Battery Requirement for FIRE STRIKE PRO:
Requires: 3.7V LiPo Rechargeable Battery Pack (included and
installed)
Battery Requirements for Controller:
Rating: DC 9V
Requires: 6 x 1.5V “AA” size batteries (not included)
Safety Tips
• Read through the entire instruction manual before fl ying your FIRE STRIKE PRO.
• This product should be fl own only indoors.
• Make sure that you and other people stay 3 to 6 feet (or 1 to 2 meters) away from the FIRE STRIKE
PRO while you begin fl ight.
• Always keep your eye on the fl ying toy to prevent it from fl ying, landing, or crashing on or near your
head or body, or on other people.
• Never disassemble or attempt to modify the FIRE STRIKE PRO. You could damage the product and
create the potential for damage or injury.
• Never put your hands or face close to rotating parts. Doing so risks injury. Never operate the FIRE
STRIKE PRO while sitting on the fl oor or on a chair — always fl y from a position that lets you get out
of the way quickly if necessary.
• Always switch off both the FIRE STRIKE PRO and the controller when you leave the controller unat-
tended. If the power switch is left on, unintended stick operation might occur (for example, if the
controller falls face-forward onto the fl oor).
• Due to the dangers of the rotating parts no one under the age of eight should be allowed to operate
the FIRE STRIKE PRO.
• Never use parts that are damaged.
Operating Tips
• Always move the controller’s throttle stick to the down position after a crash.
• Do not fl y in direct sunlight or very bright lighting — these can affect the control system of your toy.
• Do not cover the infrared signal emitter of the controller. If you do, no signals can be sent to your FIRE
STRIKE PRO.
• Do not place any other labels or stickers onto the FIRE STRIKE PRO. These will interfere with its ability
to receive the infrared signal.
• Two FIRE STRIKE PRO models cannot be fl own on the same radio band.
Control Tips
• When moving the sticks of the controller, avoid pushing them immediately to the extreme positions.
They should be moved gradually like steering a bicycle, not sharply like operating computer game
joysticks.
• After completing the trimming procedure, beginner pilots should focus exclusively on mastering the
throttle stick fi rst. Even if the FIRE STRIKE PRO turns around a bit by itself, there is no need to keep it
fl ying straight — just learn how to maintain a constant altitude of about 3 feet (or 1 meter) with small
inputs from the throttle stick. After accomplishing that, you can learn to take control with the direction
stick.
Problem:
Blades can’t turn.
Cause:
• ON/OFF switch is OFF.
• Weak battery.
Solution:
• Set switch to ON.
• Recharge the battery.
Safety Tips
Trouble Shooting
Problem:
Fire Strike Pro suddenly stops fl ying and drops.
Cause:
Too little power.
Solution:
Recharge the battery pack.
Problem:
Loss of control.
Cause:
• Another infrared control device is interfering.
• Strong lighting is interfering.
Solution:
• Avoid other devices with infrared controls.
• Choose another fl ying location.
3. HOW TO LIFT-OFF (after Trimming):
• Place the FIRE STRIKE PRO on a smooth surface. An uneven fl oor surface will affect its take-off.
• Slowly increase the throttle.
• DO NOT look at the controller while fl ying. Focus on the FIRE STRIKE PRO.
• As soon as the FIRE STRIKE PRO leaves the ground, reduce the throttle slightly. Adjust the throttle as
necessary to maintain altitude.
• Gently add throttle if the FIRE STRIKE PRO descends.
• Gently reduce throttle if the FIRE STRIKE PRO climbs.
• For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will initially over-control the
FIRE STRIKE PRO.)
4. FLIGHT LOCATIONS:
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1. Indoors, with little air movement. Avoid circulating air from heating and air conditioning.
2. Room sizes should be at least 10 feet (3 m) wide x 10 feet (3 m) long x 8 feet (2.4 m) high.
3. Avoid fl ying in areas with electric fans, air conditioning, reading lamps or other objects that
could interfere.
2. HOW TO CONTROL FLIGHT:
Flying Your Fire Strike Pro (continued)
CAUTION:
Changes or modifi cations to this product not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

Up and Down Hovering:
From steady fl ight, slowly pushing the throttle stick upward will make the
FIRE STRIKE PRO fl y higher. To make it fl y lower, simply lower the stick a
little. Smooth fl ying takes only small changes in the stick position.
Left and Right Turns:
Hold the FIRE STRIKE PRO steady in the air.
Push the direction stick left to turn left, and
push the direction stick right to turn right.
Moving Forward and Backward:
Hold the FIRE STRIKE PRO steady in the air. Push the
direction stick forward to move forward, and push the
direction backward right to move backward.
