If controlling the drone becomes dicult, use
the following steps to calibrate the drone.
1. Select an open location withou t strong
magnetic interference and place the drone
on level ground.
2. Turn on the drone and the remote control,
then pair the remote control with the
drone.
3. With the throttle all the way down, move
the steering control all the way up until the
drone's LED ashes rapidly.
