Product Features
This section mainly introduces
functions and installation guidelines
of X103W and lists the components
of the drone and remote controller.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MJX X103W foldable drone. This drone is equipped with an advanced
Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS communicates with satellites to enable precise positioning
of the drone and hovering over a specific position. The X103W is also capable of flying in the intelligent
flight modes like Point of interest, Follow me and Waypoint flight.
The drone has a single-axis gimbal for the camera that enables in flight adjustment of the camera angle
from horizontal to vertical position. The camera transmits 2K videos and 2MP still pictures. The drone
has a built-in micro SD card slot to record videos and still pictures in 2MP resolution.
The remote is ergonomically designed for ease of use with foldable handles that minimize the footprint
of the remote when in storage or carrying. Flight information is displayed on the phone when the APP is
active.
This drone has a maximum speed of 22 km/h (14 MPH) and flight time of about 14 minutes.

The drone is stored in the shipping box with its arms folded. Follow the steps below to unfold the arms.
Make sure the blades are free when unfolding the arms.
1. Unfold the rear arms first (the arms far from the camera);
2. Unfold the front arms next.
Note: Unfolding the arms requires a bit of force, you will feel
the arm lock when it reached the fully extended position.

Battery installation
Before first flight charge the battery to make sure it is fully charged.
ALWAYS remove the battery from the drone to charge it.
Caution: NEVER leave the battery charging unattended. Remove the battery from the charging cable
when the battery is fully charged – all 4 Blue lights are on.
Insert the battery into the battery
compartment in the top of the
drone body. Make sure you insert
the battery in the correct direction.
Press the battery into place firmly
until it locks on both sides. You will
hear a click once the locking tabs
are in place.
Caution: Make sure you press the battery into place firmly and hear the “click” when it
!
is locked. Try to pull the battery out to make sure it is properly installed. A loose
battery WILL cause the drone to malfunction and may cause damage to the
drone or to the person flying it or others in the vicinity.

Battery installation in the remote controller
1. Unfold the handles and open the battery compartment door (Pic. 1);
2. Install 2*AA batteries into the battery compartment and make sure they are in the correct polarity
(Pic. 2);
3. Close the battery compartment door (Pic. 3).
Pic. 1 Pic. 2 Pic. 3
● Insert batteries in the correct polarity: the transmitter requires 2*AA batteries.
!
● NEVER charge Non rechargeable batteries.
● NEVER mix old and new batteries.
● NEVER mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
● Rechargeable batteries MUST be removed from the drone before being charged.
● Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under adult supervision.
● Remove spent batteries from the drone and remote.
● NEVER short-circuit the battery terminals.

The X103W
This section introduces functions and
features of the X103W.
Flight Modes
Your X103W has two flights modes:
GPS mode: GPS ON
Slide the button up at the right side of the remote to “ON” (Pic.1), the drone is in GPS mode and can
precisely position itself and hover in one location with the assistance of the GPS. When GPS signal is
weak or the drone compass is interfered, the drone will automatically change into Gesture Mode.
Gesture mode: GPS OFF
Slide the button down to “OFF” (Pic.2), the drone is in Gesture mode. The GPS is turnned off for
positioning, and the drone uses only the barometer to maintain altitude. The drone will not fly with
precise positioning and hovering. Gesture mode requires the pilot to have better flying skills.
In Gesture mode, the drone cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases the risk of
potential flight hazards. The drone will also be more susceptible to its surroundings. Environmental
factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when
flying in confined spaces.

Return to Home (RTH) Operation
The Return-to-Home(RTH) procedure brings the drone back to the last recorded Home Position. There
are 3 types of RTH modes: Smart RTH, Low battery RTH and Fail safe RTH. The following sections
describe each mode in detail.
GPS Description
If a strong GPS signal (satellites over 7) was acquired before takeoff,
Home Position
● Drone can not avoid obstacles when it is flying back with the RTH function
!
initiated.
● Drone can not return to the Home Position when the GPS signal is weak or
unavailable.
● Drone will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Position if
user moves the throttle stick in the drone reaches 15meter (50 feet) altitudes
or beyond during Smart RTH.
● If there is no GPS signal and the remote controller signal lost for more than 6
seconds, the drone can not Return-to-Home but descend slowly until land to
the ground and lock the drone.
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the “MJX GPS” APP and follow
the on-screen instructions when GPS (more than 7 satellites is presented) is available to initiate Smart
RTH. During the smart RTH, you can use the remote controller to guide the drone around obstacles.
You can press the RTH button again to exit RTH procedure and regain control of the drone.
the Home Position is the location from which the drone launched. The
GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The drone
rear indicator lights will blink rapidly from yellow color to green color
when the home position is recorded.
Low battery RTH
The low battery level Fail safe is triggered when the MJX intelligent battery is depleted to a position that
may affect the safe return of the drone. Users are advised to return home or land the drone immediately
when prompted.
1. When the drone rear lights flash slowly, battery icon “ ” is shown on the remote controller or on the
“MJX GPS” APP. And steady “beep beep beep... beep beep beep” sound is heard. At this moment,
the drone will automatically return to the Home Position if the flying altitude is beyond 30 meters (100
feet) or the flying distance against the home position is beyond 50 meters (150 feet).
2. When the drone rear lights flash slowly, battery icon “ ” is shown on the remote controller or on
the “MJX GPS” APP. And steady “beep..beep...beep” sound is heard. At this moment, the drone
will automatically return to the Home Position if the flying altitude is beyond 15 meters or the flying
distance against the home position is beyond 15 meters. If the drone flying altitude is less than 15
meters or the flying distance is less than 15 meters, the drone will automatically land to the ground.
