    Preparation of the Aircraft 1.Spread the four arms one by one as shown. You’ll hear a clicking sound when the arms are properly positioned and self-locked. 2.Press the upper cover switch and open the top battery cover. Hold the arms and insert the battery into the chamber.
  • Page 11 4.First short press and then long press the power button to power on the device. To deploy the landing gear, quickly press the power switch three times when the blue status indicator of the aircraft is on. 5.Spread the propellers of the aircraft with both hands. 6.Place the aircraft on the ground surface at least 10m from the pilot, with the head of the aircraft (indicated by the red lights on the arms) facing the ying direction and pilot facing the tail (the power button also indicates the front of the aircraft).
  • Page 12 Preparation of Remote Controllers If the gesture-based remote controller is used for ight control, rst connect the base station and the gesture-based remote controller with a data cable. Connect the data cable to this port Connect the data cable to this port If the standard remote controller is used for ight control, connect the base station to the bracket of the standard remote controller and connect them through cable.

  • Page 13: Aircraft

    Aircraft Flight Modes PowerEgg has three different ight modes: P Mode (Professional): professional ight mode In this mode, sonar is used instead of GPS and the visual positioning system. The aircraft is essentially on full manual control. N Mode (Normal): Normal ight mode In this mode, the aircraft uses GPS or the visual positioning system, depending on their signal strength.

  • Page 14: Accessibility

    regardless of aircraft’s true orientation. There also will be a 10m-radius safe zone located around the operator. The aircraft cannot enter the safe zone and the control of the aircraft within the safe zone is disabled. Accessibility Automatic take-off Unlock the aircraft and ensure ight conditions for either via GPS signals or the visual positioning system meet minimum requirements.
  • Page 15 Smart return-to-home behavior The return-to-home behavior depends on the location of the aircraft when it is switched to return-to-home mode. 1.When the aircraft is located within 10m horizontally from the return-to-home point, it deploys the landing gear and automatically lands on the spot. Return point Less than 10m 2.If the aircraft ies higher than the return altitude (default value: 20m) beyond 10m, it rst...
  • Page 16 If the aircraft ies lower than the return altitude beyond10m, it rst vertically climbs to the return altitude, then turns the head to the operator and returns to the point above the return point. Then, the aircraft turns the tail towards the operator, deploys the landing gear and vertically lands on the ground.
  • Page 17 Smart return-to-home can be realized in three patterns: lost control return, one-click return and low power return 1.Lost control return In the case of loss of signal, the aircraft rst hovers in the air and then triggers lost control return in 10 seconds. After gaining signal of the remote controller again, the aircraft switches to the mode used prior to the loss of signal and continues to y.
