Safety Guidelines

1. To use the M5 has potential safety risk, children under 18 are not recommended to be the operator.
2. For increased safety, flying your aircraft in a non-fly zone is prohibited. Please follow the local laws to fly your aircraft and ensure your flight is restricted to a height of 120m.
3. For your safety flight, please ensure your aircraft flies in an open-area and your vision range. Crowds, trees, tall buildings and high-tension wires or magnetic field may also affect aircraft’s signal and compass. Flying your aircraft in such areas is not recommended.
4. While the red LED of aircraft tail blinks rapidly, it indicates that low battery warning is triggered. Users are advised to land the aircraft immediately when prompt. We recommend you continue your flight after fully charged.

Flight Tips

1. For better recording of the home point outdoor, please ensure the aircraft has already received 7 or more satellites’ signal before takeoff. The more satellites’ signal received, the more stable hover aircraft features. We recommend you change your flight location if no satellites signal is being found.
2. For indoor flight, please only fly your aircraft when lighting condition is adequate and on textured surface. (For more information please refer to the M5 user manual) Optical Flow Position System may not work properly when the aircraft is flying over monochrome surfaces, transparent surfaces, highly reflective surfaces and water.
3. Battery capacity is significantly decreased when flying in low temperature environments. We recommend you turn on the aircraft to warm up the battery close to 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

Compass Calibration
For the first time using M5, it is required to calibrate the compass, or the system might not work properly and then result in flight safety issues. The compass is easily subjected to other electromagnetic devices and affects the flight. So calibrating the compass occasionally can keep it in best status without any data error happening. Follow these steps to calibrate compass:

Do not calibrate in strong electromagnetic field. Please retry it again in other locations if compass calibration fails for a couple of times.

Please calibrate the compass when flying in a new location.

1. Do not calibrate the compass at place may have strong interference.
2. Do not calibrate the compass around buildings, High-Voltage Line, Signal Toweror on metal surfaces.
