4. Setup

4.1. Battery Charging and Installation

1. Connect the provided charger to a power source.
2. Connect the 6S Li-Battery (8000mAh) to the charger. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Charge the battery until fully charged. Refer to the charger's indicator for status.
4. Once charged, carefully insert the battery into the drone's battery compartment. Ensure it is securely latched.
5. Charge the remote controller's battery using the appropriate cable.

4.2. Propeller Installation

1. Identify the correct propellers for each motor. Propellers are typically marked (e.g., A and B, or with dots) to match specific motor directions.
2. Attach each propeller firmly to its corresponding motor shaft. Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten.
3. Verify that all propellers spin freely without obstruction.

4.3. Remote Controller Setup

1. Install the charged battery into the I6S Remote Controller.
2. Power on the remote controller.
3. If necessary, bind the remote controller to the drone according to the specific instructions provided with the remote controller.
4. Attach your mobile phone to the mobile device holder on the remote controller for FPV and app control.

4.4. App Installation and Connection

1. Download the official Camolech drone application (e.g., "IDFTECH GO" as seen in images) from your mobile device's app store (Android and iOS supported).
2. Power on the drone and the remote controller.
3. Connect your mobile device to the drone's Wi-Fi network (5G WiFi). The network name and password can typically be found on the drone or in a separate quick start guide.
4. Launch the app. The app should display real-time video feed and flight data.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Pre-Flight Checks

• Ensure batteries are fully charged (drone and remote).
• Verify propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
• Check that the bait release mechanism is properly attached and empty before takeoff.
• Confirm GPS signal acquisition (indicated in the app). The IDF-9 flight control system features GPS automatic heading correction and interference monitoring, reducing the need for manual compass calibration.
• Ensure the flight area is clear of obstacles and people.

5.2. Takeoff and Landing

• Automatic Takeoff: Place the drone on a flat, open surface. In the app or via the remote controller, initiate the automatic takeoff function. The drone will ascend to a safe altitude and hover.
• Automatic Landing: To land, initiate the automatic landing function via the app or remote. The drone will descend and land gently at its current position.
• Automatic Return to Home (RTH): If the battery level is low or signal is lost, the drone will automatically initiate Return to Home and land at its takeoff point. This function can also be manually activated.

5.3. Flight Controls and Bait Release

• Use the remote controller joysticks to control the drone's direction, altitude, and rotation.
• Monitor the real-time flight status and video feed on your mobile device via the app.
• Once at the desired bait drop location, activate the bait release mechanism via the remote controller or app. The drone can carry a payload of up to 3KG.

5.4. 4K Camera and FPV

• The integrated 4K camera with a single-axis gimbal provides high-definition video and photo capture.
• Real-time video transmission (FPV) is available via the 5G WiFi connection to your mobile device, with a range of up to 1000m.
• Use the app to control camera functions, view live feed, and record footage.

5.5. Night Light Function

• Activate the night light function via the remote controller or app for improved visibility during low-light conditions or night fishing.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning the Drone

• After each use, especially in saltwater environments, rinse the drone with fresh water.
• Wipe the drone dry with a soft cloth. Ensure all water is removed from crevices and ports.
• Clean the camera lens with a microfiber cloth.

6.2. Battery Care

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store batteries fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. Aim for approximately 50-60% charge for long-term storage.
• Inspect batteries regularly for any signs of damage, swelling, or leakage.

6.3. Propeller Inspection and Replacement

• Before each flight, inspect propellers for cracks, bends, or chips. Damaged propellers can affect flight stability and safety.
• Replace any damaged propellers immediately with new ones from the provided spare set.

6.4. Storage

• Store the drone and all accessories in the provided carry case to protect them from dust and physical damage.
• Keep the drone in a cool, dry environment.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drone does not power on:
  • Ensure the drone battery is fully charged and correctly installed.
  • Check for any loose connections.
• Remote controller does not connect:
  • Ensure the remote controller battery is charged.
  • Verify the remote controller is powered on and correctly bound to the drone.
  • Move closer to the drone to rule out range issues.
• No FPV video feed in app:
  • Confirm your mobile device is connected to the drone's 5G WiFi network.
  • Restart the app and the drone.
  • Check for app updates.
• Drone drifts during flight:
  • Ensure GPS signal is strong before takeoff.
  • Perform a flight calibration if available in the app (though the IDF-9 system minimizes the need for magnetic compass calibration, environmental factors can still affect flight).
  • Check for damaged propellers.
• Bait release mechanism not working:
  • Verify the mechanism is correctly attached and free of obstructions.
  • Ensure the payload does not exceed 3KG.
  • Check app or remote controller settings for bait release activation.
