Battery installation
Slide the battery into the battery compartment at the rear of the aircraft by pushing with appropriate
force, the aircraft will make beep sounds with LED lights flashing. Please make sure that the battery
is installed firmly before flying.
Attention: The battery should be installed firmly, failure to do so may affect the flight safety
of your aircraft. The aircraft may crash due to power-cut during the flight.
• When charging is proceeding, the green light keeps flashing and the red light keeps solid on;
• When charging is finished, both of the green light and red light keep solid on;
• If the battery and charging converter is not connected with the balance charger, but the balance

Remote controller control stick calibration
Step 1. Keep pressing the red locking button and turn on the remote controller (indicated as pic.1);
Step 2. Press the calibration button for 3 seconds, the remote controller will make 3 beep sounds and
the indicator light of the remote controller turns from flashing quickly to slowly. Maximum rotate
both of the left and right control stick to any direction for 2 circles (indicated as pic.2);
Step 3. Then, again, press the calibration button for 3 seconds. The remote controller will send out 3
beep sounds and the indicator light of the remote controller turns from flashing slowly to quickly,
which means that the control stick calibration is completed (indicated as pic.3).

Warm tips: All remote controllers have been calibrated when manufacturing.
Remote controller calibration is requested only if pilots find that the remote
controller control sticks are not working normally.
Attention: Please do not power on your aircraft when calibrate the control stick for the
remote controller.

Aircraft compass calibration
Attention:
t Compass calibration should be performed after successful aircraft initialization detection.
2. Aircraft compass calibration should be done for every flight. That is to say; if changing new battery
or the battery is reinstalled, compass calibration should be done again.
After successful aircraft initialization detection, the aircraft front and rear lights flash yellow
alternatively. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360 degrees along the central axis for
about 3 circles. The aircraft front and rear light will change from flashing yellow alternatively to
flashing green alternatively when horizontal calibration is completed.
Hold the aircraft with head up, and rotate it 360 degrees along the central axis for about
3 circles until the front and rear lights of the aircraft change from flashing to solid on, the
compass calibration is successful.
A Attention: To fly at GPS mode, please choose an open and wide space for the flight, and
make sure that the satellite amount is over T
A • Please do not calibrate the compass in strong magnetic area, such as magnetic field,
parking place or construction areas with underground reinforcement.
• Please do not carry magnetic materials with you (such as keys, cell phones, etc) when
calibrating compass.
• Please keep away from big metal when calibrating compass.

Gyroscope calibration
After the aircraft and the remote controller are banded, set the aircraft on flat ground and follow the
indication photo as below to calibrate the gyro. Once the aircraft front lights turn from flashing to solid
on, it means that the gyro calibration is succeeded.
oRr
A • The gyroscope calibration has been done by factory default. Gyroscope calibration is no
need to be performed unless the aircraft can not exit the aircraft initialization detection
procedure while the aircraft initialization detection is finished.
• Please make sure to set the aircraft on horizontal surface when performing calibration,
failure to do this will affect the flight.
There are 2 ways to lock the aircraft that you can find it as below:
•Method 1: Long-press the red button a.
(indicated as Pic. 1) for 3 seconds, the motors will stop
rotating immediately and the aircraft is locked.
•Method 2: After the aircraft lands on the ground, pull down the throttle stick to the bottom position
and keep for 3 seconds, the motors will stop rotating and the aircraft is lacked.

Return-To-Home (RTH)
The Return-to-Home(RTH) procedure brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home
Point. There are 3 types of RTH procedures: smart RTH, failsafe RTH and low battery RTH.
The following sections describe them in detail.
GPS Description
Smart RTH
If the GPS signal is available (more than 7 satellites is presented) and the Home Point is recorded
previously, press this button, the aircraft will fly back to the Home Point. During the smart RTH, you
can use the remote controller to guide the aircraft around obstacles. You can press the RTH button
again to exit RTH procedure and regain control of the aircraft.
-15-
Failsafe RTH
If the GPS signal is available (more than 7 satellites is presented) and the Home Point is recorded
previously. Failsafe RTH will be triggered if the remote controller signal is lost for more than 6 seconds,
the flight-control system will control the aircraft automatically and the aircraft will fly back to the last
recorded Home Point. You can regain control of the aircraft by press the RTH button if the remote
controller signal is recovered.
• During the Failsafe RTH procedure, the aircraft can not avoid obstacles.
• The aircraft cannot Return-to-Home if the GPS signal is weak (satellite amount
is less than 7).
• If there is no GPS signal and the remote controller signal lost for more than 6
seconds, the aircraft will not Return-to-Home but descend slowly until land to the
ground and lock the aircraft.
Attention: When aircraft is in low voltage RTH status you can not regain control of the
aircraft by pressing the RTH button.
Photo/Video
Short-press the button indicated as below and the camera icon " In on the LCD screen flashes once,
the camera takes one photo; Long-press the same button, the video icon on the LCD screen
flashes slowly, the camera is taking video. Long-press again will exit shooting.
Attention: When the aircraft is not inserted with TF card or the TF card is malfunction,
photos and videos taking can not be done by pressing the button of the remote
controller, but by the icon on the APP interface.

Low voltage warning
*When the battery icon "V" is shown on the LCD screen, and the aircraft front lights glow solid on
and the rear lights keep flashing slowly, it means that the battery is nearly low voltage.
*When the battery icon " is shown on the LCD screen, and the aircraft front lights glow solid on
and the rear lights keep flashing rapidly, it means that the battery is in low voltage.
