WARNING!
DISCLAIMER & WARNING
The GHOST Drone is equipped with a “black box” that records flight data. (Please Note:
This data is only accessible by the staff in our service department). If the user fails to land
when the battery is depleted and causes damage to the GHOST Drone, the user is
responsible for the cost of any repairs that might be necessary.
Disassembling and/or modifying the GHOST Drone is prohibited. If the user requires
custom modifications, please contact the GHOST team before attempting to modify the
GHOST.
When storing the GHOST Drone, remove the battery. Store all GHOST-related parts at
room-temperature, out of direct sunlight, and away from magnetic interference and
moisture. Pay special attention to the storage of the Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery.
The GHOST Drone may not fly normally near high-rise buildings due to GPS interfer-
ence.Please fly in open spaces, away from densely populated urban areas, to minimize
GPS interference and maintain safe flight.
Do not fly near obstacles, people, crowds, power lines, trees, water, or anything else that
may cause interference with your GHOST Drone.
Do not fly in restricted air space.
Do not fly in or around congested electromagnetic (EM) environments. The GHOST Drone
must be kept at least 200m (656 ft.) away from strong EM sources to operate normally.
EM interference can cause a loss of communication with the GHOST Drone and result in
damage to the GHOST and/or objects and people in the flight environment.
Do not operate in bad weather, including extremely high temperatures, heavy snow, high
wind, or rain.
Before unlocking your GHOST, stand at least 5m (16 ft.) away from the Drone and ensure
that people or animals do not approach the GHOST.
When flying, the user must retain line-of-sight with the GHOST Drone. Losing sight of the
GHOST Drone can result in dangerous operating conditions.
Do not touch spinning propellers as they may cause injury. To ensure the best flying
experience, use only EHANG-supplied propellers.
Do not operate the GHOST with the propeller guards and landing gear both installed. For
users who purchased the GHOST Aerial or Aerial Plus, practice flying with the basic
configuration before you fly with a camera attached.
To ensure safe flying, calibrate the GHOST Drone’s compass with the GHOST App before
each flight.
Adult supervision is required when the GHOST Drone is operated by a minor.
01
Before flying, please consult flight documentation from the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regard-
ing unmanned aircraft operation. The user is responsible for his or her actions
and any ensuing consequences. Users are hereby advised that they are liable
for the use of the GHOST Drone and any and all liability is solely theirs. Please
fly responsibly.

(Battery charges faster with higher amperage.Please
note the suggested charge rate for the included 3S
5400mAh battery is 10 C.)

Use only the included GHOST battery charger.
Do not use the battery if the casing and included balancer is broken, deformed or inflated.
Always set the charge output volts to match battery volts.
Never allow battery temperature to exceed 140°F (60 °C)
Recharge your battery post-flight only after it has returned to room temperature.
Never leave a charging battery unattended, and do not place the battery or charger on anything
flammable. Do not store or charge the battery in direct sunlight.
Never disassemble the battery and do not modify the battery circuit. Never discharge below
3.2V per cell. Never puncture the battery assembly or individual cells.
Store the battery between 11.4V and 11.6V (3.8V – 3.85V per cell).
Do not store the GHOST Drone with the battery connected. This will drain the battery and
possibly damage it.
Keep the battery away from children, animals, water, and fire.
If your battery breaks or becomes unusable, it must be recycled by an authorized electronic
waste facility. Batteries and other electronic waste must be disposed of in a strict manner.
Consult your local waste disposal agency for guidelines on battery disposal.
Place the GHOST on a horizontal surface to connect the battery. Push the battery into
the battery compartment (inward as shown in the diagram below). Close the compartment
door, making sure that the battery is correctly seated inside the battery compartment. Do
NOT 'force' the door closed as this could damage the wires or the GHOST Drone itself.
If the door will not close easily, reposition the wires accordingly.
Before flight, ensure that the battery is correctly installed in the GHOST Drone. An
incorrectly installed battery may cause safety issues when flying, and may cause incorrect
voltage readings. An incorrectly installed battery may prevent take-off.
