Ready to fly your quadcopter

1. Press the ON/OFF power switch up.
2. Open battery cover, and connect battery connector with dash receiver.
3. Enclose battery into the fuselage, after closing battery cover, turn on the switch on the bottom of aircraft.
4. Push the throttle lever to the highest position, and then pull it back to the lowest position. There will be one clear sound from the transmitter, this shows that the quadcopter has entered into the pre-fly state.

Function introduction

1. Low-voltage protection: When four indicator lights on the bottom of aircraft start to flicker, it means electric quantity of the aircraft is insufficient. Please control the aircraft to make a return voyage.
2. Low-voltage protection: (Repeated) When four indicator lights on the bottom of aircraft start to flicker, it means electric quantity of the aircraft is insufficient. Please control the aircraft to make a return voyage.
3. Horizontal correcting function: Place the quadcopter on a horizontal position, then push transmitter both left and right lever to lowest right corner for about 2-3 seconds. Indicator on the quadcopter changed from normal lights up to quickly flashing. After 2-3 seconds the indicator changed to normal lights, it means the quadcopter restarted /reset successfully.
4. 3D eversion: When you are familiar with the basic operation, you can do some awesome & exciting tricks and stunts! First of all, fly the aircraft to a height of more than 3 meters, press the 3D Eversion switch on the rear right side of the transmitter, then push the right rudder (in any direction) to make 360 degree flip. Tips: 3D eversion goes better when battery power is enough.

Advanced functions

1. Photography/video instructions:
   1. Methods: Make sure the 3-pin plug of camera ? is inserted to the quadcopter. Turn the quadcopter power on, the camera works normally when the RED indicator change from flashing to green and keep light on. If the RED indicator just light on and light off seconds later, it means the SD card is not in the camera. Please insert the SD card, than the indicator light on GREEN.
   2. Get to know take photo and video: Turn on the transmitter and pull left lever up and down to connect signal between quadcopter and transmitter.
2. Throwing flight instructions: Thanks to the 6-axis gyroscope, you can throw the quadcopter and push the throttle right up, it will automatically level out and hover smoothly in the sky. This can also be done when the quadcopter is rolling.
3. Headless function:
   1. Forward definition: 1. Turn on power switch of remote control. 2. After aircraft connects with power supply, place the switch in "ON" position, adjust the direction pointed by aircraft's handpiece and regard it as the dead ahead in headless situation. 3. Push the accelerator's push rod of remote control to the highest point and pull back to the lowest point. When remote control pops, it indicates that frequency modulation and forward definition have already finished.
   2. Switch to headless function and general function: After frequency modulation, the aircraft defaults to general pattern. The indicator light on aircraft is long bright state. After pressing down headless function switch on the top left of master remote controller for 2 seconds, remote control will give out "DDD...", it means that it enters into headless state. After pressing for 2 seconds and hearing long "D", it means that it exits headless state. (In headless mode, four indicators on the aircraft flicker slowly for once within four seconds). In headless state, the operator has no need to recognize the position of aircraft's headpiece, and he just needs to control the aircraft in accordance with the direction of remote control's operating rod.
   3. Correcting forward direction: After aircraft crashes in headless state, if there is deviation in head direction, it just needs to adjust the aircraft's direction again, pull remote control's accelerator and operating rod to bottom left simultaneously. When indicator light on the aircraft flickers for slow three seconds, it means that correction is done.

Change battery of quadcopter
