Maintenance

• Battery Care:
  • Charge the drone battery (11.1V 3500mAh) and remote control battery (11.4V 3500mAh) using the provided USB charging cable.
  • Drone charging time: Approximately 6 hours.
  • Remote control charging time: Approximately 3.5 hours.
  • Do not overcharge or completely drain batteries. Store them at approximately 50-60% charge if not used for extended periods.
• Propeller Replacement:

  If propellers are damaged, replace them immediately using the spare propellers, screws, and screwdriver provided. Ensure the new propellers are installed correctly according to their A/B markings.
• Cleaning:

  Gently wipe the drone and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or liquids that could damage electronic components.

• Storage:

  Store the drone in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When folded, the drone measures 22*12*9CM.

Troubleshooting

• Drone not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed.
• Loss of signal/control: Check the remote control battery level. Ensure you are within the specified control distance (10000m) and image transmission distance (8000m). Avoid areas with strong electromagnetic interference.
• Unstable flight: Calibrate the drone's gyroscope and compass as per the app instructions. Check for damaged propellers and replace if necessary.
• Obstacle avoidance not working: Ensure the obstacle avoidance sensors are clean and unobstructed. Verify the feature is enabled in the app.
• Poor image quality: Clean the camera lens. Ensure sufficient lighting conditions. Check the SD card (if used) for proper insertion and sufficient space.
• Drone not returning to home: Ensure GPS signal is strong before takeoff. Check battery level.

User Tips

• Pre-Flight Checklist: Always perform a quick check of propellers, battery levels, and GPS signal before each flight.
• Beginner Mode: If you are new to drones, start with a beginner mode (if available in the app) or practice in a large, open space to get accustomed to the controls.
• Obstacle Avoidance: While the drone has obstacle avoidance, it's always best to manually scan your flight path for potential hazards, especially in complex environments.
• SD Card: Remember to purchase a high-speed SD card (32G/64G/128G) separately to store your 8K photos and videos.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the app for any available firmware updates for your drone and remote control to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
