Vektor Drone
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 battery compartment.
3. Insert two AAA batteries (not included), matching
the polarities (+and –) marked inside. Use alkaline
batteries for optimal performance. Replace the cover.
Note: If the remote control’s LED ashes during use, the
batteries are low and should be replaced.
Age 12+
Get Ready to Fly
1. Turn on the drone. The LED ashes green.
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 blades 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 electrical 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 ground air
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 crashes upside down, pull the throttle down and switch o the remote
control rst. Never touch the drone when blades are still moving.
We hope you enjoy your Vektor Drone from
RadioShack. Please read this user’s guide before
setting up and using your drone.
What’s Included
• Vektor Drone • Remote Control
• USB Charging Cable • Spare Blades (4)
• 3.7V Drone Battery • User’s Guide
Charge the Drone
Your drone uses a built-in lithium polymer battery for power.
1. 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. A fully charged battery
provides up to 4 minutes of ight time.
2. After charging, unplug the USB charging cable. Do not attempt to
overcharge the battery.
Caution: Use only the included USB charging cable to charge the
drone's battery. Using any other cable may damage the drone.

Trim Your Drone
Move the throttle forward and see how the drone
reacts.
Forward/Reverse Movement Trim: If the drone
tends to move forward, press 6 ; if it tends to
move backward, press 5.
Left/Right Slide Trim: If the drone tends to slide
right, press 5; if it tends to slide left, press 6 .
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 blades instantly and cause the drone to
crash.
2. When you nish ying, turn o the remote control
and drone.
Perform Stunts
1. Push the throttle control in so that the remote
control beeps repeatedly, indicating the drone is in
stunt mode.
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 you can push in the throttle
control again to exit immediately.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is enough space for the
drone to perform stunts without crashing into objects
or people.
Calibrate the Drone
If controlling the drone becomes dicult, use
the following steps to calibrate the drone.
1. Select an open location without strong
magnetic interference and place the drone
on level ground.
2. Turn on the drone and the remote control,
then pair the remote control with the
drone.
3. With the throttle all the way down, move
the steering control all the way up until the
drone's LED ashes rapidly.
4. When the drone's LED lights steadily, your
drone is calibrated and should y smoothly.
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.
• Keep eyes, hands, hair, and loose clothing
away from moving blades.
• Adult supervision is recommended at all
times.

Troubleshooting
Drone does not respond
• Make sure the drone and remote control are
switched on and paired. When paired, the
LEDs of the drone and remote control light
steadily.
• The drone battery may be low. Fully charge
the battery. See “Charge the Drone.“
• Remote control batteries may be low.
Replace the batteries.
• Make sure the drone is within the control
range (65 ft./20m) and in line of sight.
Dronediculttocontrol
• The blades may be deformed due to a
crash. Adjust deformed blades by hand. If
you cannot adjust them, replace with the
spare blades.
• The throttle control is very sensitive. Use
small, ne movements to control.
• If you are a beginner, set to low speed mode.
See “Fly Your Drone.“
Battery Notes
• Always let the drone battery cool before
recharging.
• 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
remote control. 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.
