SHIFT RED User Manual CONTROLLING THE DRONE This section describes how to control the drone for takeoff, landing, and flight, and take actions for an emergency stop. Before proceeding with each maneuver, read the ‘Pre-flight inspection(14p)’ and ‘Precautions during flight(15p)’ subsections under Section 02 Precautions.
Aircraft Powering Off 1. Press and hold the power button on the aircraft for two seconds, and the aircraft will power off with the front LED and power LED on the bottom going off. Light Off Long-press the power button Powers off Turn off the aircraft only when it has safely landed.
Controller Powering On / Pairing with the Aircraft To secure a safe and accurate control experience, the controller needs to be placed at least 30 cm (1.0 ft) away from the ring when it is turned on. It is recommended to turn off/on the controller whenever the user moves to a different location to operate the drone.
Page 22
2. Press and hold the power button for at least two seconds to turn on the controller. After the welcome ceremony, the controller displays the battery level for about two seconds. Welcome ceremony (melody) If the distance between the Controller and Control Ring is within 3cm, the Controller will give off a warning sound and automatically turn off.
SHIFT RED User Manual Controller Powering Off 1. Press and hold the power button for at least two seconds to turn off the controller. If the controller does not turn off properly, use the reset hole on the bottom. Force the controller to shut down by pressing the reset hole with a pin of appropriate thickness.
Taking Off 1. Place the drone on a level surface in the same direction you are facing and pair the controller. The drone may not take off if it is: not placed on a stable surface, not placed on a horizontal surface, not placed in a bright environment, not placed on a flat surface, or does not have enough battery.

Page 26
5. When the drone succeeds in automatic takeoff, the front LED and power button LED on the drone blink once, and the drone stands by while hovering at a height of 1 m (3.3 ft). For details on controlling after takeoff, read the ‘Flight Control(27p)’ subsection.
SHIFT RED User Manual Flight Control 1. As shown in the figure, wear the control ring on your left or right thumb with the thicker part facing downward. Wrap your other fingers around the controller, and place your index finger on the jog button. The control ring is ergonomically designed with different shapes at the top and bottom;...
Page 28
2. While in hovering mode after takeoff, automatic control switching using the control ring allows the drone to switch to free flight mode. While the drone is hovering, place the control ring above the center of the controller pad for at least two seconds switch to flight mode automatically.

SHIFT RED User Manual 3. The drone flies by mirroring the movement of the control ring. Move your control ring-wearing thumb in the desired direction of flight, and the drone will fly in the same direction. ⓒ this is engineering Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Page 30
Your control ring-wearing thumb should be at an adequate height above the controller pad to allow better control over the flight altitude. The degree of acceleration or deceleration can be set proportionately to the distance moved by the control ring. Read the ‘Preference Settings(51p)’...
Page 31
SHIFT RED User Manual 4. When turning the head of the aircraft to the desired direction, turn the jog button accordingly. 5. If you press the jog button during flight, the controller vibrates once and the drone switches to hovering. The automatic mode switching function is disabled when in the hovering state after pressing the jog button.
Page 32
6. If the control ring is out of the sensing range of the controller, the controller vibrates once and the drone automatically switches to hovering. To prevent unintended loss of control over the aircraft during flight, the controller warns the user by vibrating at different levels as the control ring approaches the detection limit.
SHIFT RED User Manual Flight Mode You can switch between stable shooting mode and a free flight mode by holding the jog button during flight for over one second until the controller vibrates. Free flight mode is selected by default when the controller is initially paired with the drone. When the drone and controller are re-paired, the flight mode initializes into free flight mode.
Landing 1. While the drone is hovering, touch the center of the pad with the control ring for over one second to initiate automatic landing. During automatic landing, you cannot control the drone by moving the control ring. 2. Once the drone comes to a complete stop, the controller vibrates and the motors stop automatically.
SHIFT RED User Manual Emergency Measures Manual emergency stop · The drone motors stop immediately when you press the jog button and power button on the controller at the same time. Exercise caution as a manual stop in midflight may cause damage to the aircraft or personal injuries. Self-stopping of the drone ·...
Page 36
Self-stopping of the controller · In case of a sudden change in surroundings such as a temperature drop or battery shortage, the controller switches to self-stopping to protect itself and maintain the battery performance. · Once the controller switches to this mode, it vibrates and sounds for 30 seconds to notify the user of an emergency.
