substan ce and may be harmf ul if misused. T his activi ty is not intend ed for
children u nder the age of 12. N ot to be used by child ren except under ad ult
superv ision. Wash hand s after sold ering.
Before You Begin
Instill g ood working h abits. A sol dering iron is n ot a toy.
• Prepare a clea n, unclutte red workspace wi th no distrac tions.
• Verify al l tools and par ts.
• Review inst ructions . Attention to det ail is critic al.
Soldering
1. Insert t he component l eads through t he
correct pa ds on the PCB.
2. Press the i ron to the pad to heat t he pad. Do
not move the iro n. Instead, tou ch the solder
to the pad. F low enough sol der to ll the ho le
and hold t he component , but not too much.
3. Trim the exces s lead as closely as p ossible to
the PCB.
Caution: Be careful when sold ering and tr imming
leads. Protec tive eyeware is reco mmended.

CAUTION:
• Use only th e supplied li thium batter y and cable , or ones with th e same
specic ation to charge. U sing any other bat teries, cab les or dierent
specic ations may dama ge the drone.
• After pla ying, let the b attery cool fo r at least 20 minu tes before chargin g.
Pairing
1. Turn on the d rone. The LEDs as h.
2. Place t he drone on level g round.
3. Turn on th e remote control. Th e remote control’s L ED ashes.
4. Move th e throttle all t he way up and the n down to
pair the rem ote control with t he drone. The dron e’s
blades rem ain still dur ing pairin g. When paired , the
LEDs on both t he remote control an d drone light
steadily.
Note: If pai ring fails, t urn o the drone a nd remote control
and repeat t he steps above, or ch ange locati ons to avoid
electr ical interf erence.
Fly
1. Aft er pairing, p ush the steeri ng control in to sw itch
between a dvanced mode to y in high spee d
(double be ep) and beginn er mode to y in lo w speed
(single be ep).
2. With t he drone on the g round, move the t hrottle
forward to as cend. To avoid ground ai r turbulence ,
y the dron e at least 1 ft. (30 cm) o the ground .
IMPORTANT: If your d rone crashes upsi de down, pull
the thrott le down and swi tch o the remote cont rol rst.
Never touch t he drone when pro pellers are st ill moving.
Tri m
Move the throt tle forward a nd see how the dro ne reacts.
Note: The remote control be eps when you press a t rim control but s tops

Stunt s
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is enoug h space for the dron e to perform st unts
withou t crashing into ob jects or pe ople.
1. Push t he throttle con trol in so that the re mote

Tro u bl e sh o ot i ng
Drone does n ot respond
• Make sure the d rone and remote cont rol are switched o n and paired.
• Drone batte ry maybe low. Ful ly charge the bat tery. See “Cha rge the Drone
Battery.“
• Make sure the d rone is within t he control rang e (65 ft./20 m) and in l ine of
sight.
Drone dic ult to control
• Adjust th e propellers by h and. If you can not adjust the m, replace wit h the
spare propel lers.
• The thrott le control is ver y sensitive. Use s mall, ne move ments to control .
• Practice a t low speed mode . See “Fly.“
Drone swer ves / runs erra tically bef ore take o
• The gyroscop e inside your dro ne needs cali brating. Do t he followin g:
1. With yo ur drone and remote co ntrol switche d on and paired, p lace the
drone on leve l ground.
2. Move the t hrottle all th e way down and the
steerin g forward at the s ame time. Hol d this
position fo r a few seconds unti l the drone LEDs
start to b link.
3. When t he LEDs light s teadily, release t he controls.

• When yi ng indoors, ke ep the drone away f rom walls, air con ditionin g, air
vents, fa ns, breakabl e objects, a nd other obst acles.
• Do not y the d rone near or at othe r people or an imals.
• Keep eyes, han ds, hair, and loose cl othing away fro m moving propel lers.
• Adult sup ervision is re commended at a ll times.
• Do not y your d rone over private p roperty wh ere you are not welcom ed.
• Do not y your d rone where emerg ency responde rs are working , or
emergenc y aircraft are o perating.
