4. Pre-Flight Checklist

5. Flight Operations

Fly in an environment of 0°C to 40°C and good weather (not rain, fog,

snow, thunder andlightning, strong wind, or extreme weather).

It is forbidden to ﬂy indoors. Please do not ﬂy in the no-ﬂy zone and

comply with local laws.

Ensure that the arms of the aircraft are fully extended. Make sure

that the battery compartment cover is fastened ﬁrmly and the

intelligent ﬂight battery is installed ﬁrmly.

Ensure that the propeller is free from damage, aging, deformation, no

foreign matter entanglement, and ﬁrm installation.

Please make sure that GPS is turned on to avoid that it would be lost

please ﬂy outdoor in an open place.

Turn on the aircraft, then turn on the transmitter, please pair it with

the aircraft.

Connect Aircraft's Wi-Fi with your phone, make sure that you have

connected the Wi-Fi name “RUKO-PRO-XXXXXX" exactly after App

access right and Internet permission with your phone, please make

reference to operation video on App ﬁrst before ﬂying.

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.

6. Instructions for Using Intelligent Flight Battery

and Warning

The aircraft is not equipped with obstacle avoidance function. During

the ﬂight, please judge the ﬂight status reasonably, avoid obstacles

in time, and set the corresponding ﬂight and return altitude

according to the ﬂight environment.

If the aircraft drifts during ﬂight and cannot hover steadily, please

land the drone and re-calibrate the compass before taking off.

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.

DO NOT use fast chargers that exceed the rated power of the battery

when charging. It is recommended to use 5V/2A or 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.

Please remove the battery in time after the aircraft has landed on

low power to avoid battery damage caused by battery over-dis-

charge.

It is forbidden to overcharge the battery, please remove charging

cable in time after fully charged to avoid damage due to over-

charge.

It is prohibited to use computer USB, simple USB, and inferior charging

cables for charging.

Wait until it cools down to room temperature

before charging again. Due to the battery

current output, slight hotness is normal while

ﬂying.

5.2 Emergency stop

7. Problems You May Encounter

1. To Prevent Flying Lost

1) It is better for beginners to ﬂy the aircraft within real-time image

transmission range on your phone's APP for safety.

2) During ﬂight, DO NOT turn off GPS signal (Do not long press this

button on the left upper corner , otherwise GPS will turn off), the

aircraft would ﬂy unsteadily, or lose the direction or will be lost com-

pletely.

3) During ﬂight, if picture freezes, the reason is Wi-Fi disconnection,

please RETURN THE DRONE ﬁrst, change to another new environment

or check if there is interference around, then connect again.

4) This button on the right upper corner after long pressing is

only for emergency stop.

DO NOT use it casually while ﬂying, otherwise it will crash.

2. Camera Guidelines

1) Do not place the aircraft on rough ground and turn on, coz camera

will adjust up and down for self-calibration, please place it in a horizon-

tal position to make sure there is enough gap under the camera, other-

wise camera would be stuck.

2) If camera is stuck, please place the drone on horizontal position

without obstacles and restart the aircraft. then check if it can make

self-calibration, or make avroscope calibration to check camera

self-calibration.

3) If not, turn off the aircraft, then move camera up and down by hand.

If still stuck, please contact us for technical support.

Printed in China.

Please go to the front of the User Manual for contact in formation.

3. Wi-Fi Guidelines

F11 PRO User Manual

When wind speed is high, high-speed ﬂight should be main-

tained to improve wind resistance effect.

When ﬂying with fast gear, the pilot should reserve at least 3

meters of braking distance to ensure ﬂight safety when ﬂying in

windy conditions.

When using the fast gear for ﬂight, the power of the aircraft will

be greatly improved, and the operation of the remote lever on the

transmitter will lead to the large ﬂight action of the aircraft.

During the actual ﬂight, the pilot reserves enough ﬂying space

to ensure the safety of the ﬂight.

The F11PRO aircraft's status indicator is located above the nose

landing gear to indicate the current status of the ﬂight control

system. Please refer to the following table for the status of the

ﬂight control system represented by different blinking modes.

3.3 Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH）function brings the aircraft back to the last

recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low

Battery RTH, and Signal Disconnection RTH. If you activate the RTH

function under the condition that the aircraft successfully recorded

the Home Point and the GPS signal is good, the aircraft will automati-

cally return to the Home Point and land.
