Battery Charging and Installation

Aircraft Battery Charging

To charge the drone battery:

1. Remove Battery: Press the top of the battery and pull it backward to remove it from the aircraft. (Refer to Figure 1)
2. Connect Charger: Plug the special charging cable into a power source. (Refer to Figure 2)
3. Connect Battery: Connect the other end of the charging cable to the drone battery. The charging interface connects to a USB port on a computer or power adapter. The red indicator light stays on during charging and turns off when the battery is fully charged. Charging time is approximately 90 minutes.

Note: Use only the original, factory-supplied special charging cable. Do not use defective or other brands of charging cables.

Remote Control Battery Installation

(Batteries must be purchased separately)

1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert 4 AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.

Note: Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.

Mobile Installation

1. Open the mobile phone holder on the remote control.
2. Install the mobile phone in the holder.

Safe Flight Guidelines

It is recommended to fly under the following conditions:

• Fly in Wide Areas: Ensure ample open space.
• Stronger GPS Signal: Fly in areas with good satellite reception.
• Maintain Visual Line of Sight: Keep the aircraft within sight at all times.
• Fly within 100 meters: Maintain a safe distance from the operator.

It is recommended to avoid flying over or near crowds, trees, high-voltage lines, buildings, airports, or bodies of water, as well as high-power or base stations, as these can interfere with the aircraft's compass.

It is strictly prohibited to use this product in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, or with wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s (approximately 22 mph).

It is forbidden to fly in areas where flying is not permitted.

Keep clear of rotating propellers and motors. Understanding these safety guidelines is crucial for safe flight; please read them carefully before flying.

Pre-flight Preparation

Frequency Pairing

1. Install the aircraft battery and press and hold the aircraft's power switch for more than 3 seconds. The aircraft will emit a sound, and the front and rear indicator lights will change from fast blinking to slow blinking.
2. Turn on the remote control power switch. You will hear two "Di" sounds. The remote control indicator light will be solid. The aircraft's front and rear indicator lights will change from slow blinking to solid, indicating successful pairing.

Geomagnetic Calibration

Press a button briefly to initiate geomagnetic calibration. The remote control will emit two "Di" sounds, and the aircraft's front and rear indicator lights will blink regularly.

1. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it clockwise three times. The remote control will emit a "drip" sound. Simultaneously, the green light at the front of the aircraft and the red light at the rear will blink slowly, indicating successful leveling calibration.
2. After horizontal calibration is successful, lift the aircraft vertically and rotate it clockwise three times. The remote control will emit two "drip drip" sounds. The green light at the front of the aircraft will be solid, and the red light at the rear will blink, indicating successful vertical calibration.

Gyroscope Calibration

Briefly press a button to calibrate the gyroscope. The remote control will emit a "Di" sound. The aircraft's front and rear lights will change from fast blinking to solid front lights. Simultaneously, the remote control will emit a "Di" sound, indicating successful gyroscope calibration.

Outdoor Start

GPS Signal Search: After completing the above steps, the aircraft will automatically search for GPS signals. When at least 7 satellites are acquired, the rear light will be solid, and the remote control will emit a "Di" sound, indicating the end of the search.

Unlock: Perform the "Outer Eight" maneuver with the remote control (move both joysticks outwards and down). The aircraft's motors will begin to spin. This indicates successful unlocking, and you can fly normally.

Note: If the aircraft's front and rear lights flicker back and forth, it means the current location is subject to signal interference. You need to change location. It is recommended to fly in open spaces like rooftops, plazas, riverbanks, or the seaside.

Indoor Start

After completing the above steps, press and hold the "GPS Switch" button on the remote control to turn off the GPS function. "OFF" will appear on the remote control display, indicating the drone is now in indoor mode.

Briefly press the "Calibrate Gyroscope" button and wait for calibration to complete. Then, move the left joystick down-left and the right joystick down-right by approximately 45 degrees. If all four drone motors start synchronously, it indicates the drone has been successfully unlocked.

Landing

To land the drone, gently pull the throttle joystick downwards. The drone will descend.

Function Introduction

Joystick Introduction

1. Left Joystick (Throttle): Controls altitude (up/down) and yaw (left/right rotation).
   • Up: Ascend
   • Down: Descend
   • Left: Yaw Left
   • Right: Yaw Right
2. Right (Direction) Joystick: Controls forward, backward, and lateral flight direction.
   • Forward: Fly Forward
   • Backward: Fly Backward
   • Left: Fly Left
   • Right: Fly Right

GPS Fixation

• After successful frequency pairing, in an open and unobstructed environment, it takes 1-2 minutes for the remote control to emit a "DiDi" sound and the aircraft's front and rear lights to illuminate, indicating successful positioning.
• If the aircraft's front and rear lights flicker back and forth, it signifies signal interference at the current location. Relocate to an open area such as a rooftop, plaza, riverbank, or seaside.
• Press and hold the "GPS Switch" button to disable the GPS function. The GPS display will show "OFF", indicating you are in Indoor Mode.

One-Click Return

There are two scenarios for the One-Click Return function:

• Active Return: Pressing the return button triggers "Di" and "Di" alarms from the remote control, and the aircraft begins to return to the takeoff point for landing. After the return is complete, the remote control alarm will automatically clear after 10 seconds.
• Automatic Return:
  • When the aircraft detects the first stage of low voltage, the front and rear lights will blink slowly. The aircraft will automatically return to the takeoff point within a radius of 20 meters and land at an altitude of approximately 15 meters. It can fly for about 1-2 minutes.
  • When the second stage of low voltage is detected and the aircraft is below 10 meters, it will automatically ascend to 10-15 meters, return to the takeoff point, and land automatically, ceasing flight.

Aircraft Fixed Position (GPS Lock)

When GPS is locked, the aircraft maintains a stable position, allowing for precise hovering and flight control.

Taking Photos and Videos

• Press and hold the photo button on the remote control or click the "Take Photo" icon on the software interface to capture a photo.
• Press and hold the video button on the remote control or click the "Record" icon on the software interface to record a video.

Attention: When the aircraft is connected to a mobile phone, photo and video content will be saved to the mobile phone.

Speed Switching

There are 3 speed gears available:

• Press the speed button on the remote control briefly to switch flight speeds:
  • "Drop" (one tone): Slow gear.
  • "Drop" "Drop" (two tones): Medium gear.
  • "Drop Drop" "Drop" "Drop" (three tones): Fast gear.

The default setting is slow speed.

Lighting Introduction

Indicator lights provide operational status:

• Front Light (Green): Indicates the front of the aircraft.
• Rear Light (Red): Indicates the rear of the aircraft.

Operation Indicator: Lights change status (blinking/solid) to indicate pairing, GPS lock, calibration, etc.
