2. Power on the drone. The drone's indicator lights will flash.
3. Power on the remote controller.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone's lights will stop flashing and become solid, indicating successful pairing.

5.2. Take-off and Landing

• Automatic Take-off: After pairing, press the one-key take-off button on the remote controller. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a stable altitude.
• Manual Take-off: After pairing, push both joysticks down and outwards simultaneously to unlock the motors. Then, slowly push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to ascend.
• Automatic Landing: Press the one-key landing button. The drone will slowly descend and land.
• Emergency Landing: In an emergency, press the emergency landing button to quickly stop the motors and land the drone.

5.3. Flight Controls

• Speed Adjustment: Use the speed button on the remote to cycle through different flight speeds (low, medium, high).
• Headless Mode: Press the headless mode button. In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier to control regardless of which way the drone is facing.
• 360° Flip: While flying, press the 360° flip button and then move the right joystick in the desired direction to perform an automatic flip.
• Return Mode: Press the return mode button. The drone will attempt to fly back towards the take-off point. Note: This is not a GPS-based return and its accuracy may vary.
