1. Fly in an open wide area without large obstacles like buildings, trees or electric wires within
100 feet as they may distort the GPS signals and you may crash the drone. Do not fly close to
metal structures with strong magnetic fields.
2. Place the drone on a flat stable surface before take off. After powering on, the drone will start
flight system checking and gimbal system checking by itself. Do not touch or move it during
this process as it may result in a failure and errors in calibration.
3. The drone cannot take off until it connects to enough GPS satellites and the Transmitter /
Smart Watch screen shows a “ ”. Do not start follow me flight mode until the watch gets a
GPS signal strength of 10 and shows a “ ”. If the drone has a weak GPS signal, move to
another area and try again.
4. Do not fly in strong winds, rains, lightning, snow or fog. Bad weather may weaken the
GPS signals or even damage Recon.
5. Keep the drone 15 feet away from people or animals when it takes off.
6. Max flying range is 3,250 feet but it is recommended to keep within 500 feet. Do not fly across
large obstacles. Always keep the drone within your line of sight.
7. If the drone suddenly deviates or keeps ascending (flying upward) due to surrounding
interference, immediately press the “hover” and “land” button to force Recon to land.
8. If the drone crashes by mistake, press the land button or pull down the left flight stick to
the lowest point to shut down the motors. Do not touch while the propellers are spinning.
9. Ensure all components are in good, working condition and fully charged before every flight.
10. Turn off the battery for the Recon, camera, and transmitter or smart watch after every use to
save battery life.

Preparing for Flight using the Transmitter
1. Place Recon on a flat stable surface and turn on the drone by pressing & holding
the power button on the battery pack. The drone will immediately start the flight
system check and gimbal system check when the front red LEDs turn on and the
rear blue LEDs quickly blink.
2. When the rear blue LEDs slowly blink and the drone makes a beep sound, this
indicates that the flight system check is complete.
3. When the gimbal is level, facing down, and the drone makes a second beep
sound, this indicates that the gimbal is ready.
4. Turn on the transmitter by pushing up the power switch. In a few seconds the
transmitter will connect to the drone when the screen enters the control interface.
5. Wait until the drone gets a GPS signal strength of at least 6 and the screen
displays a icon before take off. If the satellite signal strength is not stable, try it
in another area.
Warning:

Landing
If the drone is lower than 50 feet in the air, pressing and holding will make the
drone autonomously fly to 50 feet, slowly fly back to the take off point and land. If the
drone is higher than 50 feet it will maintain current height and slowly fly back to the
take off point and land.
If there is an obstacle in the way of returning home, you can still use the controls to
adjust the positioning of the drone to return safely.
Return Home
1. Slowly push down on the throttle stick to make the drone land. Do not push down
too hard or the drone may descend too fast and crash on the ground. After
landing, push the throttle stick to the lowest point and hold it for 5 seconds to shut
down the motors.
2. Pressing once will make the drone autonomously land at its current spot. The
drone may bounce a few times when landing, this is normal. The motors will stop
rotating 5 seconds after landing on the ground.
During auto landing, you can use the controls to reposition the drone if the landing
area is not flat or safe.
