Operating Instructions
1. Pre-Flight Checklist
- Ensure batteries for both drone and remote controller are fully charged.
- Check propellers for any damage and ensure they are securely attached.
- Verify the gimbal protector is removed before flight.
- Confirm sufficient storage space on the microSD card.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean the drone body, propellers, and camera lens. Use a soft, dry cloth for the drone body. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution to avoid scratches. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates in the motor areas.
2. Battery Care
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging or overcharging. If storing for extended periods, discharge batteries to approximately 50-60% capacity. Inspect battery tabs for any signs of wear or damage before each flight.
3. Propeller Inspection and Replacement
Inspect propellers for cracks, bends, or nicks before every flight. Damaged propellers can significantly impact flight performance and safety. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the spare propellers and screwdriver provided.
4. Firmware Updates
Keep your drone and remote controller firmware updated to ensure optimal performance and access to new features. Connect the aircraft with the remote controller, and the DJI Fly app will prompt you for updates. Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure stable internet connection and sufficient battery levels (above 20%) during updates.
