(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.
Any questions? We’d love to hear from you! Please contact us at [e-mail] any time and we’ll
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

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.

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

DRONE BATTERY CHARGING
LI-PO BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING
Do not put lithium-polymer batteries in household trash. Please contact your
local waste management agency or LI-PO battery recycling center for more info.
1. First, attach your USB cable to the drone battery, then connect it to your preferred charging
source.
2. When the battery is charging, a red indicator light on the USB appears. When the battery is fully
charged, a green indicator light appears. The battery charging time is around 70-85 minutes.
NOTE
Use a 5V 2A AC adapter (not included) for faster charging.

Mode 1: Right-Hand Throttle
Push the ne-tuning button and the power button simultaneously. The LCD transmitter indicator will
ash slowly. Move the accelerator (right stick) up, and then down. The indicator will ash and indicate
Mode 1. This means that frequency connection AND pairing are complete, and the drone can y
normally in Mode 1.

THROTTLE MODE SELECTION & PAIRING
Mode 2: Left-Hand Throttle (Default)
Insert batteries and push the power button. Move the accelerator (left stick by default) up, and then
down (Fig. 9). The LCD transmitter indicator should come on, and show as Mode 2. This means that
frequency connection AND pairing are complete, and the drone can y normally in Mode 2.
NOTE
Be sure to select throttle mode and pair your drone while standing within 5 meters of it to
avoid interference.

Press the top-right corner button (back) to enter Headless Mode
before takeoff (Fig. 16). Your transmitter will beep every two seconds,
the drone lights will flash 3 times to indicate mode selection and
the LCD Headless Mode indicator will appear. You can now fly your
drone without knowing its orientation, because it will be fixed in the
direction you set it. Press button again to exit mode.
FUNCTIONS
ONE-KEY TAKEOFF
ONE-KEY LANDING
HEADLESS MODE
Place the drone on a at surface. Move the left and right sticks
down and inward simultaneously to unlock – propellers should
start rotating. Press the top-left corner button (Fig. 14) – the drone
should lift off and hover at about 1.5 meters.
Press the top-left corner button (back) while the drone is aloft to
land it (Fig. 15).
Setting Headless Mode Drone Direction
You must verify your drone’s flight direction before entering Headless Mode:
• Be sure your drone is facing away from you (Fig. 17)
• Move the left and right sticks down and to the left for about 2 seconds (Fig. 18)
• Drone lights will flash quickly for and then stay on, indicating direction is verified

TIP: Do not change the transmitter orientation after
entering Headless Mode. Otherwise, you will lose track
of the set orientation (i.e., that you and your transmitter
are facing “forward.”)
NOTE
You may calibrate your drone while in Headless Mode to
ensure normal flight control if you notice any variation.

NOTE
This will cause the drone to fall from the sky; use only in case of emergency.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH SPEED MODES
Your drone’s lights will flash and the transmitter will beep in midflight when the battery is low. This means
you have 30 seconds to land your drone before you lose power.
The Rogue has three speed modes: low (30%), medium (default 60%) and high (100%). To switch
speeds, press straight down on the accelerator stick as if it were a button. See Figure 22 for Mode 1
and Mode 2 operation.
EMERGENCY STOP
Press the one-key takeoff (top-left corner) and the top right corner buttons (Fig. 21) simultaneously to
initiate an emergency stop – this will cut power and stop the propellers immediately.
