Cable turns o. It takes about 30 minutes to recharge a discharged baery.
Make sure you only charge the rechargeable baery with the supplied
USB Charging Cable. Trying to charge the rechargeable baery with a
dierent baery charger might cause serious damage.
WARNING
1Open the Controller baery cover.
2 Install 4x 1.5V AA baeries.
3 Slide the Controller baery cover back.

Tips & Tricks
Sensivity Control
Controller Sensivity Control
The drone has two sensivity sengs: Low and High. The higher sensivity
makes the drone faster and more responsive.
Press the Direcon sck once to change the sensivity:
1 When the Controller emits 1 tone = Low sensivity mode.
2 When the Controller emits 2 tones = High sensivity mode.
Switching Modes
The drone can be switched from Normal Mode
A to Headless Mode. BHeadless Mode does
not require the pilot to dierenate the front
(head) posion of the drone, but simply use
the Direcon Sck for the drone to respond
correctly to the given input relave to the
posion of the controller.
To enter Headless Mode, press and hold the
Direcon Sck for 2 seconds. 1 The controller
will emit a series of beeps to conrm the drone
is now in headless mode. Press the Direcon
Sck again for 2 seconds to exit Headless
Mode. The controller emits a long beep tone to
conrm return to Normal Mode.

Advanced Flight: Performing 360° Flips
The drone can perform 360° front ips, back ips and side ips. Press the
3D Flip Buon 1, then push the Direcon sck 2 forward, backward,
right or le at the same me. The drone carries out the ip in the respecve
direcon.
Do not aempt these stunts unl you are able to y condently.
Choose an area that will provide a so landing (carpet or grass) and
maintain an altude of at least 10 feet/3 meter to allow room to
recover control as you pracce ipping the drone.

Direcon Trim
When hovering, if the drone ies forward or backward without moving the
Direcon sck, proceed as follows:
If the drone moves on its own forward/backward, press down the le joysck 1
and at the same me push the right joysck forward/backward 2to compensate
for the direcon deviaon. Keep the le joysck pressed down and keep trimming
with the right joysck unl the drone ies stable.
When hovering, if the drone ies to the le or right without moving the Direcon
sck, proceed as follows:
If the drone moves on its own to the le/right side, press down the le joysck
3and at the same me push the right joysck to the le/right 4to compensate
for the direcon deviaon. Keep the le joysck pressed down and keep

Replacing Rotor Blades
To replace a rotor blade, follow the steps below:
1 Gently remove the protector cap from the rotor top.
2 Use the Screwdriver to remove the screw.
3 Gently remove the rotor blade.
4 Press the new rotor blade onto the motor axis.
5 Fix the rotor blade by ghtening the screw with the screw driver.
6 Put the protector cap back in place and press it gently.
Each rotor blade is marked with a “B”
followed by a number at the underside. Be
sure to note the marking and the lt angle of
the rotor blades.
Front le: marking “1” or “3”
Front right: marking “2” or “4”
Rear le: marking “2” or “4”
Rear right: marking “1” or “3”
The “B” preceding the number can be ignored.
Calibraon
The drone needs to be calibrated if
it ies unstable.
Place the drone on a at and level
surface. Now push both the le and
right joysck, at the same me, to
the lower right corners and hold for
2 to 3 seconds. The LED lights on
the drone will start blinking rapidly,
indicang the drone is calibrang.
Aer 2 to 3 seconds the LED lights
will return back to normal, indicang
the calibraon was succesful.
Rotaon Trim
When hovering, if the drone rotates
to the le or right without you
moving the Throle/Rotate sck,
proceed as follows:
Press down and hold the le
joysck. 1While keeping the le
joysck pressed, move it to the le/
right to compensate for the rotaon
deviaon. Keep the le joysck
pressed down and keep trimming
unl the drone ies stable.

• This drone has small parts that may pose a choking hazard. Keep all small
parts and electrical devices out of the reach of children and animals. Pets can
become excited by radio-controlled drones.
• The drone is controlled by radio, therefore it is subject to radio interference
from many sources that are beyond your control. Radio interference can
cause momentary losses of radio control. Always allow a safety margin in all
direcons around the drone in order to prevent collisions.
• The controller and the charger are specially designed to charge this model.
Never use other charging equipments.
• Regularly examine the drone and controller for any damage to the plugs,
enclosure, rotor blades, baery covers and other parts. In the event of any
damage, neither the drone nor the controller should be used.
• When cleaning the drone or controller, use a damp cloth and wipe gently.
Avoid using chemicals, it can damage the plasc components.
Addional Safety Precauons
Baery Safety Instrucons
FCC Compliance Informaon (USA only)
• For the best performance, only use fresh 1.5V Alkaline “AAA” baeries in the
controller.
• Never operate the drone with low controller baeries
• The drone automacally switches o if the rotors are unable to rotate. Switch
the power to restart the drone.
• When not in use, store the drone in the original packaging with the baeries
removed from the controller.
• Always recharge the baery aer use in order to prevent it becomes deep
discharged. Make sure to allow a pause of about 20 minutes between nishing
the ight and recharging the baery.
• Even if the drone is not in regular use, recharge the baery occasionally,
suggested at least once in every 2-3 months.
• When transporng or temporarily storing the rechargeable baery, the
temperature should be between 5-50 C. Do not store the baery or the
drone in a car and do not expose it to direct sunlight. In case the baery is
overheated it can be damaged or catch re.
• Do not submerge the drone or the controller in water. This will damage the
electronic components and could pose a severe risk to the built-in baery.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operaon is subject to the
following two condions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operaon. Changes or modicaons not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
