This activity is not intended for children under the age of 12. Not to be used by children except under adult supervision. Wash hands after soldering.Before You BeginInstill good working habits. A soldering iron is not a toy. • Prepare a clean, uncluttered workspace with no distractions. • Verify all tools and parts. • Review instructions. Attention to detail is critical.Soldering1. 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 ll 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. Protective eyeware is recommended.IronSolderConnect Battery3.7V 250mAH Lithium Polymer Battery (1)-+LEDs are polarized and MUST match the position printed on the PCB.

Using any other batteries, cables or dierent specications may damage the drone. • After playing, let the battery cool for at least 20 minutes before charging.Pairing1. Turn on the drone. The LEDs ash.2. Place the drone on level ground. 3. Turn on the remote control. The remote control’s LED ashes.4. 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 o the drone and remote control and repeat the steps above, or change locations to avoid electrical interference. Fly 1. After pairing, push the steering control in to switch between advanced mode to y in high speed (double beep) and beginner mode to y in low speed (single beep). 2. With the drone on the ground, move the throttle forward to ascend. To avoid ground air turbulence, y the drone at least 1 ft. (30cm) o the ground.IMPORTANT: If your drone crashes upside down, pull the throttle down and switch o the remote control rst. Never touch the drone when propellers are still moving.TrimMove the throttle forward and see how the drone reacts.Note: The remote control beeps when you press a trim control but stops beeping when you reach maximum trim adjustment.Ready to FlyON/OFFLEDFlashing = Searching On = PairedAscendTurn leftTurn rightDescendPush (Stunt mode)ForwardSlide leftSlide rightBackwardPush (High/low speed)Forward/Reverse Movement TrimLeft/Right Slide TrimLand1. 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.2. After playing, turn o the remote control and drone. StuntsIMPORTANT: 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.TroubleshootingDrone 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 dicult 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, ne movements to control. • Practice at low speed mode. See “Fly.“Drone swerves / runs erratically before take o • 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 takeo. • See “Trim” if necessary to ne tune and improve control of your drone after calibration.Fly Safely • When ying outdoors, keep the drone away from power lines, trees, weeds, and water. • When ying indoors, keep the drone away from walls, air conditioning, air vents, fans, breakable objects, and other obstacles. • Do not y 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 y your drone over private property where you are not welcomed. • Do not y your drone where emergency responders are working, or emergency aircraft are operating.
