Precautions before flying
1. Please make sure that the battery power of the drones and the transmitter are
in a state of saturation.
2. Before turning on the transmitter, please make sure that the left stick is in the
middle position.
3. You must obey the right order of turning ON the power. Firstly, you
should turn on the transmitter, next to make the connection for the power
supply of the drone; While before turning off the power, you must disconnect
the drone first, then to turn off the transmitter. For improper order may cause
the drone out of control, thus may do damage to the safety of yourself and
others. So please cultivate a good habit of connecting and disconnecting the
power supply.
4. Please confirm that the connection between lithium batteries and motors and
other components is reliable. If there’s continuous vibration while flying, thus
may cause the loosen of the attaching plug. Finally, the drone will be out of
control.
5. Please confirm the directions of propeller rotation. Propeller A of the front and
rear propellers runs clockwise rotation. And propeller B of the right front and
left rear runs counterclockwise rotation.
6. Improper operation may cause air crash, and it may make the motor or
propellers work badly or make noise. Thus situations all lead to the flying state
or it can’t fly. If so, we suggest you to purchase new components from the
local seller to replace it in time. And thus the drone can return to the best state.
7. Please check to see whether the plug line connection is firm, be sure that the
gear can not be wound to sundries, and to ensure smooth skating, or it may
do damage to the driving motor.
8. If there’s loosening of a belt, running on the ground is one side or no driving;
And while flying, it make addle the propeller of a belt and cause a runaway
crash.

You are allowed to activate the heading hold mode function before taking off or in
flight. Fly under heading hold mode, you’re required to ensure the drone front
direction aligned with your front direction, DO NOT change your direction of your
transmitter and keep it fly in front of you all the time. (See the pictures below)
