Welcome to the Force1 Team, and thank you for your Force1 drone purchase. Please read this manual
carefully before drone operation.
(1) This drone is not a toy! It’s a pro-level drone suitable for experienced RC drone users aged 14 years and
older. You accept all liability for operation.
(2) This drone does not require FAA registration or permitting, but FAA rules still apply. Please download
the B4UFLY mobile app for the most up-to-date zoning info, and heed all local government ordinances.
(3) The ying eld must be legally approved by your local government.

be happy to help.
*Please use only original Force1 parts and accessories.
*Please keep the packaging and this user manual for future reference.
This drone is suitable for experienced RC drone operators aged 14 years and older. It contains small
parts, and should be kept out of reach of small children.
Please follow these safety procedures:
(1) Flight Zone
This drone does not require FAA registration or permitting, but FAA rules still apply. Please download
the B4UFLY mobile app for the most up-to-date zoning info, and heed all local government
ordinances.
(2) Avoid Moisture
Humidity and water can damage your drone, which in turn may cause accidents.
(3) Fly Safely
Please operate your drone as your skill level allows. User fatigue, impairment and improper operation
can cause accidents.

7.4V 1800mAh Li-Po Batteries
LI-PO BATTERY CARE
Avoid Overheating
Your batteries will sometimes be warm/hot to the touch after use. This is normal, but beware that battery
components will fail if not allowed to cool down between uses. Also, do not leave batteries exposed to
direct sunlight.
Store Properly
Store batteries at room temperature, between 5C°/40°F and 27°C/80°F.
Use Carefully
• Leave time between charging and using the battery
• To extend the lifetime of the battery, always keep about 20% of the power remaining in the drone
battery (rather than completely draining it)
• If the battery is pushed beyond its limits, the battery could get hot and the performance will drop
• When using the battery for a long time, the battery will increase in temperature. If it is sealed, the air
inside will inate rapidly causing further heating
Charging
• DO NOT overcharge the battery; never charge batteries unattended, and stop charging as soon as your
batteries indicate they are charged
• DO NOT attempt to charge batteries that appear damaged in any way (cracking, swelling, discoloration, etc.)
• If you feel a battery isn’t charging properly, try using another charger if possible. If you nd your battery
or charger is defective, please visit force1rc.com for a replacement, or email us at [e-mail]
• To inspect a battery, remove it from the device and examine the battery, battery pins and contacts. If
you notice damage, please visit force1rc.com for a replacement, or email us at [e-mail]
• Check your battery and connections after every crash
• Please use genuine factory parts and replacements from force1rc.com

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
1. Fly in an open area and abide by all local and federal guidelines. Check the FAA’s B4UFLY mobile app
for up-to-date drone flight info.
2. Make sure your drone and transmitter batteries are fully charged.
3. Put the left stick of the transmitter in the middle position.
4. Follow the Calibration instructions closely. Always turn ON your transmitter first before flying, and
turn OFF the drone first when you’re finished.
5. Make sure the connection is solid between your battery and motor; vibration may cause loosening.
6. Make sure the propellers are installed correctly and the motors are working normally after unlocking.
