Drone status indicator Light

The drone body contains a nose red indicator light and a Green GPS signal status indicator light. Their location is shown in the picture below.

The red light indicates the direction of the nose of the drone and prompts the drone to have low voltage. The green indicator light indicates the GPS search situation and the calibration process prompt. Please refer to the following table for the different messages.

Drone Status Indicators

The flashing mode of all calibration prompts is the same. For specific calibration, please refer to the display prompts on the remote control screen.

Propellers

The FD1 drone has two pairs of propellers – two clockwise propellers and two counter-clockwise propellers. The hub of each motor shows the type of propeller used for that motor. Propellers cannot be attached to the wrong motor by accident.

Always place one hand under the motor to support it when installing or removing propellers. Failure to provide this support could result in bending or breaking the landing gear.

Attaching and Removing Propellers:

1. Check that the propeller rotation (CW or CCW) matches the motor hub.
2. Grasp the motor housing with one hand and hold the arm of the aircraft upward; grasp the carbon fiber propeller with the other hand and install in the slot correctly.
3. Press down firmly and rotate it so that the carbon fiber propeller is installed in place (the lock mark on the blade is aligned with the dot on the propeller seat), and then slightly force the propeller up.Pull up a little so that the paddle cannot turn left and right.
4. To remove propellers, press down firmly and rotate in the opposite direction to unlock it from the hub.
   • The blades are sharp, please be careful to avoid personal injury.
   • Prior to each flight, please check that the propellers are smooth all over and are correctly installed and securely fastened.
   • Spin each propeller by hand to check that the motors are free of sand or salt and spin freely.If there are impurities in the motor, be sure to clean it up before starting the motor.

Batteries

Drone Battery Installation

1. Fold the battery charging cable and power cable to the side and press it with your thumb.
2. Tilt the battery and insert into the slot from the rear of the drone to the drone nose direction, tighten the rolled strip. Insert the power plug to complete the battery installation.

Power Switch
A power switch is located underneath the drone. when you connect the battery, press and hold the power swift for 3 seconds to power on the drone, and press and hold again for 3 seconds to power off. (*after flying, please be sure to disconnect the battery, Do not store the drone with the battery connected as this can cause permanent damage to the battery.)

Drone low battery warning

There are two low battery warning levels:

Level 1 low battery warning:
when the drone battery level reached at 14.6V, the remote control screen will shows the low voltage icon slowly flash, At the same time alternating nose red indicator light flashing twice at an interval. Now,land the drone as soon as possible.

Level 2 low battery warning:
when the drone battery level reached at 14.2V, and the remote control screen will shows the low voltage icon slowly flash. After 10 seconds, the drone will automatically landing to protect the drone and battery. At this time, alternating nose red indicator light fast flashing. (If you want to land the drone manually,Please switch to ATTI mode to take over the drone control again)

Level 1 warning: pop-up icon, slow flashing prompt (interval 3 seconds)

Level 2 warning: pop-up icon, fast flashing prompt (interval 1 second)

• During the flight , it is important to continuously monitor the battery voltage,since the flight conditions such as strong windy, heavy load or fast maneuvering will be more severe and drain the battery faster.
• It is very dangerous to continue to fly the drone when in low battery condition, which may cause battery damage and the risk of crash.

Low-temperature precautions ：

1. In low-temperature environments (-10C degrees to 5C degrees) , the flight time will be reduced. Ensure batteries are fully charged and kept warm for the batteries before use.
2. Also be aware that the low battery warnings will provide less warning time, so land the drone as soon as the first battery warning appears.

Flight Modes

The GPS satellite positioning accuracy of the drone is displayed as 0-10 on the remote controller. 10 is the highest accuracy. It is recommended to take off at least 5 ,the accuracy is within 1 meter if 10. 9=1.1 meters; 8=1.2 meters, 7=1.3 meters, 6=1.4 meters, 5=1.5 meters.

GPS mode :
This mode uses the GPS module to achieve accurately and stabilized hovering, braking, intelligent flight, intelligent return and other intelligent flight mode functions. In this mode, maximum flight speed is 10m/s, maximum ascend speed is 4m/s, and maximum descend speed is 3m/s.

Headless flight mode:
No matter what direction of the current drone is located in, as long as the joystick is pulled down, the drone will keep the current condition and fly straight towards to return home.

ATTI mode:
This is a more advanced flight mode that does not provide a positioning function, but provides fixed altitude, maintains altitude stabilization, the maximum flight speed up to 18m/s, if the GPS satellite signal is good, return home is available.

• In both ATTI and GPS mode, it is recommended to wait for at least 5 GPS satellites before take-off to ensure that the home point is correctly registered for the return home function to operate.
• Attention to the user: the speed is more faster when flying in the attitude(ATTI) mode. when flying in a windless environment, we recommend the reserve at least 30 meters for the braking distance to ensure flight safety.

Return home

• If the GPS signal is poor (GPS signal shows 0), the Return Home function will not available.
• During the return home process, when you operate the joystick, the drone suspends the returning action. When you stop operating the joystick, the drone continues to execute the return home action.

Preparing for Flight

The drone relies on very sensitive sensors to control flight positioning and stability. the brand new drone only need to calibrate the compass.

• you need to calibrate the drone before any flight If you want to fly on a boat or the other platform.

