Charging time is approximately 2-2.5 hours.
Battery and Safety Precautions
Remote Control Battery Installation
- Remove the battery cover from the rear of the remote control.
- Install three 1.5V "AAA" batteries (sold separately), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery cover, securing it with the screws.
Precautions Related to Battery Use
- The use of batteries involves risks and may cause damage. Users assume all related responsibilities. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by battery use.
- If a battery leaks, avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash with soap and water if on skin. Flush eyes with cold water and seek medical attention.
- If the charger emits unusual odors, noises, or smoke, unplug it immediately.
- Strictly adhere to safety requirements to prevent fire, electric shock, or explosion.
Charging Precautions
- Charge the battery only with the original manufacturer-supplied charger. Do not use damaged chargers.
- Do not charge swollen, leaking, or damaged batteries.
- Do not overcharge. Disconnect the charger when fully charged. Do not recharge after it's fully charged to avoid overheating.
- Do not charge near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces (carpets, wood, etc.) or conductive surfaces.
- Keep the battery under observation at all times during charging.
- Never charge the battery immediately after use if it is still hot.
- Charge the battery at a temperature between 0°C and 40°C.
Recycling
- Do not dispose of the device as regular household waste.
- Damaged or unusable batteries must be placed in designated containers.
- This device contains electronic components and batteries. Follow special requirements for electronic and electrical waste disposal.
- Familiarize yourself with local waste disposal methods.

Remote Control and Aircraft Frequency Pairing and Unlocking
Pairing Procedure:
- Turn on the aircraft.
- Turn on the remote control.
- When the power indicators on both the remote control and the aircraft stop flashing and become solid, and the remote control beeps twice, the frequency pairing is complete.
(Ensure remote control is held for 2 seconds during pairing process)
Interior Eight Calibration
Place the aircraft on a level surface with the camera facing forward. Flick the left throttle stick to the bottom right corner, and simultaneously flick the right direction stick to the bottom left corner. The aircraft's indicator light will start flashing and then turn solid, indicating calibration is complete.
Flight Unlocking
Push the remote control throttle stick to the highest point; the remote will emit a "Di" sound. Then, pull it down to the lowest point; the remote will emit another beep. Release the throttle stick, allowing it to return to the center automatically. The aircraft is now unlocked.
One-Key Takeoff/Landing
Once the aircraft is unlocked, press the one-key takeoff/landing button to make the aircraft take off or land.
Initiate Flight
Push the throttle stick upwards; the aircraft's propellers will start spinning. Release the throttle stick. Push the throttle stick upwards again; the aircraft will hover in position.
Drone Functions and Controls
Demo Functions
IMPORTANT: The direction the camera faces is considered forward, and the opposite direction is backward.
- Ascend: Push the left (throttle) joystick upwards. The propeller rotation speed increases, and the aircraft ascends.
- Descend: Push the left (throttle) joystick downwards. The propeller rotation speed decreases, and the aircraft descends.
- Yaw Left/Right: Push the left (throttle) joystick left or right to rotate the aircraft's nose left or right.
- Pitch Forward/Backward: Push the right (direction) joystick upwards to move the aircraft forward. Push it downwards to move backward.
- Roll Left/Right (Strafe): Push the right (direction) joystick left to strafe the aircraft left. Push it right to strafe the aircraft right.
Entering Fine Tuning Mode
This function allows precise adjustment of the aircraft's flight attitude when it drifts. If the aircraft is drifting:
- Press the fine tuning button (you will hear a "di" sound) within 5 seconds.
- Invert the direction of the directional joystick to adjust the aircraft until it stops drifting.
- If no operation is performed for 5 seconds in fine tuning mode, it will exit automatically. You can also press the fine tuning button again to exit.
Fine Tuning Adjustments:
- If the aircraft is drifting backward, press the fine tuning button and push the directional joystick forward.
- If the aircraft is drifting forward, press the fine tuning button and push the directional joystick backward.
- If the aircraft is drifting left, press the fine tuning button and push the directional joystick right.
- If the aircraft is drifting right, press the fine tuning button and push the directional joystick left.
Note: When the aircraft is less than 30 cm from the ground, its own propellers can cause instability, known as "ground effect reaction." The lower the altitude, the greater this effect.
March Speed (Slow, Medium, Fast)
You can adjust the aircraft's speed based on your control proficiency. When the remote control is turned on, the default speed is slow. Press the speed button; the remote will beep twice for medium speed. Press again; it will beep three times for fast speed. Pressing again will beep once, returning to slow speed.
- Slow Speed: Display shows "EASY".
- Medium Speed: Display shows "M" (or "W" in some displays).
- Fast Speed: Display shows "H".
Headless Mode / One-Key Return
- Headless Mode: When activated, the aircraft's nose direction is considered the default forward direction, regardless of the aircraft's actual orientation. This is useful when visibility is poor. Press the button briefly to activate/deactivate.
- One-Key Return: Press and hold this button to activate the function. The aircraft will fly back towards the direction it was facing when it took off. Rotate the joystick in any direction to exit this function.
3D Flip
Once basic maneuvers are mastered, you can perform 3D flips. Fly the drone to a height of approximately 3 meters, press the flip button (remote beeps "di"), then quickly push the directional joystick forward, backward, left, or right to perform a flip in that direction. If no operation is performed within 8 seconds after pressing the flip button, the drone will return to normal mode.
360 Obstacle Avoidance Mode
When flying in an environment with obstacles, activate this function. The drone will detect obstacles in front, behind, left, or right and engage emergency braking. This ensures safer flight. (Recommended for indoor spaces larger than 6m x 6m).
Camera Adjustment, Flight Environment, and Troubleshooting
Camera Angle Adjustment
Use the "Camera Down" button to adjust the camera downwards, and the "Camera Up" button to adjust it upwards.
Pre-flight Environment Recommendations
- Indoor Flight: Choose a spacious area free of obstacles, pets, and people.
- Outdoor Flight: Prefer warm, sunny weather with little to no wind.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid flying in very hot or very cold conditions, as this can affect flight performance or damage the drone.
- Windy Conditions: Strong winds can cause the drone to get lost or damaged.
General Precautions
- Remote control range may be reduced if the remote or aircraft battery is insufficient.
- If the aircraft's power is insufficient, it may not fly high enough or may have difficulty taking off.
- If the drone is damaged or deformed (e.g., broken rotor), repair it promptly. Do not fly if severely damaged, as it may cause injury.
- Remove batteries from the remote control if not using it for an extended period to prevent leaks and product damage.
- Avoid crashing the drone from high altitudes or severe collisions, as this will damage the aircraft or shorten its lifespan.
Troubleshooting and Guidance

---|---|---|
No power to remote control | 1. Power switch is not turned on. 2. Batteries are not inserted correctly. 3. Batteries are depleted. |
1. Press the power switch to turn on. 2. Check battery installation and polarity. 3. Replace batteries. |
Vehicle unresponsive | 1. Remote control and aircraft frequency pairing not completed. 2. Aircraft is in low-voltage protection mode (indicator light flashing). |
1. Reconnect power to both aircraft and remote, then re-pair frequency. 2. Charge the aircraft. |
Flight state is biased (drifting) | 1. Aircraft is not placed on a level surface. 2. Aircraft is flying sideways. |
1. Place the aircraft on a level surface. 2. Adjust the fine-tuning button on the remote control. |
Remote control is not sensitive | 1. Remote control battery is low. 2. Aircraft is beyond the effective remote control distance. |
1. Replace remote control batteries. 2. Keep the aircraft within the effective remote control range. |
