Safety Precautions

Please read the included CASA ﬂyer ‘Flying with control’.

Learn and be aware of the laws and restrictions when ﬂying

your drone. Do not ﬂy your Alpha Drone any closer than

5.5km to any airﬁeld, or any closer than 30 metres to boats,

buildings, people, or animals. Be aware of your surroundings

and exercise caution when using your drone. For more

information on this go to http://www.casa.gov.au/ within

Australia, or your local aviation authority if you are outside of

Australia. Do not attempt to open the housing of the Alpha

Drone, battery, or the remote control, or attempt to modify

it in any way. Any unauthorised tampering with the product

will void the warranty and may aect the operation of your

drone. Only charge the battery with the included cable. Do

not leave your battery unattended whilst charging.

Pre-ﬂight

Connect the battery to the included USB battery charger to

begin charging. Use this charging time to familiarise yourself

with the operation and controls of your new drone.

6

water and other liquids. If water or other liquids come into

contact with the Alpha Drone, battery, or Transmitter, do not

operate. This product is not suitable for those 14 years and

under.

Drone Battery Safety

Please do not leave the drone battery in direct sunlight or

expose to extreme temperatures. Do not leave charging

batteries unattended. Do not store batteries in any clothing

pockets or on your person at any time. Do not bend,

crush, scrape, or puncture battery. If a battery is damaged

or misshapen, carefully dispose of the damaged unit

immediately and correctly.

Warnings concerning the use of the

battery

• Lithium Polymer batteries are extremely hazardous and

liable to cause serious injuries to persons or property.

The user accepts liability for the use of a Lithium Poly-

Set up

Charging

Plug your USB charging cable into a powered USB port

(wall adaptor not included). When connected correctly,

the USB plug will glow red. Connect your battery to the

USB charging cable. When charging correctly, the red light

should turn o. The red light will turn back on once charging

is complete (to avoid shortening battery life, do not remove

the battery from charge until charge sequence is complete).

Initial Assembly

Alpha Drone Feet

Insert the feet into the guide holes on the underside of

the Alpha Drone, in the allocated position. Push the Alpha

Drones feet into the underside of the body until the feet are

secure and ﬂush against the body of the Alpha Drone.

Rotor blade guards

Insert rotor blade guards into guide holes in the allocated

position. Use the included screwdriver to secure the

propeller guards to the Alpha Drone, making sure not to

over-tighten.

Camera

Ensure that the camera cable is connected to the Alpha

Drone and insert the Micro SD card* into the allocated slot.

Battery

Slide the battery hatch out on the Alpha Drone and lift

gently to open. With the Alpha Drone turned o, insert the

battery into the opening with the cable end facing outward,

ready for connection. Plug the battery cable into the socket,

then close and lock the hatch by sliding gently back in place.

*Micro SD card not included

13

English

Transmitter

Using the provided screwdriver, unscrew the battery ﬂap on

the rear of the transmitter. Take care to place the removed

screw in a safe place so it is not lost. Insert 6 x AA batteries

(not included) into the transmitter and replace the battery

ﬂap. Replace the screw, making sure not to over tighten.

Flight Planning

Ensure that you are at least 5.5kms from any airﬁeld and

you are adhering to any regulations and laws laid out by

your local aviation authority. Do a COMPLETE check of

your surroundings, look for hazards above, in front and

behind you. Be especially aware of things like power lines

and nearby people and animals. If these hazards exist, DO

NOT deploy your Alpha Drone and consider a new take-o

location.

14

English

Take-o Preparation

Turn on the Remote Control and ensure that the left stick is

in the down position.

Turn on your Alpha Drone and place it on stable ground.

Ensure the Alpha Drone is facing away from you (black

propeller blades and downwards facing white LED lights

indicate the front of the drone).

Before you deploy your Alpha Drone, the downwards facing

lights on the Alpha Drone should be constant. If they are

ﬂashing:

a. The remote control has not connected to the Alpha

Drone, try turning the drone o and on again.

b. The battery in the Alpha Drone is low, remove the bat-

tery and connect it to the USB charger.

c. The left Stick is not in its lowest position. Move the left

stick to the lowest point and wait 3 - 4 seconds for

connection conﬁrmation

Before you deploy your Alpha Drone, the red light on the

remote control should be constant. If it is ﬂashing:

a. The remote has not connected to the Alpha Drone, try

turning the remote o and on again.

b. The batteries in the remote control are low, remove them

and replace with a fresh 6 x AA batteries.

c. The left Stick is not in its lowest position. Move the left

stick to the lowest point and wait 3 - 4 seconds for

connection conﬁrmation

Stand at least 2 meters away from your Alpha Drone before

deployment.

Deploy!

Indicators

There are LED lights on the underside of the Alpha Drone

that indicate when the Alpha Drone is operational (constant)

or when the Alpha Drone is running low on battery

(ﬂashing). It is important to pay attention to the indicators

to avoid an uncontrolled landing, potentially putting your

drone and its surrounds at risk.

Modes

The Mode switch swaps the Yaw and Pitch controllability on

the thumb sticks.

High/Low

There are four sensitivity levels for the Alpha Drone that can

be cycled through by using the High/Low button on the

Transmitter.

These sensitivity levels increase and decrease the overall

responsiveness of the thumb sticks on the Transmitter.

The Alpha Drone will start up in the lowest sensitive level

25% responsiveness (advised level for learners). Pressing

the High/Low button once will enter the medium sensitivity

level 50% responsiveness. The Transmitter will beep twice

and indicate the sensitivity on the Motor Power indicator.

Pressing the High/Low button again the Transmitter will

beep three times and show the high responsiveness setting

of 75% on the Motor Power indicator.

Pressing the High/Low button a third time will assign

the highest sensitivity level which will be indicated by

four beeps and the Motor Power indicator displaying

100% responsiveness. The 100% Motor Power mode is for

advanced pilots. This mode also enables 360° ﬂips. Please

refer to the 360° Flips section for further information.

18

English

Pressing the High/Low button again will return the

sensitivity level to the lowest setting.

Trimming (ﬁne tuning)

Control of the Alpha Drone can be trimmed using the ﬁne-

tuning buttons on the Transmitter. If the Alpha Drone is

drifting o during a hover or other ﬂight manoeuvre, these

buttons are used to counter this drift. The calibration is

displayed on the display screen of the transmitter. You will

see the trimming levels displayed in the ﬁne-tuning bars

on the display which will show in which direction the drone

controls have been trimmed. To reset all trimming and

calibration, hold the Reset button for ﬁve seconds.

19

English

360˚Flip

To perform a forward ﬂip press the creatively named Flip

button! The drone will launch forward and descend during

the ﬂip so make sure that the drone is at an adequate height

before performing this manoeuvre.

Advanced Flip Mode

The Drone also features an advanced ﬂip mode that will

enable it to ﬂip in all directions.

To use this feature please toggle the through the High/Low

settings until you reach 100%; the Transmitter will emit 4

consecutive beeps.

The drone will emit a beeping sound while the throttle has

power. This indicates that whilst in this mode the right stick

will let you ﬂip the drone in any direction.

The right control stick when pushed to its extreme in any

direction will ﬂip the drone. Please note the sensitivity is

increased and this mode is for advanced pilots.

Ensure you have given the drone at least 5 metres of

clearance.

To return back to normal ﬂight mode, press the High/Low

button toggle.
