Insert the component leads through the correct pads on the PCB. 2. Press the iron to the pad to heat the pad. Do not move the iron. Instead, touch the solder to the pad. Flow enough solder to fill the hole and hold the component, but not too much. 3. Trim the excess lead as closely as possible to the PCB. Caution: Be careful when soldering and trimming leads.

Install Batteries in the Remote Control Make sure your drone is switched off. Plug the USB charging cable into your drone’s charging port (CHG) and a USB power source. The LED on the USB connector lights red during charging, and turns off when charging is complete. A full charge takes about 45 minutes, and provides up to 5 minutes of flight time. After charging, unplug the charging cable. Do not attempt to overcharge. 1. 2. Set the remote control’s ON/OFF switch to OFF. Open the battery compartment and insert two AAA batteries (not included), matching the polarities (+ and –) marked inside. Replace the cover. Note: If the remote control’s LED flashes during use, the batteries are low and should be replaced. Pairing Ready to Fly LED Flashing = Searching On = Paired ON/OFF Forward/ Reverse Movement Trim Left/Right Slide Trim LED The left and right propellers are different (see A and B markings on the drone and propellers). Make sure you insert the correct propeller in the correct location to fly properly. Steering Ascend Turn left Push (Stunt mode) Forward Turn right Slide left Descend Push (High/low speed) Backward IMPORTANT: Make sure there is enough space for the drone to perform stunts without crashing into objects or people. 1. Push the throttle control in so that the remote control beeps repeatedly to enter stunt mode. 2. Use the steering control to perform stunts: 3. The drone automatically exits stunt mode after performing a stunt. Slide right 1. After pairing, push the steering control in to switch between advanced mode to fly in high speed (double beep) and beginner mode to fly in low speed (single beep). 2. With the drone on the ground, move the throttle forward to ascend. To avoid ground air turbulence, fly the drone at least 1 ft. (30cm) off the ground. IMPORTANT: If your drone crashes upside down, pull the throttle down and switch off the remote control first. Never touch the drone when propellers are still moving. Forward/Reverse Movement If the drone tends to move forward, press ; if it tends to move backward, press 10 ON/OFF 11 Front flip Move steering forward Barrel roll Move steering right or left 12 Back flip Move steering backward Left/Right Slide Trim: If the drone tends to slide right, press ; if it tends to slide left, press Note: The remote control beeps when you press a trim control but stops beeping when you reach maximum trim adjustment. 2770422_UG_EN.080416.indd 9-16 Stunts Move the throttle forward and see how the drone reacts. CAUTION: •• Use only the supplied lithium battery and cable, or ones with the same specification to charge. Using any other batteries, cables or different specifications may damage the drone. •• After playing, let the battery cool for at least 20 minutes before charging. 2. Slowly move the throttle backward to descend. Avoid moving the throttle too quickly, as it can stop the blades instantly and cause the drone to crash. After playing, turn off the remote control and drone. Trim Battery Notes •• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. •• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. •• Remove batteries during longer storage periods. 1. Turn on the drone. The LEDs flash. Place the drone on level ground. Turn on the remote control. The remote control’s LED flashes. Move the throttle all the way up and then down to pair the remote control with the drone. The drone’s blades remain still during pairing. When paired, the LEDs on both the remote control and drone light steadily. Note: If pairing fails, turn off the drone and remote control and repeat the steps above, or change locations to avoid electrical interference. Fly Throttle Land 1. 2. 3. 4. 13 Troubleshooting FCC Information Drone does not respond •• Make sure the drone and remote control are switched on and paired. •• Drone battery maybe low. Fully charge the battery. See “Charge the Drone Battery.“ •• Make sure the drone is within the control range (65 ft./20 m) and in line of sight. Drone difficult to control •• Adjust the propellers by hand. If you cannot adjust them, replace with the spare propellers. •• The throttle control is very sensitive. Use small, fine movements to control. •• Practice at low speed mode. See “Fly.“ Drone swerves / runs erratically before take off •• The gyroscope inside your drone needs calibrating. Do the following: 1. With your drone and remote control switched on and paired, place the drone on level ground. 2. Move the throttle all the way down and the steering forward at the same time. Hold this position for a few seconds until the drone LEDs start to blink. 3. When the LEDs light steadily, release the controls. Calibration is complete and you are now ready for takeoff. •• See “Trim” if necessary to fine tune and improve control of your drone after calibration.

Fly Safely •• To avoid injury and damage, inspect the propellers for nicks and breaks and make sure they are securely attached before and after each flight. Replace nicked, chipped, cracked or broken propellers. (See details on page 9) •• To replace a damaged propeller, remove the old one and press the new one onto the propeller axle. If you cannot remove the old propeller by hand, carefully use pliers. •• Use only the supplied propellers. Do not alter, modify, or customize the propellers. •• When flying outdoors, keep the drone away from power lines, trees, weeds, and water. •• When flying indoors, keep the drone away from walls, air conditioning, air vents, fans, breakable objects, and other obstacles. •• Do not fly the drone near or at other people or animals. •• Keep eyes, hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving propellers. •• Adult supervision is recommended at all times. •• Do not fly your drone over private property where you are not welcomed. •• Do not fly your drone where emergency responders are working, or emergency aircraft are operating. 14 15 WARNING: Limited Warranty Go to www.radioshack.com/help for details.
