The throttle lever of the remote control is the power lever that controls the propeller speed; it can control the
rising and descending of the UAV. The throttle lever should be pushed gently, and fast change should be avoided.
The right joystick of the remote control is the direction lever; the UAV goes leftwards, rightwards, forwards and
backwards respectively when the right joystick of the remote control is pushed leftwards, rightwards, forwards and
backwards.
During manual fly, the forward motion direction of the UAV can be corrected by combining the right joystick
while operating the left joystick. When the UAV is in the air, any unpredictable airflow change will cause drifting and
autorotation of the aircraft, which breaks the original balance. In such case, the UAV will inevitably rotate and drift.
Therefore, comprehensive control measures should be taken.

Map Backup
The ground station system adopts the data platforms of Google Earth and Google Satellite. During map browsing,
the system will automatically save the data of browsed maps to the system so that you can view the browsed maps
offline. However, the map storage capacity of Google Earth is limited (the maximum capacity of Google Earth is 2G
and that of Google Maps is 1G). When the capacity of browsed map data exceeds this limit, the old map data will be
lost.
In addition, data loss may be caused by misoperation, which will result in the failure of access to Google Earth data
platform after the ground station system is opened.
To avoid loss of map data, data backup software is provided in the Ubuntu operating system. This software provides
the following three functions:
1 Save map data; during use of the ground station, the user can save the map data according to area partition
and date.
Note: The data backup file should not exceed the map capacity limit (Google Earth: 2G; Google Maps: 1G).
2 Restore map data; in case maps cannot be loaded due to data loss during use, if access to Internet is also not
available, the user can enter this software to restore map data.
3 Delete: Delete undesired backup data.
Important: Before use of map backup, first open the ground station GS software in the Windows system, and
make sure that maps of Google Satellite and Google Earth have been downloaded and can be used.
The backup operation steps are as follows:
1 Start up and select to enter the Ubuntu system (see the following figure):

Troubleshooting
Before test flight, please read the “Operation Instruction” first. If normal take-off fails, please perform troubleshooting
according to the table below. If the problem still exists, please contact us immediately. To avoid unnecessary loss,
please do not operate blindly!
Symptom Solution
Self-checking of the UAV fails after it is powered up (the
buzzer beeps all the time)
Speeds of the four motors are obviously inconsistent
with each other after startup (some run fast, while some
run slowly)
The UAV cannot be started after successful
self-checking
The state of navigation lights is abnormal; the normal
state is green in the front and red in the rear
The remote control and the ground station shows
abnormality of flight attitude and compass (e.g., 360°
rotation)
The UAV fails to execute auto take-off and one-key
auto fly
The UAV cannot be controlled manually when it goes
home or lands upon low battery
The UAV inclines or rotates during one-key auto fly Power off the UAV and then power it on again
Normal take-off fails when the throttle lever is pushed
forward after the UAV is started
(1) Check if the removable arms are properly installed
(1) Make sure the UAV is placed on a flat ground before
self-checking
(2) Calibrate the UAV
Check the manual/auto switches of the remote control
and the ground station to make sure that they are in the
manual state
Confirm whether the frame arms are properly installed
(frame arm A1 shall correspond to body A1, and so on
and so forth)
Calibrate the compass, accelerometer and gyroscope
according to the instruction manual
Confirm whether the manual/auto switch of the remote
control or ground station is in auto state
Make sure that the manual/auto switch is switched 2-4
times when the throttle joystick is at the middle position.
(1) Check the four propellers of the UAV to see if they
are installed properly as required in the Instruction
Manual
(2) Check the power battery of the UAV to make sure the
battery level is high enough.
Protection Mechanism
1. During flying in the manual mode, when it is beyond the operating range, the UAV will enter the protection mode,
and automatically fly back to the take-off position and land.
2. During flying in the manual/auto mode, when the remote control or the ground station is powered off, the UAV
will enter the protection mode, and automatically fly back to the take-off position and land.
3. In case of Level 2 alarm for low battery, the UAV will enter the protection mode; at this moment, the UAV will
vertically descend to the ground (in case of an emergency, in the auto fly mode, you can switch to the manual
mode to control landing manually; in the manual fly mode, switch to the auto mode and then to the manual mode
to realize manual control of landing).
