Setup
1. Battery Installation & Power On
- Drone Battery: Load the drone battery into the drone's designated compartment. Press and hold the drone's power switch until it powers on.
- Remote Control Battery: Ensure the remote control has its batteries installed. Press the power switch on the remote control to turn it on.

2. Calibration
Calibration is crucial for stable flight. Follow these steps:
- Geomagnetism Calibration: Short press the geomagnetism calibration button on the remote control. The remote will emit a "di" sound.
- Horizontal Rotation: Hold the drone horizontally and turn it clockwise three times until the remote control makes a "di" sound.
- Vertical Rotation: Hold the drone vertically and turn it clockwise three times until the remote control makes a "di" sound.
- Gyroscope Calibration: Short press the gyroscope calibration button on the remote control. The remote will emit a "di" sound.
Refer to Video 1 for a visual guide on the calibration process.
3. GPS Signal Acquisition
For stable outdoor flight and intelligent features, the drone requires sufficient GPS signals. The remote control's display will show the number of acquired GPS satellites. The drone can fly when the number of GPS search reaches 8 or more.

Operating the Drone
1. Takeoff
- Unlock Propellers: Push the right joystick to the lower right corner, and push the left joystick to the lower left corner at the same time. The drone's propeller blades will start to rotate.
- Manual Takeoff: After unlocking, gently push up the left throttle joystick. The drone will take off.
Refer to Video 1 for a visual guide on the takeoff process.
2. Basic Flight Controls
Familiarize yourself with the remote control joysticks for basic flight maneuvers:
- Left Joystick (Throttle/Yaw):
- Up/Down: Increase/Decrease altitude.
- Left/Right: Rotate drone left/right (yaw).
- Right Joystick (Pitch/Roll):
- Up/Down: Fly forward/backward (pitch).
- Left/Right: Fly left/right (roll).
3. Intelligent Flight Features
The P17 PRO Drone offers several intelligent flight modes:
- Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or the connected smart device.
- Waypoint Flight: Plan a flight path by tapping points on the map in the app, and the drone will fly along the designated route.
- Point of Interest: Select a central point, and the drone will circle around it at a set radius.
- Smart Return Home: The drone will automatically return to its takeoff point when the battery is low, signal is lost, or the auto-return button is pressed.
- 360° Obstacle Avoidance: The drone can sense obstacles up to 10 meters ahead, enhancing flight safety.

4. Landing
To land the drone:
- Manual Landing: Gently pull down the left throttle joystick until the drone lands.
- Auto-Return Landing: Press the auto-return button on the remote control, and the drone will return to its takeoff point and land automatically.
Refer to Video 1 for a visual guide on the auto-return landing process.
5. Camera Operation & FPV
The drone is equipped with a 4K camera and 5G Wi-Fi real-time transmission for FPV (First Person View) and high-quality photo/video capture.
- Connect to App: Download the dedicated drone app on your smartphone. Connect your phone to the drone's Wi-Fi network.
- Real-time View: Once connected, you will see a real-time video feed from the drone's camera on your smartphone screen.
- Photo/Video Capture: Use the dedicated buttons on the remote control or within the app to take photos (JPEG) or record videos (4K, 1080P).
