IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
3.0 BATTERY SAFETY
When handled incorrectly, Lithium polymer batteries can be
dangerous and can potentially harm and do damage to persons or
property. NX does not accept any liability for damage to persons or
property if the battery is not correctly charged, stored or protected.
• Always unwind all cables before charging.
• Do not over charge the battery. Once the charging process is
completed, remove the battery from the charger as soon as
possible.
• Only use the included or replacement NX chargers and batteries.
• You must charge the Lithium polymer battery in a safe area away
from flammable materials.
• The battery is only to be charged under adult supervision, do not
leave charging batteries unattended. You should always remain in
constant observation to monitor the charging process and react
immediately to any potential problems that may occur.
• Do not charge the battery in temperatures hotter than 40°C or
colder than 0°C.
• Do not cover the batteries when charging. Do not leave batteries in
direct sunlight.
• After each flight & or crash, please check battery for any damage or
swelling.
• If the battery is damaged, leaking, making noise, punctured or
malformed in any way DO NOT attempt to use it. Please dispose of
the battery immediately and safely in the correct manner.
• Do not bend, puncture, crush or scratch the drone’s battery. Do
not store batteries in your pockets, on your person or in extreme
temperatures.
• After flying/discharging the battery you must allow it to cool to
ambient/room temperature before recharging.
• If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery
begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging
immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it
in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it for
at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that
has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that has
ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from
service completely.
• Never plug in a battery and leave it to charge unattended overnight.
• Non-compliance with the above warnings may result in the failure of
the battery.

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR NX DRONE COMES WITH A CERTIFIED
NX USB AC CHARGING ADAPTER FOR 240v CHARGING OF
YOUR DRONE BATTERY. USE OF A NON NX CERTIFIED USB AC
CHARGING ADAPTER WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND MAY
DAMAGE BOTH YOUR BATTERY AND DRONE.
Connect the drone battery to the charging cable. The light will glow
red indicating charging is in process. The LED on the USB charging
cable will turn off once charging is complete. To keep the battery life
as long as possible, avoid removing the battery from the charging
cable before charging is complete. If you have just finished flying
your NX drone, please allow the battery to cool down for at least
30 minutes before recharging. When the NX battery has finished
charging it is advised that the battery is removed from the charger as
soon as possible. Overcharging will damage the battery and effect
the flight time. The NX battery can take up to 120 minutes to fully
charge. If the battery has been on charge for any longer than 2.5 hours
and indicator on the charging cable is not showing that the battery is
charged, please remove the battery from the charger.

4.0 SETTING UP YOUR NX DRONE
4.1 INSTALLING THE BATTERY
For detailed instructions on how to install the battery please follow the
steps below.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Insert the battery into the rear of the drone in the correct orientation
(the tab on the battery should be facing down).
3. Slide the battery all the way in until it securely slots into place.
NOTE:
• Do not force the battery, if the battery does not fit into position, please
check that you have installed the battery in the correct orientation.
4.2 REPLACING ROTOR BLADES
If your rotor blades become damaged or the NX drone is no longer flying
straight, the rotor blades may need to be replaced. To replace the NX's
rotor blades please follow the directions below.
There are two types of rotor blades included with the NX, A blades
(clockwise rotation) and B blades (counter clockwise rotation). The blades
are marked on top showing either A or B. The arms of the drone are also
marked A and B showing what blades each motor is compatible with.
It is important that the rotor blades are installed on the designated motors
or else the drone may not fly and you could potentially burn out the drone's
motors.
To remove and replace the rotor blades, please follow the instructions
below.
1. Remove the black cap from the top of the rotor blade that you want to
replace by using a small flat head screw driver (not included). This will
reveal the securing screw.
2. Remove the rotor blades securing screw by unscrewing counter
clockwise with screw driver (included).

8
3. Once the screw has been removed gently pull the rotor blade upward to
remove the rotor blade from the motor stem.
4. Get your replacement blade and ensure to identify and match the
correct blade with the motor (A rotor blade to A motor, B rotor blade to
B motor).
5. Place the new rotor blade over the motor stem and press it to ensure it
is locked.
6. Replace and tighten the screw.
7. Replace the black cap by pressing it back into position.
NOTE
• It is important that the correct rotor blades are installed on the correct
motors. If they are installed incorrectly the drone will not fly and you
could potentially burn out the drone’s motors.
• When replacing multiple rotor blades please replace the blades one at a
time to avoid any confusion in reattaching the rotor blades.
4.3 INSTALLING ROTOR GUARDS
Replacing the rotor guards is an option. Installing the rotor guards will
protect your rotor blades and motors against bumps and light crashes.
1. To install the rotor guards please insert the rotor
guards' pegs into the designated holes near the
motors on the NX's arms.
2. To remove the rotor guard, please press the
middle part of rotor guard first, then take the
rotor guard out.

4.4 REMOTE CONTROL
1. Extend the arms of the remote controller.
2. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the remote control by sliding it
downward.
3. Insert 2 x AAA batteries (AAA batteries not included) making sure that
they are in the orientation specified.
NOTE:
• The right arm of the controller is Power ON / OFF.
• By extending the arm lower, the controller will Power On make a beep
sound and the Power Indicator will turn ON.
• Closing the right controller arm will turn off the controller.
4.5 FLIGHT SAFETY
Before flying your NX make sure that you are in a safe setting. CASA
restrictions regarding flying drones require the drone to be no closer than
5.5kms from any airport or airfield while flying. Drones should also not be
flown over populated areas or any closer than 30 meters from vehicles,
people or animals.
It is also required that you check your surroundings before taking off making
sure there are no obstacles or dangers in the area including overhead
