Surveyor Drone
Install Batteries in th e Transmi tter
1. On the transmitter, set the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
3. Insert two A AA batteries (not included), matching
the polarities marked inside. Use alkaline batteries
for optimal performance.
During play, if the transmitter’s
LED ashes, replace the
batteries.
Age 14+
Get Rea dy to Fly
1. Open the drone batter y compartment door and nd the battery socket.
2. Plug the drone batter y to the socket. The four LEDs (two in white in the
front, two in green in the back) ash.
3. Insert th e battery with its cable into the battery compar tment.
4. Secure the compartm ent door.
5. Place the drone on level ground.
6.
Switch on the transmitter. The transmitter’s LED lights.
7.
Move the throttle all the way from the descend position to ascend
and back to descend to pair the transmitter with the drone. The
drone’s blades remain still during pairing. When paired, the d rone’s
LEDs stop ashing and remain on.
Note:
If pairing fails, switch o the drone and transmit ter and repeat the
steps above, or move locations to avoid interference.
Fly Your Drone
1. After pairing, p ress the steering control to switch between high speed (double beep) and normal
speed (single beep).
2. For beginners: With the drone on t he ground, move the throttle forward to y.
For advanced users: Hold the transmitter with on e hand, resting your thumb on the throttle.
Then throw the drone about three meters away from you, and promptly move the throttle
forward to y. The drone adjusts itself automatically an d ies stably.
3. To land your drone, slowly move the throttle backward to descend. Avoid moving the throttle too
quickly, as that can stop the blades instantly and cause the d rone to crash.
4. When you nish playing, disconnec t and remove the drone battery and turn o the transmitter.
We hope you enjoy your Surveyor Drone from
RadioShack. Please read this user’s guide before
setting up and using your drone.
What’s I nclude d

Charge the Dr one Ba ttery
Your drone uses a lithium polymer battery for power.
1. Hold the batter y connector (NOT the cable) and carefully unplug
the battery from the drone.
2.
Use the USB charging cable to connect the battery to a USB power
source, such as a laptop. The LED on the USB connector lights red
during charging, and turns o when charging is complete.
A full charge takes about 35 minutes. When the battery is fu lly
charged, the drone can y up to 5 minutes.
3. After charging, unpl ug the USB charging cable. Do not attempt to
overcharge the battery.
Caution:
• Use only the supplied lithium battery. Using any
other battery may damage the drone.
• Only use the included USB charging cable to
charge the drone battery.

1. Press and hold the throttle control. The transmit ter
beeps.
2. Move the steering control to perform ips:
• Frontip: Move lever forward
• Backip: Move lever backward
• Barrel roll: Move lever right or left
3. To exit stunt mode, release the throttle before moving
the steering control.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is enough space for the
drone to perform a ip. Avoid crashing on people or any
object.
Trim Your Dr one
Use the two trim pads to ne-tune your drone to avoid
excess drift. Push the throttle forward and observe how the
drone reacts.
Forward/Reverse Movement Trim: If the drone tends
to move forward, press the lower part on this pad; if it
tends to move backward, press the upper part.
Left/Right Slide Trim: If the drone tends to slide right,
press the upper part on this pad; if it tends to slide lef t,
press the lower part.
Note: The transmitter sounds a short beep whe n you
press any trim control. A long beep sounds when you reach
maximum trim adjustment.

Troublesho oting
Dron e is n ot res pondin g
• Make sure the dron e and transmitte r
are switched on and pa ired. When they
are paired, the LEDs of t he drone and
transmitter are o n.
• The drone bat tery may be low. Charge t he
battery ful ly. (Refer to “Charge the Drone
Battery“)
• Transmitter batte ry may be low. Replace
the batteries .
• Make sure the dron e is within the cont rol
range (65 ft./20 m) and in line of sight.
Dron e dif ficu lt to c ontrol
• The thrott le control is very sensi tive. Use
small, ne movem ents of the throttl e.
• If you are a begi nner, use the steering
control to set to the norma l speed mode.
It is easier to control in th e normal speed
mode. (Refer to “Fly Your Dron e“)
Batt ery N otes
• After play ing, you may need to wai t to let
