4. App Installation and Connection
Download the official drone app (refer to the QR code in the included quick start guide or search for 'E88 Pro Drone' in your app store). Turn on the drone and then your smartphone's Wi-Fi. Connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network (usually named 'WIFI-XXXXXX'). Open the app to establish connection and view the live FPV feed.
Operating Instructions
1. Pairing the Drone and Remote
- Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Turn on the drone's power switch. The drone's indicator lights will flash.
- Turn on the remote control's power switch.
- Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The drone's lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.
2. Take-off and Landing
- One Key Take-off: Press the One Key Take-off button (usually an upward arrow icon) on the remote. The drone will automatically ascend to a stable altitude.
- Manual Take-off: Push both joysticks diagonally outwards and downwards simultaneously to start the propellers. Then, slowly push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to ascend.
- One Key Landing: Press the One Key Landing button (usually a downward arrow icon) on the remote. The drone will automatically descend and land.
- Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick (throttle) downwards until the drone lands. Once landed, pull both joysticks diagonally inwards and downwards to stop the propellers.
3. Flight Modes and Functions
- Altitude Hold: The drone maintains a stable altitude, making it easier to control direction.
- Headless Mode: Eliminates the need to adjust the drone's position before flight. The drone's front will be the direction the remote control is facing when activated.
- 360° Flip: Press the 360° flip button and then push the right joystick in the desired direction to perform an aerial flip.
- Trajectory Flight: In the app, draw a flight path on your screen, and the drone will follow the specified route.
- Gravity Induction: Use your smartphone's gyroscope to control the drone's flight direction by tilting the phone.
