The magnetic compass is easily disturbed by other electronic devices, which affects flight and even causes flight accidents. Regular calibration can make the aircraft work in the best condition. Figure 3-14 Warning  Do not calibrate in areas with strong magnetic fields, such as magnetic mines, parking lots, and construction areas with underground reinforcement.  Do not carry ferromagnetic materials, such as mobile phones.
24  Do not calibrate near bulk metal.  Do not calibrate the compass indoors. Calibration procedure: Figure 3-15 Caution Please vacate the venue and follow the steps below to calibrate the compass. It is recommended that the calibration be performed with no liquid in the pesticide tank. 1. Click Compass Calibration on the Magnetic Compass Calibration page in the APP, then enter calibration mode. 2. Rotate the aircraft 360° horizontally. When the status indicator of the aircraft is steady green, horizontal calibration is successful. 3. With the nose of the aircraft facing upwards, rotate 360° horizontally. When the red, yellow, and green indicators flash alternately, the vertical calibration is successful. 4. Complete the calibration. If the aircraft status indicator flashes alternately red, yellow and green, it means that the calibration was successful and you need to power on again. If the status indicator of the aircraft shows a steady red light, it means that the calibration failed. Please power off and restart, and follow the above steps to recalibrate the compass. Need to recalibrate: 1. The magnetic compass is abnormal, and the aircraft status indicator shows that the yellow light flashes rapidly or the red light flashes rapidly. 2. The site of this flight is far away from the site where the magnetic compass was calibrated last time. 3. The mechanical structure of the aircraft has changed. 4.

Figure 3-21 Danger Do not perform the above operation during the flight, otherwise the motor will stop immediately and cause irreversible consequences. Automatic locking： 1. In any flight mode, after the aircraft is unlocked, the aircraft does not take off, the throttle is the lowest, and the motor will automatically lock in 3 seconds without any operation; 2. In addition to the attitude mode, all other flight modes have the function of automatic landing recognition and will automatically stop the rotation; 3. In addition to the attitude mode, the lowest throttle of the aircraft during flight will not cause the motor to stop. 3.1.10 Motor Test The motor test function includes the motor sequence test and the movement direction test. It is mainly used to detect whether the motor installation serial number and rotation direction are correct, so as to avoid accidents due to installation errors. Motor sequential test： When it is locked, please push the left joystick of the remote control to the lower left↙, and then make the right joystick do counterclockwise coiling (U.S. hand mode)↗↖↙↘, then the motor sequential test will be triggered, and the motor will rotate at a low speed according to 1 to 4 Order. Japanese hand mode, motor test method: 1. Put the left rocker to the bottom left↙, and turn the right rocker to the bottom right ↘and keep the position of the rocker; 2. Then put the left rocker to the top left↖, and put the right rocker to the bottom left↙, then put the left rocker to the bottom left↙, the right rocker dial to the bottom right↘. During the operation to the joystick, the left joystick is left on the left and the right joystick is kept on the bottom. Repeat step 2 in order to trigger the motor sequence detection. Uniform
28 Caution Normally only one rocker operation is required to trigger the motor sequence detection. If the rocker position is operated incorrectly, you need to repeat step 2 to trigger the detection. Direction test： After unlocking, the aircraft propellers rotate at a low and constant speed (if there is no operation, the power output will be turned off within 3 seconds). Operate the four channels of the remote controller to determine whether the forward whether the rotation direction is correct. For example, when the propeller is rotated at the lowest speed, Push up the "forward rocker", and the two propellers on the back side of the aircraft will rotate, and the propellers on the front side will stop. In the same way, when the roll rocker is pushed to the left, the propellers on the left side will stop and the propellers on the right side will rotate. 3.2 Charge Note If the remaining power is sufficient, you do not need to perform the following sections. 3.2.1 Charge the Aircraft Battery The connection of the smart battery and charger is shown below.

The AB point cannot be re-recorded without clearing the last recorded AB point.  Continue spraying after power off: After the AB operation is interrupted, and the battery is replaced, if the AB operation is performed without clearing the AB point, the last AB route of the previous job will be resumed. 4.3.4 Electric fence system 4.3.4.1 Flying restrictions and Special airspace restrictions
44 In accordance with administrative regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and national air traffic restrictions and UAV, the UAV must fly in the specified airspace. For flight safety consideration, also to help users to use this product more safely and legitimately, the flight limitation is working by default, including height and distance restriction and no fly zone. In the positioning mode (with GPS), altitude and distance constraints jointly affect flight. In attitude mode, it is limited by height, and the maximum height of actual flight will not exceed 20 m. 4.3.4.2 Height and distance restrictions Height restrictions Used to limit the flight altitude of UAV, distance restrictions Used to limit Maximum flying radius. User can modify parameter by configuration software. After the configuration is completed, flying ranges is restricted a in cylindrical region, as shown below: Figure 4-24 Attitude mode Flight restrictions The maximum height Cannot exceed the setting in the software The maximum radius Cannot exceed the setting in the software Positioning mode (GPS) Flight restrictions The maximum height Cannot exceed the setting in the software The maximum radius Cannot exceed the setting in the software Warning The remote is also working when the aircraft is out of bounds on account of inertia, but you can't control the flight away from Restricted Area. If UAV located out of maximum radius areas, the flying attitude should switch from attitude mode to location mode (with GPS module), UAV return to a restricted area. 4.3.4.3 Special area flight restrictions Special areas are divided into: 1. Airports: Class A and Class B restrictions. For example, international large airports are Class A restricted flight areas, while Class B areas are smaller airports. 2. Special no-fly zones: Beijing and major cities in Xinjiang.Level A airport restricted area.  Level A airport restricted area
45 Includes: prohibited area and height restricted area. Prohibited area deny flight. restricted area limit flight height. Specific Sites as the center of a circle, the radius of 8 KM area is restricted area, the radius of 2.4 KM area is prohibited area. prohibited area deny flight. Aircraft is located in restricted area and out of prohibited area, flight height will be limited. Height decreases with distance from prohibited area at a rate, range from120m to 10.5m. 100m alert zones is set between restricted area and Unrestricted airspace, more information reference below picture. Figure 4-25  Level B airport restricted area Specific Sites as the center of a circle, the radius of 1 KM area is prohibited area. Prohibited area deny flight. 100m Alert zones is set between restricted area and Unrestricted airspace. Details reference below picture. Figure 4-26 Positioning mode (GPS) area Flight restrictions Flight status indicator No-fly zone Motor will not start. The red light flashes for 3 seconds before the normal flash. If you switch from attitude mode to GPS mode, the aircraft will automatically land. Height limited area If you switch from attitude mode to GPS mode,The aircraft will automatically land at 5m and hover. The yellow light flashes for 3 seconds before the normal flash. Warning area The aircraft can fly normally and issue a warning message. Free area No flight restrictions. No restriction indicator flashes.
