Charging the Battery
Battery Charging Procedure
The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. Before charging, be sure the
craft is powered OFF to avoid the risk of injury or damage.
Connect the charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or USB
power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the unit. Be sure to
correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur. Charge fully before
use for maximum performance and flight time. The charging time is approximately 60-80
minutes. The flying time is approximately 5-6 minutes.
While charging, the USB plug will display a red light.
When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF.

9
REMINDER: Do not
charge overnight. Do
not leave unattended
while charging.

10
Flying
Step 1
When the drone powers ON, it automatically enters Rotation Mode, indicated by a green
light. In this mode, the craft will spin around its axis as it flies. To fly in Non-Rotation Mode,
press the power button again after powering on. The indicator light will turn blue, and the
craft will fly without spinning.
It is necessary for the craft’s gyroscopes to calibrate before flying. Power ON the craft and
place it on a flat surface. The navigation lights will blink as the gyro sensors align. When the
lights turn solid, the craft is ready to fly. Lightly toss it in the air, and it will begin to fly.

11
Step 2
While the craft is in the air, it will spin in a circle and hover automatically. You can control it just
by “pushing” with your hand. The sensors on the drone will detect your hand, and it will move
in the opposite direction.

12
Flying
Remote
You can use the remote to make the drone take off and land. Be sure the drone is powered
on and calibrated (see Step 1), then press the button on the remote to take off.
Use the remote to land the drone automatically. Do not grab it out of the air, for risk of
injury or damage.

13
Gyroscope Calibration
Take the drone in your hand and shake it back and forth a few times to put it into Gyroscope
Calibration Mode. When the LED lights start to blink, the sensors are ready to be calibrated.
Place the drone on a flat level surface during the calibration period. When the LED lights
have turned solid, the calibration is complete.
Tips for Safe Operation
•It is recommended to only fly indoors. Do not fly this unit outside.
•Avoid areas with obstacles like ceiling fans, delicate furniture, etc.
•Try to avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn towards them if closer than
2-3 feet.
•If you get into trouble, use the remote to land the craft and power down.
•If anything obstructs the rotors, wait for them to stop spinning. Power off the craft and
safely clear the obstruction, then check for possible damage before flying again.

14
