drone and / or damaged remote.
Users of this product should be aware of the risks of potential damage and should therefore use it with
great caution.
1. Avoid the crowds and obstacles : the speed and behavior of the drone can sometimes be unstable
it is strongly advised to use it in places away from the crowds tall buildings or trees high voltage
cables to prevent injury to the user or other persons or damages to the drone.
2. Do not fly the drone in bad weather (rain wind storm) to prevent damages or lost. Keep away
from wet places to avoid dis-functioning of electronic parts.
3. Do not use the drone if you're tired because the control requires maximum concentration. Be very
careful during learning until your control of the drone is acquired.
4. Keep the drone and the battery away from heat: this product is made of metal and plastic parts
and electrical parts. Therefore it should not be exposed to high temperatures such as near fire near

a heating radiator or exposed too long to direct sunlight.

cause permanent damage to the battery. Please stop charging immediately if this happens.
4. Do not leave the battery unattended while charging and do not leave load near flammable material
or in a vehicle.
5. When the drone has just finished flight the battery temperature is higher it is preferable to wait
for 30 minutes and charge the lithium battery when cooled otherwise it may damage the battery .
6. Do not short-circuit the battery polarity when connecting the charger.
7. Do not expose the battery to excessive heat never throw it into the fire to avoid any risk of
explosion.

the direction of rotation. More details in the illustration at
right. The propellers that rotate clockwise are marked with a
letter A. Those that rotate in the anti-clockwise direction are
marked with a letter B.
NOTE: The installation of accessories increases the weight of the drone and can affect the flight time.

BEFORE FLYING
Settle in a space without obstacles with a clearance of about ten meters around you and five meters in
height at least.

upward and then pull it to the bottom. A beep sounds when the joystick is
at the top and another beep when it is at the bottom. The 2 beeps indicate
that the synchronization is successful and that the drone is ready to fly.
When the synchronisation between the drone and the remote
controller is established simply press on « Auto take-off »
button and the drone will take-off and hover at

FLYING IN CF MODE (DIRECTION LOCK, HEADFREE)
When this mode is enabled the drone uses the direction it has stored at the time of synchronization and
takes the pilot's position as a reference when using the right joystick on the remote. The movement front
or back of this joystick will move away the drone or let it come closer from the pilot and regardless of
the orientation of the front of the drone.
The operation of this mode requires that the pilot remains in the same place as at the time of
synchronization and keeps the drone in front of him during the flight.

more than three seconds the LEDs of the drone will again flash quickly awaiting for a new setting of the
flight direction. Proceed from step 1 again to set the flight direction.
