Product features

1. Low-voltage Protection:
When the two indicator lights at the rear of
the drone start flashing, it means that the front indicator light
drone's battery power is low. At this time, (WiFi signal light) red

please control the drone return.The drone

will automatically slow down when it is
short of power.
rear indicator light
2. Over-current Protection: (Flight control light) green

If the drone encounters a direct impact from

a foreign object,or is obstructed, or if the
blades are not rotating, the drone will go into
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 rear LED light indicator on
the drone will blink rapidly, and it will return
back to the normal status after about 2
to 3 seconds. The level calibration is
successful.

-5-
4. Fast/Slow Speed Function:
Slow speed by default when first powered-on.
Possible to switch the function mode of fast/
slow speed by pressing in on the right joystick
for a short time. It is switched into fast speed
mode when two “beep” sounds come from the
remote control,pressing in on 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 then switched back into slow 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 3M
above the ground, push 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 3M
drone will now execute the Front/Back/Left/Right
stunt flip action.

Note: Drone will have the best stunt flip action when the batteries
are fully charged.

6. Auto Hover Function:

After using the left joystick (throttle)
to control the ascending / descending
flight of the drone,release the left
joystick (accelerator) and the drone
will hover at that height when the
joystick is released.

7. Headless function:
1. Defining forward direction:

1. Push on the power button of the

remote control.

 2. Press the power button on the top of the drone
Front to 1-2s make sure the drone is turned“ON”, and
Left Right adjust the specified direction of the drone’s head
Back under the headless mode as the new forward
direc.
3. 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. Calibration for the definition of the front:

1. 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 rear LED light indicator
of the drone is in a long “ON” mode after
slowly flashing for 3 seconds, it indicates the
calibration is complete.

3. Toggling between headless function and normal function:

1. 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.
Pressing in on 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 are led lights which flicker once every
four seconds)
