5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure drone and remote control batteries are fully charged.
• Check that propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
• Verify GPS signal strength (indicated in the app) before outdoor flight.
• Ensure you are in an open area, away from obstacles, people, and restricted airspace.

5.2. Basic Flight Controls

Refer to the remote control diagram in the app or included quick start guide for specific button layouts.

• Take-off/Landing: Use the one-key take-off/landing button or manually push both joysticks down and out to arm motors, then push the left joystick up to ascend.
• Altitude Control: Left joystick (up/down) controls ascent and descent.
• Directional Control: Right joystick (up/down/left/right) controls forward, backward, left, and right movement.
• Rotation: Left joystick (left/right) controls yaw (rotation around its vertical axis).

5.3. Intelligent Flight Modes

The RG106 drone offers several intelligent flight modes for enhanced user experience:

• GPS One-Key Return: Press the return-to-home button. The drone will automatically return to its take-off point if GPS signal is strong. This function also activates automatically when battery is low or signal is lost.
• GPS Intelligent Following: After connecting to GPS, enable the "Follow Me" function in the app. The drone will follow your mobile device's GPS location.
• Image Following: Within 1-3 meters of the aircraft, identify a target in the app, and the drone will automatically follow it.
• Gesture Photo/Video: Within 1-3 meters from the aircraft, face the camera and make specific hand gestures to trigger photo or video recording.
• Multi-point Flight Plan (Trajectory Flight): Draw a desired flight path on the map in the app, and the drone will autonomously fly along the specified route.
• Fixed Point Surround: Select a point of interest (4-20 meters away) in the app, and the drone will circle around it, maintaining a consistent distance and altitude.
