HOW to MAINTAIN and TAKE CARE of your ODYSSEY TOYS’ DRONE BATTERIES
PLEASE NOTE THESE IMPORTANT BATTERY CAUTIONS
Your Drone is furnished with a removable, rechargeable battery. Please pay careful attention to the following safety
instructions:
1. Use only the charging USB cord provided by Odyssey Toys for charging.
2. If the battery becomes too hot while recharging, it means the battery is overcharged. Stop charging immediately to
avoid permanent damage to the battery.
3. After flying, the Drone’s battery temperature may be relatively high. Wait 10 minutes until the battery has cooled
before recharging.
4. Turn off both the Drone and Controller whenever they are not in use. If you don’t plan on flying your Drone for a time,
charge the battery before storing it.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according
to local laws. Never leave this product unattended while charging—doing so can be a fire hazard.
Your Spartan Streaming Drone comes with two pairs of replacement blades. The color denotes whether they are front or back.
(Orange > Front / Black > Back) You must take note of the curvature of the blades to make sure they match properly. If you attach
the wrong blade, the Drone will not fly, or it may behave erratically, which can lead to property damage or injury.
NOTE: If two blades become damaged, it is ok to replace a blade with one of a different color as long as the A/B marking is
identical. Ex. Front A Left Propeller = Rear A Right Propeller
NOTE: Propellers above are shown as you view the Drone from its front.

Always fly on a sunny, bright day with as little wind as
possible. Flying in extreme heat or cold can adversely affect
your flying control and response of the vehicle.
Always be sure to have adequate space around you to fly
the vehicle. Be aware of your surroundings to make sure
people or pets are not in the immediate vicinity when flying.
After connecting its fully charged battery, lay the Spartan Drone on the floor or a flat
area of ground. Turn on the Drone by sliding the switch in the center of the rear to the
“ON” position. The LED lights on the Drone will start to blink.

Auto Hover
Your Spartan Streaming Drone features an Always-On
Auto Hover mode. Just launch the Spartan into the
sky, take it up to your desired altitude using the left
joystick and then release the joystick. The Spartan
drone will stay at the desired altitude without further
input needed.
To make your Drone fly higher, gradually push the left
throttle stick (the left-hand joystick) forward (away
from you) until your Drone reaches the desired altitude.
CONTROLLING YOUR SPARTAN STREAMING DRONE IN FLIGHT
NOTE: Always make sure you keep visual contact with your Drone.
TO ASCEND
To make your Drone fly lower, gradually pull the throttle
stick backward (toward you) to stop the propellers from
spinning and therefore decrease altitude.
TO DESCEND
To fly forward: Push the direction stick (the right-hand
joystick) forward.
To fly backward: Pull the direction stick backward.
To strafe (lateral) to the left: Push the direction stick
to the left.

seconds for the Drone's internal digital gyro to electronically stabilize.
Push the throttle stick (left stick) up to the top (1) then pull it down to the bottom (2).
The Controller begins to search and connect with the Drone, and the power light on
the transmitter blinks quickly. The connection is completed once the Controller
power light and the LEDs on the Spartan Streaming Drone stop blinking.
Push the right joystick in (down) to Auto Start the motors. Your Drone is ready to
fly! To take off automatically, you can push the left joystick in (down) to launch the
Spartan Stream Drone into the air.
To land automatically, push the left joystick in (down) again. To stop the motors
simply push the right joystick down again and the motors will stop spinning.
To perform 360º flips, first tap the 360º Flip button on the top right. The remote control will then
start beeping. Then push the right joystick in the direction you want the flip to occur. For
example push forward, the drone will flip forward; push to the right, the drone will flip over the
right side. The unit will stop beeping. If you have pressed the 360º button and then decided not
to perform a flip, simply press the button again to exit the mode.

If the Drone leans toward one side when the propeller motors are turned on, you need to RESET the trim as follows:
Put the Drone on LEVEL ground. Then connect the Drone with the Controller as normal.
Push the throttle (left stick) and direction (right) stick both to the “7 o’clock” position (as the arrows show) for 3 seconds until the LED
lights blink and stay on. Then push both sticks to the “5 o’clock” position (as the arrows show). Trim operation is completed, and your
Drone should rise in a level manner.
NOTE: If, after trimming, your Drone still tilts when the propeller motors are turned on, make sure that your propellers are properly
matched with the correct motors. (See “Installing Propellers,” above.)
Change the speed of your Spartan Streaming Drone by
pressing the top, left-most button on the remote control.
(see diagram on page 4) This changes the speed from
BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE to EXPERT.
BEGINNER is the slowest speed, perfect for beginners to
become acclimated with the drone. INTERMEDIATE
steps up the speed a bit for more experienced users.
EXPERT is the fastest speed, allowing for incredible
versatility. This speed setting is to be used by only the
most qualified and advanced pilots.
NOTE: If the drone behaves erratically, does not want to launch, your Drone still tilts when the propeller motors are turned on, make sure that your
propellers are properly matched with the correct motors. (See “Replacing Damaged Propellers” on the bottom of page 2.)

button
Pushing the direction (right) stick forward flies your Spartan Drone in the direction of its front
propellers. But during flight, it’s often difficult to tell which way your Spartan Drone is
facing—in other words, whether its front or its back is facing you. Obviously, that makes it
hard to control the flight of your Drone. That’s where SmartFly mode comes in.
Press and hold the Smart Tech Fly mode button for 3 seconds, and your Spartan Drone will
orient itself in flight. It will automatically assign its front end farthest from you and its back
end closest to you, so that you can control its flight confidently.
For example; if the front of the unit was facing you when you engage SmartFly Mode, the
front now becomes the “rear” of the unit. Now pressing forward on the directional stick
moves the unit forward (away) from you.
Press and hold the Smart Tech Fly button again for 3 seconds to turn off the mode.
The Home Beacon feature, in connection with SmartFly mode, allows you to fly your Spartan Drone back toward you without
knowing its orientation. When your Drone is flying, press the SmartFly Mode button for 3 seconds to enter SmartFly mode.
Then, press the Home Beacon button for 3 seconds. Regardless of its front-to-back orientation, your Spartan Drone will fly back
toward you. To turn SmartFly mode and Home Beacon mode off, press each button for 3 seconds.

PROBLEM
Blinking
Unit LED
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Check to make sure the power switch is in the ON position. If set to OFF, move to the ON position.
Check to make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Check to make sure they match the polarity markings.
When the LED on the unit begins to blink, this indicates a low battery condition. Please charge the unit again.
If the batteries are installed correctly, they may be exhausted. Replace with new and fresh batteries.
•Make sure the radio control transmitter is set to the ON position
•Make sure the battery on the vehicle is installed correctly
•The vehicle may fly erratically if wind conditions are too strong. Fly the vehicle under calm conditions.
•Make sure the radio control transmitter has paired correctly with the vehicle. If not, power down the
vehicle and the radio control and start over.
The rotor speed may be too slow to lift the quadcopter sufficiently. Make sure the throttle is being raised
sufficiently. If the unit still does not go up or goes up too slowly, the battery of the quadcopter might be too
discharged for safe or satisfactory operation. Charge the battery before continuing to fly the unit.
If the unit fails to go up in altitude or goes up too slowly, try the following:
To shoot video, simply press the top button
indicated to the right of the left joystick. Press
once to start video recording, press again to stop
