Fly Safely!
Drones are sophisticated precision devices capable of complex aerial maneuvers.
Please read these safety instructions before using your drone. Failure to operate
your drone safely could degrade its performance and cause harm to people, animals,
or property.
Please do not fly:
- Near or around obstacles such as birds or pets, aircraft, helicopters, other drones,
antennas or overhead lines, or airborne toys lke kites.
- In or near airports or restricted areas.
- In adverse conditions such as strong winds, rain, hail, snow or sleet.
- If you are impaired, tired, or distracted.
Please do:
- Know and comply with laws and regulations respecting drone use in your area.
- Keep hands away from rotors when drone is switched on.
- Fly within transmitter range, which is 75 feet.

Charging the JETJAT Nano-C
Pre-flight
Battery Installation and Charging
Note: Check that both batteries’ positive
and negative terminals are installed correctly.
1. Open battery cover 2. Install two “AAA” batteries 3. Close cover
1. Turn ON the transmitter.
2. Pull the throttle all the way back toward the user.
(Figure 1) The transmitter will beep once.
3. Turn ON the drone and place it on a level surface.
Its lights will flash.
4. Push the throttle all the way forward, away from the
user. (Figure 2)
5. Pull the throttle all the way back toward the user. The
drone’s lights should stop flashing.
6

Operation and Control
- Throttle: Ascent and Descent
- Direction: Left and Right Rotation
- Rudder: Fly Forward or Backward
- Aileron: Fly Left or Right
Caution: Please operate the control stick slowly when flying your drone. During
flying, the drone may lose altitude when maneuvering. Therefore, you may need to
add more power to keep the drone flying at a given height.

Right-Handed
Left-Handed

Response Levels
Press the left throttle down to traverse through three control levels.
- Moderate: Single “beep” - moderate control responsiveness
- High: Double “beep”- high control responsiveness
- Maximum: Triple “beep” - highest control responsiveness

Aerial Tumbling
Photo and Video
JETJAT Nano-C can do aerial flips.
- Flips can be performed in any one of 4 horizontal directions: left, right, forward,
or backward.
- In order to better carry out aerial flips, ensure the drone is at least one meter
above the ground.
- To perform flips, first press the right throttle. A single “beep” from the
transmitter signals the drone is in flip mode.
Once in flip mode:
Left Flip: Push the aileron to the left.
Right Flip: Push the aileron to the right.
Front Flip: Push the ascend/descend throttle forward.
Back Flip: Push the ascend/descend throttle back.
Video:
Start Recording: Once the drone and transmitter are paired, briefly press the
video switch on the transmitter. The blue Video-Photo indicator light on the drone
will flash quickly.
Stop Recording: When recording, briefly press the Video switch on the
transmitter. The Video-Photo indicator light on the drone will turn a steady blue
indicating recording has finished.
Photos:
Once the drone and transmitter are paired, briefly press the Photo switch on the
transmitter. The blue Video-Photo indicator light on the drone will flash quickly
twice. This signals that the camera has stored a photo on the Micro SD Card

Trim Adjustment
Accelerometer Calibration
If the drone appears unstable or drifts to one direction, you need to calibrate the
accelerometer.
1. After pairing the drone and transmitter, place the drone on a level surface.
2. Set Sensitivity to Maximum and pull the throttle all the way back and left
while pushing the ascend/descend aileron all the way forward to the upper left.
The drone’s main lights will flash for 1-2 seconds, indicating that the calibration
was successful.
Note: If the drone still drifts in one direction, you may need to compensate for the accelerometer’s
horizontal angle of deviation. Re-pair the drone and transmitter if necessary, then place the drone
on a level surface with several sheets of paper under the rotor facing the direction of the flight.
Then re-calibrate the accelerometer.
10

Low Battery and Standby Function
Low Battery Voltage
When the battery voltage is running low, the four LED indicators on the drone will
flash. Lower the flying height and land the drone as soon as possible to avoid
damaging the drone. Turn off the drone power and recharge.
Standby Function
After about 8 minutes of inactivity, the drone will automatically turn off. To turn
on the drone, move the Power Switch to the OFF and then ON positions. The LED
lights will indicate that it is turned on.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
PROBLEM STEPS
Auto Shut-Off Protection:
If the rotors are obstructed during
operation, the drone will shut-off.
Clear the obstruction. Turn the
drone OFF, then ON. Check that
the drone is fully charged.
Drone will not take off.
Check that the drone is fully
charged. If necessary, check
Accelerometer calibration.
Rotors not functioning properly.
Turn the drone OFF, then ON and
pair with the transmitter. Replace
the propellers if deformed,
damaged, or installed incorrectly.
How:
1. Grasp propeller underneath
center cap where it meets drone
body.
2. Pull straight off its shaft.

Lithium Battery Safety Guide
!
WARNING:
If the device is not operating, charging the lithium battery may cause fire,
injury, or loss of property. The user should be aware of the risks while using
the product. The manufacturer shall not in any way be liable to you or to any
third party for any damages you or any third party may suffer as a result of
use, intended or unintended. Please carefully read these safety guidelines
and charging instructions before use.
Lithium Battery Guarantee
MOTA guarantees quality materials and workmanship for this product. Under no circumstances
will MOTA compensate an amount higher than the valued retail price.
Your drone uses an internal high-performance non-removable lithium battery. The transmitter uses 2
AAA replaceable batteries. Please store the drone and batteries in a cool, dry environment away from
children and pets.
1. Do not disassemble, pierce, cut, or distort the drone or its batteries. Doing so is a safety hazard and
violates the warranty.
2. Please use the only original USB charger cable included with the drone.
3. When charging, ensure the drone is in a ventilated area, on a hard surface and uncovered, and do not
leave it unattended more than a few minutes. The drone automatically stops charging after the battery
is full (you will see the red light on the USB connector turn OFF) but it is recommended you disconnect
the power source once your drone is charged.
4. Do not fly or store the drone in very high temperatures or near any heat source, open flame, or
flammable materials.
5. Metal objects may cause a short in the battery if they touch its positive (”+”) and/or negative (”-”)
terminals. Please do not store or transport the drone and transmitter with metallic objects of any kind
such as coins, keys, thumb drives, etc.
6. In the unlikely event the drone or transmitter’s batteries emit an odor, smoke or liquid, or if you
notice any other abnormal condition, immediately disconnect the drone from the charging device (if
connected) and take the drone and transmitter outdoors to a safe area. Do not attempt to charge,
operate or switch the drone transmitter ON or OFF. Do not touch any liquids as it may irritate the skin.
If liquid from a battery accidentally gets into an eye, rinse the eye with clear water. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention.
7. When the batteries reach the end of their useful life. please dispose of the drone and transmitter
batteries at an authorized recycling center or organization.
