6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone does not power on. | Battery not charged or not inserted correctly. | Ensure battery is fully charged and properly inserted. |
| Remote controller does not connect. | Remote controller batteries low; pairing failed. | Replace remote controller batteries; re-attempt pairing process. |
| No FPV video feed. | Phone not connected to drone Wi-Fi; app not launched. | Connect phone to drone's 5G Wi-Fi; open the ATTOP app. Ensure sufficient signal range. |
| Drone drifts during flight. | Calibration needed; strong wind interference. | Perform gyroscope and compass calibration as per app instructions. Avoid flying in strong winds. |
| GPS features not working. | Weak GPS signal; flying indoors or near interference. | Fly in an open outdoor area with clear sky. Wait for sufficient GPS satellites to lock. |
| Short flight time. | Battery not fully charged; old battery; aggressive flying. | Ensure full charge. Consider battery replacement if old. Fly more conservatively. |
