Altitude Hold Mode
Altitude hold mode indicates that the drone maintains a
consistent altitude while allowing roll, pitch, and yaw
to be controlled normally. It makes easier to control
the drone for beginner and more stable for aerial
photography.
Push the Left lever up (down) to fly the drone at a
certain altitude and then release the lever. The lever will
go back to the center position (Altitude Hold Center)
as Picture 10 shown. And the drone will keep flying at
current altitude. Repeat above steps if you want to
change the drone altitude (Default mode).

High / Medium/Low Speed Mode Switch
Press down this button,then it will sound “ di”, it means
low speed mode “L”; when it sounds “ di.di”,means
medium speed “M”; and sounds “ di.di.di” means
high speed mode “H”.
Heading Hold Mode
* Drones generally have a front and rear indicated by
LED lights or colored propellers. By default, users are
required to tell the front and the rear of the drone when
flying. Under heading hold mode, users can operate the
drone without worrying about the orientation (left is left
and right is right all the time, regardless of where your
drone is pointing at).
Heading Hold Mode is designed for beginners and users
who fly the drone in daylight or at a far distance.
When the drone is in heading hold mode, push the Right
lever forward / backward / left / right, and the drone will
fly forward / backward / left / right accordingly.
High/Medium/Low
Speed Mode Switch

1. Low Speed Mode is suitable for beginner. Medium speed
Mode(Mode 2)
2. Medium Speed Mode is suitable for skillful pilots to play
in the gentle breeze.
High Speed Mode(Mode 3)
3. High Speed Mode is suitable for expert to
experience aerial stunt in outdoor.
