Safety regulations
1. Please put smaller parts of the aircraft in the place where children can't reach,
avoiding from accidents.
2. Power of this aircraft is adequate. Therefore, when flying for the first time, it
should push remote control's right/left variable-speed joystick slowly, avoiding
from collisions caused by rising aircraft rapidly.
3. After flying, it should turn off remote control's power supply and come close to
the aircraft to turn off its power supply.
4. Please don't put battery in high-temperature and heated places(such as fire or
nearby electric heating devices).
5. When the aircraft flies, it should maintain 2-3 meters from the user or others,
avoiding from crashing into others' head, face or body when it lands.
6. When children operate the aircraft, they should be accompanied with the adult
and guided by the adult. Ensure that the aircraft is controlled within the range
of operator's (or instructor's) visibility. It is convenient for controlling.
7. Non-rechargeable battery can't charge. As installing or changing battery,
pleasepay attention to the polarity. Don't use a mixture of old and new battery
or battery with different types.
8. When it isn't used, it should turn off remote power supply of remote control and
aircraft, respectively, and take out the battery in remote control.
9. Power supply terminal can't be short circuit.
Maintenance
1. Use clean soft cloth to clean this product frequently.
2. Avoid from exposure or heating in the sun.
3. Don't put the toy in the water. Otherwise, it'll damage electronic parts.

Function introduction
1.Low-voltage protection:
When four indicator lights on the bottom
of aircraft start to flicker, it means electric
quantity of the aircraft is insufficient. Please
control the aircraft to make a return voyage.

Ready to fly your quadcopter
.Press the ON/OFF
power switch up.
2. Open battery cover,
and connect battery
connector with dash
receiver.
3. Enclose battery into
the fuselage, after
closing battery cover,
turn on the switch on
the bottom of aircraft.
4.Push the throttle lever to the highest position,
and then pull it back to the lowest position.
There will be one clear sound from the transmitter,
this shows that the quadcopter has entered into
the pre-fly state.

2.Low-voltage protection:
When four indicator lights on the bottom of
aircraft start to flicker, it means electric
quantity of the aircraft is insufficient.
Please control the aircraft to make a
return voyage.

3.Horizontal correcting function:
Place the quadcopter on a horizontal postion,
then push transmitter both left and right lever
to lowest right conner for about 2-3 second ,
indicator on the quadcopter changed from
normal lights up to quickly flashing ;After 2-3
second ,the indicator changed to normal lights,
it means the quadcopter restarted /reset successfully.
4.3D eversion:
When you are familiar with the basic operation,
you can do some awesome& exciting tricks and
stunts! First of all,fly the aircraft to a height of
more than 3 meters, press the 3D Eversion
switch on the rear right side of the transmitter,
then push the right rudder(in any direction)
to make 360 degree flip.
Tips:3D eversion goes better when battery
power is enough.
5.Headless function:
1. Forward definition
1. Turn on power switch of remote control.
2. After aircraft connects with power supply, place the
switch in "ON" position, adjust the direction pointed
by aircraft's handpiece and regard it as the dead
ahead in headless situation.
3. Push the accelerator's push rod of remote control to
the highest point and pull back to the lowest point.
When remote control pops, it indicates that frequency
modulation and forward definition have already finished.
-8-

2. Switch to headless function and general function
1 After frequency modulation, the aircraft defaults to
general pattern. The indicator light on aircraft is long
bright state. After pressing down headless function
switch on the top left of master remote controller for
2 seconds, remote control will give out "DDD...", it
means that it enters into headless state. After pressing
for 2 seconds and hearing long "D", it means that it exits
headless state.(In headless mode, four indicators on the
aircraft flicker slowly for once within four seconds)
2. In headless state, the operator has no need to
recognize the position of aircraft's headpiece, and he
just needs to control the aircraft in accordance with the
direction of remote control's operating rod.
3. Correcting forward direction
1. After aircraft crashes in headless state, if there is
deviation in head direction, it just needs to adjust the
aircraft's direction again, pull remote control's
accelerator and operating rod to bottom left
simultaneously. When indicator light on the aircraft
flickers for slow three seconds, it means that correction
is done.

socket.
1. Insert adapter's DC outlet into import socket of balanced charger. Red light
of balanced charger will light on.
2. Insert three-position balanced plug of power battery to output end of charger.
Green light of balanced charger will light on. When green light extinguishes,
it means the end of battery charging.
(Charging time is less than 200 minutes)
Note: if power battery inserts into the charger, the light has no change. It
indicates that this battery is full energy. There is no need to recharge.
Charging time: about 200 minutes Flying time: about 7 minutes!
Cautions when charging:
1.When charging, please put this product on a dried or ventilated area and keep
it far away from heat source or explosive product.
2.When charging, please remove the batteries from the quadcopter. Then
charging process should be supervised by an adult so as not to cause an
accident.
3.After flying, please do not charge the battery if the surface temperature is still
not cool. Otherwise it may cause a swollen battery or even a fire hazard.
4.Please make sure that you use the original USB charging cable provided.
When the battery has been used for a long time, or appears to be swollen,
please replace them.
5.A battery when not in use for a long time will lose its charge automatically.
Charging or discharging too often may reduce the life of the battery.

Maintenance procedure
Problems Causes Solutions
Aircraft has
no response
1. Aircraft enters into low-voltage
protection.
2. Electric quantity of remote control is
insufficient, power indicator light will
flicker.
3. Channel selection of remote control
is inconsistent with aircraft's match
codes.
1. Charge the aircraft.
2. Change remote control's battery.
3. Adjust channels of remote control
and aircraft, and make them become
consistent.
Aircraft's flying
response is
insensitive
1. Insufficient remote control's electric
quantity.
2. Remote control with the same
frequency is transmitting interference.
1. Battery replacement.
2. Change the place where has no
transmitting interference of the
same frequency.
When hovering,
side flight is
formed
1. Have no horizontal correction.
1. Conduct horizontal correction, as
shown in p.8(3)(correcting function)
In headless
state,
it deviates
to dead ahead
1. Head deflection is caused by
multiple collisions.
1. Define forward again, as shown in
p.8(5)(headless function)
