drone and / or damaged remote.
Users of this product should be aware of the risks of potential damage and should therefore use it with
great caution.
. Avoid the crowds and obstacles : the speed and behavior of the drone can sometimes be unstable,
it is strongly advised to use it in places away from the crowds, tall buildings or trees, high voltage
cables, to prevent injury to the user or other persons or damages to the drone.
2. Do not fly the drone in bad weather (rain, wind, storm) to prevent damages or lost. Keep away
from wet places to avoid dis-functioning of electronic parts.
3. Do not use the drone if you're tired because the control requires maximum concentration. Be very
careful during learning until your control of the drone is acquired.
4. Keep the drone and the battery away from heat: this product is made of metal and plastic parts,
and electrical parts. Therefore it should not be exposed to high temperatures such as near fire, near
a heating radiator or exposed too long to direct sunlight.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
The drone may be controlled in two ways. Or via the supplied remote control with a range of about 30
meters, or directly through the MiDrone SKY 60 APP on your smartphone in WiFi with a range of about
5 meters. This feature will be detailed later in this manual.
REMARKS : We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the buttons of the remote before you start
using the drone.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Install batteries in the remote control
The operation of the remote requires 4 AAA batteries (not
included). Observe the battery polarity when inserting in the
compartment at the back of the remote. Remove the batteries from
remote control for a long period of non-use to avoid discharge and
leakage.
2. Charging and installing the Li-Po batteryPlug the USB connector of
the charging cable to a USB port on your computer or USB charger (not
included), and the other end directly to the battery connector. The charge
indicator LED will light in red on the charging cable when the battery is
fully charged.
It takes about 90 to 20 minutes for the lithium battery to be fully
charged, depending on the power of the USB charger used.
Install the fully charged battery into the slot provided for this purpose inside the drone as shown on the
image below.
NOTE : the LED lights of the drone will flash quickly when the voltage of the battery is too low. When
this happens, please proceed to landing and charge the battery before next flight.
REPLACEMENT OF THE PROPELLERS
If a propeller replacement is necessary pay special attention to the direction of rotation. The propellers
that rotate clockwise are marked with a letter A. Those that rotate in the anti-clockwise direction are
marked with a letter B.
PREPARATION FOR TAKE OFF
Before flying, settle in a space without obstacles with a clearance of about ten meters around you and five
meters in height. Ensure that the battery of the drone and batteries from remote control are fully charged.
Install the battery in the drone, the drone LED lights flash slowly. Then place the drone to the ground or
on a flat surface. Turn on the remote control, tle lights of the drone will stop to flash and stay on.

operation: Push the left joystick fully upward and then pull it to the bottom.
UNLOCK PROCEDURE
. Push the left joystick to the highest position (Figure ).
2. Pull down the two joysticks outward diagonally together to unlock the drone (Figure 2).
3. Pull down the two joysticks inward diagonally together to calibrate the gyroscope (Figure 3).
ONE KEY TAKE-OFF AND LANDING
After performing the unlock procedure explained above, you can
press the auto take-off button on the remote control. The drone’s
blade will start to rotate slowly, then the drone will ascend
automatically to the height of approx. ,5 meter.

FLYING MICRO ADJUSTMENTS (TRIM)
FLYING IN HEADLESS MODE (DIRECTION LOCK, HEADFREE)
When this mode is enabled, the drone uses the direction it has stored at the time of synchronization and
takes the pilot's position as a reference when using the right joystick on the remote. The movement front
or back of this joystick will move away the drone or let it come closer from the pilot, and regardless of
the orientation of the front of the drone.
The operation of this mode requires that the pilot remains in the same place as at the time of
synchronization and keeps the drone in front of him during the flight.
. FLY DIRECTION SETTING
Before the flight, place the drone in front of you with the back of the drone pointing to the remote control.

the CF Mode / Direction Lock.
NOTE: If the drone is impacted by objects during flying, headless mode may not
keep flying straight, the drone may fly with drifting. If this happens, please proceed
to landing, and reset the gyro of the drone by pushing the 2 levers of the remote to
the center and the bottom with an angle of 45 degrees as shown on the image on the
right.
EMERGENCY STOP
If the drone crashes something during flying or if you need to stop it quickly, you
can press the emergency stop button on the remote control. The propellers will stop
to rotate immediately and the drone will fall down.
NOTE : never press this key if the drone is normally flying at a certain altitude or it
will fall down and will get damaged or cause injuries to people, animals or objects.
PROTECT FUNCTION
If the drone hit an obstacle during flying, the propellers will stop immediately to protect the motors, the
drone will fall down vertically. If this happens, when you restart the drone, you will need to calibrate the
gyroscope and start the unlock procedure again before new take off.
