After pairing the drone with the remote control, place the drone on a flat surface and hold the “left joystick” and "right joystick” towards the buttom center until the LED lights flashes, as shown in Image 3. After the calibration is completed, the LED lights will return to normal. (When the drone is offset in any direction and trimming cannot be adjusted, this calibration can be used for repairing.)

Automatic hovering system

This drone adopts "barometer" module to achieve fixed height and hovering; use the left joystick (accelerator) to control the drone's altitude.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ascend / Descend

Push the left lever (accelerator) up and down, The drone will ascends and descends accordingly.

Right turn / Left turn

Push the left lever (accelerator) leftward and rightward, the drone will turn left and turn right accordingly.

Forward / Backward

Push the right lever (swerving rudder) forward and backward, the drone will go forward and backward accordingly.

Leftward / Rightward

Push the right lever (swerving rudder) leftward and rightward, the drone will go leftward and rightward accordingly.

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS

Trimming is manual adjustment of the drone's flight angles. It should only be used when the drone is drifting instead of hovering in a secure space with no wind. Please follow these instructions in order to trim your drone:

• If the drone floats backward, press "⬆" to adjust.
• If the drone floats forwards, press "⬇" to adjust.
• If the drone floats leftward, press "←" to adjust.
• If the drone floats rightward, press "→" to adjust.

Repeat the steps above until the drone hovers in the same spot.

LITHIUM BATTERIES WARNINGS AND PROPER USAGE INFORMATION

• DO NOT LEAVE LITHIUM BATTERIES CHARGING UNATTENDAND. You should always remain close to the charging battery to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems should they occur.
• Only use the provided charger in order to charge the included battery. Failure to do so may cause fire, which may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Do not charge Lithium batteries inside the model/car/boat etc.
• Do not puncture the Lithium battery.
• Only charge in isolated charging area away from flammable materials and on non-conductive and non-flammable surface. Lithium batteries fires cannot be extinguished with water. If a fire occur, wither cover it with sand or better still salt. On no account use water to extinguish a fire as water acts as petrol for Lithium batteries.
• If at any time you see a part of the battery 'puff up' disconnect from the charger immediately and either cover it with sand, or place in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Manually check the temperature of your Lithium battery pack constantly during charging. Unlike other types of cells, Lithium cells should never get warm and should stay at the ambient temperature when being charged. If any of the individuals cell within a pack becomes warm/hot compared to the other cells, disconnect it immediately and either cover it in sand or place it in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Store Lithium batteries in a temperature between 5-27°c (40°-80°F) for best results. The lower the temperature the better.
• Always disconnect the battery from your device/car/boat etc. when not in use.
• Always check the batteries for physical or electrical damage before charging or discharging.
• Do not short wires of your Lithium batteries, this is very dangerous and can cause a fire or even explosion. If you accidentally short wires your Lithium battery. Either cover it in sand or place it in a non-conductive container and place it outside away from all flammable objects for at least 30 minutes.
• Do not ‘Top up' your Lithium batteries. Even if you charged them a year ago. Lithium loose less than 1% of their capacity per month just use them and recharge as normal.
• Do not charge cells that have been stored in cold conditions below 10°c/50°f, let them warm up for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• You risk an explosion if you attempt to charge batteries which has been used or stored under 0°c/32°f. Warm them first for at least 60 minutes above 10°c before charging.
• Do not store your Lithium batteries for extended periods of time (more than 1 hour) in a hot place as this may cause them to catch fire or even explode.
• Do not ingest contents of Lithium batteries; if you do accidentally swallow any content of Lithium batteries seek medical attention immediately.
• Keep all batteries out of reach of children.
