Surveyor Drone
Install Batteries in the Transmitter
1. On the transmitter, set the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
3. Insert two AAA batteries (not included), matching
the polarities marked inside. Use alkaline batteries
for optimal performance.
During play, if the transmitter’s
LED ashes, replace the
batteries.
Age 14+
Get Ready to Fly
1. Open the drone battery compartment door and nd the battery socket.
2. Plug the drone battery to the socket. The four LEDs (two in white in the
front, two in green in the back) ash.
3. Insert the battery with its cable into the battery compartment.
4. Secure the compartment door.
5. Place the drone on level ground.
6.
Switch on the transmitter. The transmitter’s LED lights.
7.
Move the throttle all the way from the descend position to ascend
and back to descend to pair the transmitter with the drone. The
drone’s blades remain still during pairing. When paired, the drone’s
LEDs stop ashing and remain on.
Note:
If pairing fails, switch o the drone and transmitter and repeat the
steps above, or move locations to avoid interference.
Fly Your Drone
1. After pairing, press the steering control to switch between high speed (double beep) and normal
speed (single beep).
2. For beginners: With the drone on the ground, move the throttle forward to y.
For advanced users: Hold the transmitter with one hand, resting your thumb on the throttle.
Then throw the drone about three meters away from you, and promptly move the throttle
forward to y. The drone adjusts itself automatically and ies stably.
3. To land your drone, slowly move the throttle backward to descend. Avoid moving the throttle too
quickly, as that can stop the blades instantly and cause the drone to crash.
4. When you nish playing, disconnect and remove the drone battery and turn o the transmitter.
We hope you enjoy your Surveyor Drone from
RadioShack. Please read this user’s guide before
setting up and using your drone.
What’s Included
• Surveyor Drone • Transmitter
• USB Charging Cable • Spare Blades (4)
• 3.7V Drone Battery • User’s Guide
Charge the Drone Battery
Your drone uses a lithium polymer battery for power.
1. Hold the battery connector (NOT the cable) and carefully unplug
the battery from the drone.
2.
Use the USB charging cable to connect the battery to a USB power
source, such as a laptop. The LED on the USB connector lights red
during charging, and turns o when charging is complete.
A full charge takes about 35 minutes. When the battery is fully
charged, the drone can y up to 5 minutes.
3. After charging, unplug the USB charging cable. Do not attempt to
overcharge the battery.
Caution:
• Use only the supplied lithium battery. Using any
other battery may damage the drone.
• Only use the included USB charging cable to
charge the drone battery. LED

Perform Flip Stunts
1. Press and hold the throttle control. The transmitter
beeps.
2. Move the steering control to perform ips:
• Frontip: Move lever forward
• Backip: Move lever backward
• Barrel roll: Move lever right or left
3. To exit stunt mode, release the throttle before moving
the steering control.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is enough space for the
drone to perform a ip. Avoid crashing on people or any
object.
Trim Your Drone
Use the two trim pads to ne-tune your drone to avoid
excess drift. Push the throttle forward and observe how the
drone reacts.
Forward/Reverse Movement Trim: If the drone tends
to move forward, press the lower part on this pad; if it
tends to move backward, press the upper part.
Left/Right Slide Trim: If the drone tends to slide right,
press the upper part on this pad; if it tends to slide left,
press the lower part.
Note: The transmitter sounds a short beep when you
press any trim control. A long beep sounds when you reach
maximum trim adjustment.
Fly Safely
• When ying outdoors, keep the drone away
from power-lines, trees, weeds, and water.
• When ying indoors, keep the drone away
from walls, air conditioning, air vents, fans,
breakable objects, and other obstacles.
• Do not y the drone near or at other people
or animals. Use caution when ying, make
sure people around you know that you are
playing with the drone.
• Keep eyes, hands, hair and loose clothing
away from moving blades.
• Fly the drone safely. If it crashes, the SD
card may fall out and be lost.
• Adult supervision is recommended at all
times.
CHOKING HAZARD! Small parts. Not for
children under 3 years.

Troubleshooting
Drone is not responding
• Make sure the drone and transmitter
are switched on and paired. When they
are paired, the LEDs of the drone and
transmitter are on.
• The drone battery may be low. Charge the
battery fully. (Refer to “Charge the Drone
Battery“)
• Transmitter battery may be low. Replace
the batteries.
• Make sure the drone is within the control
range (65 ft./20m) and in line of sight.
Drone difficult to control
• The throttle control is very sensitive. Use
small, ne movements of the throttle.
• If you are a beginner, use the steering
control to set to the normal speed mode.
It is easier to control in the normal speed
mode. (Refer to “Fly Your Drone“)
Battery Notes
• After playing, you may need to wait to let
the drone battery cool before charging it.
• 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.
• If you do not plan to use the drone for a
long period, remove the batteries from the
transmitter. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can damage electronic parts.
Lithium Battery Notes
• 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.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
charging the drone and do not charge longer
than recommended. Unplug the charging
cable when the drone is charged.
• Do not attempt to charge or operate
damaged toys.
