- Please remove the plug immediately if you sense any peculiar smell, noise, or smog.
- Please use the charger from the original factory to ensure your safe usage.
- Do not charge a dilatant or outworn battery.
- Do not overcharge the battery. Please unplug the charger once fully charged.
- Do not charge the battery next to inflammables, such as carpet, timber floor, or wood furniture, or on the surface of electro-conductive objects. Please always keep an eye on the battery when charging.
- Do not charge a battery that has not cooled down yet.
- The charging temperature should be between 0°C to 40°C.
Battery Recycling: Do not dispose of the battery as daily rubbish. Please familiarize yourself with the local garbage disposal method and dispose of it according to the special requirement.
Notes: LED lights on when charging, LED lights off when finish charging. Charging time is about 60 minutes.
KNOW THE REMOTE CONTROL
Different from an ordinary remote control, this is a gravity sensing controller, which enables you to hold it in one hand and tilt it for drone direction control. For novice users trying the gravity controller for the first time, please read the user manual and operate it carefully.
Remote Control Buttons:
- High/Low speed switch
- Joystick (throttle)
- Headless mode
- Calibration (long press for 2 seconds)
- Emergency stop
- Light control
- Power switch
1. Battery Installation of Controller
- Opening Battery Cover: The battery box is located at the controller bottom. Open the battery cover by sliding the upper cover forward and the lower cover backward hard.
- Loading Batteries: Open the cover of the battery compartment, insert two AAA batteries (not included).
Notes: 1. Ensure the polarity symbols on the batteries match the symbols inside the battery compartment. 2. Do not mix new and old batteries. 3. Do not mix different types of batteries.
2. Pairing Remote Control with Drone
- Turn on the power of the drone and put the drone on plain ground. Check whether the indicator lights of the remote control and LED lights of the drone flash.
- Push the joystick (throttle) to the top and then pull back to the bottom. After the sounds of 'Di Di', the indicator lights on the remote control and LED lights of the drone will turn to constant lights, which means the pairing completes.
3. Calibration of Remote Control
Calibrate the drone when it cannot vertically ascend. Press the "Calibration" button, and the indicator light of the drone starts flashing. Then release all the buttons until the flashing of the drone's indicator light turns to constant light. Thus, the calibration completes. Ensure the whole process of calibration is operated under horizontal and steady circumstances.
FLY WITH REMOTE CONTROL
1. One-Key Start
Before flying, hold the controller in a horizontal position. Press the "Calibration" button for routine calibration. Press the "One-key Start" button, push the joystick forward lightly to fly the drone.
Operating Precautions For Gravity Sensing Remote Control: Hold the controller in a horizontal position without any tilt before starting your flight. Keep the drone at least 3 meters away from you for the first time you try the gravity sensing controller. When you hold the controller upwards and it faces you right ahead, the drone will fly backward towards you. Please operate it carefully in this state to avoid being hit by the drone and/or other accidents.
2. Joystick Control
Use the joystick to control the flight altitude and left/right turn.
- Ascend
- Descend
- Turn Left
- Turn Right
3. Gravity Sensing Control
Tilt the controller to control the drone flying forward/backward or left/right sideward.
- Forward
- Backward
- Left Sideward
- Right Sideward
4. Hover
When you release the joystick (throttle) after the ascent/descent action, the drone will hover at a certain height.
Emergency Stop: In case of emergency, press the "Stop" button immediately.
KNOW YOUR REMOTE CONTROL APP
1. WIFI Connection
Use your phone to scan the QR code, download, and install the control software: "JJRC". Android, Android (Google Play), and iOS are all supported.
Turn on the drone, and the lights will flash. Turn on your mobile phone to connect to WIFI: "JJRC-xxxxxxxxxx", as shown in the figure.
2. APP Interface Instruction
3. Basic Flight
Use the left joystick to control the flight altitude and turn left/right, and the right joystick to control the forward, backward, left, and right side flight directions.
- Left Joystick: Ascent, Descent, Turn Left, Turn Right
- Right Joystick: Forward, Backward, Left Side Flight, Right Side Flight
4. Take Photos/Videos
In the Altitude Hold mode, you can control the drone to turn the camera towards yourself, then click the camera button on the screen to take photos/videos.
5. Gravity Sensor Control
Click to enter Gravity Sensor Control. Put your right-hand thumb on the right joystick and move the phone towards any direction for remote control.
6. Fine-Tuning
If the drone rotates or yaws, click "Fine-Tuning" to the reverse direction of yawing until the yaw is adjusted and the drone stays oriented to the control.
7. One-Key Reset
When deviating from the course due to a crash, please control the drone back to a horizontal plane and click "One-key Reset" for gyro calibration and take-off again.
Notes: Attention: When the drone is within 30cm from the ground, it will be affected by the blade vortex made by itself and become unstable. This is "ground effect". The lighter the drone is, the greater the effect will be.
8. Flight Planning
When the drone takes off, click the "Flight Planning" button to activate the flight path mode. Draw a path in the blank, and the drone would perform the flight path at the altitude as you pilot and fly on its own.
9. Beauty Mode
The built-in beauty mode on the camera can automatically beautify images to deliver improved and stunning images with outstanding qualities.
