Frequently Asked Questions - X-bee drone 3.5 Overmax

What type of battery does the drone use?

The drone uses a rechargeable lithium-polymer (Li-Po) battery with a capacity of 3.4V 750mAh.

How long does the drone battery take to charge?

Charging time is approximately 150 minutes (about 2.5 hours) using the included charger at 0.8A.

How do I synchronize the controller with the drone?

1. Move throttle stick to lowest position. 2. Turn controller on. 3. Insert battery and turn drone on. 4. Place drone on flat surface. 5. Push throttle stick forward then backward. The controller beeps and LEDs become steady, indicating successful pairing.

What is Headless Mode and how do I enable it?

In Headless Mode, the drone's forward direction is fixed relative to the pilot regardless of the drone's orientation. Press and hold the designated button for 3 seconds until a beep sounds. The controller beeps every 3 seconds while active.

How does Back Home Mode work?

After takeoff, the drone saves its starting position. Pressing the Back Home button makes the drone fly back to that point. It does not auto-land; you must land manually. Move any direction stick to abort.

How do I install the camera and FPV holder?

Attach the smartphone holder to the stand, then attach it to the controller using the screwdriver. Connect the camera to the drone's WiFi port via cable, and slide the camera into the drone's guides. The holder fits smartphones up to 6 inches.

How do I replace a propeller?

Use a screwdriver to remove the damaged propeller. Attach a new propeller following the orientation diagram in the manual. Ensure correct rotation direction (clockwise vs counterclockwise).

What are the speed modes and how do I change them?

Press the flight speed button to cycle through Slow (1 beep), Normal (2 beeps), and Fast (3 beeps). Mode 4 can be activated by holding the Flip mode button for 3 seconds.

How do I perform 360-degree stunts?

Press the Flip mode button; the controller beeps. While in 3D flip mode, push the direction stick forward, backward, left, or right to perform a flip. Ensure enough space before attempting.

What is the minimum age to operate this drone?

The drone is designed for persons aged 14 and up. Users under 18 must operate under adult supervision. Beginners should seek guidance from an experienced pilot.

SAFETY NOTES FOR LI-POLYMER BATTERIES● Li-Polymer batteries have higher operational risks when compared to ones of other types. Therefore, using them, it is imperative to follow proper operational guidelines. The manufacturer and dealers assume no liability for any damage caused by improper usage.In order to avoid potential fire or explosion do not use any other charger except the one included with the product. DO NOT crush, disassemble, burn, or reverse the polarity of the batteries.To avoid short circuits, do not allow the metal parts to touch the battery terminals. NEVER PUNCTURE BATTERIES;OTHERWISE IT COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.● Battery charging should always be done under adult supervision, and at a location out of the reach of children.● In case of unnatural excessive heating of the batteries please stop using or charging them immediately. Otherwise, it may cause their swelling, deformation or explosion thereby increasing the risk of fire.**PLEASE DISPOSE USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS IN SPECIAL RECYCLE SPOTS. DO NOT DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERIES IN THE HOUSEHOLD TRASHDO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT

KEEP AWAY FROM HEATR/C models are made from various forms of plastic that is very susceptible to damage or deformation due to extremely high and low temperatures. Therefore, the product should not be used or stored in places where it would be exposed to extreme temperatures.

OBTAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF AN EXPERIENCED DRONE PILOTAlthough the product can be treated as a toy, it is not intended for those under fourteen years of age. Those, who are inexperienced in piloting remote-controlled drones, must know that there will be a slight learning curve until you become a skilled pilot. In order to make it easier to gain this skill we recommend exercises under the supervision of professional drone pilots.
