control.
9.The supply terminals are not be short-circuited.
10.Discharge the battery to 40%-50% (On a full charge, fly for half of the total
flight time) if it will not be used for 10 days or more, this can greatly extend
the battery life.
11.Please keep a safe distance from the spinning propellers to avoid injury.
12.To ensure the electromagnetic environment requirement of the aviation
radio (station), using remote controls in the zone, which is in a radius of
about 5000m zone from the circle center of the airport runway, is forbidden.

cleaning with liquids before cleaning. Check the cord, plug, enclosure and
other parts of the transformer regularly. If any damages have been
discovered, please immediately stop using it, until it was completely repaired.
14.Never look steadily at the laser beam since the laser radiation.
15.Attention：Drone assembly under adult supervision.
16.The pilot is responsible for the safe operation and safe distance from
uninvolved persons and property on the ground and from other airspace

2.Over-Current Protection:
When the drone encounters direct impact
from a foreign object, or is obstructed, or
the blades are not rotating, the drone will
go into the over-current protection mode.
3.Level Calibration Function:
Place the drone on a level surface and at
the same time, push both left and right
joysticks to the lower right corners for 2
to 3 seconds; the indicator lights on the
drone will blink rapidly, and they will return
to solid status after about 2 to 3 seconds.
The level calibration is successful.
4.High/Low Speed Function:
Low speed by default when first powered-on.
Possible to switch the function mode of high/
low speed by pressing the right joystick for a
short time. It is switched into high speed mode
when two ”beep” sounds come from the remote
control, pressing the right joystick for a short
time under fast speed mode and then one
“beep” sound would come from the remote
control, then it is switched back into low
speed mode.
Note: The drone will have the best stunt flip action when the batteries
are fully charged.
5.360°Stunt Flip Function:
When you are familiar with the basic actions,
you can proceed to explore even more exciting
stunt actions. Fly the drone to a height of above
5 m above the ground, press the upper right
corner button (Stunt Flip Button) on the remote
control and simultaneously push the right
joystick to the farthest position of Front/Back/
Left/Right, the drone will now execute the
Front/Back/Left/Right stunt flip function.

After using the left joystick (throttle)
to control the ascending/descending
flight of the drone, release the left
joystick (throttle) and the drone will
hover at that height when the joystick
is released.
6.Auto Hover Function:
7.Headless Function:
①Defining forward direction:
●Press on the power button of the remote
control.
Front
Back
Left Right
●Connect the battery to the drone, press
the power button of the drone, and adjust
the specified direction of the drone’s head
under the headless mode as the new
forward direction.
●Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote
control up to the farthest position and then
pull down to the farthest position. When the
remote control issues a long “beep” sound,
it means the frequency and defining forward
direction functions are completed.
②Calibration for the definition of the front:
When the drone encounters a direct impact
with foreign objects in the headless mode, if
there is an occurrence of deviation of the
defined direction, it is only required to push
both the left and right joysticks to the bottom
left corners simultaneously after placing the
flying direction of the drone in the correction
position. When the LED indicator of the
drone turn to solid after slowly flashing for
3 seconds, it indicates the calibration is
complete.
-8-

③Toggling between headless function and normal function:
●After the drone is matched with the
corresponding frequency, the drone would
be in normal pattern by default. At this time
the indicator light on the drone would be in
a state of on for a long time. After pressing
in on the right joystick of the remote control
for 2 seconds, the remote control would
make a sound of “beep, beep, beep” to
show that it has entered into a state of
headless mode. Press in the right joystick
for 2 seconds then a long sound of “beep”
would be heard to show an exit status.
(When under the state of headless mode,
four indicator lights on the drone flash slowly
once every four seconds).
●Under the headless mode, the operator
does not need to differentiate the head
position of the drone, and only needs to
control the drone’s direction front/back/
left/right by using the right joystick direction
on the remote control.
