Setup

1. Battery Charging and Installation:

1. Drone Battery: Connect the drone battery to the USB charging cable. Plug the USB cable into a 5V/2A USB adapter (not included). The indicator light on the battery will show charging status. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery. Insert the charged battery into the drone's battery compartment until it clicks securely.
2. Remote Controller Battery: The remote controller typically uses internal rechargeable batteries or standard AA batteries. Refer to the APP Instruction Manual for specific details on charging or installing batteries for your remote controller model.

2. Propeller Installation:

• Unfold the drone's arms carefully.
• Ensure propellers are correctly matched to their respective motor shafts (usually marked A and B). Attach them firmly using the provided screwdriver if necessary. Incorrect propeller installation will prevent stable flight.

3. Remote Control Pairing:

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
2. Power on the drone. The indicator lights will flash.
3. Power on the remote controller.
4. Push the left joystick up and then pull it down. The drone's indicator lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

4. Gyroscope Calibration:

After pairing, perform a gyroscope calibration. Push both joysticks down and to the left/right simultaneously (refer to APP manual for exact combination). The drone lights will flash rapidly and then become solid, indicating calibration is complete. This ensures stable flight.

Operating Instructions

Basic Flight Controls:

• Left Joystick (Throttle/Yaw): Push up to ascend, pull down to descend. Push left/right to rotate the drone left/right.
• Right Joystick (Pitch/Roll): Push up to fly forward, pull down to fly backward. Push left to fly left sideways, push right to fly right sideways.

One-Key Takeoff and Landing:

After calibration, press the one-key takeoff button on the remote controller (usually marked with an arrow pointing up) to automatically launch the drone to a stable hovering altitude. Press the one-key landing button (usually marked with an arrow pointing down) to initiate an automatic landing.

Headless Mode:

Activate headless mode by pressing the dedicated button on the remote. In this mode, the drone's orientation becomes irrelevant; it will always move relative to the pilot's position. Press the button again to exit headless mode.

Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance:

The i7 PRO drone is equipped with sensors that detect obstacles in front, back, left, and right directions. When an obstacle is detected, the drone will automatically adjust its flight path to avoid collision. This feature enhances flight safety, especially in complex environments.

Optical Flow Positioning:

This technology allows the drone to maintain its position accurately, even without GPS signals, by analyzing ground patterns. It provides stable hovering and precise control, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor flight.

Camera Operation:

• Remote Adjustment: Use the dedicated button on the remote controller to adjust the camera's angle up or down by 90 degrees during flight.
• Photo/Video: Press the photo button to take a picture or the video button to start/stop recording.
• APP Functions: Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network and open the dedicated app to access advanced camera features such as gesture photography (perform specific hand gestures to trigger photo/video), 50x zoom, and real-time FPV (First Person View) feed.

• Do not overcharge or completely discharge the battery.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50-60% capacity.

Propeller Inspection:

• Regularly inspect propellers for cracks, bends, or damage.
• Replace any damaged propellers immediately using the spare blades provided.
• Ensure propellers are securely attached before each flight.
