5. Setup Guide

5.1. Charging the Batteries

1. Drone Battery: Connect the battery charging cable to the 7.4V 1300mAh lithium battery and a suitable USB power adapter (not included). The charging time is approximately 90-120 minutes. The drone features a real-time power display on the battery.
2. Remote Control Battery: Connect the remote control charging cable to the remote control and a USB power adapter. The remote control uses a lithium battery.

5.2. Installing Propellers

If not pre-installed, attach the propellers to the drone's motors. Ensure each propeller is securely fastened. Refer to the markings on the propellers and motors for correct orientation (e.g., A and B propellers).

5.3. Remote Control Setup

The remote control features a 4.5-inch HD display for direct viewing or can be used with a mobile phone via the telescopic phone holder.

• Power On: Use the power switch to turn on the remote control.
• Screen Switching: Use the dedicated screen switch button to toggle between the built-in display and a connected mobile phone display.
• Mobile Phone Connection: Place your smartphone in the telescopic holder and connect it to the remote control via the appropriate cable or Wi-Fi (5G signal for high-definition transmission).

6.2. Power On/Off

1. Power On: Place the drone on a flat, level surface. Press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn on. Turn on the remote control.
2. Power Off: Turn off the remote control first, then press and hold the power button on the drone until the indicator lights turn off.

6.3. Calibration

Before first flight or if flight stability is affected, perform calibration:

• Gyroscope Calibration: Follow the instructions in the manual or app to calibrate the gyroscope.
• Geomagnetic Calibration: Follow the instructions in the manual or app to calibrate the geomagnetic sensor. This is crucial for accurate GPS positioning.

6.4. Takeoff and Landing

• Takeoff: After calibration and GPS signal acquisition (if in GPS mode), press the 'take off/land' button or use the throttle stick to initiate takeoff.
• Landing: Press the 'take off/land' button for automatic landing, or gently lower the throttle stick for manual landing.

6.5. Flight Modes and Features

• GPS Positioning: Provides accurate positioning, enabling features like one-key return, no signal return, and low power return. Ensure GPS signal is acquired before flight for these features.
• Optical Flow Positioning: The bottom HD lens provides optical flow positioning for stable hovering, especially useful indoors or when GPS is unavailable.
• Headless Mode: In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, simplifying control regardless of the drone's front direction.
• Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance: The drone is equipped with an obstacle avoidance head that detects obstacles and stops to prevent collisions.
• Speed Switching: Use the speed switching button on the remote control to adjust flight speed (multi-gear speed flight).
• Intelligent Follow: In GPS mode, the drone can automatically follow and capture footage of a designated subject.
• Trajectory Flight (Custom Routes): Draw a desired flight path on the app map, and the drone will automatically follow it.
• Circle Flight: The drone can perform circular flights around a specified point.
• Palm Control: Control the drone with hand gestures (refer to app instructions for specific gestures).
• One-Button Return: Press the 'Return/Set' button to initiate an automatic return to the takeoff point.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lens. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Propellers: Regularly inspect propellers for damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare propellers and bolt driver.
• Motors: Keep motors free from dust and debris. The brushless motors are designed for long life and powerful performance.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge. If not used for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% capacity.
• Storage: When not in use, store the drone and accessories in the provided storage bag to protect them from dust and physical damage.

8. Troubleshooting

• Drone not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the power button.
• Remote control not connecting: Ensure both drone and remote are powered on. Re-pair them according to the quick start guide. Check battery levels.
• Unstable flight: Perform gyroscope and geomagnetic calibration. Check for damaged propellers and replace if necessary. Ensure you are flying in suitable weather conditions (low wind).
• Poor camera quality/transmission: Ensure a stable 5G Wi-Fi connection between the drone and remote/app. Clean the camera lens.
• GPS features not working: Ensure the drone has acquired a sufficient number of GPS satellites before takeoff. Fly in an open area with clear sky view.
• Obstacle avoidance not working: Ensure the obstacle avoidance head is clean and unobstructed. Test in a controlled environment.

9. User Tips
