  If your Amax Drone is not responding, first ensure that the remote is switched on using the ON/OFF switch. Then, check and replace the remote batteries if they are weak. If the issue persists, re-sync the remote. Also, make sure that you are within the control range (do not fly beyond 400 feet).

The ASC-2400 is an HD Video Drone designed for outdoor use, offering a range of features for both novice and experienced pilots.

Function Description:

The ASC-2400 is a remote-controlled drone equipped with an on-board digital camera capable of streaming video and capturing still photographs directly to a mobile device. It features push-button Auto Start, Hover, and Auto Land technology for ease of use. A built-in 6-axis gyro and altitude sensors ensure incredibly stable flight, while a high-efficiency Li-Poly battery extends flight time. Its "Go-Anywhere" folding frame design makes it portable for easy transportation. The drone can perform 360° stunt rolls and offers three-speed settings (SLOW, MEDIUM, HIGH) to accommodate different skill levels. It is controlled by a 2.4G wireless controller, which requires 4 AAA alkaline batteries. The drone itself is powered by a rechargeable Li-Poly battery, charged via an included USB charger.

Important Technical Specifications:

Camera: 1280 x 720 pixels, 25 frames per second, capable of video and still photography.
Flight Stability: Built-in 6-axis gyro and altitude sensors.
Battery (Drone): Li-Poly rechargeable battery.
Charging Time (Drone): Approximately 130-150 minutes via 5.0V-2A USB wall charger.
Flight Time (Drone): 15-18 minutes (depending on environment and user input).
Controller Battery: 4x 1.5 volt "AAA" Alkaline Batteries (included).
Control Frequency: 2.4G Wireless.
Speed Settings: 3 modes (SLOW, MEDIUM, HIGH).
Recommended Flight Environment: Large open space (preferably a field or park) with an open radius of at least 400 feet, with zero or extremely light wind conditions for beginners.
Mobile Device Compatibility: Apple® iOS devices require iOS 10.0 or higher; ANDROID™ devices require OS 4.2.2 or higher.
FCC Compliance: Complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. The transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and the user's body or nearby persons.

Usage Features:

Remote Control Battery Installation: Unscrew and remove the battery cover from the back of the controller, install 4 AAA alkaline batteries, replace the cover, and press the power button. Two beeps and a lit power indicator confirm correct installation.
Charging the Drone Battery: Insert the USB charger into the battery charging socket on the drone, connect the USB end to a computer's USB port or a USB wall charger. A red LED indicator light illuminates during charging and turns off when complete.
Installing the Drone Battery: Carefully push the fully charged battery into the drone's battery compartment until it stops and is flush with the back of the drone. The battery only fits one way; do not force it.
Expanding/Folding Arms: Ensure drone power is off. Hold the folded drone and open the arms, starting with the front arms and then the rear arms. Ensure arms are fully extended and locked into place (some pressure indicates proper lock). Reverse steps to fold. Avoid using hard force.
Flight Preparation: Verify controller batteries are installed and drone battery is fully charged. Fly in a large open space (400 ft radius) on a clean, flat level surface. Avoid flying in windy conditions, especially for beginners.
Syncing: Before starting, ensure controller power is off and drone battery is removed. Insert drone battery, place on flat surface, press and hold drone power button (red LEDs flash rapidly, then slow). Turn on remote (top red LED flashes). Push throttle stick all the way up and then all the way down (two beeps). Drone and controller indicator lights become solid when synced. Syncing indoors or in shade can help see LED indicators.
Recognizing Front/Rear: The front/forward-facing direction is the side with the camera. The rear/backward-facing direction is the side with a red light.
Starting/Stopping Rotors:
- Auto Start/Land: Press the auto START/LAND button on the controller. Drone will automatically take off or land. Direction can still be controlled during auto ascent/descent.
- Manual Start/Stop: Move both control sticks simultaneously down to the inside or outside corners and hold until rotors spin. Release sticks to neutral, then push throttle up to take off. To stop, land the drone (rotors stop in 10 seconds) or move both control sticks simultaneously down to the inside or outside bottom corners.
- Emergency Stop: Press the "speed setting button" and "stunt button" simultaneously to stop drone blades.
Speed Select Button: Press the speed setting button on the remote to cycle through 3 speed settings (1-SLOW, 2-MEDIUM, 3-HIGH). Beeping sounds indicate speed changes.
Flight Control: Basic inputs include moving the left throttle stick up/down for ascent/descent, left/right for horizontal rotation. Moving the right direction control stick forward/backward for forward/backward movement, and left/right for banking/sweeping left/right.
Adjusting Trim: If the drone drifts forward/backward, use forward/backward trim buttons. If it drifts left/right, use left/right trim buttons. If it spins left/right, use rotational trim buttons. Short beeps indicate one trim position movement; a long beep indicates center trim position. No beeps indicate maximum trim. If still unstable, re-sync and re-calibrate.
Calibrating: Place drone on a very flat level surface, ensure it's on and synced. Move both throttle and control sticks down and to the right-hand bottom corner. Drone lights will rapidly flash and stop, indicating successful calibration. If lights don't flash, remove battery, turn off controller, and restart, ensuring battery is in before turning on controller. Re-sync by pushing left throttle stick all the way up and down.
360° Stunt Rolls: Hover drone at least 6 feet clearance. Set speed to mode 2 or 3. Press the 360 stunt button (rapid beeping sound). Use right control stick to push directly right for a "right side roll" or directly left for a "left side roll." Press stunt button again to exit stunt roll mode.
Installing Phone Holder: Turn controller to the back, click the top two teeth of the phone holder into the two holes on the top of the controller, then click in the bottom. Pull from the bottom to remove.
Camera Video and Photo Streaming Setup: Scan the appropriate QR code for the ASC-2400 App (Android Play Store or Apple Store) or manually enter the web address. Install the app. Follow the "TUTORIAL" in the app for connecting/pairing the drone and recording film/photos.

Maintenance Features:

Propeller Replacement: The ASC-2400 has four sets of blades, marked A & B. Match the indication markings/letters on the blades when replacing. Unscrew and remove the damaged blade, then replace with the correct new blade.
Battery Warnings:
- Rechargeable Battery: Li-Poly rechargeable. Dispose of properly if it no longer holds a charge.
- Controller Batteries: Replace all 4 AAA batteries at once. Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Rechargeable batteries must be removed for charging (if removable) and charged under adult supervision. Exhausted batteries should be removed immediately and recycled/disposed of properly. Supply terminals are not to be short-circuited. Use only recommended battery type. Insert batteries with correct polarity. Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Care and Maintenance: Remove batteries from the wireless remote control when not in extended use. Gently wipe remote control and drone with a clean damp cloth.
