This guide provides essential instructions for operating the Sharper Image DX-2 Stunt Drone. Always ensure the drone is charged before use, and perform all flights in large, open indoor areas. Adult supervision is required for assembly, charging, and battery installation.
Getting started
Before your first flight, ensure you have completed the following steps:
- Charge the drone: Connect the charging cable to the port on the rear of the drone and plug the USB connector into a power source. The charger light turns off when fully charged (approx. 60 minutes).
- Install remote batteries: Open the battery compartment and install 6 AA batteries according to the polarity diagram.
- Pairing: Turn the drone on and place it on a flat, level surface. Turn on the remote, move the left joystick down, then up, then down again. A beep indicates successful pairing.
Remote control overview
The remote control features two joysticks and several adjustment buttons:
- Left Joystick: Controls elevation (up/down) and spin (left/right).
- Right Joystick: Controls flight direction.
- Direction Trim: Used to eliminate drift.
- Emergency Stop: Hold the STOP button until the drone lands completely.
Operating the drone
Follow these steps for a successful flight:
- Lift Off: Slowly bring the throttle up. If the drone drifts, use the adjustment buttons to compensate.
- Drift Adjustment: If the drone drifts, use the Forward/Backwards or Side to Side adjustments to stabilize it.
- Flight: Use the throttle to maintain elevation and the multi-directional joystick to move.
Flight modes
- Auto Landing: Press the "-" button to trigger auto-land. Do not touch the left control stick during this sequence.
- Auto Orientation: Press the "+" button to enter this mode. The drone will maintain its original forward orientation regardless of which way it is facing.
- Stunt Mode: Hover at least 10 feet high, press the Stunt Button, and move the multi-directional joystick in the desired direction to perform a flip.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
If the drone is unstable after impact, reset it by moving both joysticks to the bottom-right corner simultaneously. If the drone won't lift off, ensure the battery is charged. For propeller issues, ensure you match the numbered blades (1 or 2) with the corresponding numbers on the drone arms. Blade 1 turns counter-clockwise, and Blade 2 turns clockwise.
