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.

●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.

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:

When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; turn the left control
stick to the left, the aircraft will
turn left.
When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; turn the left control
stick to the right, the aircraft
will turn right.
When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; turn the right control
stick to the right, the aircraft
will fly rightward.
When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; turn the right control
stick to the left, the aircraft
will fly leftward.
When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; push down the right
control stick, the aircraft will
fly backward.
When you take off,make sure
that your front is the aircraft's
front; push up the right control
stick, the aircraft will fly forward.
Protection frame and propeller installation
2.Affix the protection frame
by screwing clockwise.
3.Fasten the propeller by
turning the screws
clockwise.
1.There are 3 interfaces on
each motor cabinet. Insert
the frame plugs into the
interfaces.
One key return:
When the drone is flying in headless mode, if the one key return button, the drone will fly towards the user.
If the one key return button is pressed again or the forward /backward control stick used, the drone will exit
the one key return function.
Remarks:
●Drone calibration is needed when the drone is about to fly in the headless mode. When verifying the flight
direction, the drone ought to positioned with its nose pointing straight ahead and the tail pointing towards
user. The must always face the direction in which the drone nose is pointing .
●When the drone is flying in headless mode, if the flight direction is inconsistent with the user’s operational
command or there are directional deviations, please stop flying and re-calibrate the drone immediately.
