Drone

Flight Mode

GPS Mode

To achieve precise hovering, the drone is equipped wi th a GPS module.
The intelligent f light function works in GPS mode. Users c an enable Spor t
Mode or Beginner Mode in the flight settings. When the Beginner Mode is
on, the flight speed, flight distance, flight altitude and RTH altitude will be
limited. In spor t mode, the maximum flight speed is 18m/s(65 km/ h), the
maxim um ascending spe ed is 5m/s(18 km/h), and the m aximum desce nding
speed is 4 m/s(14 km/h).

VPU Mode

An Opti cal Flow module i s also built into the d rone for precise hovering and
landing at the home point. In VPU mode, the Intelligent flight function is
not supported. The maximum flight speed is 10m/s(36 km/h), the maximum
ascend speed is 3m/s(11 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is
2m/s (7 km/h). When the drone is flying above a well-lit ground with a clear
texture and the GPS signal is poor, it will switch automatically to VPU mode.

ATTI Mode

When the GPS signal is poor or the compass has interference, the drone
enters in ATTI mode. In this mode, the drone c an start drif ting horizontally
and intell igent flight m ode is not suppo rted. Therefo re, in case of any acci dents,
we recommend fl ying in an open area w ith good GPS sig nal reception. O nce
the drone e nters in ATTI mode, pl ease land in a safe plac e as soon as possib le.

Sport M ode will not be avai lable when the dron e is over 2400 meters a bove sea level.

Failsafe Return

Failsafe return is only supported in G PS mode. When the drone and remote
controller signal is interrupted for more than 2 seconds, the flight control
system built into the drone will take over the c ontrol of your drone, plan the
return path acco rding to the original flight path, then the drone will fly bac k
and land at the home point. This function wor ks precisely if there are enough
GPS satellites are lo cked, the compass has no inter ference and the home poi nt
has been re corded correctly. If the w ireless signal reconnects during the failsafe
return, the pilot c an turn off App return hint or toggle Auto Return switch to the
left again to cancel, and the drone will hover at the current posit ion.

Low-power Protection

In flight, when t he battery level is only enough for RTH, App ad vises users
to return, an d the drone will return automatically afte r 10 seconds countdown.
When the batter y level is only enough for landing, App advises users to lan d
as soon as possible, and the drone will land automatically after 10 seconds
countdown. When the bat tery level is at 10% usage left, the drone will be
forced to land.

than or equal to 3 meters, the drone will directly return to the home point.
When the return distance of the drone is greater than or equal to 10 meters
and the flight altitude is less than 30 meters, the drone will asc end to 30

• After the flight, the battery temperature is high, so wait for the battery to drop to room

temperature or wait for the battery to stand still for 30 minutes before charging.

• The optimal charging temperature range of the smart battery is 25±3℃, and charging

within this temperature range can prolong the battery life.

• Recharge and discharge every 3 months or so to ensure battery activity.

• The smart battery must be charged with the official Femto charger.FIMI will not take any

responsibility for all consequences.

For safety reasons, smart batteries need to be kept low (such as below 50%) during
