5. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body and camera lens. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for any signs of damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately using the spare ones provided and the screwdriver.
  • Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge. If storing for extended periods, charge them to about 50-60% capacity.
  • Motor Care: The drone uses brushless motors, which are durable and require less maintenance than brushed motors. Keep them free from dust and debris.

  • Storage: When not in use, fold the drone to its compact size and store it in a safe place, preferably in the provided storage bag, to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Drone does not power on. Battery not charged or improperly installed. Ensure battery is fully charged and correctly inserted.
Remote control does not connect to drone. Drone and remote not paired; interference. Power cycle both devices. Ensure you are within the 100M control distance. Avoid areas with strong 2.4GHz/5GHz interference.
Drone drifts during flight. Calibration needed; uneven surface for takeoff. Perform flight fine-tuning/calibration. Take off from a flat, level surface.
Poor image/video quality. Dirty lens; insufficient lighting; strong vibrations. Clean the camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting. The EIS electronic image stabilization should help with vibrations.
Obstacle avoidance not working. Feature disabled; sensors obstructed. Ensure obstacle avoidance is enabled via the remote control switch. Check sensors for dirt or damage.
