Please be aware of your surroundings when operating your AERIUS.
As this device can reach high speeds, it is recommended to fly in open areas.
- DO NOT FLY NEAR PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR PROPERTY
- Adult supervision is recommended for users under 18
- Indoor flight should have plenty of open space
- Damage to property or injury to people is a risk, fly safely.
- Always keep the AERIUS in your line of sight
- If device travels too far away from user it may lose control
- When flying outdoors please do not operate in med-high wind
- Always make sure your AERIUS is fully charged before flight
- Replace remote control batteries before they become too weak
- Avoid colliding with people, property or animals
Releasing throttle
at high altitude may
result in injury or
damage to device,
people or property.
Always keep device at
a safe distance from
the ground and other
objects.
Please DO NOT fly
in areas with many
obstacles or around
objects that can be
easily damaged.

CHARGING DRONE
- Connect charging cable to the drone FIRST, then plug the USB side in.
- It is recommended to charge with a computer USB port, not a wall adapter.
- The red light will be ON while charging and OFF when fully charged.
- Promptly remove the cable from both the USB and drone upon full charge.
- DO NOT LEAVE drone unattended while charging.
GETTING STARTED
1. Place the AERIUS on a flat LEVEL surface and turn power on
2. Align joysticks as shown in (Figure 1), Left stick down, right stick center
3. Turn the controller on by pressing the power button on the back side
4. Power Indicator light will begin flashing, indicating it is ready to pair
5. Move left joystick FULLY UP (Figure 2) then FULLY DOWN (Figure 3)
6. Lights on the AERIUS will remain solid indicating successful pairing
7. Your AERIUS and Controller are now paired and ready for flight!

The throttle on the AERIUS will take some practice to achieve a good hover.
We recommend using your thumb and index finger to make small adjustments
to the throttle stick; you can progress to just your thumb with experience.
The AERIUS will start out in LOW Speed, please start here to get acquainted.
Moving Left Stick Up/Down controls the Rise/Fall of the AERIUS
Moving Left Stick Left/Right controls the Yaw (Rotation) to adjust orientation
Moving Right Stick Up/Down controls Forward and Reverse Flight Direction
Moving Right Stick Left/Right controls Left and Right Flight Direction
Left Flight Right Flight
Left Rotation Right Rotation
Rise
Fall
Forward Flight
Reverse Flight

When you first take off you should attempt to level the AERIUS into a hover.
Begin with drone in front of you with the bow (front) of the drone facing forward.
Take off and begin to maintain a steady height around 3 feet off the ground.
If the AERIUS drifts in any one direction you can use the Trimmer Tabs to
make precision adjustments to the motors in order to keep the drone centered.
For Example: If the AERIUS drifts toward you (reverse) press Trimmer UP
one click at a time until it stays steady, if it drifts away (forward) press DOWN
Each click is one adjustment, you can click in the opposite direction until you
hear a LONG BEEP, that indicates you are back at the center setting.
The same is true if it drifts Right, you would press Trimmer LEFT and if it
drifts Left, you would adjust Trimmer RIGHT until it stays centered.
This is important if you want to have precision flight with takeoff and landing.
If you just want to fly around and have fun, it may not matter if it drifts a little.

SPEED SETTINGS
There are 3 unique settings (2 Speeds and 1 Headless Flight Mode) on
the AERIUS. To select each setting outlined below, press LEFT stick IN
Low Speed:
This is the Default speed every time you power up, indicated by a
single beep. Low speed is designed for practicing take-off, trimming,
rotation and landing.
High Speed:
Indicated by two beeps. High speed provides full flight function,
designed to be stable, precise and fun!
Indicated by three beeps. Headless mode prevents loss of orientation
due to wind or rotation, this is perfect for such a small drone.
Place AERIUS directly in front of you, with nose facing forward, press
LEFT Stick IN until it beeps 3 times, you are now locked on directions.
Forward will always move away from you, Reverse towards you and
Left and Right will always be to your left and right regardless of which
way the AERIUS drone faces after flight begins (due to wind, rotation).
FLIPS AND ROLLS
The AERIUS is pre-programmed to perform flips and rolls
with ease, simply press the RIGHT stick IN to enter “Trick Mode”
Once in “Trick Mode” - indicated by beeping, simply push the Right Stick
fully in the direction you want to flip or roll! (SEE NEXT PAGE)

TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event you have issues with your AERIUS please check here:
Drone won’t lift off of ground:
1. Check the orientation of your blades to match image below
2. Make sure your drone and remote batteries are fully charged
3. Check that blades are not bent or damaged, replace as needed
