2. Safety Guidelines
Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for safe operation and to prevent damage to the drone or injury to individuals.
- Always recalibrate the drone before take-off and after it has tipped over. Failure to calibrate on a level surface may result in the drone flying diagonally and becoming uncontrollable.
- The T26 drone is susceptible to wind. It is recommended to operate it in a more open area or a windless environment to maintain control.
- Do not exceed the maximum remote control distance of 80 meters (262 feet) to avoid losing control of the drone.
- Install propeller protection brackets to reduce damage in case of accidental drops or collisions and to protect users.
- Ensure batteries are charged safely. The battery pack includes charge over-expansion protection.
- Be aware of the intelligent alert system: if the transmitter or drone battery is low, lights will flash and an alarm will sound. Land the drone immediately.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone flies diagonally or is uncontrollable after take-off. | Not calibrated or calibrated on an uneven surface. | Recalibrate the drone on a flat, level surface before each flight. |
| Drone or transmitter lights flash, and an alarm sounds. | Low battery on drone or transmitter. | Land the drone immediately and recharge the batteries. |
| Poor video quality or connection loss. | Drone is too far from the remote control/mobile device. | Keep the drone within the recommended transmission range (approx. 50m/164ft for video, 80m/262ft for control). Ensure no strong Wi-Fi interference. |
| Drone drifts or is unstable during flight. | Wind interference or need for trim adjustment. | Operate in a windless environment. Use the trim buttons on the remote control to stabilize the drone. |
