The aircraft cannot detect objects in the grey area. Please y with caution.
Users can set the braking distance and warning distance in the App. The aircraft can
automatically stop when flying near to the braking distance. Once the aircraft enters the
warning distance, the obstacle information will be displayed as yellow. When the aircraft is
close to the obstacle avoidance safety distance, the obstacle information will be displayed
as red.

1. Power on the aircraft.
2. Connect the aircraft and the PC with a USB-C cable.
3. Launch Skycatch Update Manager for Explore2.
4. Click Explore2 and the calibration button.
5. Place the side of visual calibration plate with the dots facing the camera sensing System, and
follow the instructions in the Skycatch Update Manager to complete calibration.
DO NOT power off or unplug the USB-C cable after calibration. Wait for data calculation.
