Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Flight Checklist

  • Ensure drone and remote controller batteries are fully charged.
  • Propellers are correctly installed and secure.
  • Flight area is clear of obstacles and people.
  • GPS signal is strong (for outdoor flight).
  • App is connected and displaying live feed.

2. GPS Calibration (Outdoor Flight)

For stable outdoor flight and to enable GPS functions like Return Home, it is crucial to calibrate the gyroscope and geomagnetism. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app or refer to the quick start guide for specific calibration gestures. When flying indoors, it is important to turn off GPS, otherwise the drone will not be able to take off.

3. Take-off and Landing

After successful calibration and connection, press the one-click take-off button on the remote controller or in the app. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe height. To land, press the one-click landing button, and the drone will descend and land gently.

4. Flight Modes

The D8002 drone offers several intelligent flight modes:

  • GPS Return Home: The drone automatically returns to its take-off point when activated or when battery is low/signal is lost.
  • Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or the subject detected by the app.
  • Waypoint Flight: Draw a path on the app map, and the drone will fly along the designated route.
  • Intelligent Surround: The drone will circle a designated point of interest.
  • Headless Mode: The drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, simplifying control regardless of the drone's front direction.

5. Camera Operation

The drone is equipped with a 4K HD camera with EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) for stable footage. The 120° field of view and 90° electrically adjustable lens allow for versatile shooting angles. Use the app to control photo and video capture, adjust camera angle, and access real-time FPV.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

After each flight, gently wipe the drone and remote controller with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates in the motors or camera lens.

2. Propeller Replacement

Inspect propellers regularly for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace any damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare set. Ensure correct propeller type (A or B) is installed on the corresponding motor.

3. Battery Care

Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not fully discharge batteries before storing them for extended periods. Charge them to about 50-60% for optimal long-term storage. Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures.
