• Observe the surroundings, ensure a safe distance from the obstacles and the crowd as well
as eliminate unsafe conditions including environmental factors like bad weather and extreme
temperatures before operation.
• NEVER operate while drowsy, drunk or in a poor mental state so as to prevent accidents.
• Keep the product away from heat to avoid damage to the electronic device and other components.
• Instead of operating alone, the beginner should seek help from a veteran beforehand and operate the
drone accompanied by the veteran.
• Please operate within maximum takeo󽗈 weight to avoid dangers caused by overload.
• It is a MUST to do the pre-󽗊ight inspection and eliminate co-frequency interference prior to operation.
• Stay away from the operating machine. Do NOT touch the spinning propellers with your body or other
components. Loose clothing is NEVER allowed as it should get caught in the spinning propellers easily
and cause injury.
• For safety purposes, it is NOT recommended to install the propellers until 󽗉nishing the trial run of the
drone and inspections of the remote control devices, motors and other modules.
• NEVER install/remove any module or insert/extract circuit while the power is on.
• NEVER take the human body or animal, whether still or moving, as an obstacle for the obstacle
avoidance experiment.
• NEVER impede, intervene or impact the drone with the human body, animal or any other object.
• Should there be adverse weather conditions like a strong wind, rain, snow and hail, hover the drone
and return to home as soon as possible. Weather not permitting, hover the drone and 󽗊y towards a

Precautions for Battery Use
• NEVER insert/remove the battery when it is ON, or it may cause damage to the interface.
• It is a MUST to check and update to the latest battery firmware and software version preceding
operation. Loss caused by failing to do so shall be borne by the user.
• An optimal ambient temperature range for the battery is from 10 ℃ to 45 ℃ . Chances are that 󽗉re,
even explosions will happen at a temperature over 45℃ .
• NEVER connect the cathode and anode with a wire or other metals, as this will cause a short circuit.
• For heat dissipation, the battery should be immersed into pure water instead of corrosive liquids
within the maximum and minimum level indicated for NO more than 60min, or else the battery will
get damaged for having water leak inside.
• Please always keep the interface clean and clean the liquid or foreign matters off it promptly.
Otherwise, it will cause poor contact, contributing to energy loss or failure to charge.
• Please handle the battery with care and do NOT take it apart, pierce the housing or apply pressure
to it, including but not limited to behaviours such as sitting/standing on the battery, stacking heavy
items on it and the like.
• Please regularly check the components like the battery interface and the plug before use. NEVER
clean the charging device with alcohol or other combustible liquids. NEVER use the damaged
charging device.
• Please place the battery and charging device on even ground with no combustible materials around
while charging. NEVER leave the battery unattended while charging in case of an accident.
• For your safety, keep a minimum of 30cm distance between the battery and the charger, and between
two batteries, lest too much heat lead to the charger or battery failure, even causing dreadful
consequences like a 󽗉re.
• Please make sure the battery is fully charged prior to each operation. NEVER operate at full capacity
preceding completion of charging.
• NEVER use batteries provided by manufacturers other than XAG, or to dismantle/replace the battery
without permission. If necessary, please contact XAG or the authorized dealer. For the battery
incidents, technical faults or other accidents caused by using a battery or accessories provided by
non-XAG manufacturers, the user shall be held responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom.
• If one green light 󽗊ashes at the end of the operation, please charge the battery to 40%~60% before
storage. Failing to do so may damage the battery or impact battery life. Fully discharge and recharge
the battery every 90 days to maintain battery health.
• The battery should be stored at 10~30℃ in a dry place instead of a wet or moist environment.
• Avoid moisture while charging the battery. Warranty does NOT cover any damage caused by problems
not attributable to the product quality like damaged battery housing.
• The battery is waterproof and splashproof under controlled experiment. However, rather than being
permanent e󽗈ective, the protection may get weaker due to wear and tear.
• Please STOP using the batter swollen, leaking, deformed or with appearance damage instantly and
contact XAG or the dealer without hesitation.
• The liquid inside the battery is highly corrosive. In case of contact with skin or eyes, 󽗊ush with fresh
water and seek medical attention instantly.
• To protect our environment, please properly dispose of the battery as required by the local laws and
regulations.
