When installing, press firmly to ensure that the gap between the bottom of the cap and the motor can only contain the paddle removal tool.
  • Page 8 Removal Insert the removal tool into the gap between the bottom of the cap and the motor, hold the motor up to lift and then remove the propeller. Note:  Be sure to remove the propeller with a paddle removal tool. Do not remove it directly by hand.
  • Page 9 2.4 Battery installation and charging The WhalesBot drone is powered by a battery with a capacity of 1100mAh, a voltage of 3.8V, and charge and discharge protection. The maximum flight duration is approximately 10 minutes, so be sure to fully charge the flight battery before using it.
  • Page 10 The rechargeable temperature range of the battery is 5°C to 40°C, and the ideal temperature range for charging is 22°C to 28°C. Charging at the ideal temperature can significantly extend the battery lifespan. If you need to purchase additional lithium batteries, do not purchase and use batteries other than the standard ones.
