Charging the Battery Information & Procedure The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. To avoid risk of injury or damage, be sure the craft and remote control are both powered OFF and remove the battery from the craft when charging. Charging time is approximately 120 minutes. Charge fully before use for best performance. Connect the USB charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or USB power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the battery plug. While charging, the cable will display a red light. When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF. Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur. REMINDER: Do not charge overnight. Do not leave unattended while charging. 9

Flying Remote Link & Calibration Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate. Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the craft and remote powered OFF. Step 1 Power ON the craft and place it on a flat surface. This is necessary for the craft’s gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on the craft will blink as it searches for a signal from the remote. Front Be sure the craft and yourself are facing the same forward direction, this will help with orientation while flying. Step 2 Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from the craft. When the remote and the craft have linked, an audible chime will sound and the lights on the remote and the craft will turn solid. Step 3 Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully forward, then fully rearward, and wait for a chime. When this last chime has sounded, the gyroscopes on the drone are calibrated, and the craft is ready to fly. Step 4 Press the Start/Landing button to start the rotors. The drone will take off and hover at a set altitude. Use the controls sticks to fly. Press the Start/Landing button again to automatically land the drone and stop the rotors. 10

Flight Controls Yaw Pitch Altitude Roll Roll Yaw Pitch Altitude Left Stick controls Altitude Right Stick controls Pitch (forward/ (power) and Yaw (spin). backward) and Roll (left/right). When You’re Finished Flying After landing, keep the Left Control Stick (throttle) in the lowest position and wait for the rotors to stop spinning. Power OFF the remote BEFORE powering OFF the craft. This will ensure that no signals are accidentally sent by the remote, reducing the chance of injury. After this is done, it is safe to pick up and power OFF the craft. 11

Flying Trim Adjustment & Countering Drift Even after a craft is calibrated, it may still drift while airborne. To counter this effect you can adjust the trim for better control. However, adjusting the trim may not entirely eliminate drifting. Air currents and other factors can still affect the craft’s handling. Making Trim Adjustments Press the Trim button to enter Trimming Mode, indicated by a blinking indicator light on the remote. While in Trimming Mode, move the Right Control Stick ONCE in the opposite direction of the drift. For example, if the craft is drifting forward, enter Trimming Mode and pull rearward on the stick to correct. If the craft is drifting right, pull left. The remote will chime once for each adjustment. It may take multiple adjustments to set the trim to your liking. When you are finished making adjustments, press the Trim button to exit Trimming Mode. You can also wait 3 seconds and Trimming Mode will finish automatically. To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover and adjust one trim setting at a time to avoid confusion. Note: While in Trimming Mode, the Right Control Stick only makes trim adjustments and does not control the direction of the craft. You must exit Trimming Mode to resume normal flight controls. The Left Control Stick is not affected by Trimming Mode. Press to enter and exit Move Right Trimming Mode. Control Stick to adjust Pitch and Roll trim. Remote will chime once for each adjustment. 12

Gyroscope Recalibration Remote Trim Reset If the craft is having difficulty flying or is If you are still having difficulty flying, it may behaving erratically, it’s gyroscopes may help to reset the trim adjustments on the need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to remote. Do not attempt to do this while do this while flying, safely land the craft flying, safely land the craft first. first and place it on a flat surface. Press the Reset button on the remote. The Note: The craft and the remote should remote will chime once to indicate that the already be linked together. trim has been reset to default. Pull down and inwards on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. When the LED lights have stopped blinking and turn solid the recalibration is complete and the craft is ready to fly. 13

Flying Tips for Safe Operation •• It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc. •• When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn towards them if closer than 2-3 feet. •• Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the craft is airborne. •• Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time. •• Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing. •• If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again. Speed Setting Press the Speed button on the remote to change the craft’s speed setting. •• Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the craft. The remote will chime once to indicate the low speed setting. •• Medium: The craft will move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote will chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting. •• High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to indicate the high speed setting. Headless Mode Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction, otherwise the craft will not fly correctly. To activate Headless Mode, press down on the Left Control Stick on the remote control. The LED lights will quickly flash while Headless Mode is ON. Press the button again to deactivate Headless Mode. While Headless Mode is active the craft will fly in whatever direction the Right Control Stick is moved, regardless of where the front of the craft is pointing. For example, if the front of the craft was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push forward on the stick the craft will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which direction the craft is facing. 14

Auto-Spin Press the Auto-Spin button to activate Auto-Spin. The drone will begin spinning (yawing) in a clockwise direction. Press the Auto-Spin button again or move the Right Control Stick in any direction to cancel Auto-Spin. Use the Left Control Stick to control the altitude of the craft while in Auto-Spin. Orbit Before activating Orbit Mode, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, and no obstacles will obstruct its flight path. Press and hold the Auto-Spin button to activate Orbit Mode. The drone will begin flying in a circular path from its starting point. Flips Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally 9-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage. To perform a flip, press down on the Right Control Stick, then move the stick left or right, and the craft will perform a flip in the same direction. 15
