1. DISCLAIMER
1、Check the appearance of the prod-
uct
·Check the canopy to make sure there is no
damage caused by transportation or movement.
·Check whether the canopy is well sealed to
ensure that it will work normally in a dusty or
humid environment.
·Check the flatness of the charging board and
the cleanliness of the position bar to ensure that
charging can be carried out normally.
Note：If you find any problems, please contact
the official support service of Autel Robotics at
[phone].
2、Pedestal installation
1.The charging pedestal has 4 arm fixing clips.
The two shorter fixing clips are marked with E,
and the higher fixing clip is marked with F. The E
fixing clip is used to fix the rear arm, and the F
fixing clip is used to fix the front arm.
2.After fixing the arm, install the battery to the
drone, and connect the cable under the battery
to the pedestal.
EVO NEST is an automatic drone charging
station that enables industrial drones to land,
takeoff, and carry out consecutive missions with
no human intervention. Equipped with a retract-
able canopy, a glass-fiber charging board, and a
built-in air conditioning system, the NEST has
everything it needs to keep itself and its aircrafts
in great working condition, no matter the weath-
er. Using exclusive software, operators can also
plan flight tasks from the comfort of their home
office, reducing labor costs while enhancing
efficiency.

3、Site selection
1.Please choose an open area, such as empty
ground, roof, etc.
2.Please choose a place with good GPS signal
(at least 10 bars) and weak electromagnetic
interference. You can use the drone to test the
GPS signal and electromagnetic environment
before selecting the site.
4、Product connection
1.Plug in the power cable, and then connect the
network cable to the RJ45 port.
2.Press the power button on the EVO NEST to
turn it on.
Note：
· Please remove the side cover with a hex wrench
before connecting to the USB or HDMI interface.
·When the EVO NEST is energized, do not lean or
press on the canopy, otherwise the position of the
motor sensor will be changed and the rain cover
will not be closed tightly.
·As the canopy is not pressure resistant, if the
position of the cover changes, please call Autel
Robotics’ support team for technical assistance.
Do not make any changes without direction from a
representative of Autel Robotics.
·For your safety, please use a three-phase power
plug.
5、Pre-flight Confirmation
1. Make sure that the drone is placed in the center
of the charging board.
2. Check carefully whether the connection of the
power supply and the network is correct.
3. Confirm that no one is 2 meters near EVO
NEST.

1、How to ensure precise landing
（1）Before flying the drone, please make sure
that the GPS signal is not less than 15 bars.
（2）If the GPS signal does not meet the require-
ments, please find an open space to place the
EVO NEST, and then test at least 10 flights,
landing drones after marking the take-off point to
ensure that the average moving distance between
the landing point and the take-off point is within 10
cm.
2、How to ensure a smooth control
experience
To get a smooth real-time monitoring experience,
you need to ensure a relatively high and stable
network speed and avoid delays caused by
multiple users accessing the same network.
3、Check the canopy after each flight
If the canopy fails to close automatically after the
flight, please call Autel Robotics’ support team.
You can also log in to the software to close the
canopy.
Note：If you encounter rain while the cover is not
closed, please unplug the power cord and internet
cable immediately. Dry the interface and the
drone, and do not fly again until both the interface
and drone are completely dry.
6. CAUTIONS
1、Power interface
Please check the interface of the power cable
regularly to avoid damage and prevent water
leakage. If the above situation occurs, please call
Autel Robotics’ support team.
2、Charging board
The screw rod needs to be cleaned with lubricat-
ing paste every two months to prevent rust.
3、Air conditioning
Please check the air conditioner every three
months to make sure it is operating properly. After
severe weather, special inspections need to be
carried out in time.
4、Pedestal
If you need to replace the pedestal, please use the
pedestal provided by Autel Robotics.
5、Control module
If you need a charging control module or a position
bar control module, please use the replacement
module provided by Autel Robotics.
