Switch the quadrocopter Off. Connect the power cable to the unit making sure the arrow side of the connector is on top side facing the top of the Atom 1.0™ (see diagrams C1 and C2). CAUTION: The USB plug fits the charging socket only in one way. Do not force it. Improper connection will damage the Atom 1.0™.2. Connect the USB end of the cable to your computers USB port (see diagram D).3. The red LED on the USB plug lights up when charging is complete. Average charging time is 30 minutes. Note: If the red LED lights up, either the charging is complete or the USB plug is not properly connected. A full charge will allow for about 5 minutes of flight time depending on environment and user input.IMPORTANT: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO UNPLUG YOUR CHARGING CORD WHEN NOT IN USE!

When syncing your Atom 1.0™ 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 ensures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings. Your Atom 1.0™ 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 Atom 1.0™ are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the Atom 1.0™ and set it down on a flat level surface. The LED indicator lights of the Atom 1.0™ should begin to flash rapidly.3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear one short beep. The Atom 1.0™’s LED lights should now flash slowly. Push the throttle on the left all the way forward(1 beep) and then pull the throttle all the way back. A 2nd beep will sound and the lights should turn to solid. This indicates your controller and the quadrocopter are successfully synced. If not, repeat above steps. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Atom 1.0™ drones and controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.5. Each person will have to sync their Atom 1.0™ individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. After syncing a player’s Atom 1.0™, it should be left ON until all players have synced their Atom 1.0™ quadrocopters. 7. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and Atom 1.0™ quadrocopters for up to 60 seconds and then begin the process again.

GHIJN5 64 CHANNEL FLIGHT CONTROLS (ADVANCED FLYING)Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote control Atom 1.0™. While learning to fly your Atom 1.0™ it is best to start in a large space until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying your Atom 1.0™ you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques.

Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the speed and the Atom 1.0™ will decelerate and descend (see diagram G).While in the air, move the left Throttle stick left and the Atom 1.0™ will rotate counter-clockwise.Move the left Throttle stick right and the Atom 1.0™ will rotate clockwise (see diagram H).While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up and the Atom 1.0™ will move forward.Move the right Direction Stick down and the Atom 1.0™ will move backward (see diagram I).While in the air, move the right Direction Stick left and the Atom 1.0™ will bank to the left.Move the right Direction Stick right and the Atom 1.0™ will bank to the right (see diagram J).SWITCHING TO MEDIUM & HIGH SPEED MODETo change the Atom 1.0’s flight speed from the default (low speed) to medium and high speed flight mode:1. Sync your controller to Atom 1.0™ drone first.2. Take off and hover in the mid-air.3. Depress the control lever on the left side straight down as if pressing a button to switch modes (see diagram N).4. You will hear two beeps indicating that your drone speed changed to medium speed.5. To change to high speed mode repeat step 3.6. Three beeps indicates a speed changed to high speed mode.7. To switch back to low speed repeat step 3 again, you will hear one beep indicating low speed mode.8. Speed mode returns to low speed automatically once the remote is turned off. RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & REAR OF THE ATOM 1.0™Even though the Atom 1.0™ has four rotors, there is still a “front” or forward facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The front and forward facing direction of the Atom 1.0™ is the side with two gray propellers (see diagram E ). The rear and backwards facing of the Quadrocopter is the side with two black propellers (see diagram E). NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter displays WHITE LED lights and the rear of the Quadrocopter displays RED LED lights.EFRONTREARKLM3 CHANNEL FLIGHT CONTROLS (BEGINNER FLYING)Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote control Atom 1.0™.

Start by syncing the controller with the quadrocopter. Next, pull the right control stick on the remote all the way down and to the right (approximately 45º), thold for a couple of seconds then release. The LEDs on the Atom 1.0™ will flash quickly for a few seconds and then turn solid. This indicates your drone has been stabilized (see diagram Q).LOW BATTERY WARNINGIf the power indicator LED on the remote begin flashing it means you are running at low voltage and need to land the aircraft slowly and replace the batteries in the controller.If the LED lights on the quadrocopter begin flashing it means you are running at low voltage and you need to land the aircraft slowly and recharge the quadrocopter unit.WARNING: Do not attempt a 360º flip when you are given a low voltage warningPERFORMING A 360º STUNT ROLLOnce the Atom 1.0™ is airborne, 1. Press the right control stick straight down.2. Move the right control stick in the direction you wish to perform the 360º roll (see diagram R).

Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage to your Atom 1.0™’s propellers.1. Atom 1.0™ has four blades, two gray propellers on the front, and two black propellers on the back. Please note that the blades and the Atom 1.0™ body are labeled with an embossed A or B (see the diagram S).2. When replacing the propeller blades, gently remove the blade from the rotor shaft. Make sure to match both the color of the blade and the indication letter on the blade with the letter on the aircraft. 3. Replace the damaged blade with the correct blade.
