3. Propeller Installation
Attach the propellers according to the markings on the drone arms and propellers. Ensure they are firmly secured to prevent detachment during flight.
4. Remote Controller and App Connection
Power on the remote controller and the drone. Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (5Ghz Wi-Fi capability required for optimal FPV). Launch the Potensic flight app and follow the on-screen instructions to establish a connection.
5. Calibration
Perform compass and gyroscope calibration as instructed by the app or manual. This is crucial for stable flight and accurate GPS positioning. Ensure calibration is completed in an open area away from magnetic interference.
Operating the Drone
1. Basic Flight Controls
Familiarize yourself with the remote controller's joysticks and buttons. Practice basic maneuvers like takeoff, landing, hovering, and directional flight in an open, safe environment.
2. GPS Functions
The D68 drone is equipped with advanced GPS features for enhanced flight experience:
- Return to Home (RTH): Automatically brings the drone back to its takeoff point in case of low battery, signal loss, or manual activation.
- Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or connected smartphone.
- Point of Interest: The drone will orbit around a designated point.
- Waypoints: Plan a custom flight path by setting multiple waypoints on the map.

4. Optical Flow Positioning
For stable indoor flight or when GPS signal is weak, the Optical Flow Positioning system helps the drone maintain its position and hover accurately.

5. Speed Settings
The D68 offers three speed settings to accommodate different skill levels and flight conditions. Start with lower speeds for beginners and gradually increase as you gain experience.
Maintenance
1. Battery Care
Always use the original charger and cable. Do not overcharge or over-discharge the battery. Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect the battery from the drone when not in use.
2. Propeller Inspection and Replacement
Regularly inspect propellers for any signs of damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts to ensure safe and stable flight.
3. Cleaning
Clean the drone's body and camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the components.
Troubleshooting
1. Connection Issues
If the drone fails to connect to the remote controller or app, ensure both devices are fully charged and within range. Restart both the drone and controller. Check your smartphone's Wi-Fi settings to ensure it's connected to the drone's network.
2. Unstable Flight
If the drone exhibits unstable flight, perform a full calibration (compass and gyroscope). Ensure propellers are correctly installed and undamaged. Fly in an open area away from obstacles and strong winds.
3. GPS Signal Loss
If GPS signal is lost, the drone may switch to Optical Flow Positioning. Fly in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky to re-establish GPS lock. The Return to Home function will activate if signal is lost beyond a certain distance.
