12 ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Please observe the following when using the SHIFT drone product to prevent
accidents and situations of potential legal liability.
· The SHIFT drone is not recommended for children
below 14 years of age. Children below 14 years of
age must be accompanied and supervised by an
adult guardian when ying the drone.
02
PRECAUTIONS
Age Recommendation
Compliance with Relevant Laws
Precautions
· When ying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), you
must observe the rules and regulations of the
authorities having jurisdiction over the relevant
airspace.
· The operation of drones is prohibited near airports
and areas where manned aerial vehicles are ying
at low altitudes. Borders and other areas where the
operation of drones may result in security issues are
classied as restricted. Please observe all guidelines
concerning altitude limit, ight prohibition, and
restricted zones.

13
SHIFT RED User Manual
ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
· Make sure that the drone and controller batteries are fully charged. The charging
status of the drone and controller can be checked using the SHIFT Drone application.
· Inspect the propellers. All propellers should be rmly xed. Worn, cracked, bent or
damaged propellers must be replaced.
· Make sure that the intelligent vision (camera) on the front side of the drone, and
the lenses and sensors of the bottom sensor system are clean and free of stains.
Pre-ight Inspection
· Pay special attention to the battery level of the drone and controller, and take the
necessary safety measures when the drone, controller, or mobile application gives
a warning. Read the “Emergency Measures” section.
· Check that the intended ight path is free of obstacles such as people, animals,
trees, and buildings (This product lacks functions such as return-to-home, and
collision avoidance or speed control based on obstacle detection).

ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.

· Do not y the drone in areas under the inuence of strong magnetic elds or magnets.
· The recommended ight conditions are mild weather conditions with a temperature
between 0°C–40°C (32°F–104°F). Be wary of sudden changes in wind direction or
weather. Do not use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow,
fog, and wind.
· Only use the genuine SHIFT RED propellers. Do not use together with propellers of
other brands.
· Do not attempt to grab or touch propellers that are in operation. Doing so may
result in serious injury.
· Keep a safe distance away from the drone.
· The distance between the drone and user should be no more than 300 m (984 ft),
and the drone should be controlled within visible range.
Precautions During Flight

SHIFT RED User Manual
ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved. 15
· Always use genuine SHIFT LiPo batteries.
· Inspect batteries before charging or use.
·If a battery has been shocked, or if you notice abnormal smell, heat, discoloration,
deformation, or signs of leakage from it, never charge or use the defective battery.
Precautions on Managing Drone and Controller Batteries
· In particular, a high density of Wi-Fi APs may disturb communications between the
drone and application. Before using the application, check your Wi-Fi environment.
· When the drone is ying over a dark (below 300 lux) or extremely bright (over 100,000
lux) surface, or toward a bright light source, its ight performance may be aected.
Check the surrounding brightness before operating the drone.
· The drone may not work properly when flying over highly reflective surfaces such
as water- or snow-covered areas, or when flying in dark.
· Exercise caution right after ight as the motor and aircraft are heated up from operation.
· Using the controller in the proximity (within 30 cm
[1.0 ft]) of other rings, metallic objects or magnetic
materials, near electronic devices that employ wireless
communication or run on motors, inside a steel-
framed building, or within the inuence of a utility pole
or a wireless station may aect the detection range of
the controller and controllability of the drone.

16 ⓒ 2019. this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
· The ideal temperature range for battery charging is 5°C–45 °C (41°F–113°F). Make
sure that the battery temperature does not exceed 60°C (140°F). An overheated
battery may cause serious damage or catch fire. Do not charge a battery near a
heating apparatus or flammable material, inside a vehicle, and any other area
exceeding 50°C (122°F).
· Do not expose batteries to moisture or direct sunlight.
· Keep batteries out of reach of children.
· Inserting the drone battery in the wrong direction may damage both the battery
and drone.
· Exercise caution when handling the battery immediately after flight as it is heated
up from operation.
· Do not modify or disassemble the battery wiring.
· Do not touch battery terminals with a pointed tool such as tweezers or a needle.
This may damage the battery and potentially cause a fire.

HANDLING THE AIRCRAFT
Before your flight, firmly mount all propellers in the correct positions. Note the
rotational direction of each propeller.
When detaching the propellers, use the provided removal wrench.
If the propellers are not positioned correctly, the aircraft will be incapable of normal flight. Ensure that the
propellers are mounted in the correct positions.

Attaching the Protectors
The SHIFT drone comes with two protectors, to be attached on each side during flight.
Attaching the drone with the protectors is recommended to protect the aircraft and
propellers. Read the instructions on attaching/removing protectors before flight.
Attaching the protectors
The inner side of the protector has a groove that fits the shape of the motor housing.
The mounting part is designed to be placed upon the arm of the aircraft. Push the
protector downward until in contact with the motor housing. Slightly stretch the
mounting part, and make sure it clicks into place.
Removing the protectors
The protector can be easily removed from the aircraft by holding its holed part and
lifting it upward.

Powering On / Pairing with the Controller
1. Press and hold the power button for two seconds after inserting the battery into
the aircraft, and the aircraft will power on with the power LED turning solid orange.
If the aircraft has successfully started up (taking approximately 9 to 10 seconds),
the front LED turns solid blue, indicating that it is ready for flight.
2. When the aircraft and controller are ready for flight, they are automatically paired.
The front LED and power LED on the bottom blink three times.
(For how to turn on the controller, see “Handling the Controller” > “Powering On/
Pairing with the Aircraft”)
After the power LED turns solid, the aircraft should be placed on a horizontal surface to start up with the front
LED turning solid.
