BATTERY SAFETY

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

WARNING:

• 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 electrolyte spills into your eyes or skin accidentally, please rinse the affected area with clean water and seek medical attention in time.

PRECAUTIONS

When using the Autel smart remote controller (hereinafter referred to as the “remote controller”), if the operation is improper, the aircraft may cause a certain degree of injury and damage to personal and property. Please be cautious when using it. For details, please refer to the aircraft’s disclaimer and safety operation guidelines.

1. Before each flight, make sure that the remote controller is fully charged.
2. Make sure that the remote controller antennas are unfolded and adjusted to a suitable position to ensure it working in the best conditions.
3. If the remote controller antenna is damaged, it will affect the performance, please contact the after-sales technical support in time.
4. If the aircraft is changed, it needs to be re-paired before using.
5. Make sure to turn off the aircraft power before turning off the remote controller each time.
6. Make sure to fully charge the remote control every three months.
7. Once the power of the remote control is lower than 10%, please charge the remote in time to prevent the over-discharge issue caused by the long-time storage with low battery level. When the battery is not in use for a long time, please discharge the battery to about 40%~60% first before storage.
8. Do not block the air outlet of the remote controller, to prevent the remote controller from overheating and performance decreasing.
9. Do not disassemble the remote controller. If you need to replace the components, please be sure to contact Autel Robotics after-sales.

AUTEL SMART REMOTE CONTROLLER

The Autel smart remote controller can be used with any supported aircraft, and it provide high-definition real time image transmission. With the complete function buttons of the remote control, it can control and setup the aircraft and camera up to 13km (8.08miles) [1] communication distance. The remote controller has a built-in 7.9-inch 2048×1536 ultra-high-definition, ultra- bright screen with a maximum 2000nit brightness. It provides clear image display under the strong sunlight. With it built-in 128G memory, it’s convenient to store the video footages in time. The working time is about 3 hours when the built-in battery is fully charged and the screen is at the maximum brightness [2]

1. Fly in an open, unobstructed, electromagnetic interference-free environment, and the flight altitude is about 120 meters (393 feet), the remote controller can reach the maximum communication distance under the FCC standard. Due to interference in the actual flight environment, the maximum communication distance may be less than this nominal distance, and it will vary with the intensity of the interference.
2. The above-mentioned working time is measured in a laboratory environment (temperature is room temperature). The battery life varies in different usage scenarios, which is for reference only.

 ANTENNA ADJUSTMENT

Unfold the remote controller antenna and adjust the antenna angle. The signal strengths varies when the antenna angle is different. When the antenna and the back of the remote controller are at an angle of 180° or 260°, and the antenna surface is facing the aircraft, the signal quality of aircraft and remote controller will reach the best condition. When controlling the aircraft, please ensure the aircraft is within the best communication range. 

NOTE:
The LED indicator will flash while charging

• Do not use other communication equipment which has the same frequency band at the same time, to avoid the interference to the remote controller signal.
• In actual operation, Autel Explorer will prompt when the image transmission signal is poor. Please adjust the antenna angle according to the prompts to ensure that the aircraft is in the best communication range.

FREQUENCY MATCH

When the remote controller and the aircraft are purchased as a set, the remote controller has been matched to the aircraft at the factory, and it can be used directly after the aircraft is activated.
If purchased separately, please use the following methods to link.

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 state;
2. Open the remote controller and run Autel Explorer, 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.
