4. Pre-flight Precautions

1. Ensure the remote control and drone battery are fully charged.
2. Confirm the left joystick is in the middle position before starting.
3. Turn on the drone first, then the remote control. Turn off the remote control first, then the drone after flight. Incorrect power sequencing may lead to loss of control.
4. Ensure the battery, motors, etc., are correctly installed.
5. Improper operation can cause crashes, potentially damaging motors and rendering the drone unflyable. Contact a local retailer for replacement parts.

Flight Steps

1. Frequency Pairing

When the drone is turned on, its fuselage light flashes rapidly. When the light flashes slowly, frequency pairing is entered. The drone must be placed on a surface. Turn on the remote control; its power indicator lights up and flashes rapidly. Pull the left joystick down to the lowest position and release it. The remote control's power indicator will turn solid, and the remote will beep, indicating successful pairing.

2. Take Off

After successful calibration, press the button for automatic takeoff. The drone will remain at an altitude of approximately 1.2 meters.

3. Landing

Press the button to land the drone automatically. Do not touch the left joystick while landing, or it may not work.

4. Emergency Landing

If the drone is about to hit a person or obstacle, press and hold the takeoff/landing/emergency stop button for more than 1 second. The propellers will stop, and the drone will fall immediately. Tip: Use only in emergency situations.

5. Calibration

(Used for flight abnormalities) After successful frequency pairing, push the right joystick as shown in the diagram. Release it when the drone's front body indicator light flashes 3 times and turns solid. Tip: Crashes can cause connection issues. Try to repair and recalibrate on a horizontal surface.

6. Unlocking / Locking the Motor

Unlock the motor: Move the left and right joysticks inward 45 degrees simultaneously.

Lock the motor: Move the left and right joysticks inward 45 degrees simultaneously for an emergency stop.

Left / Right Tilts Fine-tuning: If the drone tilts left, press the fine-tuning button and push the right joystick right. Otherwise, push left.

Functions Mode

1. Altitude Hold Mode

The intelligent flight control system calculates the hovering position, making it easier for beginners to control. Note: This function may not work if propellers or motors are damaged, or due to unstable atmospheric pressure or unsuitable weather.

2. High / Medium / Low Speed Mode Switch

• Low Speed Mode (Mode 1): For beginners in calm, breeze-free weather.
• Medium Speed Mode (Mode 2): For hobbyists with or without a breeze.
• High Speed Mode (Mode 3): For professionals in most outdoor wind conditions.

Note: The default setting is Medium Speed.

3. Headless Mode

The default setting is Non-headless Mode. In headless mode, users can operate the drone without worrying about orientation (left is always left, right is always right). This mode is designed for beginners, users flying at far distances, or those with difficulty identifying drone orientation. Activate before takeoff or in flight. Ensure the drone's direction aligns with you; do not change the remote control's direction. Keep the drone in front of you.

❗ Warning: Before entering this mode, the drone must be in front of your remote control, otherwise it may lose control or fly away.

Activation: Press the headless mode button. The drone's rear LED will flash 3 times and stop for 1 second. To exit, press the button again; the rear LED will turn solid.

Alarms
