HOW TO CONTROL YOUR HOVER STAR™
Your HOVER STAR is equipped with motion sensors and air pressure sensors which read your hand
motions to determine its direction for flight.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
If your HOVER STAR 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 HOVER STAR in the power-off position. Next, hold the HOVER STAR upside down
(See diagram J).
b) Quickly depress and release the power button 2 times and the lights on the body should begin to
rapidly flash red and green, this is how you know that you are in “Calibration Mode”. (See diagram K).
c) While the lights are flashing turn the HOVER STAR back over right side up and set it on flat level
surface (See diagram L).
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!
DO DON’ T FLY OVER HEAD
DO DON’T
DO DON’T
TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR™ FLY HORIZONTALLY
ACROSS THE ROOM:
Hold your hand up vertically palm side facing the HOVER
STAR like your going to push it away, but don’t actually
touch it. The HOVER STAR will begin to move in the
opposite direction of your hand (See Diagram H).
TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR™ GO UP:
There are 2 ways to make your HOVER STAR ascend:
1) Place one hand palm side up directly underneath the
bottom of the HOVER STAR and slowly move your hand
straight up, HOVER STAR 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 HOVER STAR about two inches from the body so the
HOVER STAR is in the center space between your two hands.
The drone will quickly ascend! (See Diagram G)
TO MAKE YOUR HOVER STAR™ MOVE FASTER AND FURTHER.
Once you have gotten the hang of controlling the direction of your
HOVER STAR simply move your hand along outside of the HOVER
STAR as it begins to fly away, literally follow the HOVER STAR with
your hand. The longer and faster you move your hand behind the
HOVER STAR the further and faster it will fly (See diagram I)
Remember to follow behind it, not touch it.
Hold away from body
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: KEEP YOUR HOVER STAR™ AWAY FROM FACE AND EYES.
