6. AUTEL EXPLORER APP
Search for ‘Autel Explorer’ from Google Play and install the app on your controller.
7. PREPARING THE AIRCRAFT
- Before powering on the aircraft, please remove the gimbal guard.
- Unfold the arms and propellers.
NOTE: Power off the aircraft before folding the arms. Fold in the rear arms and propellers first, and then the front ones.
8. PROPELLERS
Because the propellers come attached to the aircraft, the following instructions apply if you need to reinstall propellers.
Attaching the Propellers:
- Power off the aircraft.
- Pair the propellers and corresponding motors according to the white mark.
- Press each propeller down firmly and rotate in the lock direction to securely attach the propeller.
Detaching the Propellers:
- Power off the aircraft.
- Press each propeller down firmly and rotate in the unlock direction to detach the propeller.
LEGEND
- Lock Direction: Fasten the propeller by rotating it as indicated. [clockwise-arrow]
- Unlock Direction: Unfasten the propeller by rotating it as indicated. [counter-clockwise-arrow]
NOTE:
- Power off the aircraft before attaching or detaching propellers.
- Propellers must be undamaged and firmly attached.
9. PREPARING THE CONTROLLER
- Unfold the antenna, detach the stick heads from the back of the controller handle, and screw them into the corresponding screw holes on both sides of the screen.
- Adjust the antenna angle. When the antenna and the back of the controller are at an angle of 180° or 260°, and the antenna surface is facing the aircraft, the signal quality of the aircraft and controller will reach optimal condition.
10. POWERING UP
- Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the controller.
- Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn on the aircraft. The current battery level will be clearly displayed.
11. TAKE OFF
- Start the motors by holding both command sticks for two seconds as shown below. [joystick-down-left] [joystick-down-right]
- Push the left command stick slowly upward. [joystick-up]
NOTE:
- The default control stick mode is mode 2. The left stick controls the altitude and heading of the aircraft, while the right stick controls the forward, backward, and sideward movements.
- Before takeoff, place the aircraft on a level surface and stand well clear of the rear of the aircraft.
12. COMMAND STICK CONTROLS (MODE 2)
Left Command Stick:
- Ascend: Push the left stick upward. [joystick-up]
- Descend: Push the left stick downward. [joystick-down]
- Nose Rotates Left: Push the left stick left. [joystick-left]
- Nose Rotates Right: Push the left stick right. [joystick-right]
- Move Left: Push the left stick left. [joystick-left]

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Information

FCC Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each device are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
For limb worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the device a minimum of 10mm from the body.
