NEUTRON™ DIAGRAMREMOTE DIAGRAMFLYING TIPS• It is recommended that you operate the Neutron™ in a wide space. The ideal space should have a 200 foot radius. • Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.• If you are flying the Neutron™ with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the Neutron™ in zero wind conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the Neutron™.Important! When syncing your Neutron™ quadrocopter with the controller always make sure that the quadrocopter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This ensures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings. Your Neutron™ utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range with no interference.For One Person Play:1. Before starting, make sure that the power on your controller is in the OFF position and the Neutron™’s battery is disconnected. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Connect the Neutron™’s battery and set it down on a flat surface. The white LED indicators on the top of the body should begin to flash.3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear a dual beep, the white LED lights on the top of the drone shouldchange to solid. Pull the throttle all the way down and then all the way up. A beep signals that your controller and the quadrocopter are successfully synced. Should this not happen, repeat above steps again. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Neutrons and Controllers are OFF. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.5. Each person will have to sync their Neutron™ individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 6. After syncing a player’s Neutron™, it should be left ON until all players have synced their quadrocopters. 7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and quadrocopters for 60 seconds and then begin the process again. NOTE: If there is no Micro SD card inserted in the Drone, the red LED’s will flash constantly.SYNCING YOUR NEUTRON™ Power Indicator LightThrottle Control Speed Indicator Lights 360˚Stunt Rolls/Speed buttonForward TrimBackward TrimDirectionalControlsPower On/OffLeft Banking TrimRight Bank Trim• Verify that there are 2 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the Neutron™ has been fully charged.• Make sure your Neutron™ and controller are both turned on. • Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet. • Make sure the empty space has no obstacles and river.
