The LED indicator light on the cable will turn red while it is charging and turn off when it is fully charged. The charging time is about 120-150 minutes.Note: Only use the provided charger cable. It is dangerous to use the provided charge cable to charge other products.
GETTING READY TO FLY
Note:① Make sure the propellers and propeller protective covers are correctly installed and tightened.② Before flying, please pair the drone and transmitter (remote control), calibrate the drone, and obtain a GPS satellite signal.
- HOW TO PAIR THE REMOTE CONTROL TO THE DRONE① Turn on the drone power switch and place the drone on a level surface.② Turn on the remote control power switch.③ Push the left joystick completely up once and completely down once.You will hear two beeps, and the indicator light will change from flashing to constant, indicating that the pairing is successful.
HOW TO CALIBRATE① Long press the geomagnetic calibration button for 3 seconds. The remote control will beep, the drone’s front and rear lights will stay on. You have now entered the geomagnetic calibration mode.② Rotate the drone horizontally. The drone’s rear light stays on, and the horizontal calibration is successful.③ After successful horizontal calibration, the drone is upright and rotated (360°). The front light (red light) on the body stays on, and the calibration is successful.- HOW TO OBTAIN A GPS SIGNALAfter the gyro and geomagnetic calibrations are successful, the drone’s rear light changes from slow flashing to solid. At this time, place the drone on an open, horizontal surface. When the drone’s rear light turns green, the GPS satellite signal has been obtained, and you can take off normally. The process takes a few minutes.Note: The drone can only fly after a GPS signal has been found. If the flight is indoors where a signal can not be obtained, the GPS function can be turned off.To turn it off, tap the remote control GPS switch button. At this time, the remote control will make a sound, indicating that the GPS function is off and you are ready to fly indoors.
