Opstelling
1. Charging the Drone Battery:
- Connect the drone's rechargeable battery to the USB charging cable.
- Plug the USB cable into a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
- Die aanwyserliggie op die USB-kabel sal tydens laai brand en afskakel wanneer dit volledig gelaai is. Laai duur gewoonlik 60-90 minute.
- Do not overcharge the battery. Disconnect once charging is complete.
2. Installing Remote Control Batteries:
- Maak die batterykompartement aan die agterkant van die afstandbeheer oop.
- Insert 4 x "AA" batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Maak die batterykompartement stewig toe.
3. Pairing the Drone and Remote Control:
- Plaas die hommeltuig op 'n plat, gelyk oppervlak.
- Turn on the drone's power switch. The drone's LED lights will flash.
- Skakel die afstandbeheerder se kragskakelaar aan.
- Push the left (throttle) stick all the way up, then pull it all the way down.
- The drone's LED lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
Bedryfsinstruksies
Basiese vlugkontroles:
| Beheer | Aksie |
|---|---|
| Linkerstok Op/Af | Increase/Decrease Altitude (Throttle) |
| Left Stick Left/Right | Draai links/regs (Yaw) |
| Regterstok op/af | Beweeg vorentoe/agtertoe (toonhoogte) |
| Right Stick Left/Right | Beweeg links/regs (Rol) |
Opstyg en landing:
- Opstyg: After pairing, slowly push the left (throttle) stick up to lift the drone off the ground.
- Landing: Slowly pull the left (throttle) stick down until the drone gently lands. Release the stick once landed.
Kalibrasie:
If the drone drifts during flight, it may need calibration. Place the drone on a flat surface, then simultaneously pull both control sticks down and to the right until the LED lights flash and then become solid, indicating successful calibration.
Performing Flips:
To perform a 360-degree flip, fly the drone to a height of at least 6 feet. Press the dedicated "Flip" button on the remote control, then immediately push the right directional stick in the desired flip direction (forward, backward, left, or right).
Onderhoud
Skoonmaak:
Gently wipe the drone's body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the drone in water.
Propeller vervanging:
If a propeller is damaged, carefully remove it by pulling it straight up from the motor shaft. Replace it with a new propeller, ensuring it is pressed firmly onto the shaft. Match the propeller type (A or B) to the corresponding motor as indicated on the drone.
Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Drone reageer nie op afstandbeheer nie. | Not paired; low battery (drone/remote); out of range. | Re-pair drone; charge drone battery; replace remote batteries; ensure drone is within range. |
| Drone dryf tydens vlug. | Nie gekalibreer nie; ongelyke oppervlak by opstyg; windinmenging. | Perform calibration on a flat surface; avoid flying in windy conditions. |
| Skroewe draai nie. | Obstruction; damaged motor/propeller; low battery. | Check for obstructions; replace damaged propellers; charge battery. |
| Kort vlugtyd. | Battery nie volledig gelaai nie; verouderende battery. | Ensure full charge; consider replacing battery if performance degrades significantly. |
