• Fly in open areas, away from people, animals, buildings, and obstacles.
• Maintain a safe distance from power lines, trees, and water bodies.
• Do not fly in strong winds, rain, snow, or other adverse weather conditions.
• Keep the drone within your line of sight at all times.
• Understand and comply with local drone regulations and airspace restrictions.
• Avoid flying over private property without permission.

Setup

1. Unfolding the Drone

Gently unfold the drone arms until they lock into place. Ensure all four arms are fully extended and stable.

2. Battery Installation and Charging

Insert the fully charged intelligent battery into the drone's battery compartment until it clicks securely. For the remote control, open the battery cover and insert the required batteries (not specified in input, assuming standard AA/AAA, will omit specific type). Connect the drone batteries to the USB charging cable and plug into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter). The charging indicator will show charging status and turn off when fully charged. Each 2200mAh battery provides approximately 20-22 minutes of flight time.

3. Remote Control Setup

Attach your smartphone to the remote control's phone mount. Power on the remote control. The remote control display screen will show the drone's battery level, distance, speed, status, and enabled functions, providing clear control over the drone's situation.

Figure 3: The remote control features a display screen for real-time flight information and a mount for your smartphone.

4. App Installation and Connection

Download the official KINGULL drone application from your device's app store. Power on the drone and the remote control. Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (SSID usually starts with "KINGULL-" or similar). Open the app and follow the on-screen prompts to establish a connection.

5. Calibration

Before each flight, perform compass and gyroscope calibration as instructed in the app. This ensures accurate GPS positioning and stable flight performance.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Flight Controls

• One Key Start/Landing: Press the dedicated button on the remote control for automatic take-off or landing.
• Altitude Hold: The drone will maintain its current altitude automatically, allowing for stable hovering.
• Movement: Use the joysticks on the remote control to control the drone's ascent/descent, forward/backward, and left/right movements.

2. Intelligent GPS Functions

The G9 drone is equipped with advanced GPS features for enhanced flight experience:

• Auto Return Home (RTH): The drone will automatically return to its take-off point if the signal is lost, battery is low, or if manually activated. This feature minimizes the risk of losing the drone.

• Follow Me Mode: The drone will automatically follow your movements, capturing video or photos as you go. This is ideal for hands-free recording of activities.
• Tap Fly (Waypoint Flight): Draw a path on the app's map interface, and the drone will fly along the designated route.
• Point of Interest: Select a central point on the map, and the drone will circle around it at a specified radius and altitude, capturing panoramic views.

3. Camera Operation

The G9 drone is equipped with a 4K UHD camera with a 120° wide-angle and 90° adjustable lens. Photos and videos can be stored on an SD card (up to 64GB, not included) or directly streamed to your connected smartphone via 5G FPV transmission.

• Taking Photos: Press the camera icon in the app or on the remote control to capture still images.
• Recording Videos: Press the video icon to start/stop recording.
• Adjusting Camera Angle: Use the dedicated button/dial on the remote control or in the app to adjust the camera's vertical angle during flight.

4. Speed Adjustment

The drone offers multiple speed modes (e.g., two-speed mode) to accommodate different skill levels and flying conditions. Adjust the speed via the remote control or app.

5. Headless Mode

In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier for beginners to control without worrying about the drone's front direction.

6. Emergency Stop

In an emergency, press the emergency stop button on the remote control to immediately cut power to the motors and land the drone. Use this function only when necessary to prevent damage or injury.
