Function introduction
1.Low-voltage protection:
In the condition of rotating aircraft’s fan blade,
when being crashed or stuck, aircraft’s circuit
will conduct over-current protection.
2.Over-current protection:
3.Horizontal correcting function:
4.3D eversion:
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.
Tips:3D eversion goes better when battery
power is enough.
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.
1. Forward definition
5.Headless function:
1. Turn on power switch of remote control.
If four indicator lights in the bottom of aircraft
start to twinkle, it means that the aircraft is
short of electricity and is not able to roll. At
that time, a return voyage shall immediately
be made to the aircraft.

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.

2. Switch to headless function and general function
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.
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)
3. Correcting forward direction
1. When the aircraft is in the headless condition, if
there is any deviation in the fixed-head direction,
it is necessary to re-fix the right direction of the
aircraft and stir the accelerator and direction lever
to the bottom left side.
Long-time shining of indicator lights on the aircraft
after slow flashing for 3 seconds shows that
adjustment is completed.

Battery replacement and charging method
12
Steps of battery charge:
Balanced charger:
1. Connect battery
switch with charger.
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.
2. Connect charger
to power supply
socket.
Charging time: about 200 minutes Flying time: about 7 minutes!
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.When finish 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.

Note: After turning on quadcopter’s power supply, it forbids to
insert or pull out the camera’s plug connecting to the aircraft.
1. Insert fan blade into principal axis pipe as shown in Figure (1).
2. Install the blade lockstitch inside the quill as figure (2) shows to ensure that
the gap of blade lockstitch aligns at the hole on the quill.
3. Install the iron shaft inside and rotate blade lockstitch for about ninety degrees
in the clockwise direction shown in figure (3).
4. Rotate and twist fan blade cover in clockwise direction as shown in Figure (4).
1. Rotate and back out fan blade cover in anti-clockwise direction as shown in
Figure (1) .
2. Rotate blade lockstitch for about 90° in the anti-clockwise as figure(2) till the
iron shaft point to the opening of blade lockstitch.
3. Get iron shaft out and pull blade lockstitch upward as figure (3) shows.

Problems Causes Solutions
Maintenance procedure
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.The remote-control unit suffers low
battery or the quality of battery is
not good enough.
2. Remote control with the same
frequency is transmitting interference.
1. Have no horizontal correction.
1.Change battery with better quality.
2. Change the place where has no
transmitting interference of the
same frequency.
1. Conduct horizontal correction, as
shown in p.9(3)(correcting function)
1. Define forward again, as shown in
p.9-10(5)(headless function)
1. Charge the aircraft.
2. Change remote control’s battery.
3. Adjust channels of remote control
and aircraft, and make them become
consistent.
1. Head deflection is caused by
multiple collisions.
2.Long time usage of headless mode.
Aircraft’s flying
response is
insensitive
When hovering,
side flight is
formed
In headless
state,
it deviates
to dead ahead
