3.3 Charging
Note
It doesn't need to implement the following chapter if the remaining power is enough.
3.3.1 Aircraft Battery Charging
The entire charging period (from 0 to 100) is about 2 hours. Charging period is related with
remaining power and charging current (power).
Figure 3-7
Step 1 Open the battery cover, unfasten the battery fixing band and take out battery.
Step 2 Connect charging adapter cable to the 6S balance port and charging power port of the
charger, and connect the charger to AC power.
Step 3 Insert the battery into the battery port of the charging adapter cable.
Step 4 Rotate the black button and select BLC.
Step 5 Press the button. The value displayed by LED nixie tube bounces and flashes. And
then, turn the button to adjust current which is recommended to be 15A. Press the
button again to select after adjustment is over.

Step 6 Short press the battery indicator light button once, and then long press it for 3 seconds,
turn on the electric quantity indicator light.
Step 7 Long press the button to start charging and wait for the charger prompt. It means
charging is completed when the charger beeps for 5 times and LED nixie tube
displays DONE.
Figure 3-8
Step 8 Disconnect it from the power socket, and then disconnect other cables after charging is
completed.
Note
Note: During charging of power battery, charging is completed when the charger
displays “FULL” and beeps. Don’t take down batteries before charging is completed.
3.3.2 Remote Control Charging
The entire charging period (from 0 to 100) needs approximately 3.5 hours.
Please charge the remote control when its power is off.
Step 1 Connect the remote control to power adapter with a charging cable.
Figure 3-9
Step 2 Connect power adapter to AC power (AC 100V-240V).
Step 3 Check charging status: it means the remote control is charging when the indicator light
is red and normally on. It means charging is done when the indicator light becomes
green and normally on, as shown in Figure 3-10.
Figure 3-10
Step 4 Disconnect it from the power socket, and then disconnect other cables after charging
is completed.
3.3.3 Ground Station Charging
The entire charging period (from 0 to 100) needs approximately 3.5 hours.

3.9.4 Initialization Failure
Abnormity Prompt
Both remote control and ground station prompt "Initialization Failure".
Possible Reasons
After power on and before taking off, it may result in initialization failure if you move the aircraft.
Solutions
Power on the aircraft again after the power is cut off, and keep the aircraft horizontal and static
during initialization. Please contact our company if initialization fails for several times.
3.9.5 Geomagnetic Abnormity
Abnormity Prompt
Aircraft indicator ●●● flashes.
Both remote control and ground station prompt "Geomagnetic Abnormity".
Possible Reasons
![](/img.php?id=4021984&img=bg42.png)
52
The use position has changed a lot, which means the geographical location is quite far
away from the last geographical location where the aircraft is used, causing big change to
geomagnetic field.
There is another intensive magnetic field in the environment, affecting geomagnetic field.
Solutions
Step 1 Select "Settings > General > Other > Geomagnetic Calibration" on the remote control
and enter the interface of geomagnetic calibration, as shown in Figure 3-31.
Figure 3-31

53
Figure 3-33
● It will prompt geomagnetic calibration success if it is successfully calibrated.
● It will prompt geomagnetic calibration failure if it fails to calibrate. Repeat Step 2, 3
and 4 to calibrate again.
3.9.6 GPS Satellites Insufficiency
Abnormity Prompt
Displayed number of satellites for remote control and ground station is less than 6.

4.4 Intelligent Protection Mechanism
4.4.1 Low Battery
There are totally three prompts of aircraft low battery for the remote control, and each prompt is
more serious than the previous one.
Level-one low battery, remote control prompts message: “Low Voltage Alarm”, along with
alarm sound.
Level-two low battery, remote control prompts message: “Serious low voltage home”, along
with alarm sound. First ascend to 120m, return to HOME point and then descend. At this
time, it is OK to suspend low voltage home (cancel button appears on App, or suspend it
by switching the mode of remote control).
Level-three low battery, remote control prompts message: “Serious low voltage landing”,
along with alarm sound. Meanwhile, the aircraft triggers landing mode.
Note
After suspending low voltage home, level-three low battery alarm will be triggered if it continues
to fly or fly in some harsh environment.
4.4.2 Out of Control
The aircraft may run into the following out of control situations:
The aircraft or remote control antenna is damaged, and it fails to receive and send
signals.
Intensive magnetic field arises in ambient environment, which interferes with the
aircraft and remote control.

● ALT (Limited altitude): limit the max. flight altitude of the aircraft, but there is no limit
to the flight distance.
● Circle: Take HOME point as circle center and the set value as radius. The aircraft is
restricted to fly within the circle, and there is no limit to the altitude.
● ALT+ Circle: Take HOME point as circle center and set value as radius. The set
height is considered as max. flight altitude, the aircraft is restricted to fly within the
cylindrical area.

Figure 4-24
Step 3 Set fence action.
Figure 4-25
● Notify only: It only prompts on preview interface, but it doesn’t trigger RTH.
● RTL: The aircraft will auto return after it exceeds the fence trigger distance.
Step 4 Set radius and altitude.
Step 5 Set trigger distance.
For example, when the fence type is set as radius + altitude, the radius is set as A
meters and altitude is set as B meters, and if the trigger distance is set as C meters,
then it will trigger RTH or landing when the aircraft is (A-C) meters away from the
HOME point horizontally or flight altitude exceeds (B-C) meters; the aircraft will
implement the action of RTH or landing.
