PRE-FLIGHT PREPARATION

1. FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT

Indoor: Spacious areas away from barriers, crowds, or pets are preferred.

Outdoor: Sunny, windless, and breezy weather are preferred.

Please keep the drone in sight during the flight and keep it away from barriers, high-tension cables, trees, and people.

Do not fly in extreme environments, such as extreme heat, coldness, strong wind, or heavy rain.

DRONE ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION

2. OPEN THE WINGS

OPENING STEPS:

1. Open the front arm (close to the camera).
2. Open the back arm. Fold the back arm first, and then the front arm when folding.

4. ASSEMBLING PROPELLERS

Align the blade with the blade hole (the identification of the arm should be consistent with that of the blade) and tighten the screws clockwise. Adapters are purchased separately. The replacement of damaged blades should also be identified according to AB blades.

5. BATTERY CHARGING FOR DRONE

Remove the lithium battery from the bottom of the drone.

[Image showing battery removal]

Connect the USB charging cable with the charging interface of the lithium battery. Adapters are purchased separately.

Notes:

Before using the drone, the battery needs to be fully charged. The LED light is on when charging, and the red light turns off when full charging completes. Charging time is about 60 minutes.

BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS

• There is a certain risk when using a lithium battery. It may cause fire, body injury, or property loss. Users must be aware of the risks and take full responsibility for using the battery improperly.
• If battery leakage occurs, please avoid contacting your eyes or skin with electrolyte. Once it happens, please wash your eyes with clean water and seek medical care immediately.
• Please remove the plug immediately if you sense any peculiar smell, noise, or smog.

Battery Charging

• Please use the charger from the original factory to ensure 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.
• 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 with daily rubbish. Please familiarize yourself with the local garbage disposal method and dispose of it according to the special requirement.

MOBILE PHONE INSTALLATION

1. Open the mobile phone bracket on the remote control.
2. Install the mobile phone on the mobile phone bracket.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Open the remote control battery cover

[Image showing how to open the remote control battery cover]

2. Remote control battery installation

As shown in the figure, identify the positive and negative terminals and install the battery correctly. Batteries need to be purchased separately.

[Image showing battery installation in the remote control]

Notes:

1. When installing a battery, it is necessary to identify the positive and negative poles of the battery, and do not install the battery upside down.
2. Please do not mix old and new batteries together.
3. Please do not mix different types of batteries together.

FREQUENCY ALIGNMENT

1. Turn on the drone and place it on a level surface; the indicator light of the transmitter and the LED of the drone will flash.
2. Push the throttle joystick to the highest point, then push it back to the lowest point. When you hear two beeps, the indicator light of the transmitter and the LED of the drone become normally on, indicating the signal connection is completed.

TRANSMITTER CALIBRATION

If the aircraft cannot rise vertically after taking off, it can be corrected by pulling the left and right joysticks into an outer eight at the same time with a sound of 'Di'. The indicator light will flash quickly to a long-on state, and the calibration is completed. When executing the correction command, the aircraft must be placed in a smooth state parallel to the horizontal line; otherwise, the correction effect will be affected. The drone needs to be calibrated before take-off.

START YOUR FLIGHT

1. One-key Ascend/One-key landing

Press the button for one-key takeoff; the aircraft's wind blades rotate, and it will automatically fly to a height of about 1.5 meters. Press the button for one-key landing, and it will automatically land on the ground.

[Images showing one-key ascend and landing buttons on the remote]

2. Basic Flight

Use the left joystick to control the flight altitude and turn left/right. Use the right joystick to control the forward, backward, left, and right side flight directions.

Left joystick

• Ascent
• Descent

Right joystick

• Forward
• Backward
• Turn left
• Turn right
• Left side flight
• Right side flight

[Diagrams illustrating basic flight controls with joysticks]

FLIPS & ROLLS

When the drone is reaching more than 3 meters high, click the "360° flips and rolls" button and move the right joystick in a certain direction; the drone will rotate in that direction.

HEADLESS MODE

The drone defaults to normal mode with the indicator light steady on. When the headless mode button on the remote control is pressed, the remote control emits a sound of 'Di' to indicate that it has entered headless mode. It needs to face the drone to open the headless mode. Press the button again with a long sound of 'Di' to exit headless mode. It does not need to identify the nose direction of the drone; it only controls the aircraft according to the direction of the remote control.

SPEED SWITCH

Press the speed switch button of the remote control to change the speed of the aircraft. When switched to low gear, the remote control delivers one sound of 'Di'. When switching to medium speed, the remote control emits two sounds of 'Di'. When switching to high gear, the remote control beeps three times. Each time the remote control is turned off and the aircraft is restarted, the aircraft's gear will automatically return to low gear.

HOVER

When you release the left joystick (throttle) after the ascent/descent action, the drone will hover at a certain height.

[Diagram showing drone hovering]

OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE MODE

Press the button to start the obstacle avoidance mode and hover when encountering obstacles, avoiding obstacles on three sides. Press the button again to close the obstacle avoidance mode.

[Diagram illustrating obstacle avoidance]

It is recommended to turn on the obstacle avoidance function in an indoor flight environment with a length and width of 6x6 meters or more. When the UAV turns on the obstacle avoidance mode, the speed will slow down, and the fast gear cannot be turned on. Therefore, it is recommended to fly indoors when the obstacle avoidance mode is turned on.

FINE-TUNING FUNCTION

When the aircraft spins in the air or tilts in different directions, you can use fine-tuning to correct the action. Press the fine-tuning button and hear a beep, then move the joystick in the opposite direction to adjust and calibrate until the aircraft does not deviate. If there is no operation for 5-6 seconds after entering fine-tuning, the fine-tuning function will automatically exit.

• ① Forward/Backward Fine-tuning
• ② Left/Right Side Fly Fine-tuning

[Diagrams showing fine-tuning controls]

Notes:

When the drone is within 30 cm from the ground, it will be affected by the blade vortex made by itself and become unstable. This is "ground effect". The lower the drone is, the greater the effect will be.
