2.Disassemble the antenna frame
Disassemble the antenna frame fixing screws
and temporarily remove the antenna frame
from the airframe.
3.Disassemble the center hatch cover
Dismantle fixing screws of center hatch cover
and temporarily remove the hatch cover.
Before the reassembling the arm, please be certain to match the
corresponding markings on the upper plate of the fuselage to the markings on
aluminum sleeve of each arm. (Refer to Page 5). Incorrect assembly of the Arm
may will cause flight accident.
Attention

8. Connect circuits and infusion tube correctly
*You can also find the "P Series Aircraft Module Wiring Guidelines" on the back of head cover.
After the assembly is completed, please check if the
head hood is firmly secured to avoid accidents
during flight.
10.Finish Assembly
The battery and the Liquid container
are sequentially loaded onto
the aircraft, and the Aircraft
assembly is completed.

2. Prepare the remote controller
XAG P series UAV needs to be used together with professional remote controller and APP, which
supports various control modes. Currently, the supported control equipment (combination) includes:
1: ACB1 CommBack (standard) + Smart phone;
2: ACS1 ControlStick (optional);
3: ARC1 Agricultural Remote Controller (optional);
Each remote controller has a slightly different operation mode. Taking ACB1 smart remote controller
as an example:
•Turn On the ACB1 CommBack
•Device connection
•Download the "Plant Protection operation"APP
Scan and enter XAG Academy to download
the "Plant Protection operation" APP
Turning the remote controller On and Off
STEP 1 – Press and hold the power button until the indicator LEDs
STEP 1 – flashing, then again hold the Power Button to turn on the ACB1
STEP 1 – CommBack
STEP 2 – Within 60 seconds, the Indicator LED 3 will flash slowly
STEP 1 – indicating the device communication module is starting
STEP 3 – Repeat Step 1 to turn off the CommBack
STEP 1 – Connect the ACB1 CommBack with an Type-C USB Cable to the Smart Phone.
STEP 2 – Start XPLANET APP and ensure the device is connected successfully (the icon turns green).
STEP 3 – Click on the icon to check for Hotspot Details .
Default name: XAG123
Default Password: 20070401
Hotspot Details on ACB1 CommBack can be edited
STEP 4 – Edit the Hotspot detail to be consistent with your Smart Phone, and enable Hotspot.
STEP 5 – Disconnect the USB Cable connecting your Smart Phone and ACB1 CommBack, and waits
STEP 5 – for the device connection via WiFi. Once it is connected, the WIFI connection icon on
STEP 5 – “XPLANET” APP to light up ( turns green).

14
•Precautions
1. The distance between your phone and the CommBack shall be maintained at 20cm-10m, and it
shall be noted that your phone shall not be too close to the CommBack to avoid interference from
your phone with the signal of CommBack.
moer than: 20cm
2. The CommBack antenna radiates "apple-like" signals. In order to ensure that the UAV
receives remote control signals to the best extent, the CommBack antenna shall be expanded
and kept in a vertical state. The CommBack shall be held as shown in the figure below.
Only on the XAG member platform can a UAS with the right to use be successfully
paired.
•Pairing the Aircraft
STEP 1 – When your Smart phone is wirelessly connected via Hotspot, access XPLANET or
STEP 4 – XGEOMATICS App .
STEP 2 – Select Device, and click on “Pair”.
STEP 3 – Follow the on-screen instruction and Power on the UAV, and select the corresponding device
STEP 4 – to be paired.
STEP 4 – If the pairing process is successful, a notification will appear “Pairing successful”, and the
STEP 4 – device will be displayed on the device interface.
STEP 4 – Repeat this process if the firmware update are unsuccessful
STEP 5 – Confirm the UAV is functioning normally by selecting the UAV and Select "USE" in deployment
STEP 4 – of UAS, if it is displaying “IN USE”, the UAV is functioning normally.
STEP 4 – Note: Please be noted that pairing the aircraft requires sufficient Operator Level

The Smart Battery contains a power button and six
indicators.
The relevant buttons/indicator are as follows:
During charging process of the battery, the battery level indicator in uncharged area will flash “in
series”, indicating that the battery is being charged, and the lights in fully-charged area will be
Solid green. After charging is completed, the buzzer will beep for 30 seconds. Meanwhile, all battery
level indicator lights will flash for 2 minutes and then the battery will turn off automatically.
•Checking battery level
•Charging of battery
•
•Battery preheating*
Battery ON/OFF
ON：The battery will be turned on when being pressed and held for 2 times. When the battery is OFF,
connect the load*, press and hold the power button for at least 1 second, release the button after all
battery level indicator lights flash at the same time, then press and hold the button for at least 1 second
again until a “beep” is heard from the battery and all status indicator lights turn on, which shows that
the battery is turned on successfully.
OFF：The battery will be turned off when being pressed and held for 2 times. When the battery is ON,
press and hold the power button for at least 1 second, release the button after all battery level indicator
lights flash at the same time, then press and hold the button for at least 1 second until a “beep” is
heard from the battery and all indicator lights turn off, which shows that the battery is turned
off successfully.
No Device* shall be connected during pre-heating*. Long Press (5 Seconds) the power button until
“beep” is heard from the battery and all state indicator lights turn on, pre-heating of the battery will
be started and the battery will turn off automatically after heating. It shall be noted that the battery
cannot be charged/discharged in preheating state.
