    INSUFFICIENT POWER

    CAUTION:

    1. When there is insufficient power, the Quadcopter will start Auto-Return. When safe return is confirmed, please DO NOT

    operate the transmitter any more. If it is not safe, you can push the throttle lever to raise the flying height and control the

    steering direction of the Quadcopter so as to fly it to the appropriate area for landing.

    2. Please make sure the Quadcopter can return and make landing in order to prevent the Quadcopter from causing danger to

    other Quadcopter , people or animal after losing power.

    BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS

    1. Please avoid the following objects on the track of the Quadcopter for example, the people, animal, tiny things (such as the

    branch or electric wire etc.) or the transparent object (such as the glass or water).

    2. Pay more attention to the surrounding object of the Quadcopter (especially the backward or the left or right direction) and

    avoid any accident (such as colliding accident) through manual operation.

    3. Be ready any time for manual control the Quadcopter or click the “STOP” on the screen in case of any Emergency Condition.

    4. When initiating the Return Home or Follow Me functions, surrounding the Quadcopter. Be aware of your surroundings.*

    *WARNING: This drone is NOT equipped with obstacle avoidance

    PRECISION HOLD

    After syncing your quadcopter, press the One-key Take-off to begin your flight. The quadcopter will liftoff and stay steadily at

    the current height. Push the throttle lever up and down, to increase or decrease the height accordingly. Release the throttle to

    set the new drone height.
