Eachine E58 Drone User Manual

Important Safety Information

This product is not a toy but a sophisticated piece of equipment requiring knowledge of mechanics, electronics, aerodynamics, and high-frequency transmission. It requires assembly and commissioning to prevent accidents. Users must operate with safety in mind. Improper operation can cause serious injury or material damage. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents due to improper assembly, use, or operation, as they cannot control these processes.

This product is suitable for individuals with model operating experience. Recommended for ages 14 and above.

Flight must occur at a legally designated remote control flight site.

Once sold, the manufacturer is not liable for any safety issues arising from operation or use.

For operational or measurement issues, contact local distributors for technical support and after-sales service.

Safety Precautions

• Fly Away from Obstacles and Crowds: Remote control aircraft have uncertain flight speeds and states, posing potential risks. Fly away from people, high-rise buildings, high-voltage wires, and avoid adverse weather conditions like wind, rain, and thunderstorms to ensure the safety of pilots, surrounding populations, and property.
• Avoid Wet Environments: The aircraft contains sophisticated electronic and mechanical components. Prevent the drone from getting wet to avoid malfunctions caused by moisture.
• Safe Operation: Operate the drone according to your flying skills and condition. Fatigue, poor mental state, or improper operation increase the risk of accidents.
• Keep Away from Rotating Parts: Maintain distance from high-speed rotating propellers to prevent injury.
• Keep Away from Heat: The drone is made of metal, fiber, plastic, and electronic components. Keep it away from heat sources to prevent deformation or damage from high temperatures.

Setup and Charging

Remote Control and Aircraft Battery Installation

Remote Control Battery: Insert batteries into the remote control according to the polarity (+/-) indicated inside the battery compartment.

Aircraft Battery: The aircraft uses a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Connect the USB charging cable to the aircraft's battery connector and the other end to a computer's USB port or a compatible charger. The charging indicator light will turn on and off when fully charged.

Important LiPo Battery Care: LiPo batteries are different from general batteries. They are lightweight but vulnerable to rough handling. Improper use can lead to fire or explosion. Do not charge the battery inside the model. If storing for over a week, keep the battery at approximately 50% charge to increase its lifespan. Use only the original professional charger and avoid charging on flammable surfaces. Batteries stored for over three months require recharging to maintain voltage and lifespan.

Aircraft Installation

Propeller Installation: Install propellers correctly. Propellers marked 'A' should be fitted to the top-left and bottom-right arms of the drone. Propellers marked 'B' should be fitted to the top-right and bottom-left arms. Ensure propellers are securely fastened with screws.

Protective Frame Installation: Attach the protective frames to the drone's arms.

Remote Control Functions and Operation

The remote control features a 2.4G frequency for stable operation. It also includes a mobile phone holder.

Basic Flight Controls

• Ascend/Descend (Throttle): Push the left stick up to increase motor speed and ascend. Pull the left stick down to decrease motor speed and descend.
• Forward/Backward (Pitch): Push the right stick up (forward) to move the drone forward. Pull the right stick down (backward) to move the drone backward. (The right stick controls pitch when the camera is facing forward).
• Left/Right Yaw: Push the left stick left to yaw the drone left. Push the left stick right to yaw the drone right. (The left stick controls yaw).
• Left/Right Fly (Roll): Push the right stick left to move the drone left. Push the right stick right to move the drone right. (The right stick controls roll when the camera is facing forward).

Fine Tuning (Trimming)

Use the trim buttons to correct any unwanted drift:

• Forward/Backward Trim: If the drone drifts forward, press the backward trim button. If it drifts backward, press the forward trim button.
• Left/Right Yaw Trim: If the drone drifts left, press the right yaw trim button. If it drifts right, press the left yaw trim button.
• Left/Right Roll Trim: If the drone drifts left, press the right roll trim button. If it drifts right, press the left roll trim button.

Headless Mode

In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is disregarded. The forward direction is always relative to the remote control's position. Press the Headless Mode button to activate; the remote will beep twice, and the drone's lights will flash. Press again to exit.

When entering Headless Mode, the drone will automatically set its rear direction as the flight direction. Controls are then relative to the remote's orientation.

Speed Selection

The drone has three speed settings: Slow, Medium, and Fast. The default is Slow. Press the speed button once for Medium speed (two beeps), and twice for Fast speed (three beeps). Press again to return to Slow speed.

Beginners are recommended to start with Slow speed.

Takeoff and Landing

• One-Key Takeoff: Place the drone on a flat surface, power on the remote and drone, push the throttle stick to the highest point and then pull it down. The drone's indicator lights will turn solid, and the frequency pairing is complete. Press the one-key takeoff button.
• One-Key Landing: Press the one-key landing button during flight to land the drone.
• Emergency Landing: In urgent situations, press the emergency stop button. The drone will cease all functions. Note: Do not use this during regular high-altitude flight. If the drone tilts over 45 degrees, it will stop to protect the motor.

Calibration (Reset Settings)

This function resets the drone's six-axis gyroscope and fine-tunes the remote control. Ensure the drone is on a horizontal surface. Press and hold the calibration button (as indicated in diagrams) for 2 seconds. The remote will beep once, and the drone's lights will flash rapidly, indicating successful calibration.

This function is typically used for aircraft maintenance or if the drone experiences significant drift.

App Features (JY UFO)

Download the "JY UFO" app for real-time aerial photography and FPV (First Person View) flight.

Connecting to the App

1. Turn on the drone.
2. On your phone, enable WiFi and connect to the drone's WiFi network (e.g., "WiFiUFO-###").
3. Open the "JY UFO" app.
4. Tap "Play" to enter the main interface, then tap the control icon to access the flight controls.
5. Tap the "Altitude Hold" icon to enable altitude hold mode.

App Controls

• Virtual Joysticks: Control the drone's movement using on-screen joysticks.
• Take Photos/Record Video: Use the camera and video buttons within the app.
• Media Library: Access captured photos and videos.
• Speed Settings: Adjust flight speed (30%/60%/100%).
• Gravity Sensor Mode: Enable this mode to control the drone by tilting your phone. The icon will turn yellow when active.
• Custom Route: Plan and execute custom flight paths.
• 360° Roll: Perform barrel rolls.
• One-Key Takeoff/Landing/Return: Initiate takeoff, landing, or return to home with a single tap.

When WiFi connection is successful, you can view the camera feed on your phone. Ensure an SD card is inserted in the camera if needed for storage.

Mounting Phone: Pull out the phone holder on the remote control and secure your phone.

When the drone is less than 30 cm from the ground, it can be affected by ground currents, causing instability (ground effect). This effect is stronger with larger drones.
