Proton Z DIAGRAMREMOTE DIAGRAMLanding Gear ON/OFFButtonRear Rotor Blade (black color)FLYING TIPS• It is recommended that you operate the Proton Z 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 Proton Z with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the Proton Z in zero wind conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the Proton Z.Important! When syncing your Proton Z copter with the controller always make sure that the copter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings.Your Proton Z™ utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range.For One Person Play:1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and Proton Z are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the Proton Z and set it down on a flat surface. The white and red LED indicators at the bottom of the Proton Z body should flash.3. Turn ON the remote, the power indicator should flash in green color and you will hear rapidally beep, pull the throttle all the way down, the white and red LED indicators on the protonZ will change to still, and the remote power indicator change to solid red. This indicates that your Proton Z and remote have successfully synced. Should this not happen, repeat all steps again. For Multi Person Play: 4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Proton Zs and Controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.5. Each person will have to sync their Proton Z individually at a different time to avoid interference.
