Drone Battery Charging
Insert the USB charging cable into the USB power of your computer, then the other end of the cable into the cable on the battery itself.
If the indicator is lit up, it shows that the battery is charging. When the indicator turns off, the battery is charged.
The USB cable can also be connected to most smartphone chargers or mobile power sources with USB interfaces. The voltage output of these should not exceed 5V, otherwise, the drone may be damaged.
- When charging, the charger should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated location, away from water, heat sources and flammable materials.
- When charging, the battery should be completely removed from the body of the drone.
- Please do not recharge the battery immediately after flying the drone. Wait until the battery has cooled down.
- Avoid dropping or knocking the battery.
- When the battery is fully charged, it should be removed from the charger as soon as possible, as it may self-discharge, resulting in loss of battery power. This will then prompt the charger to recharge the battery once it detects a drop in power level until it is full again. Long-time repeated continuous charging, discharging and recharging will shorten the battery life considerably.
- To ensure your safety during use, please only use the supplied charging cable.
Initial Setup
Safety Precautions
- When pushing on control levers, do not use too much force or push the levers too quickly to their extreme positions. You should make smooth, slow movements.
- For beginners, you should get familiar with the controls of the remote. Firstly, you will need to learn to control the left (power) lever, so that you can maintain the drone height at about 1m from the ground, then try to master the skill of controlling the drone flight and direction.
Pairing the Drone and Remote Controller
1. Place the drone on flat ground with the power switched on.
2. Turn the remote controller on, then press the left lever upwards. The drone and remote controller will enter pairing mode. Once paired, you will not need to pair the drone and remote controller again.
Drone Operation and Control
Left vertical lever controls lift and fall of the drone | Left horizontal lever controls the left/right rotation of the drone |
Right vertical lever controls the forward/backward movement | Right horizontal lever controls left/right flight of the drone |
Fine Tuning
If the drone deviates from its direction (drifts sideways or rotates when you aren't intending it to), press the fine tuning adjustment keys in the opposite direction the unit is moving.
For example, as shown below, if the unit keeps drifting forwards, push the adjustment key back.
Sensitivity Setting
The drone can be operated in low-speed or high-speed modes.
To adjust, press the "speed adjustment" button. (Default mode is low-speed)
Drone Recalibration
Once the drone has been paired, operate the left and right levers as shown below, and the drone will be recalibrated. If at any point the drone appears to be functioning incorrectly, or the issues cannot be resolved with the fine tuning keys, this calibration may fix the issue.
Rolling Mode
The drone can roll 360° by using the following controls. To perform a good roll, ensure the drone is at least 4m above the ground.
Single Roll
Left Rolling | Right Rolling |
Click the "single rolling" key |
Click the "single rolling" key |
Front Rolling | Back Rolling |
Click the "single rolling" key |
Click the "single rolling" key |
Multi-time Rolling

2. Push the right lever to any direction (left/right/forward/back), then press it back to the center. (This step can be repeated)
3.Press the "multi-time rotation" key again to exit this mode.
Camera
Camera Installation
1. Plug the camera data cable into the drone body | 2. Insert the camera into the fixed mounting slots on the drone | 3. Insert a blank SD card |
Camera Use
1. Turn on the power to the drone and to the remote controller.
2. Press the "photography" button. The camera will take one picture, and the camera indicator light will flash once. Please allow 2 seconds between pictures being taken to allow time for the data to be saved.
3. Press the "video" button. The camera will start filming footage and the camera indicator light will remain on. Press the "video" button again to exit video mode.
4. When finished, turn the drone off and remove the SD card.
Note: if the SD card will not store the data, please format the SD card.
Compass Mode
Compass mode will lock the direction the drone is flying in, no matter what direction the drone is flying or facing.
This means if the drone is getting out of easy range to control, the user can turn compass mode on by pressing the compass button and easily guide the drone back to themselves. Simply ensure the drone is facing yourself before turning on this mode if you wish to do this.
When you do not need compass mode anymore, simply press the "compass" button again to exit this mode.
One-key Return Mode
When the drone is far from you and you cannot ascertain its direction, press the "one-key return" button, then control the height with the left lever. (The right lever is not used)
The drone will begin to return to your location. When the drone is back within visible range if you wish to regain control of the drone, press the "one-key return" button again.
