After Signal Connection has been successful, the drone enters the initialization detection procedure. Make sure that the drone is set on a flat and level surface for this step. In this time, the yellow red green light flash alternately. If the aircraft is always in initialization, can't enter compass calibration. Please place the aircraft in ground, let the aircraft do gyro calibration to exit the initialization. The initialization process takes about 8 seconds. The process is done once the front and the rear lights glow yellow and flash alternately. Now the drone will enter Compass Calibration mode.
ATTENTION: Please make sure that the drone is set on a flat and level surface for the initialization detection procedure to be successful. If the aircraft is always in initialization, can't enter compass calibration. Please place the aircraft in ground, let the aircraft do gyro calibration to exit the initialization.
Two Steps for Compass calibration:
ATTENTION:
Once the drone has been calibrated, set drone on a flat surface. Now, push down both of the control sticks to the lower-left corner and release (as indicated in photo below). When the front light shows green and flashing rapidly, it means that the gyroscope is under calibration status. When the light on your drone turns solid color the calibration is successful.
Unlock the Drone:
Press the Unlock button. The motors and propellers will begin to rotate and spin. The drone is now ready for liftoff. (If you do not activate takeoff within 15 seconds, the motor/propellers will automatically stop spinning. )
Locking the Drone:
There are 3 methods to control the drone in case of event of the following situation.
Methods
If you lose control of the drone, please follow the step outlined below to avoid the drone from flying off: Turn off the remote controller - The drone will automatically return (when the GPS signal connection is good with at least 7 satellites). Turn off the remote controller – After 6 seconds, the drone will start to slowly descend until it lands on the ground and will self-lock (when there is no GPS signal or the GPS signal is weak; satellites number is less than 7). Long-press the RED button and push the throttle to the down. This will activate the "Emergency Stop" function and the drone will stop flying and perform a sudden stop. (This is not recommended as it can cause damage to the drone and endanger the safety of others).
When the drone lands and the motors stop, the drone will be locked. (Please refer to locking instructions.) You must unlock the drone again in order for takeoff.
By rotating the aircraft's camera manually, the shooting angle of gimbal camera will be adjusted. Please adjust the angle according to the using situation.
Manual Controls:
Switch or slide the GPS button to the down. This will turn off the GPS function and the drone can now be operated manually (recommended for more advanced users). You will see the GPS Icon disappear from the LCD display.
The drone cannot fly with precise positioning and hovering without GPS enabled (turned ON). We only recommend you try this if you are an experienced pilot.
GPS Mode
GPS mode enables precise positioning and prevents drone loss. Simply move the GPS switch to the above side ("On") position before operating the drone to use all of the GPS features such as "Return-To-Home" and "Low Battery Return-To-Home." (Note - You must wait until you achieve a GPS signal of at least 7 satellites before flying the drone with GPS feature enabled.)
The Return-to-Home (RTH) procedure brings the drone back to the last recorded Home Point. There are 3 types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Fail-Safe RTH and Low Battery RTH. The following section describes the Home Point and GPS signal in detail.
GPS | Description | |
Home Point | ![]() | The Home Point is the location from where the drone takes off. A strong signal of at least 7 satellites must be present prior to take off in order for the drone to remember the home point. |
Smart RTH
If a strong GPS signal is available (more than 7 satellites on the LCD screen) and the Home Point is recorded at takeoff, press the Return-To- Home button. The drone will fly back to the Home Point. You must use the Remote Controller to guide the drone around any obstacles during the Smart RTH procedure. You can press the RTH button again to exit RTH procedure and regain the control of the drone.
PLEASE NOTE: The drone does not have sensors allowing it to avoid obstacles. The drone must always be flown in a wide-open area and must be manually controlled to avoid obstacles. Use caution when using the Return-To-Home (RTH) function and make sure the drone does not end up on a rooftop, a tree, or any other obstacle that may be in the way during return and descent.
Fail-Safe Return
Fail-Safe RTH will be triggered if the remote controller signal is lost for more than 6 seconds. The GPS control system will guide the drone automatically to the last recorded Home Point. Regain control of the drone by pressing the RTH button if the remote controller signal is recovered.
Low Battery Return-To-Home (RTH)
The drone will perform a Low Battery Return-To-Home function when the Battery is low. If the Battery icon on the LCD screen shows " ", the rear lights flash red slowly and you will hear a steady "DiDiDi...DiDiDi" sound. This is a notification that your drone's Battery is low and it is time to bring it home. If the drone's altitude is over 100 feet or the drones distance is 328 feet away, the drone will automatically fly back to the original Home Point. If the Battery icon on the LCD screen shows "
", and you hear a steady "Di...Di" sound, this is a notification that your drone's Battery is very low and it is time to bring it home. If the drone's altitude is over 45 feet or the drones distance is over 45 feet away, the drone will automatically fly back to the original Home Point. If the drone flying altitude is less than 45 feet or the flying distance is less than 45 feet, then drone will automatically land to the ground.
You can regain control of the drone by pressing the RTH button if the Battery icon on the LCD screen shows " ". But when the Battery icon on the LCD screen shows "
", you can not regain control of the drone by pressing the RTH button.
