6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Calibration

Important: Always calibrate the drone before each flight and after any hard landing or if the drone tips over. Place the drone on a flat, level surface for calibration.

1. Turn on the drone and the remote control.
2. Pair the remote with the drone (refer to quick start guide for specific pairing steps).
3. Perform gyroscope calibration by moving both joysticks to the bottom-right corner simultaneously until the drone's lights flash and then become solid.

6.2 Takeoff and Landing

The T29 drone features a one-key takeoff and landing function for ease of use.

• One-Key Takeoff: Press the one-key takeoff button on the remote control. The drone will automatically ascend to a stable altitude and hover.
• One-Key Landing: Press the one-key landing button. The drone will slowly descend and land automatically.
