Before flying, please consult flight documentation from the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding unmanned
aircraft operation. The user is responsible for his or her actions and any ensuing con-
sequences. 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.
WARNINGS
1. If you are flying your GHOSTDRONE 2.0 for the first time, please fly it in an open area
in order to experience its various functions safely.
2. DO NOT fly in restricted air zones.
3. DO NOT fly near obstacles, people, power lines, trees, above waters or any other
environments which are not safe for flying.
4. The copter may not fly properly near tall buildings and metal structures due to GPS
interferences.
5. DO NOT fly in or around congested electromagnetic (EM) environments. The copter
must be kept at least 200 m (656 ft.) away from strong EM source to operate properly.
EM interference can cause a loss of communication with the copter and result in
damage to properties or hurting other people.
6. Do not fly the copter in adverse weather conditions, including extreme temperatures,
heavy snow, strong wind, storm or fog.
7. It is recommended to always retain line-of-sight with the copter during flight. Losing
sight of the copter may result in accidents.
8. GHOSTDRONE is not suitable for use by children under 14 years of age. Adult super-
vision is required if the copter is operated by children.
9. Please make sure your mobile device, VR goggles, and the copter have sufficient
battery before flying.
10. Stand clear of the copter (at least 5m or 16 ft.) with its head facing away from you
when ready to fly.
11.Compass must be re-calibrated if the icon in the App points at a significantly
different direction then the copter’s actual orientation. If the difference persists after
calibration, please choose a new environment for flying.
04
12. To avoid injury, DO NOT approach or touch the propellers or motors while they are
spinning.
13. Keep the VR goggles within 3 meters from you during flight. DO NOT put the VR
goggles on the floor or in the pocket. If the the VR goggles is not near you, you may lose
connection with the copter.
14. Please keep an eye on the copter’s battery shown on the App interface. We strongly
suggest to land the drone when the battery is low.
15. Please tap Hover button in case of any emergencies. The copter will stop moving
and hover at its current position. If it fails to hover, please secure your personal safety
first.
16. For your safety, Avatar Mode will be unlocked after you have flown in Touch-to-go
Mode for 3 times. It is important for you to familiarize yourself with the Avatar manual
mode to ensure flight safety. In Avatar manual mode, the copter flies only using
gyroscope and accelerometer, other sensors are not used in this mode. This mode is
safe but users need to control every movement of the copter. If you are flying Avatar
manual mode for the first time, to ensure precise manual operation, please fly the copter
in open area and only use this mode when the copter is 30 meters above the ground.

ASSEMBLY
Propellers
Legends
LOCK: Tighten the propeller in this direction.
UNLOCK: Remove the propeller in this direction.
GHOSTDRONE 2.0 uses 2-bladed 8.5-inch self-tightening propellers. Propeller nuts have two
colors, silver and black. Each indicates different rotating directions.

3. Attach the black nut propellers to the R motors in the same way.
Disassembling
Keep the motor deadlocked in place with one hand and remove the propeller according to the unlock
instructions.
1. Check that the propellers and motors are installed correctly and firmly before each flight.
2. It is necessary to check that all propellers are in good condition before take-off.
3. DO NOT use any aged, deformed or damaged propellers.
4. To avoid injury, DO NOT approach or touch the propellers or motors while they are spinning.
5. For a better flight experience, please use EHang proprietary propellers.
6.For a better and safer flight experience, please use original EHang propellers. EHang does
not offer warranty for propellers. If you need to replace your propellers, please go to our
website www.ehang.com
Warning
Installation
1. Put the copter upside down on soft surface to avoid scratches.
2. Match the silver nut propellers with the L motors (with silver motor shaft), and tighten the propellers
according to the LOCK instructions.
08
Installation: Place the guards over the copter. Use the screwdriver to tighten the 3 screws.
Disassemble: Unscrew the three holding screws and remove the guard.
Propeller Guards
Completed Assembly
Propeller guards must be installed when flying indoors. EHang will not be liable for any
accidents caused by not installing the propeller guards. However, guards are not recommend-
ed to be installed when flying in outdoor environments, the extra load and wind resistance of
installing the guards might have negative impact on flying experiences.

1. Only the EHang power adapter should be used to charge the battery.
2. DO NOT use batteries from other companies for the GHOSTDRONE. EHang is not responsi-
ble for any accidents caused by third party batteries.
3. DO NOT use used LiPo batteries. EHang is not responsible for any dangerous accidents
caused by used batteries.
4. DO NOT use the battery if it is inflated, damaged or deformed. DO NOT charge or discharge
the battery if it is inflated, damaged or deformed.
5. DO NOT plug or unplug the battery into the copter when it is powered on, otherwise the
battery will be damaged.
6. DO NOT overcharge the battery. DO NOT “trickle” charge the battery.
7. DO NOT leave the battery unattended when charging for a long time.
8. DO NOT charge or store the battery under direct sunlight. Please store batteries at room
temperature. DO NOT store batteries under high or low temperature condition.
9. Recharge the battery only after it cools down to room temperature. Use the charged battery
only after it cools down to room temperature.
10. DO NOT use the battery in strong electrostatic or electromagnetic environments, otherwise
the electronic protection devices might be damaged leading to dangerous accidents.
11. DO NOT use any conducting wires or any metallic substance that would cause batteries to
develop a short circuit.
12. DO NOT attempt to dismantle the battery case. DO NOT attempt to dismantle, pierce or cut
a battery.
13. DO NOT discharge the battery below 3.0 V per cell. Ideally you never want to go below 3.2
V per cell to maintain a healthy battery. 2.9 V per cell and lower will cause permanent damage.
14. DO NOT leave the battery sitting around on a full charge for more than 2-3 days. If by the
3rd day you realize you are not going to use your battery, you need to discharge your battery
down to 3.6 V-3.8 V per cell for safe storage until you are ready to use the battery again.
15. Depending on how they are used, most LiPo batteries typically do not last longer than 300
charge cycles. Leaving the batteries around on a full or depleted charge all the time, running
them completely dead, or exposing them to high temperatures will shorten this lifespan dramati-
cally.
16. Always pack your batteries in your carry-on bag and never in your checked baggage when
traveling on an airplane. It’s the law.
Warning
13
1. The battery should be stored in an environment with the temperature of 23±5°C.
2. The battery must be stored in places away from children, water, fire and metal.
3. Always keep a Class D fire extinguisher near your battery charging/discharging and storage
area. The battery charging/discharging and storage area should be free from any materials
which can catch fire such as wooden tables, carpets, or gasoline containers. The ideal surfaces
for charging and storing batteries are concrete or ceramic.
4.DO NOT use your flight case/travel case for long term battery storage. The foam and plastic
in these cases can help spread a fire caused by batteries. Always use a fire proof container
such as a metal ammo box or fire proof safe for storage.
5. If the battery is not being used for more than 1 week, keep the battery capacity between 50%
to 60%. Charge and discharge the battery once every two months.
6. Do not discard batteries in general household waste. Damaged or unusable batteries must
be disposed in containers specially reserved for this purpose. When disposing of batteries,
follow appropriate local guidelines and regulations.
