Individual Parts

Regarding Genuine and Functional Parts

To avoid component malfunction, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following rules:

1.Use only genuine DJI parts or parts certified by DJI. Unauthorized parts or parts from non-DJI certified manufacturers may cause system malfunctions and compromise safety.

2.Make sure there are no foreign objects inside of the product or its components, such as oil, sand, or water.

3.Make sure the robot and its components are all in good working order, damage-free, and functioning properly. Components include, but are not limited to, the intelligent controller, chassis, and Intelligent Battery.

4.DO NOT disassemble the parts that have been installed before delivery. Unauthorized disassembly may cause malfunctions and affect the functionality and safety of the product.

5.Follow the assembly instructions for cable connection and wiring to avoid cable damage. DO NOT forcibly pull the cables when plugging and unplugging them. Otherwise, the cable connectors may be damaged.

Mecanum Wheels

To avoid component malfunction, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following rules:

1.If the Mecanum wheels or chassis are moving at a high speed, they could potentially cause injury or property damage. Make sure to pay attention when the robot is moving at a high speed.

2.Select a wide space when controlling the robot to move at a high speed. Avoid crashing into any hard objects or walls at a high speed.

3.DO NOT use excessive force when tightening the screws during assembly and disassembly.

The thread-locking fluid on the screws is intended for onetime use. For repeated assembly and disassembly, thread-locking fluid is required.

4.It is recommended to use the robot on flat surfaces such as wooden floors, cement, or carpets. Uneven surfaces such as sand may damage the Mecanum wheels or motors. DO NOT use the robot on wet ground or outdoors in rainy or snowy environments.

1.Make sure the motion controller is properly installed before use and the screws on the chassis rear cover are tightened. Otherwise, the motion controller may become loose, which may affect the movement of the robot.

Servo

1.When in use, DO NOT touch the servo to avoid injury.

2.DO NOT hit the servo or the connected parts. Otherwise, it may reduce the service life of the servo or even lead to permanent damage.

3.When the servo overload warning prompts appear in the app multiple times, stop the operation immediately and check the operation and the structure of the robotic arm or servo.

Robotic Arm

1.DO NOT touch the Robotic Arm while it is in use. Otherwise, users may injure their fingers. DO NOT use the Robotic Arm to lift or move the robot.

2.DO NOT hit or suddenly pull the Robotic Arm. Otherwise, the Robotic Arm will impact and damage the servo.

3.Clean foreign objects like droplets in a timely manner. Otherwise, the surface of the structure may corrode.

Intelligent Battery

To avoid fire, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following safety guidelines when using, charging, or disposing of a battery.

Battery Use

1.DO NOT allow the batteries to come into contact with any kind of liquid. DO NOT leave the batteries out in the rain or near a source of moisture. DO NOT drop the battery into water. If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur, potentially resulting in the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion.

2.If the battery falls into water, put it in a safe and open area or explosion-proof container immediately.

Make sure to keep it away from flammable materials. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry. DO NOT use the battery again, and dispose of the battery properly as described in the related section below.

3.Put out battery fires using water, sand, fire blankets, or dry powder fire extinguishers.

4.DO NOT use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.dji.com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no responsibility for any damage caused by non-DJI batteries.

5.DO NOT use or charge, leaky, or damaged batteries. If your batteries are abnormal, for example by emitting odor, having a temperature exceeding 75° C (167° F), or appearing misshapen or discolored, contact DJI or a DJI authorized dealer for further assistance.

6.The battery should be used in temperatures from -10° to 40° C (14° to 104° F). Use of the battery in environments above 50° C (122° F) can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of the battery below -10° C (14°

F) can lead to permanent damage.

7.DO NOT use the battery in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, the battery’s protective board will malfunction.

8.DO NOT disassemble or pierce the battery in any way. Otherwise, electrolyte leakage can lead to a fire or explosion.

9.DO NOT drop or strike the batteries. DO NOT place heavy objects on the batteries or charger. DO NOT use the battery if it is dropped or receives a heavy impact.

10.Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a doctor immediately.

11.DO NOT heat the battery.

12.DO NOT put the loose cells in a pocket, bag, or drawer where they may short-circuit against other items or where the battery terminals could be pressed against each other. DO NOT manually shortcircuit the battery.

13.Clean battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Dirty terminals may cause poor contact, leading to energy loss or charging failure.

Battery Charging

1.Only use a DJI approved charger. DJI takes no responsibility if the battery is charged using a non-DJI charger.

2.DO NOT leave the battery unattended during charging. DO NOT charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood.

3.DO NOT charge the battery immediately after use. Wait until it cools down to near room temperature. Charging the battery outside of the temperature range of 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F) may lead to leakage, overheating, or battery damage.

4.Disconnect the charger when not in use. Examine the charger regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure, or other parts. DO NOT clean the charger with denatured alcohol or other flammable solvents. DO NOT use a damaged charger.

Battery Storage, Transportation and Disposal

1.Dispose of the battery in specific recycling boxes only after a complete discharge. DO NOT place the battery in regular trash containers. Strictly follow your local regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of batteries.

Use

1.Charge the battery to bring it out of hibernation before using for the first time.

2.Make sure the batteries are fully charged before using.

Charging

1.Make sure to turn off the battery before charging to avoid power port damage. Make sure the battery level is 95% or lower before charging. If the battery level is higher than 95%, discharge the battery until the battery level is 95% or lower. Otherwise, the battery will not charge.

2.The battery is designed to stop charging when it is fully charged. However, it is good practice to monitor the charging progress and disconnect the battery when fully charged.

Disposal

1.If the battery is disabled and the battery cannot be fully discharged, contact a professional battery disposal or recycling agent for further assistance.

2.If the battery cannot be powered on after over-discharging, dispose of the battery.

To avoid component malfunction, serious injury, and property damage, observe the following rules:

1.Make sure that the motors are securely mounted and rotating smoothly before powering on.

2.DO NOT attempt to modify the structure of the motors.

3.DO NOT touch or let your hands come into contact with the motors, motor mounting plates, or inside of the Mecanum wheel immediately after powering off the robot.

1.Make sure there are no foreign objects inside of the motors.

2.Make sure the connections between all the motors and the motion controller are stable.

3.If the motor cannot rotate freely, immediately power it off and check.

Armor

1.Make sure that all the armor is securely mounted, all cables are firmly connected to the motion controller, and that they are functioning properly.

Camera

1.DO NOT expose the camera to liquids or immerse in water.

2.DO NOT store the camera in a humid place.

3.DO NOT touch the lens.

4.Clean the lens regularly to avoid blurring or halos. Use a special lens cleaner to make sure that there is no foreign matter on the lens after cleaning and that it does not damage the lens.
