Keep the packing and user manual to refer to the important information within.
Safety Precautions:
This drone is suitable for experienced RC drone users at the age of 14 years and up.
This product contains small parts that should be kept out of the reach of small
children.
(1) Flying Area
The flying field must be legally approved by your local government. Do not fly the
drone near or into any of your local airports. By law, you must not fly a drone
anywhere near an airport that is at least 3 miles away. The area you choose to fly in
must be spacious enough to ensure that no accidents occur. We suggest flying in an
area that is at least 26 feet in length by 26 feet in width.
(2) Correct Use of the Drone
For safety reasons, please only use UDIRC’s spare parts to replace the damaged
ones if the need arises. Improper assembly, a broken main frame, defective
electronic equipment or unskilled operation may cause unpredictable accidents,
potentially resulting in damage to the drone or bodily injury. Please pay special
attention to safety measures during operation and understand the potential accidents
that the user may cause as a result of ignoring such measures.
(3) Keep Away from Obstacles and Crowds
The speed and status of a flying RC drone is uncertain at times and may cause
potential danger. With this in mind, keep away from crowds, buildings, power lines,
etc., when operating a drone. For the safety of the user, do not fly a drone in the rain,
during a storm, through thunder or lightning, or around other people and their
property.

(4) Keep Away From Humid Environments
The internal components of the drone consist of precise electronic equipment.
Humidity and water vapor may cause damage to them and result in an accident, so
take care to watch where you are flying it.
(5) Safe Operation
Please operate the drone in accordance with your flying skill and overall experience
level. Fatigue, lightheaded episodes, and improper operation may increase your
chances of an accident occurring.
(6) Keep Away From Rotating Parts
Rotating parts, such as the propellers and even the motors, may cause serious bodily
injury and damage to the drone. Keep your face, hands, and all body parts away
from rotating parts of the drone.
(7) Keep Away From Heat
The RC drone is made of metal, fiber, plastic, electronic components, etc. You must
therefore keep the drone away from heat and sunshine to avoid distortion and
damage. This is only relevant for areas that experience extreme heat.
(8) The drone should be controlled within the maximum control distance. Do not fly
the drone near buildings, high-voltage cables, or any other area that could cause

outdoor setting.
Heading Hold Mode
Drones generally have a front and rear that is indicated by LED lights or colored
propellers. By default, the users are required to tell the front and the rear of the drone
apart from each other when flying. In Heading Hold Mode, the users can operate the
drone without worrying about the orientation of the drone. Left is left and right is right
all the time, regardless of what your drone is facing. Heading Hold Mode is designed
for beginners and users who are flying in daylight, from a far distance, or who are
having trouble identifying the drone orientation.
Heading Hold Mode is NOT the default setting.
You can activate this function before taking off or while already in flight. When flying
