Remote Control Operation
1. Mobile phone rack: Pull out the mobile phone handle and clamp the mobile phone securely.
2.4G Frequency Alignment
1. Turn on the aircraft's power switch and place it on a flat ground. The indicator light will flash. Turn on the remote control's power switch, push the power lever to the highest position for 1 second, then pull it to the lowest position with a 'Di' sound. The aircraft indicator will remain lit, indicating successful frequency alignment. The flight can now begin.
2. Frequency alignment: Turn on the aircraft's power and place it on a flat surface with a flashing indicator. Turn on the remote control, push the power lever to the highest position for 1 second, then pull it to the lowest position with a 'Di' sound and a long-lasting indicator light. This signifies successful frequency matching, and the flight can commence.
3. One-button Take-off and Landing
Tip: This product uses a barometer for altitude determination. Due to environmental factors like temperature, altitude changes during initial flight or low voltage are normal.
It is suggested that the height of this product is determined by barometer. Due to the influence of various environmental temperatures and other factors, it is normal for the aircraft to change evenly at the beginning of flight or at low voltage.
Note: Operation is only possible after 2.4G frequency alignment is completed.
- One-button lifting: Lifts the drone with a single button press.
- One-button descent: Lands the drone with a single button press.
5. Flight Control
- Throttle (left rocker): Controls ascent and descent.
- Rotation (left rocker): Controls the drone's yaw.
- Forward and backward (right rocker): Controls forward and backward movement.
- Left and right side flight (right rocker): Controls sideways movement.
Remote Control and Aircraft Battery Installation and Charging Instructions
1. Remote control battery installation: Insert AA batteries correctly according to the polarity (+,-) indicated in the battery box.
2. Aircraft battery charging:
- (1) Remove the battery from the aircraft.
- (2) Connect the battery to the specific charging cable and then plug the cable into a charging device, such as a computer's USB port.
- (3) The charging indicator light is red while charging and turns off when fully charged.
Charging time is approximately 60 minutes.
3. Aircraft battery installation and startup: Insert the fully charged battery into the aircraft's battery slot and hold down the power switch until the aircraft lights up.
Aircraft Installation
1. Folding function: Instructions for folding the drone.
2. Installation of aircraft blades: Please install the propeller in the correct direction, aligning it with the markings (A/B) on the drone's arm, and then secure it with screws.
Direction Definition and Mode Selection of Headless Mode
When switching to headless mode, the aircraft abandons its own front, back, left, and right directions. It uses the direction of the drone's nose (the side with the camera) as the forward direction when paired with 2.4G frequency.
1. Direction definition before take-off: Position the drone's forward direction directly in front of you (the side with the camera). Then, turn on the remote control for 2.4G frequency alignment to complete the headless mode direction definition for this flight.
2. Flying: Press the headless mode button. The remote control will emit continuous beeps, and the drone's lights will flash rapidly, indicating entry into headless mode. Pressing the headless mode button again will cause the remote control to emit a 'di' and 'di' sound, exiting headless mode.
Note: Before entering headless mode, the forward direction must be determined, which is the direction of the drone on the ground after startup.
Horizontal Calibration
If the drone cannot rise vertically after takeoff, you can calibrate it by pressing the 'One Key Correction' button. The drone's indicator light will flash rapidly, and when it stays lit, calibration is complete. This correction command must be executed in a stable state parallel to the horizontal line; otherwise, the correction effect will be affected.
Horizontal calibration can be performed if the drone cannot ascend vertically during takeoff. Press the 'One Key Correction' button while the drone's indicator flashes rapidly. When the indicator lights up, the correction is complete. The correction command must be executed in a stable state parallel to the horizontal line; otherwise, the correction effect will be affected.
Fine-tuning Operations
If the drone drifts continuously in a certain direction in the air or rotates left/right in place, you can make slight adjustments using the following operations to achieve a stable flight state.
- Drifting forward or backward: Adjust the direction accordingly.
- Drifting left or right: Adjust the direction accordingly.
Speed Switch
The speed switch has three settings for forward, backward, and left/right flight. It defaults to speed 1 upon powering on. Pressing the remote control button twice results in speed 2, three times for speed 3, and one beep returns to speed 1.
360° Rolling
Implementation Steps:
- Press the 360° rolling button once. The remote control will emit continuous beeps ('bip', 'bip', 'bip').
- Push the right joystick. The drone will then perform a 360° roll according to the direction of the joystick push.
Note: The 360° roll function is automatically disabled when the drone enters a low voltage state.
Problem Solving Guidelines
Problem | Cause | Treatment Mode |
---|---|---|
Indicator light flashes continuously after connecting the battery, and the operation is unresponsive. | 2.4G frequency alignment between aircraft and remote control was unsuccessful. | Please re-perform 2.4G alignment between the aircraft and the remote control. |
No reaction after connecting the battery. | (1) Check if the remote control or aircraft is powered on. (2) Check if the remote control or aircraft battery has low voltage. (3) Check if the battery's positive and negative plates are in poor contact. | (1) Reinstall the battery. (2) Charge or replace with new batteries. (3) Confirm that the positive and negative polarities of the battery are installed correctly. |
When pushing the throttle lever, the motor does not rotate, and the aircraft's indicator light flashes continuously. | Aircraft battery is low. | Charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery. |
The aircraft's propeller keeps rotating but cannot take off. | (1) Propeller deformation. (2) Aircraft battery power is insufficient. | (1) Replace the propeller. (2) Charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery. |
The aircraft vibrates badly. | Propeller deformation. | Change propeller. |
The aircraft always drifts in one direction. | The center point of the gyroscope on the aircraft is wrong. | Recalibrate horizontally or reboot. Re-alignment. |
The aircraft lost its balance after falling and cannot take off. | The center point of the gyroscope on the aircraft is wrong. | Recalibrate horizontally or reboot. Re-alignment. |
