POWERING UP AND PAIRING
(WITH ALTITUDE ON)
TOGGLE INTO MANUAL FLIGHT WHILE IN AUTO-HOVER
• Hold stunt button and press auto land/auto launch button
and a tone will sound from the remote. Make sure your
throttle stick is in the down position.
• After the tone is heard, move the throttle stick up until
the drone starts to rise. (If throttle is not matched in
5 seconds then manual flight will be cancelled.)
TOGGLE INTO AUTO HOVER WHILE IN MANUAL FLIGHT
• Press either the up or down altitude locking button to
toggle back into auto hover. (Your drone will hover at the
current throttle speed.)
TOGGLE INTO MANUAL FLIGHT BEFORE TAKE-OFF
• Hold stunt button and press auto land/auto launch button
and a tone will sound from the remote. Make sure your
throttle stick is in the down position.
• Push the throttle stick up to begin manual flight.
•
When launching the drone, face the same
direction as the drone. Green blades and green
LEDs should be in front.
•
If your drone drifts in any direction when you are
hovering, you will need to make Trim
adjustments to correct the driving. Trim
adjustments are sometimes needed when the
drone is first flown after purchase. See TRIM
ADJUSTMENTS section for details.
•
Practice launching, hovering and landing before
attempting to learn other moves.
•
Flying 2 to 3 feet above the ground will reduce
ground turbulence and make flying easier.
•
When first attempting to fly in different
directions, start by tapping the direction stick
until you have a feel for it. Always move controls
slowly until you become comfortable operating
the drone.
•
Once you’ve mastered flying in directions,
practice rotational controls. Spinning and
keeping drone facing the same direction as you
makes flying easier and more intuitive.
•
Stay 2 to 3 feet away from walls and ceilings
as drone will be drawn towards them if you fly
too close.
•
If propeller blades come in contact with
another object or you crash, throttle down or
auto land immediately to prevent possible or
further damage.
•
If anything prevents drone’s blades from
spinning or they become jammed, throttle
down or auto land immediately. Do not attempt
to fly until obstruction has been removed and
damage fixed.
•
Should something prevent drone’s blades from
spinning, drone may auto shutdown. LiPo
battery will need to be unplugged then
reconnected to restore flying power.
•
If the drone flies too far away, beyond the
control range of the remote, the drone will
auto-land to prevent the drone from flying away
out of control.
