21. Keep away from the reach of children!
22. Use the oicial charger and follow the charging requirements!
• If you do not plan to use the product for a long time, please charge the baery
above 12v. If the voltage is higher than 13v, the baery will automatically start to
discharge to 11.55V after two days. Keeping around 11.55V can increase the baery
life.
• Please use the professional charger provided by Skydroid to charge the baery.
• Use a current below 5C for discharging, and the discharging time should not be
too long to avoid damage to the baery due to over-discharge.
• Do not charge in a flammable and explosive environment to prevent fire.
• The baery needs to be charged after being stored for more than three months

1.3 Smart baery functions
Automatic discharge protection for baery storage: After being fully charged and
left without any operation for 2 days, the baery will discharge to 11.5V (a slight
heat during this period is a normal phenomenon) to protect the baery.
The drone uses a 3S smart lithium baery with a capacity of 4200mAh and a
nominal voltage of 11.1V. Standard equipped with a smart charger. The charging
time is about 1.5 hours.
①Insert the baery charging plug into the connector.
②Connect the power adapter to the AC power supply.
③The current voltage will be displayed in the charger.
④Please make sure to charge the baery at an ambient temperature between
0-40°C.
⑤The charger displays FUL and 13.0V alternately, which means the baery is fully
charged.

1.5 Propeller
1.4 Aentions
When installing the propeller, please carefully check the white dots on the drone
motors and the orange dots on the propeller blades, and tighten them.
1 If the baery is used in a low temperature environment (-10°C to 5°C), please
fully charge it and warm the baery to above 10°C before use.
2 Using the baery in an environment below -10°C will cause unpredictable
consequences.
3 In a low temperature environment, the actual discharge capacity of the baery
will be significantly smaller than the theoretical discharge capacity. Please stop
flying immediately when the APP recommended "low baery alarm".
4 In a low temperature environment, due to the limitation of baery output
power, the wind resistance of the drone will be reduced. Please operate with care.
5 The temperature of the intelligent baery is relatively high after flying, please
recharge after it drops to room temperature.
6 The allowable charging temperature range of the intelligent baery is 5°C to
40°C, and the best charging temperature range is 25±3°C. Charging within this
temperature range can extend the baery life.

常见问题回答
1.The remote control cannot be connected.
①Check whether the APP type is correct
②Whether the background occupies the Skydroid Fly APP or not
2.The image is stuck and disconnected
①Adjust the angle of the antenna to aim at the drone, and there should be no
obstruction in the middle
②Change the flying field, do not fly near tall buildings or signal towers
3.Unsteady hovering of the drone
①Change the flying field, do not fly near tall buildings or signal towers
②Carry out drone compass calibration and level calibration
