1.2 Charging
Battery type: LiPo
Charging: The indicators of 1S, 2S and 3S are the number of batteries
being charged; 1A, 2A and 3A are the current. The higher the value is,
the faster the battery will be fully charged.
State: When the red indicator is on, the battery is being charged.
When the green indicator is on, the battery is fully charged.
1.1 About the Battery
It is a charge-discharge, lithium polymer battery specially designed for
GHOST products, with a capacity of 5400mAh, cell voltage of 11.1v and an
XT60 connector. The battery must be charged with the original charger
provided by EHANG.
Battery Charger
Please make sure the following devices are fully charged before using
GHOST.

Preparation
Battery G-Box
1.4 Attention Needed
1 ) Please examine if there is any tear, damage or deformation on the battery;
2) Battery temperature is high immediately after use. Don’t start charging until
the battery cools down to room temperature;
3) Do not leave the battery charged unattended. If abnormal charging situa-
tion occurs, please stop charging the battery at once; if you cannot attend
the battery, remove the battery from the charger in case of unpredictable
danger;
4) Do not place or charge the battery in the sun. Temperature higher than
35ď might damage the battery or affect its performance;
5) Store the battery out of children’s reach. Please keep the battery away
from source of water and fire;
6) Avoid storing fully charged battery. It is suggested to use the battery within
24 hours after it is fully charged; if you determine not to use the battery for a
long period of time, keep its electric voltage between 11.4V and 11.6V
(single cell between 3.8V and 3.85V) ;
7) Do not apply external force on the battery; do not drop the battery from
high places;
do not disassemble or modify the battery;
8) Please replace the battery with new one if it bulges;
9) Please do not charge the battery for over three hours.
1.3 Put in the Battery
Put GHOST on level ground and connect it to battery cable. When the flicker
frequency is lowered (5 seconds per flicker), push the battery into the com-
partment in the right direction and make sure the battery is tightly stuck.
Close the cover and keep a safe distance (5 meters). Connect your smart-
phone to G-Box through Bluetooth, which makes it easier to unlock the
smartphone APP and avoids unlock failure.
If the battery is not tightly
stuck, there will be poor
contact with power source
or failure to obtain battery
information, which may
affect flight safety or cause
unsuccessful take-off.

At minimum 3m (up to smartphone GPS accuracy) horizontal distance
from the user (smartphone and G-Box), GHOST begins to follow the user
automatically. The farther apart GHOST is from the user, the faster GHOST
flies (maximum speed: 49mph).
To stop, user should lower his/her pace gradually. Do not stop immediately
(or GHOST will fly over the user at high speed as it has no brakes).
To terminate auto following, tap any available button on screen.
Investigate surroundings before using auto following (GHOST cannot
automatically dodge).
While climbing, adjust GHOST’s height accordingly (GHOST cannot auto-
matically adjust height). It is recommended to fly GHOST at a height higher
than the user.
Two situations of return: GHOST’s height is over 15m; GHOST’s height is less than
15m.

Flight
After installation is completed, choose a proper environment for
flight based on the following standards.
1.Flight Environment
1.1 GHOST might experience errors due to poor signal when flying too high or
in an environment with dense buildings. It is suggested that you choose
an open area to fly GHOST to reduce drifting mistake.
1.2 Please stay away from barriers, crowds, high-tension lines, trees and
water.
1.3 Do not fly GHOST in restricted airspace as stipulated by laws and
regulations.
1.4 Please stay over 200m away from complex electromagnetic environment
(such as a place with a signal tower or base station) in case of takeoff
failure or crash due to intense electromagnetic interference (EMI).
1.5 Do not fly GHOST in extreme weather including high temperature, snow,
strong wind (over scale 5) and heavy fog.
2.Pre-flight Examination
2.1 Check whether G-Box and battery are fully charged.
2.2 Check whether propellers are installed correctly.
2.3 Check whether motor starts normally after unlocking.
Please contact EHANG dealers or customer service in case of any trouble
during installation or use.
3.Flight Safety
3.1 Make sure that there is a minimal of 5m distance between you and
GHOST. Please stay away from dangerous obstacles such as barriers,
crowds and high-tension lines. Please be a responsible flyer.
3.2 During the flight, keep GHOST within your sight to avoid accidents caused
by oversight of surroundings.
3.3 Children must be accompanied by professionals when operating GHOST.
3.4 GHOST aerial must operate without prop guards and equipped with
landing gear; put GHOST upside down on a cotton cloth to avoid
scratching.
28
Flight
4.Caution during Flight
4.1 Limit the distance between G-Box and the smartphone to 5m or less
(holding in hand is recommended). Communication will lose beyond the
limited distance.
4.2 Ascend/Descend is only accessible in hovering status. During flight, the
Ascend/Descend signal is hidden on the right side of APP interface.
Height control is only accessible in hovering status. During flight, the height
control bar is hidden on right side of the APP interface.
4.3 It is normal for the battery level to rise again after landing. It is not advisable
to launch your GHOST when battery level is less than 30%. It is best to fly
GHOST with a fully charged battery.
4.4 Please tap “HOVER” immediately in times of emergency. If GHOST fails to
hover, please ensure your own safety before attending to GHOST.
5.After-sales
5.1 GHOST products are guaranteed by after-sales service (please see
details on after-sales card).
