FLYING THE QUADCOPTER
Step 2: Push the ON/OFF
power switch up.
Step 1: Connect the wires
on the quad-copter.
Step 3: Push the throttle lever to the highest position, and
then pull it back to the lowest position. The transmitter
will beep twice. This shows that the quad-copter has synced
with the remote.
Tips: When syncing your quad-copter keep it
in a horizontal position for stable flight.
1. If the Movie-Drone and the remote do not sync after following the checklist, reverse steps
1 and 2 of the process. Turn the remote off and unplug the cable from the Movie-Drone.
Then, turn on the remote first and then plug the cable back into the Movie-Drone to turn it
on. Follow with Step 3.
2. Turn on the controller; if, after 30 seconds, it has not recognized the helicopter, turn off the
controller to retry synchronization.
3. If quad-copter’s LED blinks slowly, it means that it has not recognized the controller; please
restart pre-flight procedure.
4. If the Movie-Drone is unsteady in flight, it may not have been able to calibrate horizontally.
Power down both vehicle and remote and restart pre-flight procedure.

minutes --- Flying time: approximately
12 minutes
1. When charging, place product on a dry, well-ventilated surface and keep away from heat
sources.
2. Always use adult supervision while charging.

higher efficiency.
4. Do not strike or subject battery to hard impacts or sharp surfaces.
5. Do not use any other charger than that which is supplied with this item.
6. Do not use or leave battery near a heat source such as fire or space heater; exposure to
heat may result in reduced performance or in some cases dangerous conditions.
7. If battery is left in charging state for an extended period of time after being fully charged,
the battery may automatically discharge.
8. Never leave the battery unattended during charging.
CAUTION WHEN CHARGING
