At this time, the charging indicator light will not illuminate. Then, connect the drone battery to the charging cable, and the red indicator light will come on, meaning its charging. The indicator light will go off when the battery is fully charged in about 90 minutes. Prepare to fly 1. Choose an open indoor space or an outdoor environment with no rain, snow, and wind less than level 4 to fly. Avoid crowded places with people, animals, traffics and obstacles. 2. Slide and lift open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the drone. Plug the drone battery into the power plug (in white) in the battery compartment (Fig. 1). Pay attention to the plug orientation and dont force in. Close the battery compartment door and then press the power button (Fig. 2) to turn on the drone. Place it on a flat surface and wait for pairing. 1. To takeoff, first press the takeoff/landing button (Fig. 1), or simultaneously move the left control stick to the lower-left corner and the right control stick to the lower-right corner (Fig. 2). The propel-

lers will start spinning at low speed. Then push the throttle stick upward gradually, and the drone will take off. When the drone reaches the specific altitude you like, release the throttle stick, and the drone will hover at around that altitude. 1. Low Power Warning: this drone has a safety alert feature designed specifically for situations where the battery is low, causing the drone to land in distant or unsafe areas. When the battery is low, the LED light on the drone changes from steady to flashing as a warning. At this point, you should promptly retrieve the drone, replace the battery, or charge the battery before flying again. 2. To land, press the takeoff/landing button (Fig. 1) during the flight, or continuously pull the throttle stick down (Fig. 3). It will descend slowly to the ground and the propellers will shut down. 3. Emergency Stop: In case of emergency that requires an immediate stop of flight, press and hold the takeoff/landing button (Fig. 1) to activate the emergency stop. The propellers will shut down immediately and the drone will quickly cease operation and fall. Use this only in an emergency when you need to avoid further damage to the surrounding objects. 4. To turn off the drone, press and hold the power button of the drone for 3 seconds. To turn off the controller, press the power button of the controller. 2. Headless mode: a feature that eliminates the need to understand the orientation of the drone when it is in flight. In headless mode, the controls are relative to the user's position rather than that of the drone itself. It can be activated or deactivated by pressing the headless mode button (Fig. 1). 3. Reset Leveling: When the drone hovers significantly off-center, you can recalibrate the drone's midpoint to improve its hover state. Place the drone on a flat surface, then simultaneously moving both control sticks on the controller to the lower-left corner for about 3 seconds (Fig. 2). Once the indicator lights on the drone flash and then return to a steady state after approximately 3 seconds, the recalibra-

tion is complete. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds

(Fig. 1)

(Fig. 2) Open the battery cover on the back of the remote controller. Install three AAA alkaline batteries according to the polarity indicated in the battery compartment. Then securely close the battery cover. (Batteries not included. Do not mix new and old or different types of battery). 3. Pull the left control stick (throttle) down to the lowest position and hold (1), turn on the control-

ler by pressing the power button (2). Push the throttle up from the lowest to the highest position

(3), then pull it back down to the lowest position (4)release the throttle. At this point, the pairing process is complete, and you are ready to fly. Battery Cover AAA Alkaline Batteries 3 1 4 2

(Fig. 1)

(Fig. 2) 4. Throw Launch: The drone utilizes a 6-axis gyroscope, enhancing its playability. By throwing the drone outward or flipping it upwards while pushing the throttle stick up, the drone can smoothly hover in mid-air. 5. Flip Mode: Press the flip button to activate flip, the controller's indicator light will flash and emit a continuous "beep" sound. Ascend the drone to an altitude of over 2 meters, then push the right control stick in any direction and release it. The drone will flip in the corresponding direction. Press the flip button again to deactivate flip mode. Please be sure to read this manual carefully before operating the drone. Do keep this manual for future reference. Wi-Fi FPV Instruction 1. Scan the corresponding QR code using your smartphone to download and install the "VS FPV"

app. iOS Android 2. First, pair the drone with the controller as previously instructed. Enable Wi-Fi in the Settings menu on your phone and locate the "JOBY-*****" network. Click to connect, and exit the settings once its connected. 3. Open the "VS FPV" app to access the welcome screen (Fig. 1). Click on the "CONNECT" button to enter the main interface (Fig. 2). The drone camera image should show up on the screen soon. App Help

Click the "On/Off" icon on the top menu to enter smartphone control mode where virtual control sticks will show up. Follow the same takeoff and landing proce-

dures as the physical controller. 7. Click the ? icon on the welcome screen to enter app help to learn more about the app. FAQ and Troubleshoot Problem Reason Solution Drone indicator light blinking Not responding to controls. 1. The drone and the controller haven't successfully paired. 2. Insufficient battery power in the drone. 1. Refer to the Prepare to fly section to pair the devices again 2. Charge the battery. Drones propellers are spinning but it doesn't takeoff. 1. Insufficient battery power. 2. Damaged propellers. 1. Charge the battery. 2. Replace the propellers. Drone shakes intensely. Damaged propellers. Replace the propellers. The drone still drift while hovering even though the slide and pitch adjustment are maxed out. 1. Damaged propellers. 2. Cause by wind. After a collision, the drone flies erratically in the next flight. The 3-axis accelerometer lost balance due to the collision. 1. Replace the propellers. 2. Drifting is inevitable since its not a GPS-powered drone so it will be pushed by wind. Let the drone sit still for 3-5 seconds, and it should return to normal. Precautions for Using Lithium Batteries 1. The use of lithium batteries carries inherent risks and may lead to significant harm to individu-

als and property. Users assume all related responsibilities. Manufacturers and distributors do not control battery usage (charging, discharging, and storage), nor do they accept liability for any harm to individuals or property caused by such usage. 2. In case of battery leakage, avoid contact between the liquid and your skin or eyes. If it comes into contact with your skin, immediately wash it with soap and water. If it comes into contact with your eyes, rinse with plenty of cold water and seek medical attention immediately. 3. If the charger emits suspicious odors, noise, or smoke, disconnect the power source immedi-

ately. 4. Strictly adhere to the following requirements to avoid fire, electrical shock, or explosions. 5. Charge the battery only with the specialized charger provided by the manufacturer, and do not use damaged or other chargers. 6. Do not charge swollen, leaking, or damaged batteries. 7. Do not overcharge the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, please unplug the charger. After charging is complete, do not recharge the battery to prevent overheating. 8. Do not charge the battery near flammable materials or on the surfaces of flammable (carpets, wooden floors, solid wood furniture, etc.) or conductive objects. Always monitor the battery while charging. 9. Do not charge the battery immediately after use when it is still hot. 10. Charge the battery only in the location with temperature between 0C and 40C. 11. Do not use batteries that are swollen, leaking, damaged, or emitting odors. 12. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. 13. Do not place the battery in a fire, avoid contact between the battery and liquids. The device should not be exposed to rain or placed in a humid environment. Do not put the battery in a micro-
