Charge the Drone
1. Set the drone's ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Connect the included USB charging cable to the drone's CHG
jack and a USB power source. The USB connector LED lights red
during charging, and turns o when charging is complete.
A full charge takes about 50 minutes, and gives you up to 5
minutes ight time.
3. After charging, unplug the charging cable.
CAUTION
• Use only the included USB charging cable to charge the drone's
battery. Other cables may damage the drone.
• Always let the drone battery cool before recharging.
Lithium Battery Notes
Your drone uses a built-in lithium polymer battery for power. Follow
the instructions for charging.
•Do not charge longer than recommended. Unplug the charging cable
when the drone is charged.
• Do not puncture or crush. Do not disassemble.
• Do not dispose of lithium batteries in the trash.
• If the electrolyte in the cells should get on your skin, thoroughly wash
with soap and water. If in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Immediately seek medical attention.
• Do not attempt to charge or operate damaged toys.

Install Batteries in the Remote Control
1. On the remote control, set the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the twin battery compartments. Then
insert four AAA batteries (not included), matching the polarities
(+and –) marked inside. Replace the cover.
Note: If the remote control’s LED ashes during use, the batteries
are low and should be replaced.
Battery Notes
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dierent types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dierent capacities.
• Remove batteries during longer storage periods. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can damage electronic parts.

Pairing
Switch on and pair one drone and remote control at a time.
1. Turn on the drone. The drone's LEDs ash.
2. Place the drone on level ground.
3. Turn on the remote control. The remote control's LED ashes.
4. Move the throttle all the way up and then down to pair the
remote control with the drone. The drone’s propellers remain
still during pairing. When paired, the LEDs on both the remote
control and drone light steadily.
Note: If pairing fails, turn o the drone and remote control and repeat
the steps above, or change locations to avoid interference.
Fly Your Drone
1. After pairing, push the steering control in to switch between high
speed (double beep) and low speed (single beep).
2. With the drone on the ground, move the throttle forward to
ascend. To avoid turbulence, y the drone at least 1 ft. (30cm) o
the ground.
For advanced users: Hold the remote control with one hand,
resting your thumb on the throttle. Throw the drone about 9 ft.
(3m) away from you, and move the throttle forward to y. The
drone adjusts itself automatically and ies smoothly.
IMPORTANT: If your drone lands upside down, pull the throttle all the
way down. Wait for the propellers to stop before touching the drone.
Trim Your Drone
Move the throttle forward and see how the drone reacts.
Reverse/ Forward Movement Trim: If the drone tends
to move forward, press f; if it tends to move backward,
press g.
Left/Right Slide Trim: If the drone tends to slide right,
press f; if it tends to slide left, press g.
Note: The remote control beeps when you press a trim control, but
stops beeping when you reach maximum trim adjustment.

Land Your Drone
1. Slowly move the throttle backward to descend. Avoid moving
the throttle too quickly, as it can stop the propellers instantly and
cause the drone to crash.
2. When you nish playing, turn o the remote control and drone.
Perform Stunts
CAUTION: Make sure there is enough space for the drone to
perform stunts without crashing into objects or people.
1. Push the throttle control to activate stunt mode. The remote
control beeps repeatedly.
2. Use the steering control to perform stunts:
•Front ip: Move steering forward
•Back ip: Move steering backward
•Barrel roll: Move steering right or left
3. The drone automatically exits stunt mode after performing a
stunt, or push in the throttle control again to exit immediately.
Dogfight!
Battle with a friend. You will
need to y within close range
to shoot deadly infrared
missiles.
Each player has 3 lives per
challenge. First drone to lose
all 3 lives goes down!
1. Use the throttle and
steering controls to y
and hover close. When
within 16 ft of your
opponent, level to re.
• Press and hold for a rapid volley, or
•Press to shoot single re.

2. When your drone is hit, the LEDs blink and the drone shakes and
spins.
• After receiving a third hit, the casualty drone will automatically
slowly descend and land.
3. Never give up. Move throttle forward to take o for another battle!
Replace Damaged Propellers
The left and right propellers
of the drone are dierent, and
marked A/B on the propeller.
You must use the correct
propeller in the correct
location.
To replace a damaged
propeller, remove the old one
and press the new one onto
the propeller axle. If you cannot
remove the old propeller by
hand, use pliers.
WARNING:
• To avoid injury and damage, check the propellers for nicks and
breaks and make sure they are securely attached before and after
each ight. Replace any damaged propellers.
• Use only the supplied propellers. Do not alter, modify, or
customize the propellers.

Troubleshooting
Drone does not respond
• Make sure the drone and remote control are switched on and
paired.
• Avoid pairing both drones at the same time within 10 feet as this
causes interference. Pair each drone with its matching remote
control individually.
• Drone battery maybe low. Fully charge the battery. See “Charge
the Drone.“
• Remote control batteries maybe low. Replace the batteries.
• Make sure the drone is within the control range (65 ft) and in line
of sight.
• In battle mode, make sure you y within IR range (16 ft), and level
with your opponent to shoot. Stage your battles indoors to avoid
strong sunlight which aects IR reception.
Drone difficult to control
• The throttle control is very sensitive. Use small, ne movements
to control.
• Propellers maybe bent. Adjust propellers by hand. If you cannot
adjust them, replace with the spare propellers.
• Practice in low speed mode. See “Fly Your Drone."
• The gyroscope inside your drone may need calibrating:
Calibrate Your Drone
1. With your drone and remote control switched on and paired,
place the drone on level ground.
2. Move the throttle all the way down.
3. Move the steering forward and hold this position for a few
seconds until the drone LEDs start to blink.
4. Release the steering. The drone LEDs light steadily, indicating
successful calibration. You are now ready for takeo.
•See “Trim Your Drone" to ne tune hovering and movement to
further improve control of your drone after calibration.
