18 years of age and who haven't obtained"civil UAV driver certificate". The safety

summary contains only part of the flight safety knowledge. Please read the Quick

Start Guide carefully to avoid property damage or even personal injury caused by

improper operation.

1.0 Summary of flight safety

1.1 Environment

1.2 Inspect

1.3 Operation

This product uses 2.4G / 5.8G dual frequency image transmission technology, flying in an open and

unobstructed field, far from the crowd and must without electromagnetic interference.

Flying under 4000 meters sea level.

Flying in a legal area, please consult your local flight management department before flying to comply

with local laws and regulations.

Do not fly in bad weather, such as high winds snow, foggy weather, etc.

When flying, please keep control within the line of sight to keep the aircraft at least 10 meters away

from obstacles, people, water and other objects.

Do not operate the aircraft indoors.

ake sure that the antennas of the remote control and the aircraft are installed firmly and not loose before take-off.

Adjust the camera resolution and code rate before take-off. It is recommended that the camera resolution be

set to 1080P and the code rate be set between 2M ~ 4M.

Make sure the image is not frozen and the data link is normal before takeoff.

Make sure each device is fully charged before takeoff.

ke sure all parts are intact before take-off. If parts are worn or damaged, please replace them before flying.

Check the oil tank and fuel lines before take-off to ensure that there is no fuel leakage.

Before taking off, make sure that the aircraft motor and propeller are clean and free from damage.

The arms are fully expanded and tightened.

Before taking off, ensure that all screws have been locked, ensure that screws and nuts are not loose.

Make sure the GPS stand is up and the GPS antenna is up before taking off.

After the engine is started, it is strictly forbidden to disconnect the auxiliary battery of the aircraft.

Keep away from propellers, motors when they are working.

Try not to move the antenna of the remote control during the flight. If the image signal is weak, you should

adjust the direction of the remote control slightly and swing it slightly until you find the best direction.

If the GPS is disturbed during the flight and cannot be located, the drone will automatically switch the

flight mode to fixed altitude mode. Before the GPS signal is restored, the drone will not be able to hover

automatically. The pilot should use the returned flight data and objectives. Depending on aircraft position.

Be sure to fly at a takeoff weight below 56.1kg (when flying near sea level) to avoid danger.

Performing a stick action or stopping the motor in other ways during flight will cause the aircraft to fall.

Use this feature only in an emergency.

o not answer or make phone calls during the flight. Never operate the aircraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

After landing, turn off the aircraft first and then turn off the remote control, so as not to lose the signal of the

remote control and cause the aircraft to automatically start the home mode.

Please maintain control of the aircraft throughout the process, and do not rely on the information provided

by the APP. Please rely on the naked eye to judge the flight condition reasonably, avoid obstacles in time,

and set the corresponding flight and return altitude based on the flight environment.

2.0 Get to know your aircraft

* 1) Before using QL 1800, please watch the instructional video to upgrade related firmware and calibrate related items and read

the quick guide carefully to avoid property damage due to improper operation.Even personal injury.

2) Rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when there are people nearby.

QL1800 is equipped with 30X optical zoom camera, which can observe the front environment in real time and

provide real-time reference for rescue work.

The FlightSafety safety guarantee system, GPS + GLONASS dual positioning system and six-axis rotor power

system are adopted to make the flight more safe and reliable.

The intelligent obstacle avoidance system based on Lidar technology and high precision sensors can reduce

the risk of mis-operation and ensure flight safety.

The fuselage is made of new materials and enclosed structure. It has the ability of dust-proof, waterproof and

corrosion-proof.

Adopting 2.4GHz&5.8GHz dual-band long-distance digital encryption transmission technology,

which makes the maximum video transmission range as long as 6km.
