We shall not be liable for damage to property or personal injury caused by incorrect handling or failure to observe the safety information! Such cases will void the warranty/guarantee. -
Page 8: B) Before First Use
b) Before first use • You must learn how to use and control remote-controlled quadcopters. If you have not used such models before, proceed with caution and learn how the model reacts to remote control commands. Be patient! • Ensure that there are no other models on the same frequency (2.4 GHz) within range of the remote control. -
Page 9: Battery Information
7. Battery information Batteries present numerous safety hazards. Compared with conventional NiMH rechargeable bat- teries, LiPo/Li-ion rechargeable batteries have a high energy content. For this reason, it is essential to comply with safety regulations to prevent the risk of a fire or explosion. Always observe the following safety information when handling batteries. -
Page 10: B) Additional Information About Lithium Rechargeable Batteries
• To charge the battery, place the charger and quadcopter on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface (e.g. stone tiles). Keep the charger and quadcopter away from flammable objects. Ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the charger and the quadcopter. •... - Page 11 • Always use a compatible charger to charge lithium batteries and ensure that the charging specifications are correct. Do not use NiCd, NiMH or lead-acid battery chargers, as these may cause a fire or explo- sion! Always select the correct charging specifications for your rechargeable battery. •...

Page 12: Preparations For Flying
8. Preparations for flying a) Inserting batteries into the remote control Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control. Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow (A) and lift the cover off the compartment. Insert two AAA batteries in the correct polarity (B). -
Page 13: C) Final Assembly
c) Final assembly The model is pre-assembled and ready for use. It features foldable rotors to ensure a compact design and to make the quadcopter easier to transport. The rotors must be folded outwards before take-off. To fold out the rotors, press the two unlock buttons (see figure 3, position A) until the rotors click into place (B). -

Page 15: Safety Features
10. Safety features The "Pocket Drone FPV" quadcopter and remote control come with a range of safety features to prevent the model from being damaged and reduce possible damage to a minimum. The LED indicator on the quadcopter and the optical warning signal on the remote control indicate when a safety feature is activated. -
Page 16: Before First Use
11. Before first use This manual uses the standard terms for controlling a quadcopter. These are used in aviation terminology and are in widespread use. Directions are given from the perspective of a "virtual" pilot. The direction is indicated by the red LEDs in the chassis (these indicate "backwards"). -
Page 17: B) Yaw Function
b) Yaw function "Yaw" refers to the rotation of the quadcopter about the vertical axis. This movement occurs either unintentionally due to the torque of the rotors, or intentionally to change the flight direction. The yaw is controlled by changing the speed of the individual rotors. -
Page 18: D) Roll Function
d) Roll function "Roll" refers to the movement of the quadcopter about the longitudinal axis (comparable to the sidewards movement of a ball or crab). One side of the quadcopter is lifted to make the quadcopter move sideways (independent of the forwards/backwards motion). -
Page 19: First Take-Off
12. First take-off a) Starting the quadcopter You must learn how to use and control a remote-controlled quadcopter. If you have not driven a similar model before, proceed with caution and learn how the model reacts to remote control commands. Be patient! Refer to the instructions in section 11. -
Page 20: B) Trimming The Quadcopter
b) Trimming the quadcopter The quadcopter is not 100% stable and may drift in a certain direction. This is caused by external factors (e.g. wind) and incorrectly calibrated sensors (gyroscopes). This is normal and the drift can be largely eliminated by calibrating the sensors and using the trim function. If the quadcopter drifts in one direction, trim the quadcopter in the opposite direction using the corresponding trim on the remote control. -
Page 21: D) Using The Automatic Take-Off/Automatic Landing Button
d) Using the automatic take-off/automatic landing button Important! The quadcopter must not be surrounded by any obstacles. This feature is therefore only suitable or use in large rooms/halls or outdoors. For safety reasons, people and objects must be at least 2 m away from the take-off position. -
Page 22: F) Flip Function
f) Flip function The quadcopter can make flip manoeuvres (360° turn). To use the flip function, move the quadcopter to a height of at least 3 m and make it hover at a sufficient distance from the pilot and other obstacles. Press the flip button (figure 4, position 3) on the remote control. -
Page 23: G) Headless Mode
g) Headless mode In headless mode, the quadcopter always moves in the direction of the remote control levers, regardless of its orienta- tion. For example, when you move the control lever to the right, the quadcopter will always move to the right (regard- less of which direction the quadcopter is facing). -
Page 24: H) Return Function
h) Return function The quadcopter features a return button that returns the quadcopter to the pilot. This button can also be used in head- less mode (see previous section). To use the return function, press the return button on the remote control (see figure 4, position 12). -

Switch the quadcopter on. The LEDs in the outrigger arms will start to flash and the quadcopter will emit a Wi-Fi signal. Switch on your smartphone. Go to "Settings/Wi-Fi" and connect your smartphone to the "REELY-xxxx") network. On your smartphone, launch the "REELY" app for the "Pocket Drone". -
Page 32: C) Other In-App Controls
c) Other in-app controls By default (see figure 14, position 5), the app is set to 30 % of the maximum steering range. This corresponds to beginner mode (see section 11) and restricts the impact of steering commands. An additional bar is displayed when you touch this icon again (figure 14, position 5). The steering range is now set to approximately 60 % of the maximum. -
