Welcome to the Hive! The Drone will simplify your next outdoor adventure but you need to learn how to correctly assemble your new tent first!

Before you begin setting up your Drone, be sure to read the following information:
- Do not unfasten any of the ropes or ties along the outer tent.
- Be careful that your fingers are not caught while locking leg joints or inserting stakes.
- Select a level campsite clear of rocks, branches and other hard or sharp objects, and do not set up your tent under trees.
- Two or more people are recommended for tent assembly and disassembly.

Setup Instructions:

1. Take Drone out of carry bag. Layout and position tent in a vertical position with all poles pointing upward.
2. Spread leg poles outward, unfurling the tent gradually.
3. Enlist the help of another person to lift the roof from the other side of the tent while you lock the leg joint in place. Lock top joints of leg poles into locked position while simultaneously lifting roof to create a dome shape. 
4. Tuck the base of the tent in at the bottom joints to expose the middle joints. Begin locking the middle joints (horizontal joints above door/window panels).
5. Lock the bottom joints. Once all leg joints are locked and tent is fully assembled, insert stakes into the stake loops at the base of the tent to secure tent to the ground. If needed, the rope ties along the sides of the tent can also be tethered to the ground with stakes or terrain can be piled onto the terrain skirts for additional security.
6. Spread out rainfly on top of tent and fasten with attached clips onto tent poles.

Takedown Instructions

1. Zip all of the windows and doors shut to ensure mesh and fabric panels do not get caught when disassembling. Remove stakes and rainfly.
2. Starting with the lower-most joints, release joint by pushing down the upper part of the joint and sliding down the lower collar of the lower joint simultaneously. If the lower collar does not slide down easily, push down the upper part of the joint lightly.
3. Repeat this process with the higher joints, working from bottom to top.
4. Bring leg poles inward, furling the tent gradually.
5. Return to carry bag and store in a dry, safe location for your next adventure.

Things You Should Know:
- Never store your Drone, even for a short period of time, without drying it thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt or debris.
- Stakes should be removed by pulling on the stake itself. Never pull on the tent to remove stakes which could result in damage to your Drone or injury.
- Do not leave your Drone set up for weeks at a time. Be aware that exposure to direct sunlight can seriously damage material and/or cause discoloration.
- Sand can damage the Insta-set pole joints. Take extra care when setting up your Drone on the beach or on sandy terrain to avoid allowing sand to enter the joints.
