The drones range is approximately 400 feet or 150 feet of altitude:

 

• Read and be aware of all warnings found on Page 1.

 

• Maintain your desired elevation by using the Throttle.

 

• Push the Throttle joystick to right or left to spin the drone.

 

• Use the right joystick to move forward backwards, and side  

 

   to side.

 

• Review step 5 if your drone begins to drift.

 

• Drone will begin to blink when drone is paired to remote 

  

   and battery is low. 

Follow this step if your drone begins to drift while take off or during 

flight.

 

• Drone drifts backwards: Press the forward Direction Trim 

Button.

 

• Drone drifts forwards: Press the Backwards Direction Trim 

Button.

 

• Drone drifts left: Press the Right Direction Trim Button.

 

• Drone drifts right: Press the Left Direction Trim Button.

There are two ways to land the drone:

1. Press the Auto Land Button. The drone will slowly begin to land. If 

     the drone begins to drift, you can still control the drone’s 

     direction using the Multi Directional Button.

2. Slowly and carefully press the Throttle Joystick down until drone 

     lands. If the drone begins to drift, you can still control the drone’s 

     direction using the Multi Directional Button.

• Drone is designed to be flown indoors and 

outdoors.

• Always make sure you have enough space to fly 

drone.

• Always follow warnings, page 1.
Step 3 – Starting Drone

1. Making sure your remote is off, slide drone switch 

to ON. Drone lights will begin to flicker.

2. Place drone on a flat even surface with clearance 

according to diagram (Fig 1). 

3. Turn remote on. Make sure the left stick (throttle) 

is in a neutral position (stick is centered). 

4. Push the stick up and then down.

5. A single tone indicates that the drone is paired. 

Drone lights will  flicker rapidly then turn on 

permanently once paired. 

6. If pairing is unsuccessful, repeat steps 3-4.

1. Slowly and carefully press the Throttle Joystick 

up. Drone will begin to elevate. You can 

compensate for some of the drones drifting by 

using the Multi Directional Button or by following 

Step 5. You may need to practice this step 

several times before successfully getting drone 

into the air.

2. You can let go of the throttle once you get to your 

desired elevation. The drone will engage its auto 

Once you are comfortable flying the drone, use the Stunt Button to perform acrobatic stunts.

 

1. Hover the drone to at least above 10 feet.

 

2. Press the Stunt Button. You will hear beeping coming from the remote.

 

3. Move the Multi Directional Button to the desired direction that you would like the drone to flip.

Once you are comfortable flying the drone, use the Auto Take Off Button for an easy take off. 

 

1. Turn remote ON.

 

2. Pair remote to drone: Bring the Throttle all the way up then bring it all the way down, remote will beep once paired. 

 

3. Press the Auto Take Off Button. Drone will begin to elevate. Drone will level out around 5 ft off the ground and 

      automatically enter into auto hover.

 

4. Now the drone can be controlled using both the throttle and the multi-directional joystick.

• Auto Orientation default setting is off. To enter this mode press Auto Orientation button. Remote will beep twice. 

• After drone is successfully paired, the 2 white LED lights toward orientation will be the original forward orientation, 

when drone is in auto orientation mode, the drone will orient to the user (remote), no matter what direction the drone is 

facing. Pushing the right stick up will send the drone away from the user, pushing it to the right will move the drone 

right, etc. 

• Remote will beep every 6 seconds to indicate the drone is in Auto Orientation mode.

• To exit mode, press the button. Remote will sound 1 long beep indicating that it has exited Auto Orientation mode.

• Make sure you have achieved level, balanced flight, where the drone is neither climbing nor descending. This mode 

allows you to safely and slowly land your drone without having to control the speed.  It is done for you automatically.

• The ideal auto landing height is 25-30 ft.

• Press the button to trigger auto land. Remote will beep continuously until you exit the auto land mode. 

• To steer the drone during landing, use the right control until drone has reached the ground.

• Press the button again to exit auto landing mode.

• Taking a picture – press camera icon on app once to take a picture. 

• Creating video – press video icon on app once to take a video. Press the video icon on app again to stop recording.

1) Drone battery needs charging. Use the USB Charge Cable to connect the drone to  

 

  power source.

After trimming the drone, the drone flight is very unstable and cannot fly properly:

 

1) One or more blades are most likely damaged;

 

2) Turn off the drone and remote.

 

3) Replace with the proper number replacement blade and try flying again.

After impact, the drone is unstable:

 

1) Put the left remote control lever to the left bottom and put the right  remote control lever  

 

  to the right bottom at the same time which connected to the drone (diagram to right). 

 

2) If the above does not resolve the issue, reboot the drone and controller and pair again.

If the drone blades will not stop spinning:

 

1) Put the left remote control lever to the right bottom and put the right remote control lever  

 

  to the left bottom at the same time. Hold for 4 seconds (Fig. 2). 

Remote Controller and Drone can not be paired:

 

1) Check Point: Remote Controller must be closed to Drone, not exceed 4 meters.

Note: If there are 2 sets of Drones within 4 meters for Pairing, you must pair one successfully before pairing the second set. 

Always be mindful of others privacy and do not 

record video or take images of others without 

their consent. Check and comply with your 

federal, state and local laws regarding privacy.
