1.2 ChargingBattery type: LiPoCharging: The indicators of 1S, 2S and 3S are the number of batteries being charged; 1A, 2A and 3A are the current. The higher the value is, the faster the battery will be fully charged. State: When the red indicator is on, the battery is being charged. When the green indicator is on, the battery is fully charged.1.1 About the BatteryIt is a charge-discharge, lithium polymer battery specially designed for GHOST products, with a capacity of 5400mAh, cell voltage of 11.1v and an XT60 connector. The battery must be charged with the original charger provided by EHANG. Battery ChargerPlease make sure the following devices are fully charged before using GHOST. 1.Battery05PreparationBattery G-Box
1.4 Attention Needed1 ) Please examine if there is any tear, damage or deformation on the battery; 2) Battery temperature is high immediately after use. Don’t start charging until the battery cools down to room temperature; 3) Do not leave the battery charged unattended. If abnormal charging situa- tion occurs, please stop charging the battery at once; if you cannot attend the battery, remove the battery from the charger in case of unpredictable danger;4) Do not place or charge the battery in the sun. Temperature higher than 35ď might damage the battery or affect its performance;5) Store the battery out of children’s reach. Please keep the battery away from source of water and fire;6) Avoid storing fully charged battery. It is suggested to use the battery within 24 hours after it is fully charged; if you determine not to use the battery for a long period of time, keep its electric voltage between 11.4V and 11.6V (single cell between 3.8V and 3.85V) ; 7) Do not apply external force on the battery; do not drop the battery from high places; do not disassemble or modify the battery;8) Please replace the battery with new one if it bulges; 9) Please do not charge the battery for over three hours. 1.3 Put in the BatteryPut GHOST on level ground and connect it to battery cable. When the flickerfrequency is lowered (5 seconds per flicker), push the battery into the com-partment in the right direction and make sure the battery is tightly stuck. Close the cover and keep a safe distance (5 meters). Connect your smart-phone to G-Box through Bluetooth, which makes it easier to unlock the smartphone APP and avoids unlock failure. If the battery is not tightly stuck, there will be poor contact with power source or failure to obtain battery information, which may affect flight safety or cause unsuccessful take-off. 06Preparation

GHOST APP Function1.Unlock2.Takeoff 3.HoverTap “TAKEOFF” to fly GHOSTGHOST will beep if flight command is not received in three minutes and thirty seconds. This is a normal notice. You can tap “UNLOCK” and “TAKE-OFF” to fly GHOST or unplug the battery to extinguish this notice. Voice noticePropellers spin at low speedUnlockWhen satellite reaches 6 or above, GHOST can take off normally. When user’s smartphone connects to Internet, the interface will display the positions of user and GHOST on the GPS map.See picture above: A is GHOST’s spot. Click any destination (B) on the map to direct GHOST to B (from A to C to B). If the destination is updated in midway, GHOST will fly from current spot C to the updated destination D (from A to C to D). Tapping “Hover” in any status will terminate the previous command and keep GHOST hovering.Ascend/Descend is not available during flight.Estimate the height of barriers to avoid crushing.Micro-control is available only in hovering status. 24 Unlocked, ready to flyupdated destina-tion spotdestination spotA:GHOST spot C:Midway spotTakeoff point ascend and hover to 10m height ACB(destination)D:updated destination spot
25Tap “FOLLOW” to keep GHOST following you wherever you go and recording every amazing moment!GPS on smartphone is required to activate this feature.Available only in HOVERING status.At minimum 3m (up to smartphone GPS accuracy) horizontal distance from the user (smartphone and G-Box), GHOST begins to follow the user automatically. The farther apart GHOST is from the user, the faster GHOST flies (maximum speed: 49mph).To stop, user should lower his/her pace gradually. Do not stop immediately (or GHOST will fly over the user at high speed as it has no brakes). To terminate auto following, tap any available button on screen.Investigate surroundings before using auto following (GHOST cannot automatically dodge). While climbing, adjust GHOST’s height accordingly (GHOST cannot auto-matically adjust height). It is recommended to fly GHOST at a height higher than the user. Two situations of return: GHOST’s height is over 15m; GHOST’s height is less than 15m.Heights in this illustration are the vertical distance above takeoff point. 5.Return4.FollowGHOST APP FunctionʈSGHOST directly returns.ʇS-.59:YIKTJYZUS and returns .

27FlightAfter installation is completed, choose a proper environment for flight based on the following standards.1.Flight Environment1.1 GHOST might experience errors due to poor signal when flying too high or in an environment with dense buildings. It is suggested that you choose an open area to fly GHOST to reduce drifting mistake.1.2 Please stay away from barriers, crowds, high-tension lines, trees and water.1.3 Do not fly GHOST in restricted airspace as stipulated by laws and regulations.1.4 Please stay over 200m away from complex electromagnetic environment (such as a place with a signal tower or base station) in case of takeoff failure or crash due to intense electromagnetic interference (EMI).1.5 Do not fly GHOST in extreme weather including high temperature, snow, strong wind (over scale 5) and heavy fog. 2.Pre-flight Examination2.1 Check whether G-Box and battery are fully charged.2.2 Check whether propellers are installed correctly.2.3 Check whether motor starts normally after unlocking.Please contact EHANG dealers or customer service in case of any trouble during installation or use. 3.Flight Safety3.1 Make sure that there is a minimal of 5m distance between you and GHOST. Please stay away from dangerous obstacles such as barriers, crowds and high-tension lines. Please be a responsible flyer. 3.2 During the flight, keep GHOST within your sight to avoid accidents caused by oversight of surroundings.3.3 Children must be accompanied by professionals when operating GHOST.3.4 GHOST aerial must operate without prop guards and equipped with landing gear; put GHOST upside down on a cotton cloth to avoid scratching.
28Flight4.Caution during Flight4.1 Limit the distance between G-Box and the smartphone to 5m or less (holding in hand is recommended). Communication will lose beyond the limited distance.4.2 Ascend/Descend is only accessible in hovering status. During flight, the Ascend/Descend signal is hidden on the right side of APP interface. Height control is only accessible in hovering status. During flight, the height control bar is hidden on right side of the APP interface.4.3 It is normal for the battery level to rise again after landing. It is not advisable to launch your GHOST when battery level is less than 30%. It is best to fly GHOST with a fully charged battery.4.4 Please tap “HOVER” immediately in times of emergency. If GHOST fails to hover, please ensure your own safety before attending to GHOST. 5.After-sales5.1 GHOST products are guaranteed by after-sales service (please see details on after-sales card).5.2 Visit our website: www.ghost-drone.com to learn more about APP updates, newsletters, product development progress and after-sales service.
