Required Tools

• Solderi ng Iron

• Lead-free Sold er

• Diagona l Cutter

Notes: This k it contains el ectronic com ponents th at may contain haza rdous

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

specic ation to charge. U sing any other bat teries, cab les or dierent

specic 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

2. Afte r playing, tu rn o the remote cont rol and

drone.

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

control bee ps repeatedly to en ter stunt mode.

2. Use th e steering cont rol to perform s tunts:

3. Th e drone automat ically exit s stunt mode af ter

perfor ming a stunt.

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 dic 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.

Calibra tion is complet e and you are now ready f or

takeo.

• See “Tr im ” if necess ary to ne tun e and improve cont rol of your drone af ter

calibration.

Fly Safely

• When yi ng outdoors, ke ep the drone away f rom power lines , trees, weeds,

and water.

• 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.
