4. Operating Instructions

This section outlines the basic steps for operating your drone and utilizing its intelligent flight features.

Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure the drone and remote controller batteries are fully charged.
• Attach propellers securely.
• Find an open outdoor area, clear of obstacles, people, and animals.
• Power on the remote controller, then the drone.
• Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network and open the Ophelia app.
• Perform compass calibration as instructed by the app or manual.
• Wait for sufficient GPS satellite lock (indicated by solid GPS signal icon).

Basic Flight Controls

The remote controller allows for precise manipulation of the drone. Familiarize yourself with the joystick functions and button layout before attempting flight.

• Altitude Hold: Maintains the drone's current altitude, simplifying flight control.
• Headless Mode: Orients the drone's flight direction relative to the pilot, regardless of the drone's front-facing direction. Useful for beginners.

Intelligent Flight Modes (via Ophelia App)

The Ophelia app unlocks several intelligent flight modes:

• Follow Me: The drone automatically follows the remote controller or your smartphone, capturing dynamic footage as you move.
• Point of Interest: Set a central point, and the drone will orbit around it at a specified radius and altitude, ideal for capturing panoramic shots.
• Trajectory Flight: Draw a desired flight path on your smartphone screen, and the drone will autonomously follow the route.

Smart Return Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home function ensures the drone safely returns to its takeoff point. RTH can be activated manually, or automatically triggered in cases of low battery or loss of signal.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and performance of your Holy Stone HS700E drone.

• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge. If not used for extended periods, charge them to about 50-60% capacity.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace any damaged propellers immediately. The HS700E propellers are designed for easy, tool-free replacement.
• Cleaning: Gently wipe the drone body and camera lens with a soft, dry cloth after each flight to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Storage: When not in use, store the drone and its components in the provided carrying case to protect them from physical damage and environmental factors.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Holy Stone HS700E drone, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Drone Not Responding: Ensure both the drone and remote controller are powered on and properly paired. Check battery levels.
• Unstable Flight/Drifting: Perform compass calibration in an open area away from magnetic interference. Check for damaged propellers.
• No FPV Feed: Verify your smartphone is connected to the drone's 5GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure the Ophelia app is open and updated.
• GPS Signal Issues: Fly in an open outdoor area with a clear view of the sky. Avoid areas with tall buildings or dense foliage that can obstruct satellite signals.
• Drone Crashes Unexpectedly: Avoid flying near strong electromagnetic currents or other Wi-Fi interference sources. Always ensure sufficient battery charge before flight.
