trajectory flight feature, where a user can draw a path on the app for the drone to follow, and also illustrates the drone performing a 360-degree roll stunt.

• 360° Roll: Fly the drone to a height of at least 3 meters. Press the 360° Roll button, then push the right joystick in the desired direction (forward, backward, left, or right) to perform a flip.
• Gesture Recognition: (Via App) When the drone's camera is facing you, perform specific hand gestures (refer to app instructions) to trigger photo or video recording.
• Gravity Sensor Control: (Via App) Enable this mode in the app to control the drone's direction by tilting your smartphone.
• VR 3D Mode: (Via App) Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi and place it into a compatible VR 3D headset. The app will split the screen for an immersive first-person view.
