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.
• Make sure 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 6.4-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 3 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 eth 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. Press (short press) the linking button next to the USB port on the right side of the aircraft body to put the aircraft into the linking mode.
2. Power on the Smart Controller and run the Autel Explorer app, enter the mission flight interface, click the gear icon in the upper right corner, enter the settings menu, click “remote control -> data transmission and image transmission linking> start linking”, wait a few seconds until the data transmission is set correctly and the linking is a success.

Takeoff / Landing (Mode 2)

Note

• 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.

Motor Starting
Press in or out on both command sticks for about 2 seconds to start the motors .

Take off
Slowly push up the left stick to take off the aircraft to 2.5m height.

Landing
Slowly push down the left stick until the aircraft lands. Hold the left stick until the motor stops.
