• The battery,drone and charging adapter included in the delivery go together and should always be used in combination.

• Fully charge thebattery of the drone beforeusing it for the rst time.

• Open the battery compartment cover of the battery bay (4) on the underside of the drone.

• Remove the battery of the drone.

• Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the battery.9

• Connect the unused plug on the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer or another suitable USB charger.Please refer to the operating instructions for the USB charger used.

• The LED indicator of the USB charging plug is lit red during charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED indicator goes out.

• Remove the connection cable from the battery bay (4) of the drone.

• Connect the charged battery to the connection cable.

• Put the connected battery back into the battery bay (4) and then close the battery compartment cover. Warning –rechargeable battery

• Only use suitable charging devices with USB connections for charging.

• As arule, do not use charging devices or USB connections that aredefective and do not try to repair them yourself.

• Do not overcharge the product or allow the battery to completely discharge.

• Avoid storing, charging or using batteries in extreme temperatures.

• When stored over along period of time, batteries should be charged regularly (at least every three months).

• After every ight and beforecharging, allow the motors and the battery to completely cool!

• Continually monitor charging!

• Stop charging immediately if the battery becomes hot and/or deformed!

• Use aheat-resistant, re-proof surface for charging! Note –charging/battery capacity

• The battery comes partially charged. Initial charging may thereforetake less time.

• After acharging time of 60 minutes, the ying time is approximately 8-10 minutes.

• The actual ying time varies according to use of the product, the settings and ambient conditions (for example, temperatures below 5°C and above 25°C reduce battery capacity).

7.1 Pairing the drone with the remote control

• Place the drone on alevel surface.

• Move the slide switch (7) on the drone to the ON position. The LEDs (5) begin to ash.

• Press the on/off switch (12) to switch on the remote control.

• Move the left control lever (2) all the way up.

• Then move the left control lever (2) all the way down.

• Twosignal tones areemitted to conrm the pairing. The drone’sLED indicator (5) and that of the remote control (12) arenow permanently lit.

• Control the drone only with minimal movements of the control levers so as to ensuresmooth ight behaviour.

• Avoid jerky movements. The drone could get out of control.

• The direction specications assume that the drone is in front of you and facing forward, or is in Actual Direction mode (see Section 7.4)10 Taking off and climbing Left control

• To launch your drone or to gain altitude, move the left control lever (2) on the remote control upwards. Landing and descending Left control

• To land the drone or to descend to alower altitude, move the left control lever (2) on the remote control downwards. Flying left and right Right control

• To y the drone left, move the right control lever (9) on the remote control to the left. Right control

• To y the drone right, move the right control lever (9) on the remote control to the right. Flying forwards and backwards Right control

• To y the drone forwards, move the right control lever (9) on the remote control upwards. Right control

• To y the drone backwards, move the right control lever (9) on the remote control downwards. Turning left or right Left control

• To turn the drone left, move the left control lever (2) on the remote control to the left. Left control

• To turn the drone right, move the left control lever (2) on the remote control to the right.11 Loops –only for experienced pilots! Note –Loops and 360° rolls

• Press the Loop button 1(1) to perform aloop.

• Press the Loop button 2(8) and then move the right control lever (9) to the left or right to perform a360° roll sideways.

7.3 Tweaking the control (trimming)

• The drone should be smooth and stable in the air, and should y only in the direction that is set using the control.

• After acertain time, theremay be slight directional tilts even though the control levers areinthe resting/ neutral position.

• These directional tilts can be eliminated by trimming the control. Left/right

• If the drone continually tilts to the right during the ight, briey push the Tweaking button (11) to the left. Repeat this step until the drone is aligned.

• If the drone continually tilts to the left during the ight, briey push the Tweaking button (11) to the right. Repeat this step until the drone is aligned. Forwards/backwards

• If the drone continually tilts forwards during the ight, briey push the Tweaking button (10) downwards. Repeat this step until the drone is aligned.

• If the drone continually tilts backwards during the ight, briey push the Tweaking button (10) upwards. Repeat this step until the drone is aligned.

• If Actual Direction mode is activated, the control of the drone when sending commands is guided by the position of the pilot.

• If you move the right control lever (9) upwards/ downwards, the drone ies away from you /towards you.

• If you move the right control lever (9) to the left/right, the drone ies left/right.

• The ight direction and position of the drone is irrelevant in this mode.

• Make surethat you remain in the position that you take during calibration with the remote control.12

• Position the drone directly in front of you so that its fuselage points away from you and in the desired ight direction.

• Hold the remote control such that it points to the rear part of the drone in adirect line.

• Launch the drone and y it at asteady altitude.

• Press the Actual Direction mode button (7) during the ight to activate the Actual Direction mode.

• The Actual Direction mode is conrmed through two signal tones and fast ashing of the drone’sLED indicator (5).

• If you press the Actual Direction mode button (7) again, the mode is deactivated. Asignal tone will sound and the LED indicator (5) of the drone is now constantly lit.

• When you switch on the product, the drone is in low speed mode.

• Experienced pilots can increase the drone’sspeed by setting the top speed mode.

• Press the [H] button (3) to increase the drone’sspeed to the highest speed.

• Twosignal tones conrm the highest setting.

• Press the [L] button (5) to limit the drone’sspeed to the lowest speed.

• Asignal tone conrms the lowest setting.

7.6 Changing the rotor blades

• Undo the screw of the rotor blade with the included screwdriver.

• Remove the existing rotor blade.

• Place the new rotor blade on the motor shaft. Make surethat the rotor blades aremounted as shown in the diagram, as otherwise the rotation direction will not be correct and no drive is generated.

7.7 Switching off the drone

• Move the slide switch (7) on the drone to the OFF position.

• Press the on/off switch (12) to switch off the remote control.13
