Main Specifications

Problem Reason Solution
The drone does not respond.	The drone has activated low voltage battery protection.	Recharge the drone's battery.
The transmitter sticks are not sensitive.	Out of flying control range.	Fly the drone within the range of the transmitter's transmission signal.
The drone is unstable when hovering or quickly drifts in one direction.	Balance calibration is needed.	Perform balance calibration, refer to the APP (balance calibration tool).
When in headless mode the forward direction deviates.	Numerous crashes.	Re-set forward direction, refer to the APP (headless mode tool).
The drone does not hold the set altitude.	1. Balance calibration is needed.2. Flying the drone in severe weather.3. Heavy crash impacts gyroscope calculations.	1. Perform balance calibration, refer to the APP (balance calibration tool).2. Avoid flying the drone in severe weather conditions (strong wind, rain, snow, fog, thunder etc).3.
