5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the screen and exterior of the controller with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth with mild screen cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

5.2 Storage

Store the SIYI MK15 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50-60% to prolong its lifespan.

5.3 Software Updates

Periodically check for system and application updates. Connect the controller to Wi-Fi and navigate to the system settings to check for Android updates, or open your flight control applications to check for their specific updates. Keeping software up-to-date ensures optimal performance and access to new features.

5.4 Battery Care

Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the battery before it drops below 20%. If the device will not be used for a long time, charge it to about 60% and store it. Recharge every 3-6 months if unused.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Ensure the device is fully charged. Try a different Type-C cable and power adapter.
• No Video Feed: Check all connections between the FPV camera, air unit, and controller. Ensure the FPV application is running and configured correctly. Verify antenna connections on both the controller and air unit.
• Control Issues: Recalibrate joysticks and ensure all switches are in their correct positions. Check for interference in your operating environment.
• Poor Range/Signal: Ensure antennas are properly oriented and unobstructed. Avoid areas with high electromagnetic interference.
• System Lag/Freezing: Close unnecessary background applications. Clear cache or perform a factory reset if issues persist (backup data first).
