Takeoff/Landing

1. Takeoff/Landing Button: Press and hold the button for 3 seconds, the aircraft will take off vertically

from the current position to 1m and keep hovering. Press the button again, the aircraft will return

to the ground from the current altitude and the motors will then shut down;

2. Manual Landing (Continuously pull the throttle to the lowest position for 3 seconds at an altitude of 1 meter, the aircraft will return to the ground automatically and the motors will shut down).

Calibrating the RC Compass

After the aircraft is turned on, press and hold the Shutter Button for 3 seconds. The aircraft enters into the Compass Calibration Mode when the status indicator goes solid red. The user can now calibrate the compass as stipulated.

Auto Return Button

Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the buzzer gives sound alarming. The Auto Return feature is now activated and will bring the aircraft to the latest recorded Home Point. The user can control the position of the aircraft with the RC during this period. Press the button again to end this procedure. The aircraft will keep hovering until the RC regains control over it.

FCC Statement：

15.21 Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Shen Zhen Feima Robotics Co.,Ltd may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

15.105 NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmf interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. This model (FCC ID: 2AK7UFM4000) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for properly worn on the body is

0.799 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the EUT kept 0mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 0mm separation distance between the user's

body and the back of the EUT. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

WARNING: Failure to charge or store the battery properly can result in fire, property damage or

serious injuries. Make sure to use the battery in compliance with the following safety

1. Do not disassemble the battery by yourself. Removing the built-in battery is not allowed. Please replace the battery at after-sales service offices.

2. The ambient temperature for battery should be 10-40°C. If the temperature is too high (higher than 60°C), the battery may catch fire and even explode. If the ambient temperature is too low (lower than 10°C), the battery life may be shortened.

3. Do not disassemble the battery in any way, or it may catch fire and even explode.

4. Battery electrolyte is highly corrosive. Keep away if there is a leak. If any electrolyte contacts your skin or eyes, immediately wash affected areas with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor immediately.

5. If there is a fire caused by improper use of the battery, we recommend you use solid fire extinguisher in the following order: Water or mist water, sand, fire extinguisher blanket, powder and Co2 extinguishers.

6. Do not put the battery in a microwave oven or pressure cooker.

7. Do not put battery cells on any conductive surfaces.

8. Do not use wires or any other metal objects to short-circuit the positive and negative poles of the battery.

9. Do not strike the battery. Do not place anything heavy on the battery or the charger.

10. Do not t hrow th e batte ry into t he fire o r place t he unus ed batt ery near h eat sou rces. Othe rwise , the i nsula tion p rotec tion l ayer i n the b atter y will be melt ed and the sa fety v alve a nd othe r struc tures w ill be de stroy ed.

11. Always use batteries recommended by Feima. Feima is not responsible for any battery-related accidents or flight failures caused by using non-Feima batteries.

Charging

1. The charger is only applicable for specified product in accordance with certain instructions.

2. Always use Feima approved charger. Feima is not responsible for any consequences caused by

using non-Feima chargers.

3. When charging, put the RC and the charger on cement floor or other grounds where there is no flammable objects. Take care and avoid any accidents.

4. Do not charge the battery when the ambient temperature is too high (≥45°C) or too low (≤0°C) The ideal ambient temperature for charging (10-40°C) can greatly extend battery life.

5. Do not continue to charge the battery if it is not fully charged within the set time, or it may cause overheat, fire or explosion.

Battery Safety Guidelines

Storage and Transportation

1. Keep the battery out of the reach of children. If the child swallows the components, seek emergency medical assistance without any delay.

2. Do not leave the RC near heat sources such as in direct sunlight, in a furnace, heater or inside the car in hot days. The ideal storage temperature is 22-28°C.

3. Keep the battery dry. Do not place the battery in water or where it may leak.

4. Do not strike, crush or impale the battery. Do not drop the battery or manually short-circuit the battery.

5. Do not storage or transport the battery together with glasses, watches, jewelry, hairpins and other

metal objects.

6. Do not transport damaged batteries. Discharge the battery to lower than 30% for air transportation.

7. Never put the battery in ESD protected areas beyond those defined by the manufacturer, or it may

damage the battery protection mechanism and result in overheat, explosion or fire.

8. All the batteries are up to certain specification during manufacturing and checking before delivery. Return the battery to where it was purchased if you find anything abnormal regarding its smell,

Disposal

Dispose of end-of life batteries into specific recycling boxes only after they are fully discharged. Do not simply dispose of batteries into regular garbage bins. The disposal and recycling of batteries is subject to detailed local rules and regulations.

Maintenance

1. Never use the charger when the ambient temperature is too high or too low.

2. Never storage the battery where the temperature is higher than 60°C.

3. Fully charge the battery and keep it at appropriate temperatures before flying at low temperatures (-

10~5°C), or the battery capacity will be significantly reduced which may lead to much shorter flight time.

4. Never use the battery in environments with a temperature lower than 10°C.

5. When flying at low temperatures (-10~5°C), preheat the RC to higher than 5°C (higher than 20°C will

be better) before using.

Storage and Transportation

1. Discharge the battery to 60-75% if it will not be used for 10 days or more. This can extend the battery life. Discharge fully charged batteries with the RC.

2. Do not store the battery for a long time after fully discharging it, for example, when the RC battery runs out. Otherwise, you may risk over-discharging the battery which may lead to irreparable damage to the battery cells.

3. Recharge the battery to 60-70% every 2 months, and make adjustments based on the actual storage conditions and power consumption of the system.

4. The battery will enter hibernation mode if it has been depleted and idled a long period. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.

5. Remove the battery from the aircraft for long-term storage.

Maintenance

1. Never overcharge the battery or it will do harm to the battery cells.

2. Keeping the battery idle for a long time will affect its performance.

It is recommended that the battery should be recharged and discharged at least once every 3 months to maintain battery health and extend the battery life.
