STARRIDERS™ to accept the charge.
3. When charging begins, the indicator lights on the STARRIDERS™ will light red to indicate that the battery is charging.
When the battery is fully charged the indicator lights will turn a solid green color.
4. The charging time may vary depending on the remaining percentage of charge the battery had left in it from
previous use. The average charging time is approximately 40-50 minutes. Once fully charged the STARRIDERS™
operates for approximately 5-7 minutes depending on the intensity of play.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: During play, when the STARRIDERS™'s batteries begin to run low, the on-board
indicator lights will change to a solid RED color and the Starriders Pilot will start flashing. This indicates that you

3. Make sure your STARRIDERS™ is fully charged.
1. Suggested to play indoors first to get the hang of it!
When using the STARRIDERS™ indoors, first find a
room in your house with high ceilings and a large
open space where you have room to walk around. You
may need to move some furniture.
2. Make sure all external sources of wind like ceiling
fans, floor fans or opened windows are turned off and
closed. Central Air conditioning should be okay but it is
a good idea to stay away from strong drafty areas.
4. Turn on the STARRIDERS™ to short press the ON/OFF
Button. The LED lights on the STARRIDERS™ will turn on
and start flashing, set it on flat level surface the green
LED light become solid (see diagram D).

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR STARRIDERS™
Your STARRIDERS™ is equipped with motion sensors and air pressure sensors which read your
hand motions to determine its direction for flight.
5. Make sure you have properly synced The STARRIDERS™.
• Press the “PUSH” button for 3 seconds, your STARRIDERS™
will automatically take off.
• To stop or land the STARRIDERS™ just press the “PUSH”
button for 3 seconds again and the STAR RIDERS™ will
descend and land automatically (see diagram D).
7. When done playing make sure to turn the power off by
depressing the power button for 3 seconds (see power
button diagram on pg. 3 ) All the lights will turn off.
TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ FLY HORIZONTALLY
ACROSS THE ROOM:
Hold your hand up vertically palm side facing the
STARRIDERS™ like your going to push it away, but don’t
actually touch it. The STARRIDERS™ will begin to move
in the opposite direction of your hand (See Diagram H).
TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ GO UP:
There are 2 ways to make your STARRIDERS™ ascend:
1) Place one hand palm side up directly underneath the
bottom of the STARRIDERS™ and slowly move your hand
straight up, STARRIDERS™ will rise upward (See Diagram F)
2) The second way which will create a faster response, is to
hold both your hands out simultaneously on both sides of the
STARRIDERS™ about two inches from the body so the
STARRIDERS™ is in the center space between your two
hands. The drone will quickly ascend! (See Diagram G)
TO MAKE YOUR STARRIDERS™ MOVE FASTER AND FURTHER.
Once you have gotten the hang of controlling the direction of your
STARRIDERS™ simply move your hand along outside of the
STARRIDERS™ as it begins to fly away, literally follow the
STARRIDERS™ with your hand. The longer and faster you move your
hand behind the STARRIDERS™ the further and faster it will fly (See
diagram I) Remember to follow behind it, not touch it.
6. Another method to stop the STARRIDERS™ quickly
capture the STARRIDERS™ with your hand and turn it
upside down (see diagram E) the blades will stop
spinning.

HOW TO DO 360˚ STUNT ROLLS! (USING HAND GESTURE)
The STARRIDERS™ allows you to command 360˚ stunt rolls with a special hand movement! Your
STARRIDERS™ has the ability to do a 360˚ roll in all 4 directions.
• First pass your open palm face down across the top of your STARRIDERS™ from one side to the other
like doing a horizontal karate chop in the air, you are crossing an invisible sensor
• Complete the move by rounding the corner and moving your hand down the side. The fluid
combination of going across the top and down the side will activate the 360˚roll.
NOTE the STARRIDERS™ will do somersaults in the direction of the side where your hand completed the
movement (SEE DIAGRAM K1, K2, K3).
LIGHT & MUSIC SWITCHING OF STARRIDER™
STARRIDERS™ also includes 5 different sound effects, plus exciting animated LED lighting effects. It
even has an on-board Starriders Pilot that glows!
By simply pressing the 'Light & Sound Switching' button on the remote controller, you can easily
switch between music and lighting modes for your STARRIDERS™. Each musical beat corresponds to
a unique lighting mode, providing a fun and dynamic experience.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
If your STARRIDERS™ drifts uncontrollably or does not respond correctly to the hand movements as
explained above you may need to recalibrate the internal gyro sensor.
HOW TO RECALIBRATE THE GYRO:
a) First start with the STARRIDERS™ in the power-on position. Next, hold the STARRIDERS™ upside down
(See diagram M).
b) Quickly depress and release the power button 2 times and the lights on the body should begin to
rapidly flash blue and green, this is how you know that you are in “Calibration Mode”. (See diagram N).
c) While the lights are flashing turn the STARRIDERS™ back over right side up and set it on flat level
surface (See diagram O).
d) When the lights stop flashing and you have solid green light on the body, you have successfully
completed the calibration process and you are ready to fly!
