Battery Installation and Charging

Transmitter Battery Installation

    1. Press down the button (1) on the transmitter, and then follow the arrow (2) direction to push out the battery compartment cover.
    2. Insert 2 AAA batteries in the battery compartment with correct polarity.
    3. Close the battery compartment.

Charging the Drone

    1. Connect the USB cable to a USB socket.
    2. Switch off the drone. Insert DC plug into the charging socket on the drone. The charging process will begin automatically and the green LED on drone will light up.
    3. Unplug the charging plug when the LED turns off, charging is completed.

Note:

  1. The Drone can operate for about 4 - 5 minutes per every 30-45 minutes charging.
  2. Before recharging the battery, wait 10 - 15 minutes for it to cool down.


Remove these batteries from the unit by pulling up on one end of each battery positive by hand.

DO NOT remove or install batteries using sharp or metal tools.

Flying the Drone

(See picture D)

Flying the Drone


Piloting hints

  • For controlling the sticks on transmitter, try not to push the sticks immediately to any extreme positions. It should be like steering a bicycle rather than pressing computer game sticks.
  • For the novice pilot (after the trimming procedure is completed), it is highly recommended to focus exclusively on learning to control the left stick first. If the Drone turns around by itself there is no need to keep it straight. For the first flight, it is important to learn to keep the Drone at a constant left of around 1 meter with very gentle inputs on the left stick. Once the pilot masters this, he may start learning to take control with the right stick.

Procedure for PAIR / SYNC the Drone and Transmitter

2.4 GHz technology allows for many Drone to fly without signal interference. A connection, PAIR / SYNC, must be made between the Drone and the transmitter to function. Follow these steps to PAIR/SYNC the Drone and the transmitter.

  • Turn the Power Switch button to "ON" position on the Drone, the LED will gradually fade in and out. (D1)
  • Place the Drone on the ground with the tail pointing towards you and the noise pointing away.
  • Turn the Power Switch on Transmitter to "ON" position, the LED will gradually fade in and out. (D2)
  • When the LED on Transmitter become solid and LEDs on Drone flash regularly, the pair procedure is completed. (D3)

Self Calibration

Place the Drone on a horizontal surface.

Pull the direction stick to lower left corner and press and hold "Descend" button (D4) for 8 seconds. You will hear a "beep" sound. The rotors will spin and calibration proceeds. When "beep beep beep" sound presents meaning that the calibration is completed. You can control the Drone now. (Only do the Self Calibration when unstable flying of Drone is happened.)

Flight environment

Indoor environment with calm air. Beware of the air circulation from the air-conditioner.


There must not be any dangerous objects (electric fan, air-conditioner, reading lamp, etc) on the flight path.
