Function introduction
1.Low-voltage protection:
In the condition of rotating aircraft’s fan blade, when being crashed or stuck, aircraft’s circuit will conduct over-current protection.
2.Over-current protection:
3.Horizontal correcting function:
4.3D eversion:
Place the quadcopter on a horizontal postion, then push transmitter both left and right lever to lowest right conner for about 2-3 second , indicator on the quadcopter changed from normal lights up to quickly flashing ;After 2-3 second ,the indicator changed to normal lights, it means the quadcopter restarted /reset successfully.
Tips:3D eversion goes better when battery power is enough.
When you are familiar with the basic operation, you can do some awesome& exciting tricks and stunts! First of all,fly the aircraft to a height of more than 3 meters, press the 3D Eversion switch on the rear right side of the transmitter, then push the right rudder(in any direction) to make 360 degree flip.
1. Forward definition
5.Headless function:
1. Turn on power switch of remote control.
If four indicator lights in the bottom of aircraft start to twinkle, it means that the aircraft is short of electricity and is not able to roll. At that time, a return voyage shall immediately be made to the aircraft.

2. After aircraft connects with power supply, place the switch in “ON” position, adjust the direction pointed by aircraft’s handpiece and regard it as the dead ahead in headless situation.
3. Push the accelerator’s push rod of remote control to the highest point and pull back to the lowest point. When remote control pops, it indicates that frequency modulation and forward definition have already finished.

2. Switch to headless function and general function
2. In headless state, the operator has no need to recognize the position of aircraft’s headpiece, and he just needs to control the aircraft in accordance with the direction of remote control’s operating rod.
1. After frequency modulation, the aircraft defaults to general pattern. The indicator light on aircraft is long bright state. After pressing down headless function switch on the top left of master remote controller for 2 seconds, remote control will give out “DDD...”, it means that it enters into headless state. After pressing for 2 seconds and hearing long “D”, it means that it exits headless state.(In headless mode, four indicators on the aircraft flicker slowly for once within four seconds)
3. Correcting forward direction
1. When the aircraft is in the headless condition, if there is any deviation in the fixed-head direction, it is necessary to re-fix the right direction of the aircraft and stir the accelerator and direction lever to the bottom left side. Long-time shining of indicator lights on the aircraft after slow flashing for 3 seconds shows that adjustment is completed.

Steps of battery charge:
Balanced charger:
1. Connect battery switch with charger.
1. Insert adapter’s DC outlet into import socket of balanced charger. Red light of balanced charger will light on.
2. Insert three-position balanced plug of power battery to output end of charger. Green light of balanced charger will light on. When green light extinguishes, it means the end of battery charging. (Charging time is less than 200 minutes) Note: if power battery inserts into the charger, the light has no change. It indicates that this battery is full energy. There is no need to recharge.
2. Connect charger to power supply socket.
Charging time: about 200 minutes Flying time: about 7 minutes!
1.When charging, please put this product on a dried or ventilated area and keep it far away from heat source or explosive product.
2.When charging, please remove the batteries from the quadcopter. Then charging process should be supervised by an adult so as not to cause an accident.
3.When finish flying, please do not charge the battery if the surface temperature is still not cool. Otherwise it may cause a swollen battery or even a fire hazard.
4.Please make sure that you use the original USB charging cable provided. When the battery has been used for a long time, or appears to be swollen, please replace them.
5.A battery when not in use for a long time will lose its charge automatically. Charging or discharging too often may reduce the life of the battery.

2. Install the blade lockstitch inside the quill as figure (2) shows to ensure that the gap of blade lockstitch aligns at the hole on the quill.
3. Install the iron shaft inside and rotate blade lockstitch for about ninety degrees in the clockwise direction shown in figure (3).
4. Rotate and twist fan blade cover in clockwise direction as shown in Figure (4).
1. Rotate and back out fan blade cover in anti-clockwise direction as shown in Figure (1) .
2. Rotate blade lockstitch for about 90° in the anti-clockwise as figure(2) till the iron shaft point to the opening of blade lockstitch.
3. Get iron shaft out and pull blade lockstitch upward as figure (3) shows.

Maintenance procedure
Aircraft has no response
1. Aircraft enters into low-voltage protection.
2. Electric quantity of remote control is insufficient, power indicator light will flicker.
3. Channel selection of remote control is inconsistent with aircraft’s match codes.
1.The remote-control unit suffers low battery or the quality of battery is not good enough.
2. Remote control with the same frequency is transmitting interference.
1. Have no horizontal correction.
1.Change battery with better quality.
2. Change the place where has no transmitting interference of the same frequency.
1. Conduct horizontal correction, as shown in p.9(3)(correcting function)
1. Define forward again, as shown in p.9-10(5)(headless function)
1. Charge the aircraft.
2. Change remote control’s battery.
3. Adjust channels of remote control and aircraft, and make them become consistent.
1. Head deflection is caused by multiple collisions.
2.Long time usage of headless mode.
