TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM SOLUTION
I can’t turn the drone on.
The drone won’t charge.
The drone keeps
crashing.
The drone LED lights
ash, but it won’t y.
The drone propellers
spin, but it won’t y.
How tough is the
Monarch?
Carefully review the preight operation sequence. When starting the palm remote,
be sure to hold the power button down longer to start the drone, with a quick push
to pair with the drone. The red light eyes will glow solid red when the drone is
paired with the palm remote.
Make sure the charging cable is connected to USB port. There is a socket in the
battery. The USB plug should display a red light when charging and no light when
fully charged.
Make sure you have plenty of ight space. The Monarch is easier to navigate with
fewer obstacles.
Make sure the palm remote battery is working. Test the buttons on the remote and
the drone to ensure communication is established.
Inspect the propellers for damage and clear any debris if necessary. Try powering
down the drone and palm remote before starting again.
The Monarch drone is quite durable. That said, take care to be gentle when handling
the drone. Assuming you are staying clear of any hazardous spaces, objects or
liquids, the drone should be ready to relaunch again after a crash.
