Major parts of the drone

Turn off the aircraft, open the battery door ,unplug the battery cable from the

power wire plug and take out the battery. Insert the USB charger into the USB

interface of the computer or other USB outlet; connect the battery cable with

the USB wire plug, and charging is proceeding with indicator light being red.

Once the battery is full charged, the indicator light of the USB will be off.Full

charging takes about 90 minutes.

How to change new battery for the drone

Note: Please connect the power plug as per the indicated positive and negative polarity.

●Need adult supervision when this aircraft is being played by children.

●Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.

●Insert batteries according to the correct polarity.

●Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be charged; the transmitter requires 4 X AA batteries for operation.

●Do not mix old and new batteries.

●Do not mix alkaline,standard(carbon-zinc),or rechargeable(nickel-cadmium) batteries.

●Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged;

●Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision;

●Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy;

●The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

●The charing line to be used with the product should be regularly examined for potential hazard,such

as damage to the cable or cord, plug,enclosure of other parts and that in the event of such damage,

the product must not be used until that damage had been properly removed.

●To ensure steady flight, please set the value of the Trimmer to the midpoint.

●To avoid any misunderstanding, we have defined the orientation of the drone as follows: The nose of the

drone is defined as the section of the drone facing away from the player and the tail facing the player.

The copter nose direction is termed as the “forward” direction, the tail direction is termed as the “

backward”direction. All the directions that will be mentioned hereafter are subject to the definitions

above.

Preparation for flight

● Make sure that the battery (at the bottom of the drone) is properly

installed and connected with the power wire of drone. The drone

should be OFF.

● Power on the drone; the fuselage light will keep flashing quickly,

the gyro of the drone will be in signal detecting mode.

Lay the drone on a flat surface, and about 4 seconds

later, the fuselage light will stop blinking and

stay “ON”. This means that the signal connection

process has finished and the drone is ready for flight.

● Push up the throttle stick slowly and the drone takes off for flight.

The drone

●Recheck the playground; be sure that it is free from crowd, animals

and other barrier.

●Turn on the remote controller and the

power indicator light flashes rapidly and

sends out connection signal to the drone.

●Slide the throttle control stick up to the top;

then, return the throttle control stick to the

bottom; It will take about 10 seconds to

finish the signal connection process.

Once the signal connection is completed,

the power light will stay "on" without

blinking and the remote controller is

set for flight.

The remote control

●

The blue lights are at the front of the drone; the orange lights are at the back of the drone.

When the drone is on, checking the rotation direction of the rotor blades;the front-left and right-back rotor

blades should be rotating in clockwise direction; the right-front and left-back rotor blades should be

rotating in counter-clockwise direction.

If the drone keeps flying to one side, it can be corrected by adjusting the trimmer on the remote control.

Remarks:

Signal connection between the drone and the remote control is required for the first use.

Set the connection one by one to avoid signal connection error.

To better protect the battery, please unplug the battery cable from the power wire after use.

Enter headless mode:

When the transmitter signal connection is completed, press the function button at the top left corner for

2 secs, and a“beep beep” sound will follow. After which the lights of the drone will come on and then

start flashing, this indicates that the drone has entered headless mode.

Headless aircraft:

Exit headless mode:

When the drone is in headless mode, press the function button at the top left corner for 2 secs, and a

“beep beep beep”sound will follow. The lights of the drone will be turned on followed by flashing until

the blinking comes to a halt. This indicates that the drone has exited the headless mode.

When the drone is in headless mode, drone calibration is needed. Position the drone in such a way that its

front is aligned similarly to your frontal position, turn both of the two control sticks to the lower right corner

for about 2 seconds, the drone’s indicator light will flash slowly until it starts flashing quickly, that is, the

drone calibration is finished.

Model calibration in headless mode：

When verifying the flight direction of the drone, set the drone’s nose to point away from the player and its

tail pointing towards the player. At this moment, the drone’s nose is pointing forward; this direction will

always be considered to be the“forward”direction. Therefore, when the forward command is sent from the

remote control, regardless of whichever direction the drone’s nose is pointing,the drone body will go

forward. Flight direction control in headless mode: When the drone is flying in headless mode, player

should keep facing the forward direction. Otherwise,the model will be out of control. The drone control

is illustrated below:
