Charging the Battery
Information & Procedure
The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. To avoid risk of injury or damage,
be sure the craft and remote control are both powered OFF and remove the battery
from the craft when charging. Charging time is approximately 120 minutes. Charge fully
before use for best performance.
Connect the USB charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or
USB power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the battery plug.
While charging, the cable will display a red light.
When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF.
Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging
port or damage may occur.
REMINDER: Do not charge overnight. Do not leave
unattended while charging.

Flying
Step 1
Power ON the craft and place it on a flat
surface. This is necessary for the craft’s
gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on
the craft will blink as it searches for a signal
from the remote.
Be sure the craft and yourself are facing
the same forward direction, this will help
with orientation while flying.
Step 2
Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from
the craft. An audible chime will sound when the remote and the craft have linked.
Step 3
Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully
forward, wait for a chime to sound, then
pull the stick fully rearward, and wait for a
second chime. When this last chime has
sounded the craft is ready to fly.
Front
Remote Link & Calibration
Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the
craft must be allowed to calibrate.
Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the craft and
remote powered OFF.

When You’re Finished Flying
After landing, keep the Left Control Stick (throttle) in the lowest position and wait for the
rotors to stop spinning. Power OFF the remote BEFORE powering OFF the craft. This will
ensure that no signals are accidentally sent by the remote, reducing the chance of injury.
After this is done, it is safe to pick up and power OFF the craft.

Setting Trim & Countering Drift
Even after the craft is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting
the trim will help counter this effect and allow better control of the craft.
To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover. Try to avoid
making any exaggerated movements with the flight controls and adjust one trim setting at
a time to avoid confusion.
Note: Adjusting the trim will help with drift but it will not entirely eliminate it. Air currents
and other factors may still cause slight drift while airborne. Adjusting the trim is meant to
correct distinct and obvious drift that makes the craft difficult to control.
Craft spins left or right. Adjust Yaw Trim.
Craft drifts forward or backward. Adjust Pitch Trim.

Gyroscope Recalibration
If the craft is having difficulty flying or is
behaving erratically, its gyroscopes may
need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to
do this while flying, safely land the craft
first and place it on a flat surface.
Note: The craft and the remote should
already be linked together.
Pull down and to the right on both control
sticks for 2-3 seconds. When the LED lights
have stopped blinking and turn solid the
recalibration is complete and the craft is
ready to fly.
Remote Trim Reset
If you are still having difficulty flying, it may
help to reset the trim adjustments on the
remote. Do not attempt to do this while
flying, safely land the craft first.
Press the Reset button on the remote. The
remote will chime once to indicate that the
trim has been reset to default.
Craft drifts left or right. Adjust Roll Trim.

Tips for Safe Operation
•It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like
power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.
•When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn towards them
if closer than 2-3 feet.
•Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the
same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the craft is airborne.
•Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the
craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time.
•Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.
•If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and
safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
Speed Setting
Press the Speed button on the remote to change the craft’s speed setting.
•Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the craft. The remote will chime once
to indicate the low speed setting.
•Medium: The craft will move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote will
chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting.
•High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to
indicate the high speed setting.
Headless Mode
Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the craft are facing the same “forward”
direction, otherwise the craft will not fly correctly. To activate Headless Mode, press the
Headless button on the remote control. The LED lights will slowly flash while Headless
Mode is ON. Press the button again to deactivate Headless Mode.
While Headless Mode is active the craft will fly in whatever direction the Right Control
Stick is moved, regardless of where the front of the craft is pointing. For example, if the
front of the craft was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push
forward on the stick the craft will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This
can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which
direction the craft is facing.

Auto-Spin
Press the Spin button to activate Auto-Spin. The craft will spin (yaw) in a clockwise
direction. Press the Spin button again or move the Right Control Stick in any direction to
cancel Auto-Spin.
Use the Left Control Stick to control the altitude of the craft while in Auto-Spin.
Flips
Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally
9-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any
obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage.
Press the Flip button to activate Flip Mode, then move the Right Control Stick in any
direction and the craft will perform a flip in the same direction. Press the Flip button again
to deactivate without performing a flip.

Using the Remote & App Together
It can be easier to capture photos and video by using the remote to fly the drone and using
the app in a viewing only method. Use the app and the remote together by attaching the
smartphone holder (included) to the remote and placing your phone in the holder.
Follow the steps below to connect to the remote and the app in the proper sequence.
•First, connect the remote to the craft like normal. Connecting the remote first
overrides any control signals from the app.
•Next, use your phone to connect to the craft’s Wi-Fi. Open the app and go to the Flight
Screen. Leave the Flight Controls off for the best view from the drone’s camera.
•Use the controls on the remote to fly the craft while the Wi-Fi camera streams to
your phone.
•When you’re finished flying, power down the remote and craft like normal.
