7.5 Compass Calibration
7.5.1 Scenarios Requiring Compass Calibration
1. Compass calibration is required for first time using.
2. Flying at a location further than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone was last flown.
DO NOT calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur such as close to
magnetite deposits or large metallic structures such as metal mines, steel reinforced basements,
bridges, cars, or scaffolding.
DO NOT carry objects that contain ferromagnetic materials such as mobile phones near the drone
during calibration.
Make sure the drone is at least 1m above the ground during the calibration.
It is not necessary to calibrate the compass when flying indoors.
7.5.2 Calibration Procedure
When you get the prompt “Calibration failed” in the App repeatedly, change the location and try the
calibration procedure again.
Do not calibrate compass while arms are folded.
7.6 Beginner Mode
The drone is automatically set to Beginner Mode for first-time use. In beginner mode:
1. The flight distance and height will be restricted at 0~30m
2. The speed level will be restricted at Video mode
3. The beginners are suggested to learn and master the drone in beginner mode

Choose an open area to carry out the following procedure.
1. When calibration is required, the App will pop up the calibration interface automatically, just
tap “Start calibration”, and the tail indicator will alternatively flash in red and green.
2. Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it 360° till the app shows vertical calibration, and the tail
indicator will alternatively flash blue and green.
3. Hold the drone vertically and rotate it 360° around a vertical axis till the App prompts the
calibration completed.
You can also trigger compass calibration manually in the App: Settings-Calibration-Compass
Calibration.
