ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
Before each use, an adult should check this product and the LiPo battery to ensure no damage or
hazards exist. Drone has rotating blades that move at high speed, posing danger of damage and
injury. Pilots are responsible for any actions that result in damage or injury from the improper
operation of Drone. Adequate flying space is required. Avoid flying near interior fans and/or vents as
they may make flying difficult to control. Keep a safe distance away from streets, public thoroughfares
and power lines. Never attempt to retrieve Drone from any location higher than your reach (such as
rooftops or trees) or from any location that poses a safety hazard. Never fly Drone at night. Keep
Drone in sight at all times during operation. Discontinue operation immediately if Drone flies out of
your field of view. Do not fly near spectators or animals. Pets can become excited about R/C vehicles
therefore keep away from pets at all times. Keep spinning rotors away from fingers, hair, eyes and
other body parts. Always launch from a flat surface. Never leave Drone unattended while it is turned
on. Read all enclosed information before operating.

BLADE GUARDS FOR BEGINNERS
Blade guards are great for beginning pilots and can
be easily installed if desired. The guards however add
undesired weight and reduce flight performance.
Blade guards are optional and should NOT be used
with Advanced Flight Sensitivity setting 3.

the holes of the drone.
Secure the blade guards with the retaining screws.

CHARGING, INSTALLING & CARING FOR
LIPO BATTERY IN THE DRONE
1

Disconnect the LiPo battery connectors hanging out from the
back of the drone.

Plug the red male connector from the LiPo battery into the black
female connector end of the USB charging cord.

Plug the USB end of the charging cord into a USB power
source and charge battery until full.

RED LIGHT = CHARGING
GREEN LIGHT = FULLY CHARGED

Once fully charged, disconnect the charing cord from
battery and power source. (Always unplug from power
source when not in use).

IMPORTANT:
LiPo battery can be removed from Drone by loosening
battery compartment screw, opening door and removing
the battery. When replacing the battery, be careful not
to pinch battery connector wires when closing the door.
Also ensure that wires protrude through open slots on
the sides of the battery door as shown. Make sure there
is sufficient wire slack for easily connecting and
disconnecting plugs, but not so much slack that wires
interfere with spinning blades.
CHARGING PRECAUTIONS:
After use, allow LiPo battery to cool down to room temperature before charging again.
t Charge LiPo battery in an isolated area, away from excessive heat or moisture.
t If LiPo battery swells, unplug it immediately and permanently discontinue use.
t Do not modify, heat, or wet the battery in any way. Only recharge with provided charger.

WARNING!
IF AT ANY TIME DURING CHARGING OR USE THE BATTERY BECOMES DAMAGED IN ANY WAY,
DISCONTINUE CHARGING OR USE OF THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY.
Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has been damaged can result in a fire.
Quickly and safely disconnect the Drone from charging and place away from flammable
materials. Observe the battery for at least 30 minutes to be certain no additional swelling
or rupture occurs. Completely discharge the battery by submerging it in a saltwater
solution (1/2 cup salt per gallon of water) for 24 hours.
Check your local laws and regulations for correct recycling and/or battery disposal.
WHEN NOT IN USE:
t Always UNPLUG the Drone’s LiPo battery when not
in use or when Drone is being stored or transported.
t Store the LiPo battery and Drone in a dry area at
room temperature.
t Avoid temperatures less than 40°F/4°C and greater
than 120°F/49°C.
t Do not leave the LiPo battery in a car or exposed to
direct sunlight. If exposed to temperatures greater
than 120°F/49°C, the LiPo battery can be damaged
or may catch fire.

AUTO SHUTDOWN:
t If battery voltage drops to an extremely low level, Drone will automatically shutdown.
The Video Drone will need to be recharged to restore flying power.
t If anything prevents Drone’s blades from spinning or they become jammed, Drone will
automatically shutdown. The LiPo battery will need to be unplugged, then reconnected to
restore flying power.

FLIGHT SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Drone responsiveness may be adjusted on the
Controller to match your flying skills.
There are three choices:
1. BEGINNER – 2. INTERMEDIATE – 3. ADVANCED
It is best to start in BEGINNER MODE 1 until you
have mastered flying. Flight sensitivity can be adjusted
before or during flight.
1 - BEGINNER

IMPORTANT: Advanced Mode 3 is a
performance flight setting for OUTDOOR USE
ONLY. Blade guards and camera module
MUST BE REMOVED for proper flight operation in Mode 3.

2 - INTERMEDIATE

IMPORTANT: YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW
SECONDS AFTER THE LIPO BATTERY IS
PLUGGED IN TO PLACE DRONE ON A
LEVEL SURFACE FOR PROPER CALIBRATION. IF DRONE DOES NOT RISE TO A
STABLE HOVER OR FLIES ERRATICALLY,
REPEAT STEPS 1 THROUGH 6.

you may need to make trim adjustments. Safely land Drone on a level surface. Press the
recommended Trim button once as described below. Launch the Drone back into the air and
attempt another still hover. If Drone continues to drift, repeat the process until a still
hover is achieved:

FLYING TIPS
t

When launching the Drone, face the same direction as the Drone. Green blades should be in front.

Practice launching, hovering and landing before attempting to learn other moves.

Flying 2 to 3 feet above the ground will reduce ground turbulence and make flying easier.

When first attempting to fly in different directions, start by tapping the Direction stick until you have a
feel for it. Always move the controls slowly until you become comfortable operating the drone.

Once you’ve mastered flying in directions, practice Rotational controls. Spinning and keeping Drone
facing the same direction you are facing makes flying easier and more intuitive.

Stay 2 to 3 feet away from walls and ceilings as Drone will be drawn towards them if you fly too
close.

If propeller blades come in contact with another object or you crash, throttle down immediately to
prevent possible or further damage.

If anything prevents Drone’s blades from spinning or they become jammed, THROTTLE DOWN
IMMEDIATELY. Do not attempt to fly until obstruction has been removed and damage fixed.

Should something prevent Drone’s blades from spinning, Drone may AUTO SHUTDOWN. LiPo
battery will need to be unplugged then reconnected to restore flying power.

If the Drone flies too far away, beyond the control range of the remote, the Drone will
AUTO-LAND to prevent the Drone from flying away out of control.

REMOVING & REATTACHING
CAMERA MODULE
The Camera Module is easily removed to improve flight
performance. Simply unplug the camera connector and slide the
camera module forward to disconnect from drone. To reconnect,
simply clip camera module back onto drone and plug in the wire
connector.
