interference.
The flying height must be higher than the obstacles on the ground to avoid collision.
It is recommended that the flight altitude be greater than 49 feet to avoid other signal
interference from the ground.
Electromagnetic interference sources include, but are not limited to: high-voltage power
lines, high-voltage power transmission stations, mobile phone base stations and TV
broadcast signal towers, Wi-Fi hot spots, routers, and Bluetooth devices. Must fly away
from electromagnetic interference sources.

It is important to set an appropriate RTH altitude before each flight.
Make sure your phone has permission to access the Wi-Fi "RUKO-GIM-******" and connect
successfully.
Do the compass and gyroscope calibration each time before flying, or it maybe can’t work
normally.
Pay attention and control the aircraft at all times during flight. GPS flight assistance features
and App are meant to assist the pilot, not replace their control of the aircraft.
Pay close attention to its flight when operate return to home, Use discretion to operate the
aircraft and manually avoid obstacles in a timely manner.
Keep away from propellers and motors that are working and rotating. Fly in a non-interference
environment and within line of sight (VLOS).
Do not make calls or send text messages during the flight.
When the GPS signal is poor, please return as soon as possible when the battery is low or the
wind is warning.
The Aircraft is not equipped with obstacle avoidance function. During the flight, please judge

Please fully charge the battery for the first time before using it.
It is recommended to charge and discharge it once a month, do not store it fully charged,
keep 50%-60% of the electricity, the storage temperature is 10-40°C, and the best storage
temperature is 19-21°C.
Water enters the battery and the battery protection board fails, which will cause the battery
to not be used normally. Do not use the battery in rain or in a humid environment, as this may
cause the battery to self-ignite or even explode.
If the battery is squeezed, deformed, and dropped from a high altitude, it is forbidden to use
it again.
Prohibition of prolonged high-temperature exposure. The high temperature of the battery
will cause the internal pressure of the battery to be too high and cause an explosion.
The positive and negative poles are short-circuited for a long time (such as the short-circuit
caused by the water coming out of the battery contacts, the foreign matter in the hair, etc.).
If it exceeds 30 minutes, the protection board IC will fail and disconnect, and the battery
will not work normally.
Charging is forbidden to use fast chargers that exceed the rated power of the battery. It is
recommended to use 5V/3A chargers, do not use more than 5V/3A chargers.
If the aircraft has not been used for a month, the battery must be removed to prevent the
battery from being in a long-term low-power discharge state.

flight as the temperature may be too high.
Wait until it cools down to room temperature before
chargingagain. Due to the battery current output,
slighthotness is normal while flying.

1. To Prevent Flying Lost
1) It is better for beginners to fly the Aircraft within a real-time image transmission range
on your phone's App for safety.
2) During the flight, DO NOT turn off GPS signal (Do not long-press button, otherwise GPS
will turn off), the Aircraft would fly unsteadily, or lose the direction, or will be lost completely.
3) During the flight, if the picture freezes, the reason is WiFi disconnection, please RETURN
the aircraft first, change to another new environment or check if there is interference
around, then connect again.
4) button on the transmitter is only for emergency stop. You can short press and
then long press this button to operate it within 49.21 feet (15 meters height). DO NOT use
it casually while flying, otherwise, it will crash.

2) When taking off from grass or sand, please place the aircraft on the landing pad or cardboard
to keep it level.

4) Do not interfere with the gimbal by external forces or pick up the aircraft during self-
inspection (After compass and Gyroscope calibration, the gimbal will enter self-inspection
for 20 seconds).
5) The Gimbal cannot work during the compass and Gyro calibration. Put the Aircraft on a level
surface after calibration, then the gimbal will start to work after 20 seconds.
