1. Before starting, make sure that the power on your controller is in the OFF position and the Sky Master™
battery is not inserted. Make sure that there are no other 2.4Ghz devices in the area as well .
2. Connect the battery to the Sky Master™ and set it down on a flat surface. The LED indicator
lights of the Sky Master™ should begin to flash (see diagram D).
3. Next turn ON the remote controller. After hearing a series of beeps, the Sky Master's
TM
flashing LED
lights will change to a solid glow signaling that the drone and controller have been synced. If this
does not happen, repeat all steps above.
FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the Sky Master™ outdoors 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 Sky Master™ with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the Sky Master™ in zero wind conditions.

ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARDS
Your Sky Master™ is equipped with 4 blade guards for beginner flying. These can be easily removed and re-attached
when needed. To attach the blade guard, remove the clip parts from the body as show on diagram V, insert each guard
into the socket on the body near the propellor as shown. Push the blade guards all the way into place on the slots and
adjust to ensure they have been locked in securely.
