If not already installed, install the included blade guards to every corner and tighten the screws. Make sure the blade guards are secure and snug. NOTE: Loose blade guards may interfere with propeller movement and cause a crash. If the drone crashes, double check to make sure the blade guard is not loose.

If you purchased extra batteries, allow the engines to cool between flights in order to prolong engine life.

2. If after 30 seconds, it has not recognized the drone, turn off the controller and repeat Power-On procedure. 3. If the Dronium One AP is unsteady in flight, it may not have been able to calibrate properly. Power down both drone and remote and restart pre-flight procedure, including re-calibration of the altitude sensor.

ALTITUDE SENSOR CALIBRATION BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, CALIBRATE THE ALTITUDE SENSOR. DO THIS BEFORE EACH FLIGHT EVERY TIME! TO CALIBRATE ALTITUDE SENSOR Calibration Button* Fig. 1 * Press down once to calibrate. Lights will flash quickly during calibration and then go steady when completed. Don’t worry if you press it again as it will simply recalibrate again.

Starting the Engine; Engine Idle 1. After synchronizing and calibrating the drone, move the throttle and direction sticks to the lower left and lower right corners (blue lines) and release to go into Idle mode. The blades will rotate but the drone will not lift.

FIRST TIME FLYERS!!! TAKE YOUR TIME! GO SLOW! Practice hovering until you are comfortable with flight before attempting any other maneuvers. Make small movements letting the stick return to the center. If you start to lose control, don’t panic. Just press land. Pull the throttle left or right, the drone turns to the left or right.

TIPS ON 3D FLIPS Once you are familiar with the basics of drone flight, you can try some ad- vanced maneuvers! At a height of at least 10 feet, press the Flip mode button and move the direction lever in any desired direction to execute the flip. The remote will beep quickly when you are in stunt mode and will stop beeping once you have executed the flip.

The Dronium One AP features multiple speed modes. Choose the speed based on flight experience and level of comfort. At higher speeds, the drone will pitch more than at lower speeds. Dronium One AP is quite fast at its highest speed and requires more piloting skills to fly competently.

SIDEWAYS TRIM When the drone drifts to the left or right side unintentionally, you can correct it by pressing the trim button in the opposite direction until it evens out. FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM When the drone drifts forward/backward unintentionally, you can correct it by pressing the trim button in the opposite direction until it evens out.

1. To synchornize, turn on aircraft first, place it on level ground, and then turn on controller. 2. Charge aircraft and/or replace batteries in controller 1. Re-synchronize aircraft and controller. 2. Recalibrate the Altitude Sensor. 3. Reset the trim buttons on the controller and re-trim flight controls.

HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS To prevent “fly-away” situations (where drones seem to fly away out of con- trol) it is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the drone fly too far away. Each drone is designed land if the radio signal is lost. (But, this should not be considered a landing procedure or normal flight practice.) It is important to know and test the range of your drone before flying.
