we recommend flying in an open area with good GPS signal reception. Once
the drone enters in ATTI mode, please land in a safe place as soon as possible.

Assembly and Disassembly • Before each flight, please make sure the electric motor is firmly installed, without other

objects in the electric motor and can rotate freely.

• Do not touch the electric motor directly with your hands immediately after the electric motor
Propellers stops rotating, as this may cause burns.
• Unfold the front and rear arms of the drone. • Do not block the electric motor ventilation slot.

• Attach the gray marked propellers to the motor mounting base with gray marks on the arms. • Make sure that the ESC beeps after the power is turned on.

• Rotate the propeller to the end of the lock direction until the propeller gets bounced and
locked. Intelligent Battery
• Press the propeller forcefully and rotate the propeller along the unlock direction to remove
the propeller.
• Push hard the battery, after the battery is installed in place, there will be a "click"
sound.

• To remove the battery, you need to press the battery buckle on both sides of the
battery to pull out the battery.

Take the installation of reverse propeller as an example.

• Please use the FIMI supplied propellers, do not mix different propeller models.

• Please check that the propeller is properly installed and tightened before each flight.

• If the propeller is broken, please replace it with a new one to ensure flight safety and efficiency.

• Do not get near the rotating propeller and electric motor to avoid cuts.

Precautions for Low-Temperature Use:

• When using the battery in a low-temperature environment (-5℃ to 15℃), ensure that the

battery is fully charged. The battery's discharge capability is reduced at low temperatures.

Before flying, hover the drone to warm up the battery.

• Flying with the battery in an environment below -5℃ is not permitted.

• If the APP indicates a low temperature, immediately return and stop the flight, allowing

the battery to warm up or reach full charge.

• The battery indicator will flash while charging is in progress.
• When the battery is fully charged, the battery indicator will turn off.
• It takes approximately 2 hours for the smart battery to fully charge.

22
 • After the flight, if the battery temperature is high, it is necessary to wait for the battery to

cool down to room temperature or remain idle for 30 minutes before charging

• The recommended charging temperature range for the smart battery is 25±3℃, as charging

within this range can extend the battery's life.

• Recharge and discharge the battery every 3 months to maintain battery activity.

• Use the official charger provided by FIMI for charging the smart battery. FIMI will not be held

responsible for any consequences resulting from the use of non-FIMI chargers.

• For safety reasons, during long-distance or prolonged transportation, it is advisable to keep

the smart battery at a low level, such as below 50%.

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

long-distance or long-term transportation

• Make sure to follow the firmware upgrade steps, otherwise, it may result in a failed upgrade.
• The entire upgrade process will take approximately 10 minutes.
• During the upgrade process, the drone may experience the following conditions: gimbal
power loss, abnormal flashing of status indicators, or self-restart of the drone. These
are all normal phenomena. Please wait patiently for the firmware upgrade to complete.
• Ensure that your personal computer has internet access throughout the entire upgrade
process.
• Make sure the drone has a battery level of at least 50% and the remote controller has a
battery level of at least 40% before upgrading.
