Transmitter and Receiver
signal connection
Turn on the drone and place it on a level surface,
the drone’s indicator light should start to slowly
blink, which indicates it’s waiting for pairing.
Switch on the remote controller. When the remote
controller’s indicator light blinks, move the left
joystick upwards and you’ll hear a beep sound. Then
move it downwards and you’ll hear another beep
sound. When both the remote controller’s and
drone’s indicator light appear solid, this will indicate
pairing has been successful.

Headless Mode
Using ‘Headless Mode’ helps to make it easier and
safer to learn how to y a drone especially if you are
a beginner. The drone will automatically y in the
direction you want it to regardless of the direction it’s
facing. This is particularly useful if you’re unsure what
the drone’s orientation is if you can’t tell from a long
distance away from you.
1. The drone is by default in ‘common / normal’ mode
as the drone’s indication light will be visibly on.
When you press the ‘headless mode’ function key on
the remote control, you’ll hear a short beep sound
that will indicate the drone has entered into headless
mode. When you next press the headless mode
function key again, you’ll then hear a long beep
sound that indicates the drone has now come out of
headless mode and is back to it’s default setting.
2. ln headless mode, you as the operator don’t need to
worry about identifying the direction of the drone’s
nose is facing, which just leaves you to easily control
the direction of the drone you want it to y to. If you
move the drone to the left or right, it will move to
your left or right.
Left Joystick
– press this
down to enter
/ exit ‘headless
mode’
One-key Landing Mode
Press the ‘One-key Start
/ Landing’ button on the
remote control to make
the drone automatically
slowly descend until
landing on the ground
and switch itself off.

11
Fine-tuning Mode
When the drone spins uncontrollably or ‘yaws’ in the
air, please use the ne-tuning mode. Press down the
right joystick and push the joystick to the opposite
direction the drone is spinning or yawing, e.g. push
right if spinning to the left). You should now be able to
ne-tune the direction until the drone stays oriented.

Please Note
When the drone is within 30cm from the ground,
it’s stability will be affected by the ‘propeller blade
vortex’ made by itself and become unstable. This is
known as “ground effect” where the lower the drone
is, the greater this effect will be. To minimise ground
effect, either y higher / ascend the drone away from
the ground or choose to land it to prevent it crashing
down by using the ‘one-key landing mode’.
Emergency Stop
Press and hold down the
‘Emergency Stop’ button
which will make the
drone immediately stop
ying.