Gyroscope Calibration

The gyroscope can keep the drone fly stabilized. If the gyroscope is not well calibrated, the drone will cause tilt to one side when taking off, the flight angle will increase and eventually get out of control. ( Note: When the drone lands on the water, it is normal to intermittently see the “Gyro Calibration” message – this is due to the motion of the water and does not indicate that calibration is required.)
Gyroscope calibration is necessary if:

1. Operate the throttle stick alone in a windless environment or ATTI mode. When the drone rises vertically and the tilt angle is big.
2. When in GPS flight mode and using only the THROTTLE joystick, the drone drifts at an angle.
3. The drone has been hit or violently shaken.
4. If the remote control prompts “WARNING Gyroscope error Calibrate Gyroscope”, it needs to be calibrated.
5. When hovering in GPS mode, the aircraft jitters at the hovering point.
   If the calibration fails, “WARNING Aircraft Initializing, Please Wait” will not disappear, please try the process again.

Compass Calibration

Why do you need to calibrate the compass?
Compass calibration is generally called geomagnetic calibration, the main function is to eliminate the interference of external magnetic field on geomagnetism. The geomagnetic compass is a direction sensor of measuring navigation. The direction is one of the three-dimensional angles of the aircraft’s attitude and a very important state quantity in the integrated navigation system. the compass is susceptible to interference from the other electronic devices, magnetic fields, etc., resulting in abnormal flight data.If the compass calibration is not performed after being interference, the drone will drift, lose direction, and even lead to flight accidents.

When do you need to calibrate the compass?

1. Drone is brand new
2. After repaired.
3. The flight location is more than 100km from the last flight.
4. The drone is subject to strong magnetic interference.
5. The drone has been hit or violently shaken.
6. When hovering in GPS mode, the aircraft shakes or drifts greatly.
7. WARNING Compass error Calibrate Compass” appear on the FPV screen

Compass Calibration

• Compass Calibration is performed with the drone outdoors and away from any sources of strong magnetic fields, large pieces of metal, radio poles or mobile phones, etc.
• When compass calibration, mounting the gimbal camera does not recommend, you can install the gimbal camera after the calibration is completed.

IMU Calibration

IMU provides the raw data of the drone’s attitude in space. Generally, gyroscope sensors, acceleration sensors and electronic compasses provide 9DOF data of the drone. IMU does not affect the flight, but if the drone’s response feels skewed,the IMU may need re-calibration.

There are two methods to check the problems of IMU:

1. Place the drone on a horizontal surface and check the P and R values on the OSD screen. The P and R values should preferably be +/- 1.
2. Check the flight attitude of the drone

When do you need to do the IMU calibration?

1. 1. The drone cannot start the motors after completing the compass calibration.
   2. When hovering in GPS mode, the aircraft will shake or drift at angle.
   3. The drone has been hit or violently shaken.
   4. “WARNING IMU error-Calibrate IMU” appear on the FPV screen

Cautions

• Gyroscope calibration on a boat or other unstable platform will not succeed. please do it before boarding .
• When the drone falls on the water, it is normal of occasionally displays the IMU calibration.
• IMU Calibration in a horizontal environment and do not move or disturb the drone during this process.

IMU Calibration

If the calibration fails, “WARNING Aircraft Initializing, Please Wait” will not disappear, please try the process again.

Remote Controller

• The remote controller of the fishing drone works in the band 2.4GHz frequency, and the FPV screen can display the real-time date of flight .
• The installation of the Remote control battery
• The remote controller battery is behind the hatch. Press the hatch slightly and slide it open. Install 4pcs AAA batteries in the correct direction.

Drone control
The remote controller defaults to the left-hand throttle. If you want to switch to the right-hand throttle, please refer to P8 of this manual.

Left-hand throttle- (American/European configuration) (Model 2)

• Remote controller low battery alarm
  There are two low battery warning levels:

• Level 1 low battery warning:
  when the Remote controller screen slowly flashes the low voltage icon, land the drone as soon as possible and replace the battery.

• Level 2 low battery warning:
  when the Remote controller screen fast flash the low voltage icon, the power of the remote controller is about to run out. land the drone and replace the battery.

• Level 1 warning: pop-up icon, slow flashing prompt (interval 3 seconds)

• Level 2 warning: pop-up icon, fast flashing prompt (interval 1 second)

Flight

• If this is your first time flying FD1, please read this manual thoroughly and watch the instructional videos on our official YouTube channel to familiar with the product .to calibrate the drone without a propeller installed, restart the drone and the remote controller, Simulate flight operations. We recommend taking professional training and guidance. When flying, select an open area which appropriates to your skills.
• It is advisable for all drone pilots to become familiar with flying in ATTI mode in case of GPS or magnetic interference which can interfere with drone controls.

The impact of the Flight environmental

1. Although the FD1 is waterproof, please do not fly in particularly bad weather, such as extremely strong windy (wind speed above level 8), dense fog, etc.

2. Choose an open place without tall buildings or water as the flying field. Buildings that use a lot of steel bars will affect the index.
   The compass works, and it will block the GPS signal, resulting in poor positioning effect of the aircraft or even unable to locate.

3. When flying, please try to keep control in sight and keep away from obstacles and crowds, especially novices.

4. Do not fly in areas with high-voltage lines, communication base stations or transmission towers to avoid interference with the remote control communication signal.

5. When flying at an altitude of 4000 meters or more, the performance of the aircraft battery and power system will decrease due to environmental factors, and the flight performance will be reduced.
   Affected, please fly with caution.

6. When flying in a particularly low-temperature environment, please pay special attention to keeping the aircraft battery warm. When flying in a low-temperature environment, special attention must be paid.
   Pay attention to the remaining battery power. Before flying at a long distance, please fly at a short distance and at a low altitude first, and grasp the status of the aircraft in this environment.

7. When working in boat mode, pay special attention to prevent foreign objects from getting entangled in the landing gear or pod of the aircraft.
