Product Introduction
Thanks for choosing our unmanned aircraft system. This product is a miniature multi-functional unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) with quad rotors, featuring vertical take-off and landing. With the integrated design based on the
highest standards in the world and the professional airborne camera monitoring device, ground station control
device, and miniaturized remote control integrating real-time monitoring and video recording, it can satisfy all
requirements under different environments and missions. Stable and reliable, this system can be operated in a
simple and flexible way. It can easily realize editing of waypoints on a 3D map, setting of air routes, real-time
sending back such information as coordinates, flight attitude, speed and video. It can also meet the shooting
requirements for multi-dimensional investigation and monitoring. The product is widely applied in such missions as
military reconnaissance, anti-terrorism and riot control, security monitoring, emergency rescue and disaster relief,
patrol and rescue, tracking and search, public security, traffic control, exploration and survey, and recording and
evidence taking, and is favored by various departments and industries like army, armed police, public security, traffic
police, fire control, land administration, electric power, communication, mining and geography.
Safety Precautions
* Check all components of the product to see if they are in good condition; please do not fly if any component is
aged or damaged.
* In the initial stage, please try to avoid operating it alone; it is suggested that an experienced person be on site to
offer guidance for flying.
* In order to avoid accidents, please do not simultaneously start two UAVs within a short distance whenever
possible.
* It is forbidden to abnormally turn off the remote control and the ground station during flying; otherwise,
unpredictable consequence may be caused!
* Before flying, please make sure that the video and radio antennas have been properly installed to avoid influence
on the flight or the video receiving distance, or damage to the UAV or the transmitter module inside the remote
control.
* Without permission, please do not disassemble or modify this unmanned aircraft system.
* Under outdoor conditions, the UAV can be started only when the number of satellites searched out by GPS is
greater than or equal to 6. Forced take-off when the number of satellites searched out by GPS is less than 6 may

result in the following consequences:
a. When it is beyond the operating range, it may be impossible for the UAV to go back to the take-off position;
b. When the remote control signals are jammed, it may be impossible for the UAV to go back to the take-off
position;
c. When switching the auto fly mode, the UAV may not hover at the current position;
d. When “One-key Go Home” is enabled, it may be impossible for the UAV to go back to the take-off position;
* Please keep away from running parts; when the propellers of the UAV are running, do not touch and do keep
away from any rotating part; especially, keep one’s head away from the propellers to avoid injury. In the meantime,
keep the UAV away from small metal objects to prevent dangers taking place as the metal objects are attracted by
the UAV.
* At the take-off and landing positions, make sure there is no moving person or obstacle within the radius of 10m
around the UAV. Fly the UAV in safety zones away from people, and take care to ensure the safety of your own
and other people as well as the safety in the vicinity.
* Keep away from humid environments; prevent water vapor from entering the UAV which may cause damage to
electronic components or result in unpredictable consequences.
* Keep away from heat sources which may lead to aging, deformation or even melting and damage of materials of
the UAV.
* Do not fly when the wind force is above Level 6, in order to prevent the UAV from being damaged or lost due to
loss of control.
* For editing of waypoints, please make sure each waypoint is high enough in altitude (relative to the take-off
position of the UAV) to avoid intersection between the air route and mountains or buildings which may result in
collision between the UAV and the said mountains or buildings during flight along the air route.
* If the map fails to be loaded when the ground station software is started, please close the software, connect to the
network and restart the software; or make use of data management of Google Maps to restore map data.
* Under the precondition that network service is available at the ground station, if Google Earth fails to download
new map data, you can first enter Google Satellite. After it is confirmed that Google Satellite can download new
maps, enter Google Earth again to download new maps. If this problem still exists, please contact our Customer
Service Department.
* When the remote control is used to control the UAV, please make sure that the option of “Send Joystick Data” in
the ground station software is NOT checked before take-off; when the ground station joystick is used to control the
UAV, please make sure that the remote control is in the OFF state before take-off.
* In order to avoid accidental damage of map files, please timely back up the map data after downloading.
* Please disable the function of auto clearing Internet Explorer in different types of antivirus software to prevent the
map data from being deleted by mistake.
* For outdoor use, it is suggested to carry a 3G network card in case of absence of local map in the existing map
data or backup map data.
* For the sake of safety of your life and property, please use the product strictly in accordance with the User’s
Manual, and do not carry out improper operations.
Notice: Please strictly comply with the above safety precautions; any consequence resulting from
incompliance shall be on your own account.

Notice: When a level 2 alarm for low battery of the UAV is sent, the UAV will automatically land at the current
position rather than go home; at this moment, you can switch to the manual mode so that the UAV will go
home. In case of level 1 alarm for low battery of the UAV, or level 2 alarm for low battery of the remote
control or ground station, please decide whether the flight can proceed with caution (it is suggested that the
flight should proceed after replacement of the battery), in order to avoid flight accident resulting from low
battery of the UAV or remote control! When a level 1 alarm for low battery of the UAV is sent, it is suggested
that the throttle joystick should not be pushed to the full position whenever possible, so as to prolong the
flight time. If the throttle joystick stays at the full position for a long time after the said alarm, the UAV will
enter the level 2 low battery state ahead of time.

snap is fastened to the aircraft
body.
Preparations before Take-off
1. Check the batteries of the UAV and the remote control to see if the battery level is high enough; in case of low
battery level (<22.2V), please replace the battery.
2. Check the propellers of the UAV to see if they are tightened.
3. Make sure that the manual/auto fly switch of the remote control is in the manual fly mode.
4. Check the servo; in case of any anomaly (indication bars do not jump or indication is inaccurate during
checking), please calibrate the joysticks. (For servo checking and joystick calibration, please make sure the
power switch of the UAV is in the OFF state, in order to avoid accidental take-off of the UAV.)
5. Turn off the power switch after the UAV is placed at the take-off position; to ensure safety, there should be no
obstacle at the take-off position within the radius of 10m around the UAV.
6. Turn on the power switch of the UAV; for outdoor flight, GPS satellite positioning is required; take-off is allowed
only when the GPS signal strength indicator is greater than or equal to 6.
7. In order to avoid accidents, please do not simultaneously start two UAVs within a short distance whenever

possible.
8. Before take-off, please make sure that the video and radio antennas have been properly installed to avoid
influence on the flight or the video receiving distance, or damage to the UAV or the transmitter module inside
the remote control.
9. When the remote control is used to control the UAV, please make sure that the option of “Send Joystick Data” in
the ground station software is not checked before take-off; when the ground station joystick is used to control
the UAV, please make sure that the remote control is in the OFF state before take-off.
Control the Flight with the Remote Control
The remote control is specially developed for the unmanned aircraft system to make it convenient for controlling the
flight of the UAV. The remote control can independently control the flight of the UAV, and can display the flight status
of the UAV and the real-time images from the airborne camera simultaneously.
