INTRODUCTION
PRECAUTIONS
This drone is designed for outdoor flight. Please make sure there are no obstacles in
the flight path of the drone. Colliding into an obstacle while flying may damage the
drone. Make sure there is little to no wind when flying outside. Only fly the drone
when people are a safe distance away. Do not fly the drone within the vicinity of a
crowd. The spinning rotors may cause injury if the drone comes in contact with
someone.
Do not fly the drone outside when it is raining. Do not fly the drone close to open
water. If the drone’s comes in contact with water, it may short circuit the electronics
and damage the drone.
Do not modify or add anything to the drone. Modifying the drone may change its
ability to fly properly causing it to crash. Do not disassemble the drone.
Make sure the AA batteries in the transmitter are installed with the correct polarity.
Do not mix rechargeable AA batteries with non-rechargeable AA batteries. Do not
dispose of drained AA batteries into a fire. Batteries may explode if disposed in a fire
causing injury. Remove the AA batteries in the transmitter if you are not going to fly
the drone for a long period of time. Store AA batteries in a cool dry place. Keep AA
batteries away from heat.
The drone’s battery pack is Lithium polymer. LiPo batteries pose higher operational
risks compared to other battery packs so it’s important to follow the instructions when
using the battery. Manufacturer and dealer assume no liability for accidental
damages caused by improper usage.
Do not use a charger other than the factory supplied charger to avoid causing a fire or
damaging the battery pack. Do not try to disassemble, crush, burn or reverse polarity.
Make sure there are no metallic materials close to the contacts of the battery. Do not
charge the battery unsupervised.
Do not charge the battery overnight. Over charging the battery may damage it,
causing it to not hold a charge. Stop using or charging the battery if you notice the
battery temperature has increased more than usual.
The drone is made out of various plastics and metal. Plastics are very susceptible to
damage or deformation due to extreme heat and cold temperatures. Make sure not
to store the drone near any source of heat such as an oven or heater. It is best to
store the drone indoors in a climate controlled room temperature environment.
Thank you for purchasing this amazing World Tech Toys product. This drone is suitable for outdoor
flight. Please carefully read the entire manual before operating this drone and keep it for reference
in the future.

LAUNCH TOSS
Resetting may be necessary if trim adjustment is not working. Turn
on drone and place on a flat surface. Turn on transmitter and pair
to drone. Pull both joysticks to the bottom left corner, lights will
flash then return to normal when reset is complete.
After pairing with the transmitter you can launch your drone simply by tossing it in the air
and pushing the throttle joystick straight up. The 6-Axis Gyroscope technology allows the
drone to automatically stabilize, level itself out and hover smoothly while airborne.

FLIP STUNT MODE
ALTITUDE LOCK
HEADLESS MODE
AUTO RETURN
Have the drone hover at least 10 feet off the ground. Press the Flip
Stunt Button and push the right joystick in the direction you want the
drone to perform a single flip.
Pull the left joystick to the bottom left corner and the right joystick
to the bottom right corner to activate Altitude Lock. This makes the
drone keep its altitude without your input. Adjust throttle up or
down with the left joystick returning to the center to change current
altitude. Joystick will spring back to center after adjusting.
When flying you must know which direction your drone is facing to
control properly. Activate Headless Mode by pressing/clicking in on
the left joystick. The drones directional input on the right joystick
will now be mapped to your position so Up/Forward, Right/Right,
Left/Left, and Down/Backward. Normal function is returned by
pressing/clicking in on the left joystick again.
When you want to return the drone to you quickly and easily use
the Auto Return function. Fly the drone so that it is in front of you
and press/click in on the right joystick to start the function. While
returning you still control the throttle to safely land your drone.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the drone is hovering at least 10 feet off the ground before
performing the flip stunt. The flip stunt will cause the drone to drop
approximately 6 feet. If you perform the flip stunt while being less than
10 feet off the ground, the drone could crash.
