Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Turn on the drone and place it on a flat surface. Then, turn on the remote controller. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up and then all the way down. The indicator lights on the drone should change from flashing to solid, indicating a successful connection.
Flashing lights typically indicate that the drone or helicopter is not paired with the remote, or the battery is low. If pairing was successful, recharge the flight battery fully and try again.
Most entry-level SYMA toy drones are under 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and do not typically require registration for recreational use in the USA. However, heavier GPS models may require registration. Always check current local aviation regulations.
Headless Mode allows the drone to move in the direction of the joystick regardless of where its nose is pointing. To activate, usually press and hold the designated Headless Mode button on the controller until the remote beeps or the drone lights flash rhythmically.
Spare parts such as propellers, batteries, landing gears, and motors are widely available through major online retailers or authorized hobby shops. Consult your specific model's manual for part numbers.
