Product Features
1. Low-Voltage Protection:
When the four indicator lights at the bottom of drone
start flashing, it means that the drone's battery power is
low. At this time, please control the drone return.
2.Over-Current Protection:
When the drone encounters direct impact from a
foreign object, or is obstructed, or the blades are not
rotating, the drone will go into the over-current
protection mode.
3.Level Calibration Function:
Place the drone on a level surface and at the same
time, push both left and right joysticks to the lower right
corners for 2 to 3 seconds; the indicator lights on the
drone will blink rapidly, and they will return to solid
status after about 2 to 3 seconds. The level calibration is
successful.
4.High/Low Speed Function:
Low speed by default when first powered-on.
Possible to switch the function mode of high/low
speed by pressing the right joystick for a short
time. It is switched into high speed mode when
two ”beep” sounds come from the remote control,
pressing the right joystick for a short time under
fast speed mode and then one “beep” sound
would come from the remote control,then it is
switched back into low speed mode.
5.360°Stunt Flip Function:
When you are familiar with the basic actions,
you can proceed to explore even more
exciting stunt actions. Fly the drone to a
height of above 3 m above the ground, press
the upper right corner button (Stunt Flip
Button) on the remote control and
simultaneously push the right joystick to the
farthest position of Front/Back/Left/Right, the
drone will now execute the Front/Back/ Left/
Right stunt flip function.
Note: Drone will have the best stunt flip action when the batteries are fully charged.

6.Optical flow Hover & Auto Hover Function:
①Optical flow hover function
When the drone is turned on, the drone will automatically start the optical
flow positioning function when hovering in the air, and the drone will remain
stationary at a certain point.
Note：
1.Achieve fixed-point accuracy of
about 0.5 meters.
2.If the light is dark, the ground
reflects, the height is greater than
12 meters, or the wind is above
level 2,the optical flow positioning will
influenced under these conditions, at
this time the indicator light of the
drone will be flashing three times.
②Auto Hover Function:
After using the left joystick (throttle) to control the ascending/descending flight
of the drone, release the left joystick (throttle) and the drone will hover at that
height when the joystick is released.
7. Headless Function:
①.Defining forward direction:
●Press on the power button of the remote control.
Front
Left Right
Back
●Press the power button of the drone, and adjust the
specified direction of the drone’s head under the
headless mode as the new forward direction.
●Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote control
up to the farthest position and then pull down to the
farthest position. When the remote control issues a
long “beep” sound, it means the frequency and
defining forward direction functions are completed.
-9-
②.Toggling between headless function and normal function:
● After the drone is matched with the corresponding
frequency, the drone would be in normal pattern by
default. At this time the indicator light on the drone would
be in a state of on for a long time. After pressing in on
the right joystick of the remote control for 2 seconds, the
remote control would make a sound of “beep, beep,
beep” to show that it has entered into a state of headless
mode. Press in the right joystick for 2 seconds then a
long sound of “beep” would be heard to show an exit
status. (When under the state of headless mode, four
indicator lights on the drone flash slowly once every four
seconds).

Left Right
Back

Back
● Under the headless mode, the operator does not need
to differentiate the head position of the drone, and only
needs to control the drone’s direction front / back / left /
Right
right by using the right joystick direction on the remote
control.
③. Calibration for the definition of the front:
When the drone encounters a direct impact with
foreign objects in the headless mode, if there is an
occurrence of deviation of the defined direction, it
is only required to push both the left and right
joysticks to the bottom left corners simultaneously
after placing the flying direction of the drone in the
correction position. When the led light indicator of
the drone is in a long “ON” mode after slowly
flashing for 3 seconds, it indicates the calibration
is complete.
