Flight Guide

Safety Instructions:
The flight of the drone must comply with local laws and regulations. Keep a safe distance in all directions around the drone to avoid collision. Operate a drone in an open space away from people and traffic.

Arm/Disarm and Flight Modes:

Arm: The motor rotates at idle speed, and the drone can be controlled at this time.

Disarm: The motor of the aircraft stops immediately, and the drone cannot be controlled at this time.
Switch SA: Arm/Disarm of drone. Drone will be disarmed if SA is down. Drone attempts to arm if the user moves switch SA up (Arming may fail if the throttle is not at the lowest position).

Flight Guide

So far, you have the necessary understanding of transmitter and drone, you can start from the flight guide

Safety instructions
The flight of the drone must comply with local laws and regulations!
Keep a safe distance in all directions around the drone to avoid collision.
Operate a drone in an open space away from people and traffic.

Arm/disarm and flight modes

Arm：The motor rotates at idle speed, and the drone can be controlled at this time

Disram：The motor of the aircraft stops immediately, and the drone cannot be controlled at this time

Switch SA: Arm/Disram of drone
Drone will be disarmed if SA is down
Drone attempts to arm if the user moves switch SA up（Arming may fail If the throttle is not at the lowest position)

To ensure your flight experience, the dronet has two flight modes:

Leve mode：
The joysticks controls the current tilt angle of thedrone. The drone will return to horizontal flight when the joysticks are centered,Recommended for beginners.

ACRO mode:
The joysticks controls the rotation speed of the drone. When the joystick is centered, the drone will maintain its current angle.

Switch SB: Level/Arco mode
The flight mode is “level mode”.If the switch SB is down
Theflight mode is “acro mode”If switch SB is up

Basic operation of drone

Power the drone
Strap the battery to the upper cover plate of the drone, connect its XT60 plug to the same plug of the aircraft, the flight control indicator lights up, and the power supply of the drone is successful
Warning⚠：
In the case of non immediate flight such as drone maintenance, please remove the blades when connecting the battery.

Replacement of propeller
Grasp the motor by hand, use the matching wrench to remove the blade nut, pull out the blade, and replace it according to the figure below.
The blade is sharp. Pay attention to safety when disassembling the blade.
Other tools can be used if necessary.

Binding
This kit has completed the frequency matching between the transmitter and the receiver. If you want to use another receiver or repeat bind, please follow the following steps:

Turn on the transmitter power and press the bind key to enter the code matching state.
Press and hold the bind key on the receiver, and connect the power to the receiver. The flash of the indicator light on the receiver indicates that the receiver enters the code matching state; After successful bind, the status indicator of the receiver changes from fast flashing to slow flashing.
Exit the transmitter from the binding interface manually, and the status indicator of the receiver will be on.

Check whether the transmitter, receiver and model work normally. If there is any abnormality, repeat the above steps to re code.

Pre flight inspection
Make sure that all components are included and not damaged, and the battery is installed firmly。

Confirm that the propeller and motor are installed correctly.

Make sure that the propeller does not scratch any parts.
Make sure that the transmitter and the receiver are correctly connected Verify that (drone, transmitter) is fully charged.
Make sure you are familiar with all flight controls.

Frist fly
When everything is ready, you can start to enjoy flying Return the throttle joystick to lowest position (refer to Section 2.3), turn on the transmitter and check that the switch SA is down
Install and power up batteries for the aircraft

After confirming the safety of the environment, turn the switch SB down （arm the drone） and start your flight
For the first flight, please push the throttle joystick slowly and gently to control the drone to hover stably in front of you to adapt to the sense of control. The tail is always facing you. When you can hover stably and control skillfully, slowly increase the flight distance

Warning&security

If the drone collides with any object, turn the switch SA down（disarm the drone） immediately.
Learn to control drone skillfully before flying in a larger area。

Battery life will be significantly shortened If you continue to fly after displaying the low voltage warning
Keep the UAV away from water and do not fly in the rain. If the equipment touches water, it may be damaged by short circuit.
Do not fly in bad weather.

Do not fly in areas not allowed by local law.。

BATTERY

Battery voltage
The battery consists of four cells. The single cell voltage of the battery needs to be kept above 3.5V （14v for one battery）at all times and 4.2V （16.8v for one battery）is full charge. Excessive charge or discharge will cause serious damage to the battery. Please use the charger included in the package for charging

Charging method
The charger included in the product has the functions of overcharge protection and balanced charging. You can use the charger directly. The usage is as follows:
Connect the charger to the power supply and connect the battery to the charger

When the charger is not charged, the green light will be on; when it is charged, the red light will be on; when it is full, the red light will be off

Preservation method

When the battery is not used for a long time, the storage voltage should be kept at about 3.85v （15.4v for one battery）for a single cell, and it should be placed in a cool and dry place

Warning&security

Stay away from children. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not use or store the battery near the heat source, microwave oven or open fire. Do not damage the battery violently.

Only use battery chargers that meet the specifications when charging.

Do not use or store the battery in extremely hot environment, such as in a car in direct sunlight or hot weather. Overheating will affect the performance of the battery and shorten the service life of the battery. Overheated batteries can also catch fire.

If the battery has peculiar smell, heating, deformation, discoloration or other abnormal phenomena, please stop using the battery. Recycle and replace the battery.

Discarding batteries at will may cause a fire. Before disposal, discharge the battery completely and handle the battery output connector with insulating tape. Refer to local regulations before handling or recycling batteries.
