Battery Charging Base
V. Battery Installation
Insert the battery into the battery compartment as directed by the 8 pins as shown below:
VI. Flight
1. Flight Environment
An indoor environment with calm air is recommended.
Indoor flight:
(1) Considering the optical flow positioning and all-round IR obstacle avoidance, clear
marks are required below the flight area.
(2) An indoor flight requires adequate light (illuminance>15lux), like normal fluorescent
lighting.
(3) No strong Wi-Fi interference is allowed.
2. Preflight Checks
(1) Check if the UAV has any structural damage.
(2) Check the battery level of the UAV (refer to the battery level icon on the APP).
(3) Check the battery level of the mobile phone (20% or higher).
3. Preparations for Light
(1) Prepare the UAV:
Keep the UAV in horizontal condition.
(2) Adjust the camera’s pitch angle:
As shown in the figure below, the camera supports 5 pitch angles: 0° (the lens faces the
front), 15° in elevation (push the lens up), or -30°, -60° or -90° in depression (push the
lens down).
(3) Power on the UAV:
Long press the power switch for 3s until the red power indicator is turned on.
(4) Start the flight:
(a) Take Off / Land
Tap the quick takeoff/landing icon “ ”, and the UAV will take off to the 1.5m altitude.
Tap such icon again, and the UAV will land to the takeoff point.
(b) Flight Control Mode – Joystick Mode (U.S. hand)
(c) Flight Control Mode – Motion Mode
In motion mode, tap and hold the motion button and tilt the mobile phone forward,
backward, left or right to control the UAV to fly forward, backward, left or right. Slide the
motion button up/down to increase/reduce the altitude of the UAV. Slide the motion
button left/right to change the heading of the UAV.
(d) Flight Control Mode – Headless Mode
In headless mode, the operating steps are not much different from in remote control
modes. The heading can be changed freely. No matter which angle the UAV has turned
to, the end in the same direction as the remote control will be considered as its tail by
default (easy to operate).
(5) Start shooting/recording:
The UAV supports 4 shooting/recording modes:
(a) Single shot: tap “ ” to shoot one photo.
(b) Normal video: tap “ ” to start/stop recording the video.
(c) Short video: tap “ ” to record a 12s video.
(d) Rotary camera: tap “ ” to rotate the heading clockwise by 360°, throughout which
process, the camera keeps recording the video.
VII. Sharing
Enter the album, select the photos/videos to be shared and tap [Download]. Disconnect
the mobile phone from the UAV’s Wi-Fi hotspot and connect it to your data traffic network
or Wi-Fi network. Tap the album icon on the AEE ZONE and select the photos/videos to
be shared.
1. Select [Camera Album] as shown in the left figure below.
2. Select the target photos/videos and download them onto your mobile phone as shown
in the right figure above.
3. Exit to the interface as shown in the left figure below and tap [Album].
4. Enter the local album as shown in the right figure above.
5. Select the photos to be shared and tap [Share] at the lower right corner to share them
as shown below.
VIII. Calibration
Generally the UAV requires no calibration. However, please calibrate it if the UAV deflects
or shakes.
Place the UAV in normal condition on the ground horizontally and power it on.
1. Start the APP connected to the UAV, tap the remote control mode icon “ ” and select
the joystick mode to enter the following interface:
2. Turn the joysticks to positions shown in the figure below. The power indicator will flash
quickly and then remain on or flash slightly. Wait 20s.
In case of successful calibration, the power indicator will remain on without flashing. If the
power indicator still flashes 20s later, it means the calibration fails. Power off the UAV and
then restart it. If the power indicator still flashes, recalibrate the UAV.
IX. Notes
1. Use the UAV in an indoor environment with calm air.
2. Disable the obstacle avoidance function in a narrow space.
3. If the image received from the UAV is displayed on the APP in an unsmooth or highly
delayed way, restart the APP.
4. Do not insert any finger or easy-to-wind object into the housing.
5. To install the battery or power on the UAV, keep the UAV in horizontal condition rather
than hold it in your hands.
6. Start the APP upon successful Wi-Fi connection. If no image is displayed in 20s, shut
down the APP thoroughly in the background and then restart it.
7. Do not walk around in headless mode.
8. To use the shooting/recording function, insert a SD card and power on the UAV.
9. If the power indicator flashes slightly after powering on the UAV and connecting it to the
APP, calibrate the UAV.
10. Calibrate it if the UAV deflects or shakes in the flight.
11. The motion mode is available in the flight only.
12. No flight is allowed in extreme weather conditions, even in an indoor environment (the
UAV tends to be unstable in extreme weather conditions where the barometric
pressure used to determine the altitude is changed).
