allows up to 3 people to fly side-by-side in the same range.
FOR ONE PERSON PLAY:

3. Place the UFO on a table or hold it in your hand. Make sure your hands and body are
away from the rotor blades.
4. Turn on the UFO and remote control. Slowly push the throttle upward to pair the UFO
and the remote control. When the rotor blades spins, pairing is completed. You can
start to play.
5. If you turn your UFO off or the battery runs out, you will need to do the pairing again.
FOR TWO- OR THREE-PERSON PLAY:
1. Before starting, make sure that all UFOs and controllers are powered off.
2. Each player must select a different flight channel (A, B or C) on his/her own
controller. If more than one person is on the same flight channel, there will be
interference.
3. Only one person should pair his/her UFO at a time by following steps 3 thru 4 above.
4. When a player’s UFO is paired and working it should be left on while the next
players pair their UFOs in turn.
5. If you turn your UFO off or the battery runs out, you will need to do the pairing again.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
UFO does not
respond to controller
UFO is flying erratically
or can not “lift off”
1) Make sure the UFO is fully charged and the batteries in your controller are new.
2)
Turn your controller and UFO off and on again to reset the connection between the two devices.
3) Make sure you are indoors, away from sunlight and bright indoor lighting.
4) Make sure there is nothing blocking the infrared transmitter on the controller and that you
have not added decals or paint to the UFO body that can result in blocking signals.
1) Make sure that the connecting rods are intact and not broken.
Note: Find the two additional connecting rods and the instruction sheet for replacing a
broken rod in the package.
2) Make sure there is no hair or carpet fibers stuck in the metal rotor shaft or gears. If you
find hair carefully remove it with a tweezers. Never operate your UFO underwater. See care
instructions.
