ARMS

All arms of the drone are folded before the drone is packaged at the factory. First, unfold the front arms, then unfold the rear arms.

UNIT BATTERY

Installation: Push the battery into the battery compartment at the rear of the drone. Make sure that you hear a click sound, which indicates that the battery is firmly installed.

The battery should be installed firmly. Otherwise, the flight safety of your drone may be affected. The drone may crash due to a power cut during the flight.

Removal: Press the lock button on the battery, and pull the battery out from the fuselage.

PROPELLERS

Installation:

1. An "A" or "B" is printed on the back of each propeller.
   
2. Lock the propellers to the corresponding motor shafts (the motor shafts are also marked) with a screw.
   
3. Rotate each screw clockwise.

• The propeller is installed before the drone is packaged at the factory.
• The drone will not fly unless the correct propeller is installed on the correct motor shaft.

Removal: For propeller removal, use a screwdriver (provided) to rotate counter-clockwise and remove the propellers.

PHONE HOLDER

1. Remove the dust cover.
   
2. Insert the phone holder into a slot on the top of the transmitter.
   
3. The phone holder can be adjusted to an angle you like.
   
4. Open the phone holder and put your phone in.
   

FLIGHT

All of the following operations in this manual use MODE 2.

* If you first pair the drone with the transmitter, then with the cellphone, certain app functions will not work. Conversely, if you use the analog control sticks in the app to control the drone's movements first, you cannot pair the drone with the transmitter then.

PAIRING

1. Long press the Power Switch Button to turn on the drone. The drone indicators start flashing.
   
2. Place the drone on a flat and level surface, with its head facing forward and its tail pointing towards the pilot.
   
3. Short press the Power Switch to turn on the transmitter. Once the transmitter sends out a long beep and the Power Indicator changes from blinking to solid, the drone will be paired with the transmitter.
   

CONNECT TO WI-FI

Connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network created by the drone. You can check the drone's status on the Deerc FPV App.

1. Make sure to turn off Bluetooth, Mobile Data, and VPN. Enter your phone's Wi-Fi settings and click Wi-Fi to search for the Wi-Fi of the drone. (Make sure to turn on the drone before going to the Wi-Fi settings on your phone)
2. Select the Wi-Fi network: DeercFPV-******.
3. Wait for a couple of seconds for your phone to connect to the drone's Wi-Fi.
4. Enter the Deerc FPV application.
   > The connection between your phone and the drone is established automatically.

Because the Wi-Fi network created by the drone cannot access the Internet, your phone may inform you in various ways, like saying the connection isn't secure, or there is no internet connection, etc. Please ignore these messages. Or, in the case of getting Pop-ups, choose the option that allows you to stay with the current Wi-Fi.

ONE KEY TAKEOFF/LANDING

1. Unlock: Short press the ( ) button to unlock the motors.
2. Takeoff: Short press the same button again, the drone will automatically take off and hover at 4 ft. At this time, you can control this drone by using the joysticks.
3. Landing: When the drone is flying, short press the ( ) button, and the drone will automatically land on the ground.

• You must keep your drone in visual line of sight all the time. If you can't see it, you can't control it.
• Pull the left joystick down to the bottom, and the motors will stop spinning. The drone is thus locked.

FUNCTIONS DETAILS

TAKE PHOTO/RECORD VIDEO

Take Photo: Short press the ( ) button on the transmitter to take pictures. The transmitter will beep once, and the drone's indicator will flash once. This indicates that the camera has successfully taken a picture.

Record Video: Long press the ( ) button on the transmitter to record videos. The transmitter will long beep once, which indicates that the camera has started recording video. Long press again to exit the recording. (You will hear two beeps from the transmitter.)

CAMERA ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

You can adjust the camera's shooting angle by rotating the camera manually. (The camera has a 90° tilt range.)

HIGH-SPEED ROTATION

Short press the ( ) button, the transmitter will beep once, the drone begins to rotate quickly. The drone will exit the High-Speed Rotation function automatically after 10 seconds, or you can also push the right joystick in any direction to stop the rotation.

CIRCLE FLY

Long press the ( ) button, the transmitter will make a long beep, which indicates that the drone has entered the Circle Fly function. The drone will exit the Circle Fly Rotation function automatically after 10 seconds, or you can also push the right joystick in any direction to stop the Circle Fly.

SPEED SWITCH

This drone comes with 3 speed modes (Low/Medium/High). Short press the ( ) button to switch between low, medium, and high speed. The transmitter beeps once to indicate Low Speed, beeps twice to indicate Medium Speed and beeps three times to indicate High Speed. (The Low Speed is the default speed mode.)

EMERGENCY STOP

The Emergency Stop function should only be used in case of emergency during the flight to avoid any damage or injury.

Short press the upper left and upper right buttons of the transmitter at the same time, the motors will stop immediately. Be aware that you risk breakage of the drone if it falls a large distance or hits anything at a high rate of speed.

360 FLIP

When you get familiar with all the functions of the drone, you can try this amazing flip mode. When the drone is at least 10ft from the ground. Press down on the right joystick, then push the right joystick forward/backward or leftward/rightward. The drone will do a flip toward the corresponding direction.

360°Flip functions better when the battery is fully charged.

AlTITUDE-HOLD FUNCTION

The drone is designed with altitude-hold function so the drone can maintain its altitude after you release the left joystick (the left joystick will automatically spring back to the middle).

HEADLESS MODE

The Headless Mode is a great training tool for beginner pilots. It is also useful when the drone is too far from the pilot (which makes it difficult to tell its orientation). It keeps the drone traveling forward, backward, left, or right when you move the right joystick in those directions, regardless of which way the front of the head of the drone points to.

The pilot should stay facing the same direction that the drone's head points to when it takes off.

Entering: Press down on the left joystick on the transmitter. The transmitter will beep continuously, which indicates the drone is in Headless Mode.

Exiting: Press down on the left joystick again, and you will hear two beeps which indicates the drone exits the Headless Mode.

* Why is the orientation of the drone important?
In normal flying mode, the control of the drone movement can sometimes be counter-intuitive for beginners. For instance, when the drone is in the air with its head pointing to your right, if you push the right joystick forward, the drone will fly to your right, instead of flying forward.
With the headless mode, the drone has a fixed "head." In Headless Mode, the drone always remembers the side its head points to during takeoff as the front side. This means that if the drone takes off with its head pointing forward, it doesn't matter how the drone is oriented in the air, when you push the right joystick forward, the drone will fly forward. Or, when its head is pointing to you, if you push the right joystick to the left, the drone will fly to your left.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

TRIMMER

The Forward Trim
If the drone tends to drift forward:

1. Press down the ( ) button and do not release it.
2. At the same time, push the right joystick backward one time.
3. Depending on how the drone drifts, it may take several pushes to balance the drone.
4. After each push, wait 2 seconds to watch the drone's movement. If it still drifts, push the joystick backward again.
5. Repeat STEP 4 until the drone drifts forward no more.

* You can also fix the Backward/Sideward Trim using a similar method, i.e., pushing the right joystick to the direction opposite the drift.

Trim adjustments are designed to counter drifts not caused by airflow.

CALIBRATE THE GYRO

Make sure to place the drone on a level surface before calibrating the gyro. Long press the Gyro Calibration button for 2 Seconds to calibrate the gyro. The transmitter will send out a long beep which indicates the calibration is completed.

ONLY use this function when:

1. There is no influence of air flow, AND
2. You CANNOT fix the drift using the trimmer function.
