Ensure propellers are installed correctly according to their rotation direction (marked A or B) and match the corresponding motor arms. Incorrect installation can affect flight stability.

5.3. Remote Control Setup

Power on the remote control. Ensure it is fully charged. The remote control automatically connects to the drone when both are powered on and within range.

5.4. Drone Power On/Off

• Power On: Insert the charged battery into the drone's battery compartment. Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights illuminate.
• Power Off: Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn off. Remove the battery for storage.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure drone and remote control batteries are fully charged.
• Check that propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
• Verify the flight environment is safe and clear of obstacles.
• Power on the remote control, then the drone. Wait for GPS signal acquisition (if applicable).

6.2. Takeoff and Landing

• One-Touch Takeoff: Press the dedicated takeoff button on the remote control. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe altitude.
• Manual Takeoff: Push both control sticks outwards and downwards to start the motors, then slowly push the left stick up to ascend.
• One-Touch Landing: Press the dedicated landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left stick down to descend. Once landed, push both sticks outwards and downwards to stop the motors.

6.3. Flight Controls

The remote control uses standard drone control stick configurations:

• Left Stick (Throttle/Yaw): Up/Down for altitude, Left/Right for rotation.
• Right Stick (Pitch/Roll): Up/Down for forward/backward movement, Left/Right for left/right movement.

6.4. Intelligent Flight Functions

The S-X1 Drone features several intelligent flight modes:

• GPS Return to Home (RTH): Automatically returns the drone to its takeoff point. Triggered by one-touch, low battery, or signal loss.
• Automatic Follow Me: The drone tracks and follows the remote control or a designated subject.
• Custom Route (Waypoint Flight): Draw a desired flight path on the remote control screen, and the drone will follow it.
• Headless Mode: Eliminates the need to distinguish the drone's head direction, making it easier for beginners to control.
