1.4 Attention Needed
1 ) Please examine if there is any tear, damage or deformation on the battery;
2) Battery temperature is high immediately after use. Don’t start charging until
the battery cools down to room temperature;
3) Do not leave the battery charged unattended. If abnormal charging situa-
tion occurs, please stop charging the battery at once; if you cannot attend
the battery, remove the battery from the charger in case of unpredictable
danger;
4) Do not place or charge the battery in the sun. Temperature higher than
35ďmight damage the battery or affect its performance;
5) Store the battery out of children’s reach. Please keep the battery away
from source of water and fire;
6) Avoid storing fully charged battery. It is suggested to use the battery within
24 hours after it is fully charged; if you determine not to use the battery for a
long period of time, keep its electric voltage between 11.4V and 11.6V
(single cell between 3.8V and 3.85V) ;
7) Do not apply external force on the battery; do not drop the battery from
high places;
do not disassemble or modify the battery;
8) Please replace the battery with new one if it bulges;
9) Please do not charge the battery for over three hours.
1.3 Put in the Battery
Put GHOST on level ground and connect it to battery cable. When the flicker
frequency is lowered (5 seconds per flicker), push the battery into the com-
partment in the right direction and make sure the battery is tightly stuck.
Close the cover and keep a safe distance (5 meters). Connect your smart-
phone to G-Box through Bluetooth, which makes it easier to unlock the
smartphone APP and avoids unlock failure.
If the battery is not tightly
stuck, there will be poor
contact with power source
or failure to obtain battery
information, which may
affect flight safety or cause
unsuccessful take-off.
