Brief introduction
Thank you
for
choosing PowerEye! Reading this Quick Start
Guide
will help
you learn
about
the basic functions
of
PowerEye
as
well
as
some
of
the basic
skills needed
for
flight.
Attent
ion
This drone
ts
not
a toy. All Drone I UAS operators are require
to
have a basic
understanding
of
the features
&
controls
of
their drone,
as
well
as
a firm
understanding
of
the1r
fl
ight
environment
to
operate safely in the national air
space. Failure
to
be
mindful
of
these requirements
is
dangerous. Please
use
and
operate responsibly.
It's
a
good
idea
to
do
some test flights in a familiar; wide open space
to
become
familiar with the operations and features
of
your new drone.
Note
: flight
restrictions very
by
location, and some areas may require a permit
to
fly.
If you're
unsure, please contact your local authoriti
es,
however in general please avoid
the following locations:
(j)
No
Airports-
Stay 5 miles from any operating airport
(?)
Stay
under 400 feet.
®
Do
not
fly over people, freeways,
or
crowded
area
(4
Stay away from transmission equipment, signal towers, substation
equipment, and their surrounding areas .
. 5 Stay away from Military facilities
].
Stay away from Oilfields,
Wind
Turbines, Factories,
or
Private Property
Also be wary
tn
flying under the following conditions,
as
it
is
not
recommended:
!
Non-1deal
weather conditions (extreme windy,
rainy,

Rules.
These limits
are designed
to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment
generates uses
and
can
radiate radio frequency energy and,
if
not
installed and used in
accordance with
the
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to
radio
communications. However, there
is
no
guarantee
that
interference will
not
occur in a particular installation.
If
this equipment
does
cause harmful
interference
to
radio
or
television reception, which
can
be
determined
by
turning
the
equipment
off
and on, the user is encouraged
to
try to correct
the
interference
by
one
or
more
of
the following measures:
-- Reorient
or
relocate
the
receiving antenna.
-- Increase
the
separation between
the
equipment
and receiver.
-- Connect
the
equipment
into
an
outlet
on a circuit different from
that
to
which

Battery charging:
1. Charging should only
be
done
with
an
approved
charger (PowerEye
power
adapter
PEYIC10).
We
take
no
responsibility
if
the
battery
is
charged
by
a non-official charger.
2. The battery can
be
charged
under
the
environmental temperature 0 t -
45
C,
however charging
under
a
proper
temperature
of
20 C -30 C will
extend
the
life
of
the
battery
significantly. Warning: Charging
under
low
temperature (
<O
'C)
or
high
temperature
(
>40C
) will have a negative
impact
on
the
battery life, and
could
even
damage
the
battery.
3.
Do
NOT
leave a battery charging
without
proper
supervision. NEVER
leave
the
house while a
battery
is
charging. Always make sure there are
NO
flammable and
combustible
materials around
the
battery.
4. Never charge
the
battery
immediately
after using !!! The chemistry in
the
battery cells needs
to
cool
off
for
2 - 3 hrs,
however
overnight
is
best.
High temperatures are very harmful
to
the
battery's life cycle.
5.
The battery cannot
be
charged
if
it
was in a very cold,
low
temperature
outdoor
environment, and you should
wait
till
it
returns
to
normal
temperature.
Storage and Transportation:
1. Keep away from
the
heat sources like the inside
of
a car with direct
sunshine
or
in
hot
Whether. Stay away from fire
or
a heating furnace. Ideal
temperature
for
storage
is
20
"C
-30 C .
2. Keep
dry,
do
not
put
the battery in water
or
any
other
place where water
leakage may occur.
3. Keep away from children.
if
the children swallow
the
battery carelessly
please call
for
emergency medical help .
4. Storage I Long Term
-It
is
suggested
to
charge the battery
to
50%-60%,
and then keep
it
in a dedicated battery
box
if
you
do
not
plan
of
flying
for
short periods. Long
term
storage -Please charge and then discharge
at
least once every 3 months
to
maintain
the
battery's stability .
5. Forbidden
to
store, and transport
the
battery with
