2. Follow the calibration instructions provided in the Holy Stone app or the detailed user manual. This typically involves rotating the drone horizontally and vertically.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Flight Controls

Familiarize yourself with the remote control sticks and buttons for basic flight maneuvers.

• Quick Launch: Press the one-key take-off button for automatic ascent.
• Altitude Hold: The drone maintains its altitude automatically, allowing you to focus on directional control.
• Headless Mode: Simplifies flight by eliminating the need to distinguish the drone's head direction. The drone will move relative to the pilot's orientation.

4.2 GPS-Assisted Flight Modes

The HS700D utilizes GPS for enhanced stability and intelligent flight features.

• GPS Hover: The drone maintains a stable position in the air, even in light winds.
• Return to Home (RTH): The drone will automatically return to its takeoff point under conditions such as low battery, signal loss, or manual activation. Ensure your RTH altitude is set appropriately in the app to clear obstacles.
• Follow Me Mode: The drone will automatically follow the remote control (and thus the pilot's smartphone) and record video with the camera pointed towards you.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Brushless Motors

The HS700D features brushless motors, known for their durability, quiet operation, and minimal maintenance requirements compared to brushed motors.

• Regularly inspect motors for any obstructions or damage.
• Keep motors clean and free of dust or debris.

5.2 Propeller Care

Inspect propellers before and after each flight for cracks, bends, or other damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts and screwdriver.

5.3 Battery Care

Proper battery care ensures longevity and safe operation.

• Always use the original charging cable and adapter.
• Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• If the battery is not used for an extended period, charge it to about 50-60% capacity.

6. Troubleshooting

• Drone not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Press and hold the power button on the battery.
• No live video feed: Check the cable connection between your smartphone and the remote control. Ensure the Holy Stone app is open and connected to the drone's Wi-Fi.
• Unstable flight/Drifting: Perform a compass and gyroscope calibration. Ensure you are flying in an open area away from strong magnetic interference.
• Return to Home not working correctly: Verify that GPS signal is strong (sufficient satellites locked). Check the RTH altitude setting in the app.
• Short flight time: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Flight time can be affected by wind conditions and aggressive flying.
