GHOST Drone when in Landing mode.
Only use Follow-Me in an open area, as the GHOST Drone does not currently have
obstacle avoidance capabilities. If the user is changing elevation while travelling, the user
must manually adjust the GHOST Drone elevation, as the GHOST cannot dynamically
change elevation while in Follow-Me mode.
To use Follow-Me, GPS on the mobile device running the GHOST App must be enabled.
Only enable Follow-Me when the distance between the operator and the GHOST Drone is
more than 3m (10 ft.). When the user is travelling, it is advised that the user not stop
suddenly, as the GHOST Drone cannot come to a sudden stop. When coming to a stop,
stop slowly. If the user clicks another button in the GHOST App while in Follow-Me mode,
Follow-Me will disengage. Ehang recommends setting the Ghost Drone’s height to be well
above the user so as to avoid any collisions or possible damage while using Follow-Me.

FAQ
Does GPS or WiFi have to be on to show my location?
The GHOST Drone does not have a standalone GPS capability, the GHOST App shows your
location as well that of the GHOST Drone. No map will be displayed if the GHOST App does not
have network connectivity. GPS must be enabled on your mobile device to operate the GHOST
Drone.
Why am I having trouble binding?
If the GHOST Drone and GHOST App are not pairing, open the App and turn on the G-BOX. Click
Settings—Other Settings—Bind. The binding process should complete in under two seconds. Try
to bind again if binding does not succeed within five seconds.
Why does the GHOST App say “unlock failed”?
Check to make sure that the GHOST Drone has sufficient battery, and that it has acquired at least
six satellites. If all readings are nominal, please disconnect and re-connect the GHOST Drone
