SAFETY
Read the entire instruction manual and familiarise yourself with the product
and all its features before operating. Failure to operate the product correctly
can result in damage to the product, surroundings or even serious injury. This
product is not a toy and must be operated with caution and common sense. It
requires some basic mechanical knowledge. This product is not intended for
use by children without direct adult supervision. This manual contains
instructions for safety, operation and maintenance. It is essential to read and
follow all the instructions and warnings in this manual prior to assembly, setup
or use in order to operate correctly and avoid damage or serious injury.
Not intended for use by children under 14 years of age. This is not a toy.
Always operate your drone in open spaces away from vehicles, buildings,
traffic and people.
Never operate your drone with low transmitter batteries
Avoid exposure to water as moisture can cause damage to the
electronics.
Do not touch the propellers while
they are rotating, as injury is likely to
occur.
Always keep out of reach of children.
Do not operate the drone in adverse weather conditions, such as during
storms, rain, strong wind ( Over 10 m/s), fog or snow
Ensure the drone is kept away from people, trees, electrical wires and
tall buildings during flight. Radio transmission towers, power lines,
electrical substations and similar may interfere with the compass, which
could prevent adequate control of the drone.

The battery charger included with the drone has been designed to safely
charge the Li-Po battery.
Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and
/or property damage.
By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all
risks associated with lithium batteries.
If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use
immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect.
Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or
swelling can result in fire.
Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best
results.
Do not store battery or drone in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a
hot environment, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
Never use any other type of battery charger other than the one supplied
with the drone. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger
may cause fire resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3.7V, the battery may be
damaged and may no longer accept a charge. The drone will
automatically land and become inactive when the battery reaches this
level, this is to protect the battery.

Installing the Mobile Holder / Antenna
The black antenna on the top of the Transmitter can be swapped with the
mobile phone holder, if you are wanting to view footage live on your phone.
To swap them over, the part fitted can be removed by carefully pulling it
directly upwards, while rocking slightly to unclip it internally. The alternative
piece can then be pushed into position.
Propeller Installation
It is important the correct blades are
placed on the correct motor or the
aircraft will not fly correctly. Each blade is
marked with an A1 or B2 on its underside
to indicate which motor it corresponds to.
They should be placed onto the motor
shaft with the mark on their underside.
B2 propellers should be locked into place
with the silver nuts and the A1 propellers
with the black nuts. Use the small supplied rod threaded through the
nut to ensure the nuts are tight, to prevent the propellers becoming
loose during flight.

pair and the lights on the drone will
become constant
Gyro Calibration
When first used the gyroscope must be
calibrated. To do this, place the drone on
a level surface, push the left stick to the
top left, and the right stick to the bottom
right. The lights on the drone will flash
while calibration is in process, and will be
constant when calibration is successful

Compass Calibration
Before starting calibration of the Compass, ensure the drone is on a level
surface
Hold the left stick to the bottom left
and the right stick to the top right
until the lights on the drone start to
flash.
With the drone still on the level
surface, turn it slowly clockwise,
turning it in a full 360 degree circle 3
times.
Point the front of the drone to the
ground, and then twist the drone
clockwise, turning it in a full 360
degree circle 3 times.
With the drone horizontal, and the
