5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

Helicopter Battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the helicopter.
2. Insert the 7.4V lithium battery into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Secure the battery cover.

Remote Control Batteries:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert 4 x 1.5V AA batteries (not included), observing the correct polarity.
3. Close the battery cover securely.

5.2 Charging the Helicopter Battery

Use only the provided USB charger.

1. Connect the USB charger to a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
2. Connect the helicopter battery to the charger.
3. The charging indicator light on the USB charger will show the charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
4. Charging typically takes approximately 50 minutes. Do not overcharge.
5. Disconnect the battery once fully charged.

6. Operation

6.1 Pairing the Helicopter and Remote Control

1. Ensure both the helicopter battery and remote control batteries are installed and charged.
2. Place the helicopter on a flat, level surface.
3. Turn on the helicopter's power switch. The indicator light will flash.
4. Turn on the remote control.
5. Push the left throttle stick all the way up, then all the way down. The remote control will beep, and the helicopter's indicator light will become solid, indicating successful pairing.

6.2 Basic Flight Controls

Ensure you are in 6G mode for stable flight, especially if you are a beginner.

• Take-off: Press the One-Key Take-off button or slowly push the left throttle stick up.
• Altitude: Push the left stick up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Yaw (Rotation): Push the left stick left to rotate counter-clockwise, right to rotate clockwise.
• Forward/Backward: Push the right stick up to fly forward, pull down to fly backward.
• Side-to-Side (Roll): Push the right stick left to fly left, right to fly right.
• Landing: Press the One-Key Landing button or slowly pull the left throttle stick down until the helicopter lands.

6.3 Advanced Flight Modes

• 6G Mode (Stabilized Flight): Ideal for beginners. The 6-axis gyro and altitude hold systems provide maximum stability.
• 3D Mode (Acrobatic Flight): For experienced pilots. Allows for inverted flight, flips, and other aerobatic maneuvers. Switch to 3D mode using the dedicated button on the remote control.
• One-Key 3D Inverted Flight: In 3D mode, a specific button press can initiate an automatic inverted flight sequence. Refer to the remote control diagram for the exact button.
