View Basic Information of the Smart Battery

Here, you can view the real-time status of the battery and the estimated flight time of the aircraft with the current battery level. Please refer to the parameters in the following table to view the basic information of the battery, so as to deal with it in time when the battery condition is not good.

Set Battery Warning Threshold
Move the slider left or right to set warning thresholds for low battery and critically low battery.

Critically Low Battery Warning: Red status. The adjustable range is from 8% to 25%.
Low Battery Warning: Orange status. The adjustable range is from 15% to 50%. The low battery warning threshold should be at least 5% higher than the critically low battery warning threshold.

Gimbal Settings
In the sidebar of the “Settings” interface, click the icon to enter the “Gimbal Settings” interface, where you can set the gimbal pitch sensitivity and extended pitch angle, or calibrate and adjust the gimbal, as shown below.

Set Gimbal Pitch Sensitivity
Enter a value in the edit box to the right of “Gimbal Pitch Sensitivity”, or move the slider left or right to adjust the value, so as to set the number of degrees the gimbal rotates on the pitch axis per second (unit: 0/second).

More
In the sidebar of the “Settings” interface, click the “O” icon to enter the “More” interface, where you can configure unit settings, light settings, safety, target recognition settings, and the language settings of the Autel Enterprise App for the aircraft and manually check for updates to the App or firmware.

Unit Settings
Click “Units Settings”, and then set “Speed/Distance Units”, “Area Units”, “Temperature Units”, and “Coordinate Format” according to your needs. After the setting, the Autel Enterprise App will display relevant parameters in the specified units.

Light Settings
Click “Light Settings”, and then set “Stealth”, “Strobe”, and “Aux Light” according to your needs.
Turn On/Off Stealth Mode
Click the button to the right of “Stealth” to turn on or off stealth mode.

If stealth mode is turned on, the arm lights, strobe, and auxiliary bottom light will be turned off by default.
If stealth mode is turned off, you can configure the strobe and auxiliary bottom light .

Warning

Turning off the arm lights and strobe may violate local laws and regulations. Only turn on stealth mode when necessary.
Turn On/Off Strobe
Click the button to the right of “Strobe” to turn on or off the strobe on the top of the fuselage .
When flying at night, please turn on the strobe to ensure flight safety.
Do not look directly at the strobe while they are on to avoid vision damage caused by strong light.

Set Aux Light
Click the drop-down list of “Aux Light” and then select “Auto”, “On”, or “Off’ according to your needs.

If “Auto” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is automatically turned on or off according to ambient brightness.
If “On” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is always on by default.
If “Off” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is off by default.

Tip The auxiliary bottom light is mainly used to enhance the ambient brightness of the landing point during the landing of the aircraft, improve the sensing performance of the downward visual sensing system, and ensure landing safety.

Turn On/Off Visual Positioning
Click “Safety”, and then click the button to the right of “Visual Positioning” to turn on or off the visual positioning function.
If the visual positioning function is turned on, the aircraft will hover in a place with a poor GNSS signal.

Tip Turning on visual positioning is a must to enter visual positioning mode.

Turn On/Off GNSS
Click “Safety”, and then click the button to the right of “GNSS” to turn on or off the GNSS positioning function.

If “Auto” is selected, the aircraft will automatically select the best GNSS positioning signal.
If “Beidou” is selected, the aircraft will only receive GNSS positioning signals from the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System .

Warning

For non-specialized operations, it is recommended to always turn on GNSS positioning. GNSS positioning can enhance the flight safety of the aircraft.
When GNSS positioning is turned on and the aircraft are flying in an environment with good lighting and rich texture, the aircraft will enter the visual positioning mode.
When GNSS positioning is turned off and the aircraft are flying in an environment with poor lighting or insufficient texture, the aircraft will enter the ATTI mode. In this mode, the aircraft has high safety risks and is prone to flight accidents.
If you choose to turn off the GNSS positioning function and this leads to flight accidents or aircraft damage, Autel Robotics will not provide warranty services. Instead, you should be responsible for any related accidents on your own.
The “Beidou” navigation mode is a specific function for China. In other regions, “Auto” is selected by default to automatically select the GNSS positioning signal. After switching the navigation mode, you must restart the aircraft for the changes to take effect.
After the GNSS positioning function is turned off, the aircraft cannot turn on the auto-return function.

Turn On/Off Submit Flight Data to CAAC
Click “Safety”, and then click the button to the right of “Submit Flight Data to CAAC” to turn on or off the function of submitting flight data to CAAC.

Important

It is recommended to turn on the function of submitting flight data to CAAC. According to Chinese laws and regulations, flight data must be submitted in real time to the official system of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) via the internet.
When the network is poor, the relevant flight data will be cached on your local device, and the Autel Enterprise App will not store or forward the data to other services.

Enter Registration No.
Click “Safety” and then click “Registration No.” to enter the real-name registration number of the aircraft.
Important According to Chinese laws and regulations, real-name registration is required for aircraft. For more information, see “2.1 Legal Use Notice” in Chapter 2.

Important According to local laws and regulations, perform real-name registration for aircraft.

Emergency Stop Propellers During Flight
Click “Safety” and then click the drop-down list of “Emergency Stop Propellers During Flight” to make relevant settings according to your needs.

If “Off” is selected, the “Emergency Stop Propellers During Flight” function will be disabled.
If “On” is selected, you can stop the propellers of the aircraft from spinning at any time during flight by simultaneously pushing the two command sticks inward or outward.
If “Only in case of failure” is selected, you can stop the propellers of the aircraft from spinning by simultaneously pushing the two command sticks inward or outward only in the case of aircraft malfunctions.

Important

Please use the “Emergency Stop Propellers During Flight” function with caution. Once the propellers stop, the aircraft will fall freely without control.
This function is only used to reduce additional harm or damage caused by aircraft malfunctions. Please stay away from crowds or buildings when using this function.
After the “Emergency Stop Propellers During Flight” function is enabled, please stop using the aircraft and contact Autel Robotics to inspect the power system of the aircraft.
