Setup
1. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge the drone's flight battery and the remote control's internal battery.
- Connect the USB charging cable to the drone battery (if removable) or directly to the drone's charging port.
- Connect the other end to a USB power adapter (5V/2A recommended).
- Charging indicators will show progress. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable.
- Repeat for the remote control if it has a separate charging port.
2. Installing Propellers
Ensure propellers are installed correctly according to their markings (A and B) and the drone's motor arms.
- Match the 'A' propellers to the 'A' marked motor arms and 'B' propellers to 'B' marked arms.
- Secure each propeller with the provided screws using the screwdriver.
- Caution: Incorrect propeller installation can lead to unstable flight or loss of control.
3. Unfolding the Drone
Gently unfold the drone's arms until they click into place. Ensure all arms are fully extended and locked.
4. Pairing the Drone and Remote Control
- Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights flash.
- Turn on the remote control.
- Push the left control stick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone's lights will become solid, indicating successful pairing.
Operating
1. Pre-Flight Checks
- Ensure batteries are fully charged for both drone and remote.
- Check that propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
- Verify that the drone and remote are successfully paired.
- Choose an open, clear area free from obstacles, people, and animals.
- Check weather conditions (no strong winds, rain).
2. Takeoff and Landing
- Manual Takeoff: Push both control sticks down and outwards simultaneously to arm the motors. Then, slowly push the left stick (throttle) up to ascend.
- One-Key Takeoff: Press the dedicated one-key takeoff button on the remote control. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe hovering height.
- Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left stick (throttle) down to descend. Once on the ground, hold the stick down for a few seconds until motors stop.
- One-Key Landing: Press the dedicated one-key landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land.
3. Flight Controls
| Control Stick | Movement | Drone Action |
|---|---|---|
| Left Stick | Up/Down | Ascend/Descend (Throttle) |
| Left Stick | Left/Right | Rotate Left/Right (Yaw) |
| Right Stick | Up/Down | Move Forward/Backward (Pitch) |
| Right Stick | Left/Right | Move Left/Right (Roll) |
4. Camera Operation
- Adjusting Camera Angle: Use the dedicated dial or button on the remote control to adjust the 90° tilt of the main camera.
- Taking Photos: Press the photo button on the remote control. The drone will take a single picture.
- Recording Video: Press the video button to start recording. Press again to stop. Video footage is saved to the drone's memory card (if installed) or transmitted to the remote's display.
- Switching Cameras: If applicable, use the camera switch button to toggle between the front and bottom cameras.
5. Intelligent Flight Modes
- Obstacle Avoidance: The drone's front sensors actively detect obstacles. When an obstacle is detected, the drone will automatically slow down or stop to prevent collision. This feature is designed for assistance and does not replace pilot vigilance.
- 5G HD FPV Transmission: The remote control's integrated screen displays real-time, high-definition video from the drone's camera. Ensure a clear line of sight between the drone and remote for optimal signal.
- Optical Flow Hovering: The bottom optical flow sensor helps the drone maintain a stable position indoors or in areas with good ground patterns, even without GPS signal.
- GPS Return (One-Key Return): When GPS signal is strong, pressing the One-Key Return button will command the drone to automatically fly back to its takeoff point. Ensure the takeoff point is clear.
- Headless Mode: In headless mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's front direction. This simplifies control for beginners.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your drone.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lenses. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace any damaged propellers immediately.
- Battery Care:
- Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
- Store batteries at approximately 50% charge if not used for extended periods.
- Keep batteries away from extreme temperatures.
- Storage: Fold the drone arms and store it in its original packaging or a protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone does not power on. | Low battery; battery not inserted correctly. | Charge battery; reinsert battery firmly. |
| Drone does not respond to remote. | Not paired; remote battery low; interference. | Re-pair drone and remote; charge remote; move to an area with less interference. |
| Unstable flight/drifting. | Propellers damaged/incorrectly installed; drone not calibrated; strong wind. | Check/replace propellers; perform gyroscope calibration (refer to remote manual); avoid flying in windy conditions. |
| Poor video/image quality or no FPV feed. | Weak signal; camera lens dirty; memory card issues. | Fly closer to drone; clean lens; check/format memory card. |
| Obstacle avoidance not working. | Sensors dirty/blocked; flying too fast; specific lighting conditions. | Clean sensors; reduce speed; be aware of environmental limitations. |
