Product Features
1.Low-Voltage Protection:
When the four indicator lights at the bottom
of drone start flashing, it means that the
drone's battery power is low, it will go into
altitude limited mode and descend to a safe
altitude automatically.

-6-
2.Over-Current Protection:
When the drone encounters direct impact
from a foreign object, or is obstructed, or
the blades are not rotating, the drone will
go into the over-current protection mode.

3.Level Calibration Function:

Place the drone on a level surface and at
the same time, push both left and right
joysticks to the lower right corners for 2
to 3 seconds; the indicator lights on the
drone will blink rapidly, and they will return
to solid status after about 2 to 3 seconds.
The level calibration is successful.

4.High/Low Speed Function:

Low speed by default when first powered-on.
Possible to switch the function mode of high/
low speed by pressing the right joystick for a
short time. It is switched into high speed mode
when two ”beep” sounds come from the remote
control, pressing the right joystick for a short
time under fast speed mode and then one
“beep” sound would come from the remote
control, then it is switched back into low
speed mode.

5.360°Stunt Flip Function:

When you are familiar with the basic actions,
you can proceed to explore even more exciting
stunt actions. Fly the drone to a height of above
5 m above the ground, press the upper right
corner button (Stunt Flip Button) on the remote
control and simultaneously push the right
joystick to the farthest position of Front/Back/
Left/Right, the drone will now execute the
Front/Back/Left/Right stunt flip function.

Note: The drone will have the best stunt flip action when the batteries
are fully charged.

-7-
6.Auto Hover Function:
After using the left joystick (throttle)
to control the ascending/descending
flight of the drone, release the left
joystick (throttle) and the drone will
hover at that height when the joystick
is released.

7.Headless Function:
①Defining forward direction:

●Press on the power button of the remote

control.

●Connect the battery to the drone, press

the power button of the drone, and adjust Front

the specified direction of the drone’s head Left Right

under the headless mode as the new Back

forward direction.

●Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote

control up to the farthest position and then
pull down to the farthest position. When the
remote control issues a long “beep” sound,
it means the frequency and defining forward
direction functions are completed.

②Calibration for the definition of the front:

When the drone encounters a direct impact
with foreign objects in the headless mode, if
there is an occurrence of deviation of the
defined direction, it is only required to push
both the left and right joysticks to the bottom
left corners simultaneously after placing the
flying direction of the drone in the correction
position. When the LED indicator of the
drone turn to solid after slowly flashing for
3 seconds, it indicates the calibration is
complete.

-8-
③Toggling between headless function and normal function:
●After the drone is matched with the
corresponding frequency, the drone would
be in normal pattern by default. At this time
the indicator light on the drone would be in
a state of on for a long time. After pressing
in on the right joystick of the remote control
for 2 seconds, the remote control would
make a sound of “beep, beep, beep” to
show that it has entered into a state of
headless mode. Press in the right joystick
for 2 seconds then a long sound of “beep”
would be heard to show an exit status.
(When under the state of headless mode,
four indicator lights on the drone flash slowly
once every four seconds).

●Under the headless mode, the operator

does not need to differentiate the head Front
Front
position of the drone, and only needs to Left Right

control the drone’s direction front/back/ Left Right
