Maintenance
1. Battery Charging
Use the provided USB charging cable to charge the drone's body battery and the remote control battery. Ensure the batteries are fully charged before each flight for optimal performance and flight time.
- Drone Battery Charging Time: 60-90 minutes.
2. Propeller Replacement
If propellers are damaged or bent, replace them immediately using the spare propeller blade set and the included screwdriver. Ensure new propellers are installed correctly according to their markings.
3. Cleaning and Storage
After each flight, gently clean the drone body and camera lenses with a soft, dry cloth. Store the drone in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The folding body design makes it light and easy to carry and store.
Troubleshooting
- Drone not responding: Ensure both drone and remote control are fully charged and powered on. Re-pair the drone with the remote control if necessary.
- Unstable flight: Perform gyroscope and geomagnetic calibration. Check for damaged propellers and replace if needed. Ensure flight is in an open area away from strong magnetic interference.
- No image transmission: Verify 5G WIFI connection between the drone and remote control/APP. Ensure the camera is properly connected.
- GPS signal loss: Fly in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Avoid flying near tall buildings or dense foliage.
- Obstacle avoidance not working: Ensure the obstacle avoidance device (if installed) is clean and unobstructed.
