Product Features

1. One Key Return：When using the one key return function (Figure 1) or the drone auto-return when it is out of control or in low-voltage, the front and rear lights turn red, and the drone will return home immediately if it at the range of 20 meters, if the drone is beyond the range of 20 meters, it will ascend at about 25 meters altitude first,  then return home, and the drone will back to the record point at last. Long press the one key return button again, the drone will exit return mode except it is auto return with low-voltage, but when the drone flies to the second range it can be canceled return(Figure 2) When the drone returns home, manual operation to avoid obstacle is allowed, and it will continue to return if stopped manual operation. The return point will be a few errors caused by the environment, it’s a normal phenomenon.

Note:1.When the GPS signal is weak or not work, the green light of the drone will turn orange, and it will fail to return home and get the GPS coordinates, and it needs to be controlled to return home manually.2.When the drone is low-voltage, stop other operation and control it to return, otherwise, it will fall down or crash when over low-voltage.

2. Low-voltage 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.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.

4. 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.

5. 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 a 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.

6.Photo/ Video Shooting Function:

①Photo shooting function: Press the Photo button, the drone indicator and the red indicator light on the camera will flash once when the photo has been taken.② Video shooting function: Press the Video button, the drone indicator and the red indicator light on the camera will flash twice, and then turn long bright, it indicates the video is recording, press the Video button again, the indicator light on the drone is long bright, indicating the recording is complete.7. Adjustable function of the cameraAs shown on the right, press the button A or B to adjust the camera angle in corresponding upward or downward.

8. GPS Coordinates & Aerial Photography :After the drone complete recording the return point, it can take aerial photography at the fixed point accurately, the camera will able to take the photo or record the video by adjusting the camera angle up and down at the range of 0-90 degree.In the wide place, the flying range is more than 180 meters, and the Limit height of the GPS coordinates is about 35 meters.

9. Auto 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.

10. Headless Function:① Defining forward direction:● Press on the power button of the remote control.

● Connect the battery to the drone, press the power button of the drone, and adjust the specified direction f 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.

2. Toggling between headless function and normal function:● After the drone is matched with the corresponding frequency, the drone would be in the 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).

● 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 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.
