ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
Before each use, an adult should check this product and the LiPo battery to
ensure no damage or hazards exist. Quadcopter 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
Quadcopter. 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, bodies of water and power lines. Never
attempt to retrieve Quadcopter from any location higher than your reach (such
as rooftops or trees) or from any location that poses a safety hazard. Never fly
Quadcopter at night. Keep Quadcopter in sight at all times during operation.
Discontinue operation immediately if Quadcopter 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 launch from your hand. Never leave Quadcopter unattended while it is
turned on. Read all enclosed information before operating.

TRIM ADJUSTMENTS
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD FOR INDOOR FLIGHT
Place Quadcopter on a
level surface.
Align the blade guard with
Quadcopter so each ring
on the blade guard evenly
surrounds each propeller.
Insert the blade guard
supports into the clips
located on the outside of
each motor housing.
Make sure that each
support is fully inserted
into each clip. Repeat 3X
for each propeller mount.

WHEN NOT IN USE:
• Always unplug Quadcopter’s LiPo battery when
not in use or when Quadcopter is being stored
or transported.
• Store the LiPo battery and Quadcopter in a dry
area at room temperature.
• Avoid temperatures less than 40°F/4°C and
greater than 120°F/49°C.
• 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:
• If battery voltage drops to an extremely low level, Quadcopter will
automatically shutdown. LiPo battery will need to be recharged to
restore flying power.
• If anything prevents Quadcopter’s blades from spinning or they
become jammed during a crash, Quadcopter will automatically
shutdown. LiPo battery will need to be unplugged then reconnected
to restore flying power.
2B
• Stand behind Quadcopter when launching, so you are facing the same direction that
Quadcopter is facing. This makes flying easier. Green Blades are in the 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’ve become well
practiced.
• Once you’ve mastered flying in directions, practice Spin (Yaw) controls. Spinning and
keeping Quadcopter facing the same direction you are facing makes flying easier and
more intuitive.
• Stay 2 to 3 feet away from walls and ceilings as Quadcopter will be drawn towards
them if you fly too close.
• If propeller blades come in contact with another object or you crash during flight,
throttle down immediately to prevent possible or further damage.
• If anything prevents Quadcopter’s blades from spinning or they become jammed
during a crash, THROTTLE DOWN IMMEDIATELY. Do not attempt to further flight until
obstruction or damage has been addressed.
• Should something prevent Quadcopter’s blades from spinning, Quadcopter may AUTO
SHUTDOWN. LiPo battery will need to be unplugged then reconnected to restore
flying power.
If Quadcopter drifts in any direction while
hovering (and you are not pressing the Direction
stick), you may need to make trim adjustments.
Safely land Quadcopter on a level surface then
press the recommended Trim button once as
described below. Launch Quadcopter back into
the air and attempt another still hover. If
Quadcopter continues to drift, repeat the
process until a still hover is achieved:
• Quadcopter drifts forward
– Press the B button
• Quadcopter drifts backward
– Press the F button
• Quadcopter drifts to the left
– Press the R button
• Quadcopter drifts to the right
– Press the L button
• Quadcopter spins counter-clockwise
(when viewed from the top)
– Press the button
• Quadcopter spins clockwise (when
viewed from the top)
– Press the button
