Important! When syncing your HD SONIC DRONE quadrocopter with the controller always make
sure that the quadrocopter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the
center position. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim
settings.
Your HD Sonic Drone utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to
fly side by side in the same wireless range with no interference.
For One Person Play:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and HD Sonic Drone are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
2. Turn ON the HD SONIC DRONE and set it down on a flat surface. The red LED indicators of the HD SONIC
DRONE should begin to flash.
3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear long beep, the HD Sonic Drone’s red LED lights should change to
solid, pull the throttle all the way down. Right now your controller and the helicopter successfully
synced , Should this not happen, repeat above steps again.
For Multi Person Play:
4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all HD Sonic Drones and Controllers are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
5. Each person will have to sync their HD Sonic Drone individually at a different time to avoid
interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also
making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time.
6. After syncing a player’s HD Sonic Drone, it should be left ON until all players have synced their HD
Sonic Drone quadrocopters.
7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and HD Sonic Drone
Quadrocopters for 60 seconds and then begin the process again.
PREPARING FOR FLIGHT
• Verify that there are 6 “AA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the HD Sonic Drone has been fully charged.
• Make sure your HD Sonic Drone and controller are both turned on.
• Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet.
• Make sure the empty space has no obstacles and river. Set your HD Sonic Drone on a clean flat surface before take-off.

LIGHTNING OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE BODILY HARM.
FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the HD Sonic Drone in a wide space. The ideal space should have a
200 foot radius.
• Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.
• If you are flying the HD Sonic Drone with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the HD Sonic Drone in zero wind conditions.
Wind can greatly affect the performance of the HD Sonic Drone.
RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & BACK OF THE HD SONIC DRONE

INSTALLING THE MICRO SD CARD IN YOUR HD SONIC DRONE
• Pop out the battery from the HD Sonic Drone.
• Place the formatted SD card into the back of the helicopters digital camera port. ( see diagram 3 below) Push
gently and consistently until you hear and feel the micro SD card “click” into the digital camera slot.
• Turn the HD Sonic Drone on and make sure that it is both fully charged and properly synced to the Controller
(see HOW TO SYNC YOUR HELICOPTER on page 4 ).
• When you have successfully installed your micro SD card and your HD Sonic Drone battery, you will see a
solid red LED light on the camera unit belly(see camera indicator light diagram 4 below).
NOTE: If you see a continuous flashing light in red and blue this means you have not installed your Micro SD
card correctly or there is a problem with your SD card. If this happens first make sure that the product is not
in Video Record mode and if not then please reformat and try again. If you continue to encounter problems
call our customers service line at 949.566.9573 Ext 1 for assistance.

CONTROLLER DIAGRAM on pg. 3), when you push the button you will here a "beep" and the red LED lights will
flash in blue color one time indicating that a picture has been taken. When the camera ready light becomes
solid red again you are ready for your next photograph.
RECORDING VIDEOS
To record a video first make sure that your HD Sonic Drone is fully charged and that you have correctly
installed the micro SD card in the camera port. Begin recording a video by pressing and hold the VIDEO
RECORD button on the front of the controller (see CONTROLLER DIAGRAM on page 3), you will here a long
"beep" and the red LED light on the HD Sonic Drone will flash in blue color constantly to indicate that you are
in video mode and the camera is recording.To stop the video recording, press and hold the VIDEO RECORD
button a second time.The blue indicator light on the belly of the camera will change to solid red indicating
that video recording has stopped and the Camera is in ready mode again.

Micro SD card in a clean, safe and cool environment.
