WARNING
DO NOT FLY YOUR SPYDER XL™ IN FOUL WEATHER!

FLIGHT PREPARATION

• Verify that there are 4 "AA" batteries inside the remote control unit and the Spyder XL™ has been
fully charged.
• Make sure to be in a large open space preferably a field or a park with an open radius of at least 200 feet.
• Make sure to start your drone on a clean flat level surface before take-off.
• IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your Spyder XL™, it is not advised to use in any rate of
wind. Wait until a zero wind day or extremely light wind when learning how to fly.

SYNCING YOUR SPYDER XL™

Important! When syncing your Spyder XL™ with the controller always make sure that the drone is on
a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This insures that the
6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to respond to your trim settings. Your Spyder XL™ utilizes an
automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless
range with no interference.
1. Before starting, make sure that the power switch on your controller is off and the battery is removed
from the Spyder XL™. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
2. Insert the battery into the Spyder XL™ and set it down on any flat surface. The red and white LED lights on
top of the drone should begin to flash repeatedly.
3. Quickly turn ON the remote and you will notice that the top red LED light on the face of the controller
should also be flashing.
4. Push the left control stick all the way up until it stops and then pull it back all the way down to the
bottom(see illustration below). When pulling the stick down to the bottom you should hear a
high-pitched beep and the lights on both the drone and the controller should stop flashing and become
solid. If the lights on both the drone and the controller have stopped flashing and become solid you have
successfully synced your Spyder XL™ and are ready to fly. If the lights on the controller or the drone are still
flashing repeat steps 1-4 again.
• TIP 1: Try not to leave too much time between putting your battery into the drone
and turning on the controller or your syncing window will time-out.
• TIP 2: Syncing your drone indoors or in the shade will make it easier to see the LED
light indicators on both the controller and the drone.
