Page 5: Special Notes: Safety Instructions Include, But Are Not Limited To, The Items Mentioned Above
5.3 Pre-Operation Checks • Ensure the remote controller battery and the power battery are fully charged (check the base station battery when using RTK). • Ensure all components are intact. If any parts are worn or damaged, replace them before flying. •...
Page 6: Product Overview
6. Product Overview The X50 Agricultural Drone is a convenient, efficient, and economical fold-able drone designed specifically for agricultural use. The down-wash airflow generated by the rotor blades helps with the penetration of the pesticide into the crops, resulting in ex- cellent pest control.

7. Connecting to the Drone The connection status between the to connect or remote controller and the drone is disconnect displayed. Click the button the drone. 7. Flight Instructions Operational Environment Requirements 1. Avoid flying in extreme weather Do not operate the drone in conditions of high wind (8 m/s or higher), rain, snow, fog, or other adverse weather.
Page 13: Flight Restrictions And No-Fly Zones
7.2 Flight Restrictions and No-Fly Zones According to the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the air traffic control authorities of various countries, drones must operate within designated airspaces. To ensure flight safety, flight restrictions are enabled by default, including height and distance limits as well as no-fly zones, helping users fly the drone safely and legally.
Page 14: Basic Flight
8. Basic Flight 8.1 Drone Power Supply • Turn on the battery by short-pressing and long-pressing the power button. Wait for the battery indicators to light up in sequence before releasing the button. Once the drone connects and completes satellite search, and the remote con- troller reports a good signal and the RTK turns green, the drone is ready for take- off.
Page 15: Compass Calibration
8.3 Compass Calibration • Enter the app’s operation interface and click on the “More Settings” button in the top-right corner. Go to the drone settings and enter the sensor interface. Click on “Compass Calibration” and follow the prompts in the app to calibrate the compass.
Page 16: Weight Calibration
8.5 Weight Calibration • Place the drone’s battery in the pesticide tank, and after clicking “Done,” check whether the current weight is 13.5kg (which is the battery’s weight). Alternative- ly, add a certain amount of material to the tank, manually input the material’s weight, and click “Calibrate.”...
Page 17: Pre-Flight Status Check
8.7 Pre-Flight Status Check 1. Safe Distance The operator should stand facing the tail of the drone, maintaining a safety dis- tance of at least 10 meters away from the drone. 2. Check Remote Control Mode • Enter the app’s operation interface and check the control mode in the pa- rameter information bar.
Page 18: Start And Stop The Drone
8.8 Start and Stop the Drone Start the Motor - Unlock and Takeoff Rotate left and right joysticks in the direction below, the drone will be unlocked, and the propellers will rotate at idle speed. Push the throttle stick up, and the drone will take off. Operate the Flight Operate the drone forward, backward, left, right, turn left, turn right, ascend, and de- scend by manipulating the joystick according to the corresponding control mode.
Page 19: Starting Operation
High-speed rotating propellers are dangerous, so users should maintain a safe distance from the drone, and the drone should stay away from crowds, ani- mals, or other obstacles. When the drone is flying in the air, do not rotate left and right joysticks in the direction of outward diagonal;...
Page 20: Route Operation
9.4 Route Operation • Field Mapping: Enter the app’s “Task Planning” interface -> Tap “Add Field” -> Select a method to create the field -> Add boundary points, obstacle points, and reference points -> Save the field. • Task Execution: Enter the app’s “Task Execution”...
Page 21: Task Planning
• Sync Operation Records: Sync your operation records to the cloud. The exported files are stored in the fol- lowing path: agr->record->export. • Device Information: Allows playback of operation records, filtering and statistical analysis of records, and synchronization of local records with the cloud backend. •...
Page 22 • Field List: Manage fields by sharing, deleting, editing, or synchronizing them. • Adding a Field: Tap “Add Field” and select a method to add boundary points to the field. • Map Pointing: Suitable for open fields without obstacles. The accuracy is relatively low, so use with caution.
Page 23 • Place boundary points: Drag the map to align the marker with the edge of the field boundary, then tap to mark the boundary point. • Boundary Types: Switch between boundary points, inserted points, square obstacle zones, circular obstacle zones, no-spray zones, and reference points. •...

10.3 Task Execution Drone Information: Tap the status bar to view detailed information about the drone. Tap any device icons to get more details about the corresponding device. • RTK Status: The RTK status indicates the current number of satellites and the RTK connection status using different colors: •...
Page 25 • GPS Positioning: If RTK is turned off, the drone will use GPS for positioning. The color-coded status of the GPS is: • Grey: No GPS signal. • Red: Less than five satellites. • Orange: 5–16 satellites. • Green: More than 16 satellites. •...
Page 26: Operation Modes
• Operational Parameters: View and adjust flight parameters such as speed, altitude, and pesticide flow rate. Monitor sprayed area and consumed pesticide. 10.4 Operation Modes • M+ Mode (Enhanced Manual Operation): This mode is suitable for small irregular fields or temporary tasks where no pre-planning is needed.
Page 27: Obstacle Avoidance Radar
• Pesticide Use per Acre: Set the amount of pesticide needed per acre. • Lateral Movement Distance: Set the distance for the drone to move sideways. Recommended setting: 6–8 meters. • Flight Speed: Faster flight speeds increase efficiency. • Centrifugal Nozzle Speed: Adjust the nozzle rotation speed. Higher speeds create finer spray particles.
Page 28: Smart Battery Protection Mechanism
Radar Specifications: • Usable height range: 0.5–50 meters. • Recommended operational height: At least 1.5 meters. • Terrain slope: Less than or equal to 25°. Important Notes: • Regularly clean the radar to prevent contamination from pesticides or debris, as this can affect performance. •...
Page 29: Ups Function
10.8 UPS Function When the UPS function is enabled, removing the battery will not immediately cut the power to the flight controller, allowing you to replace the battery without needing to reboot the system. If a new battery is not inserted within 20 seconds, the drone will shut down completely.
Page 30: Accelerometer Calibration
10.10 Accelerometer Calibration To perform accelerometer calibration, enter the app’s operation interface, click on the “More Settings” button in the top-right corner, go to the drone settings, and access the “Sensors” menu.

Page 31 2. Ensure the remote controller has an active internet connection. 3. In the RTK settings menu, select your RTK account and verify that it is still active. Expired accounts must be renewed.
Page 32: Language Switching
RTK Signal Sources: • Network Base Station: This option uses a network RTK base station for positioning, requiring a stable 4G signal on the remote controller. • Ntrip RTK: Users can supply their own RTK account. After configuring the account information, return to the main interface and proceed with the task.
Page 33: Map Switching
10.13 Map Switching After switching the language, switch to the appropriate map to avoid misalignment between the positioning and map data. Steps to switch maps: 1. Open the Smart Flight app -> Enter the operation interface -> Tap on “More Settings” -> Select “Other Settings” -> Choose between Amap, Tian- ditu, or Google Maps.
