to change at the sole discretion of our company.
• If this is your first time flying a quadcopter read the manual carefully.
Seek the help of an experienced pilot to help you fly. These safety
instructions are intended not only for the protection of your Quadrone
but also to protect your own safety. Improper operation can cause
injury or property damage.
• This product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Please make sure
you choose a flight area with no obstacles and maintain a safe
distance from people and pets. Do not operate near power lines.
• Read the ENTIRE instruction manual to become familiar with the
features of the product before operating. Failure to operate the
product correctly can result in damage to the product, personal
property or cause serious injury. This is a sophisticated hobby

•Before your first flight, please take the time to carefully read this
manual containing important flight information which will help your first
flight go more smoothly.
• RC models are composed of many precise electrical components. It is
important to keep the model and associated equipment away from
moisture and other contaminants. The introduction of exposure to
water or moisture in any form can cause the model to malfunction
or crash. Do not operate or expose to rain or moisture.
• To avoid a potential fire hazard from batteries, do not short, reverse
polarity, or puncture batteries. Battery charging should be done under
adult supervision at all times, at a location out of reach of children. Do
not mix Ni-Cad and Alkaline batteries.
• Make sure the batteries are installed correctly to ensure correct
polarity. If you do not plan to use your Quadrone for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from the controller to avoid
battery leakage which may damage the controller. Please dispose
depleted batteries according to local laws and ordinances.
• Li-Polymer batteries have higher operational risks compared to other
batteries. It is imperative to follow proper operational guidelines. The
manufacturer and dealer assume no liability for accidental damages
caused by improper usage. Do not use any other charger other than
the supplied charger included in this packaging in order to avoid
potential fire or explosion. Do not crush, disassemble, burn,
or reverse polarity.

Practice Tips
Trimming the Quad
• Use these recommended practice exercises to become a better
Quadrone pilot:
• If your Quadrone is leaning to or favoring a side, you may need to use
the trim feature to balance it out so it flies straight.
Elevation: Raise the Quadrone using the throttle joystick. Gradually
lower the Quadrone so it lands softly to the ground.
Direction: Move the Quadrone in a cross pattern using the directional
joystick. Move forward, backward, left, right, and back to
its original position.
Turning: Turn the Quadrone in a throttle joystick. Turn left and right
repeatedly, and back to its original position.
Flying: Once you have mastered the previous three exercises,
draw a circle on the ground. Practice flying within the
confines of the circle. Narrow the circle as your skills
progress.
When you are done flying, press the Auto Land button. The drone will slowly
land itself to the ground and turn the motors off.
In case of an emergency, press the Emergency Stop button. The blades will
immediately stop and the drone will fall to the ground.
Aileron If the Quadrone leans to
the right, press the Left
Aileron Trim button until it
straightens out.
If the Quadrone leans to
the left, press the Right
Aileron Trim button until it
straightens out.

Forward/Backward If the Quadrone leans
backward, press the
Forward Trim button until it
straightens out.

problem, you will have to recalibrate
your drone. To do so, land the quad on
a flat surface. Hold the joysticks in the
down and out position. The light on the
remote will flash. Hold this position
