Safety Precautions
Operating a drone requires responsibility. Always adhere to local regulations and the following safety guidelines:
- Environment: Fly in open areas, away from people, buildings, power lines, and airports. Avoid flying in adverse weather conditions (rain, strong winds, fog).
- Regulations: Familiarize yourself with drone laws in your region.
- Battery Safety: Use only the provided charger. Do not overcharge or discharge the battery. Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Handle damaged batteries with care. ⚠️
- Pre-Flight Checks: Ensure the drone, controller, and batteries are in good condition. Check propeller installation and GPS signal strength.
- Line of Sight: Always keep the drone within your visual line of sight.
- Payloads: If using the airdrop function, ensure payloads are secure and within weight limits. Do not drop objects that could cause harm or damage.
- Obstacle Avoidance: While the 360° laser system is advanced, it may not detect all obstacles (e.g., thin wires, glass). Always maintain situational awareness.
Getting Started
- Unboxing: Carefully unpack all components: drone, remote controller, batteries, propellers, charger, and accessories.
- Battery Installation: Insert the drone battery into the battery compartment until it clicks. Ensure the remote controller batteries are installed correctly.
- Charging: Connect the charger to the drone battery and a power source. The indicator light will show charging status. Charge fully before the first flight. ⚡
- Propeller Installation: Attach propellers to the correct motor arms, ensuring they are securely fastened. Propellers are typically marked for specific motors (e.g., A/B).
- Powering On: Turn on the remote controller first, then power on the drone.
- Pairing: The drone and controller should pair automatically. If not, follow the on-screen prompts or manual pairing procedure.
- App Connection: Download the JJRC flight control app from your device's app store. Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network and launch the app for FPV (First Person View) and advanced controls.
Basic Flight Operations
- Takeoff: Place the drone on a flat, open surface. Simultaneously push both joysticks down and outwards (or use the one-key takeoff button) to start the motors. Gently push the left joystick up to ascend.
- Landing: Gently pull the left joystick down until the drone lands. Hold the joystick down for a few seconds to stop the motors (or use the one-key landing button).
- Directional Control:
- Left Joystick: Ascend/Descend (Vertical), Rotate Left/Right (Yaw)
- Right Joystick: Forward/Backward (Pitch), Left/Right (Roll)
- Return-to-Home (RTH): If GPS signal is strong, pressing the RTH button will command the drone to fly back to its recorded home point. Ensure the home point was recorded correctly before takeoff. ?
Advanced Functions
- Obstacle Avoidance: Ensure the laser sensors are unobstructed. The drone will automatically slow down or stop if an obstacle is detected.
- Panoramic Shooting: Activate this mode via the app to automatically capture a 360° or wide-angle panorama.
- Airdrop: Follow app instructions to load and release payloads. Ensure the mechanism is armed and disarmed appropriately.
Troubleshooting
- Drone not responding: Check battery levels, ensure pairing is successful, and verify the remote controller is powered on.
- Poor GPS signal: Fly in open areas with a clear view of the sky. Wait for sufficient satellites to lock.
- Unstable flight: Check propeller installation and balance. Ensure the drone is not in windy conditions. Recalibrate the IMU if necessary. ⚙️
- Video feed issues: Ensure your smartphone is connected to the drone's 5G Wi-Fi. Check for interference.
