3. Remote Control Overview:

Familiarize yourself with the remote control layout and functions:

Figure: Remote Control Components

• Left Joystick: Controls throttle (ascend/descend) and yaw (left/right rotation).
• Right Joystick: Controls pitch (forward/backward) and roll (left/right sideward flight).
• Speed Switch: Adjusts flight speed (scroll wheel).
• Camera Angle Adjustment: Adjusts the camera's vertical angle (if applicable).
• Emergency Stop: Immediately stops the drone (button with star icon).
• One-Key Take-off/Landing: Initiates automatic take-off or landing (button with star icon).
• One-Key Return: Commands the drone to return to its take-off point (button with star icon).
• Calibration: Initiates gyroscope calibration (button with star icon).
• 360° Roll: Performs a 360-degree flip.
• Photo/Video: Captures photos or starts/stops video recording.
• LCD Screen: Displays flight information or FPV feed (if remote has a screen).
• Phone Holder: For mounting a smartphone for FPV and app control.

4. 2.4G Frequency Binding:

1. Turn on the drone and place it on a flat, horizontal surface. The drone's indicator lights will blink.
2. Turn on the remote control.
3. The drone and remote control will automatically connect. The remote control will emit a beep, and the drone's indicator lights will become solid, indicating successful binding.

5. Calibration:

After binding, ensure the drone is on a flat, horizontal surface. Press the calibration button (star icon on the remote). The drone's lights will flash rapidly and then become solid, indicating successful gyroscope calibration.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Flight Controls:

Practice these controls in an open, safe area before attempting advanced maneuvers. The drone's tail should face you for intuitive control.

Figure: Basic Flight Control Diagrams

• Throttle (Left Joystick Up/Down): Increases/decreases altitude.
• Yaw (Left Joystick Left/Right): Rotates the drone left/right.
• Pitch (Right Joystick Up/Down): Moves the drone forward/backward.
• Roll (Right Joystick Left/Right): Moves the drone sideward left/right.

2. One-Key Take-off/Landing:

After binding and calibration, press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button (star icon). The drone will automatically ascend to a stable hovering height. Press the button again to initiate an automatic landing. Note: If the drone is above 5 meters, the one-key landing function will be deactivated.

3. Altitude Hold Mode:

The drone is equipped with an altitude hold mode function, which allows it to maintain a stable hovering height automatically, making flight control easier, especially for beginners.

4. Headless Mode:

Activate Headless Mode by pressing the corresponding button (star icon). In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of its actual front direction. This simplifies control, as pushing the right joystick forward will always move the drone away from you. The function ends if the right joystick is moved.

5. 360° Roll/Flip:

To perform a 360-degree roll, press the 360° Roll button on the remote control. The drone will execute an aerial stunt, flipping in the air.

6. Trajectory Flight:

Using the mobile APP, you can draw a flight path on your screen. The drone will then autonomously follow this designated trajectory, offering an intelligent and fun flight mode.

7. One-Key Return:

Press the One-Key Return button (star icon) to command the drone to automatically return to its take-off point. This feature is useful for easily recalling the drone.

8. Speed Control:

The remote control features a scroll wheel to adjust the flight speed. The drone starts in 1st gear by default. Roll the wheel to the right to increase speed (e.g., two 'di-di-di' sounds for 2nd gear, three for 3rd gear). Roll the wheel to the left to decrease speed.

9. Camera Functions:

The E88 Pro is equipped with dual cameras (front 4K/6K and bottom HD) for versatile aerial photography and video recording.

• Dual Camera Switching: You can switch between the front and bottom cameras for different perspectives during flight.

• Real-time FPV (First Person View): Connect the drone to its dedicated mobile application via WiFi to view live camera footage on your smartphone.

Figure: Dual Screen Real-time Viewing

• Gesture Photo/Video: The drone supports intelligent gesture recognition, allowing you to take photos or start/stop video recording with specific hand gestures.
