1. Learning How to Fly

There are many steps to operate the drone, you need to understand the performance, settings and operation of the drone.
Learning channels:

1. Manual 2. Quick Guide 3. APP operation animation 4. Operation video

2. Flight Environment and Signal Interference

Obstacles and magnetic fields can cause interference with radio signals. Flying in an open, unobstructed environment can help reduce the likelihood of interference from physical obstacles.

Interference:

Lose Signal Type

| Consequences|

Solutions

---|---|---

WiFi Image Transmission Signal|

Can’t reach the transmission distance of the publicity image
Screen freeze

|

Use one-key return to return the drone
Change the flight direction or flight environment
Point the remote control and mobile phone at the flight direction of the aircraft during flight

Operating temperature| 0°-40°| In low temperature weather (below 0°), the power consumption is fast, and the flight time will be shortened
Charging power
Charging time| 5V=2-3A
About 2.5 hours|

It is forbidden to use high probability chargers
Prolonged charging is prohibited.
Charge immediately after flight is prohibited

Forbidden to Use|

The battery is damp and water ingress
