Battery Safety

The controller is powered by a smart lithium-ion battery. Improper use of lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous. Please ensure that the following battery usage, charging and storage guidelines are strictly followed.

Note

• Only use the battery and charger provided by Autel Robotics. It is forbidden to modify the battery assembly and its charger or use third-party equipment to replace it.
• The electrolyte in the battery is extremely corrosive. If the electrolyte spills into your eyes or skin accidentally, please rinse the affected area with clean water and seek medical attention immediately.

Precaution

If used improperly, the aircraft may cause injury and damage to people and property. Please be cautious while using it. For details, please refer to the aircraft’s disclaimer and safety guidelines.

• Before each flight, make sure that the controller is fully charged.
• Ensure the controller antennas are unfolded and adjusted to the appropriate position to ensure the best possible flight results.
• If the controller antennas are damaged, it will affect the performance. Please contact the after-sales technical support immediately.
• If the aircraft is changed due to damage, it needs to be relinked before use.
• Make sure to turn off the aircraft power before turning off the controller each time.
• When not in use, make sure to fully charge the controller every three months.
• Once the power of the controller is less than 10%, please charge it to prevent an over-discharge error. This is caused by long-term storage with a low battery charge. When the controller will not be in use for an extended time, discharge the battery between 40%-60% before storage.
• Do not block the vent of the controller to prevent overheating and diminished performance.
• Do not disassemble the controller. If any parts of the controller are damaged, contact Autel Robotics After-Sale Support

Item List

Overview

The Autel Smart Controller SE is integrated with a 6.39-inch touch screen which boasts a 2340×1080 pixel resolution. The controller f can transmit a live HD view from the aircraft[1] at a distance of up to 15km[1] (9.32 miles). The controller uses the Android operating system and supports Wi-Fi internet connection, Bluetooth and GNSS. Users can download third-party APPs. The built-in battery has a capacity of 1900mAh, providing a maximum operating time of about 4 hours[2].

1. In an actual flight environment, the maximum transmission range may be less than this nominal distance and will vary with the interference strength.
2. The above-mentioned operating time is measured in a lab environment at room temperature. The battery life will vary in different usage scenarios.

Charge the Battery

Check the Battery Level

Press the power button to check the battery level

Power On / Off

Press and hold the power button for 2 secs to turn on and off the controller

Charge
Connect one end of the USB-C cable to the USB-C interface at the top of the controller, and the other end to power adapter. Plug the power adapter into AC power outlet (100-240V).

Note

• LED indication light will blink while charging.
• Only use the battery and charger provided by Autel Robotics.
• Recharge the battery at least every 3 months to prevent over discharging. The battery depletes when stored for an extended period.

Set Up the Controller

Install the Sticks
The sticks storage slots are located on the back of the controller. Please take out the sticks and screw them into the corresponding bases

Adjust the Antennas

Unfold the controller antennas and adjust them to the optimal angle. The signal strength varies when the antenna angle is different. When the antenna and the back of the controller are at an angle of 180° or 270°, and the antenna surface is facing the aircraft, the signal quality between aircraft and controller will reach the optimal condition

Note

• To avoid controller signal interference, please do not use other communication equipment with the same frequency band at the same time.
• During operation, the App will prompt the user when the image transmission signal is poor. Adjust the antenna angles according to the prompts to ensure the controller and aircraft have the best communication range.

Pair the Frequency

1. Turn on the aircraft and the remote controller, double-click the aircraft battery button. The LED on the rear of the aircraft will flash quickly to show it is ready to pair.
2. Connect your remote controller and mobile phone, open Autel Sky App, click “Connect New Aircraft” in “Personal Center”, and follow the pairing instruction.
3. After successful pairing, the LED at the tail of aircraft will stay for 5 seconds and then flash slowly. The App will switch to the image transmission interface

Takeoff / Landing

(Mode 2)

• Mode 2 is the default control mode of the Smart Controller. 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 flat and level surface and face the rear side of the aircraft towards you.
• Please make sure that the controller is successfully paired with the aircraft.

SAR Information Statement

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the Limb is 0.962W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.638W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safeexposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID : 2AGNTEF6240958A Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna
