2. Data Storage and Use
The backup service function of this product is turned off by default,
meaning that user and flight information will not be uploaded or
disseminated via mobile devices. When the Autel Sky App is connected
to the aircraft and the backup option is turned on, the flight log and
flight remote sensing data will be automatically uploaded and saved
in the Autel Robotics data server.
Unless the user explicitly grants permission through the Autel Sky App,
the Autel Robotics Customer Service Team has no right to access the
flight log data. After granting this permission, only flight logs within the
selected date range can be accessed.
Various still images, moving images and data from the aircraft's
sensors will be stored on the aircraft's internal drive. If your drone
needs to be repaired, you can use the information on the internal
storage unit to diagnose the drone's problem. If processing services
or repairs are not required, this information will not be retained. Do
not delete or change the data on the internal storage device in any
way. Autel Robotics will not provide warranty for this practice.
The purpose of Autel Robotics' collection of data is to provide customers
with support and services, and to improve product performance. We
take your right to privacy very seriously. We will only agree to the
disclosure of uploaded data when required by law.
3. Safe Operation Guidelines
3.1 Battery safety
The EVO Lite series is powered by a lithium-ion polymer battery.
Improper use of lithium polymer/lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous.
Please ensure that all the following battery usage, charging and storage
guidelines are strictly followed.
Warning
• It is forbidden to modify the battery pack and its charger
or use third-party equipment to replace the batteries and
chargers provided by Autel Robotics.
• The electrolyte in the battery is extremely corrosive.
If electrolyte splashes into your eyes or onto your skin
accidentally, please wash the affected area with clean
water immediately and seek medical attention as soon
as possible.
3.1.1 Battery usage
When installing or removing the aircraft battery, be sure to turn off
the aircraft's power. Other precautions are as follows:
• Only use batteries and charging devices sold or authorized by
Autel Robotics for the EVO Lite series. Using unapproved
batteries or charging devices may cause fire, explosion, leakage
or other hazards. Autel Robotics is not responsible for any
repercussions caused by the use of third-party batteries or
charging devices.
• Before each flight, make sure the battery is fully charged. If
the aircraft enters the low battery warning mode, it will land
as soon as possible. Stop flying and replace the battery with
a new one or charge the battery.
• Do not disassemble, scratch, squeeze, bend, puncture, cut,
twist or otherwise intentionally damage the battery. Damage
may cause fire, explosion, leakage or other hazards.
• Once the battery begins to bulge, smoke, leak or show any other
signs of damage, stop using it immediately and immerse it in a
container filled with salt water.
• Please use the battery at a suitable temperature (-10℃～40℃). Use
at high or low temperature will affect battery life. Temperatures
too high may cause fire or spontaneous combustion, while
temperatures too low may cause permanent damage to the
battery.
• When the battery’s temperature falls below 10℃, it needs to
be pre-heated before the aircraft can take off.
• Do not use the battery in a strong static electricity or electromagnetic
environment.
• Do not expose the battery to open flame, explosives or other
hazards.
• Do not place the battery in a microwave oven or pressure cooker.
• If the aircraft falls into water, remove the battery immediately
after recovering it. Put the battery in an open place and keep
a safe distance from it until it is completely dry. After that,
please stop using the battery. You can contact the customer
service center to replace it.
3.1.2 Charging batteries
It takes up to 90 minutes to fully charge the aircraft battery, but the
charging time is related to the remaining power. Other considerations
are as follows:
• Do not use damaged battery chargers.
• When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the aircraft
battery and power supply.
• Wait for the battery to cool to room temperature before charging.
If you connect the battery to the charger immediately after
the flight, the over-temperature protection function may be
automatically activated, preventing the battery from charging
until it has completely cooled.
3.1.3 Battery storage and transportation
Avoid close contact with water or heat sources when storing the
battery. The battery should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area
at room temperature (ideally 22°C to 28°C (72°F to 82°F)).
Other considerations are as follows:
• The battery should be stored out of the reach of children and
pets.
• Do not store the battery near direct sunlight, sharp objects,
water, metal or reactive chemicals.
• Storing the battery at extreme temperatures will shorten its
life. If the battery is not used for more than 1 day, it should
be stored at a temperature of -10°C (14°F) to 30°C (86°F).
Otherwise, it may cause damage or battery failure.
• If left unused for an extended period of time, the service life
of the battery will be shortened.
• Never transport damaged batteries. When the battery needs
to be transported, be sure to discharge it to about 20%-30%.
3.1.4 Battery disposal
• Please fully discharge the battery before putting it in the
designated battery recycling bin.
• Batteries contain dangerous chemicals; it is strictly prohibited
to place batteries in ordinary trash cans. For details, please
follow the local laws and regulations on battery recycling and
disposal.
3.2 Flying drones safely
3.2.1 Flight environment
Please abide by all local regulations regarding drone flight. Only fly
in designated UAV flight areas. Use the Autel Sky App to set the distance
and height restrictions that meet the regulations.
• Do not fly in dangerous situations or severe weather conditions
such as tornadoes, rain, hail, snow, etc.
• Please fly in an open area away from densely populated areas,
buildings and electromagnetic interference sources.
• Please fly in areas below 5000 meters above sea level.
• Indoor flight: Due to insufficient lighting conditions, narrow
space and lack of GPS signal, the use of some functions may
be restricted.
3.2.2 Before takeoff
Please do the following before each flight:
• Ensure that the aircraft, remote control and mobile devices are
fully charged.
• Ensure that the propeller is installed correctly and is not damaged.
• Ensure that all parts of the aircraft are fully installed.
• Make sure the motor, gimbal and camera work normally after
the aircraft is powered on.
• Ensure that all warnings and errors displayed on the Autel Sky
App have been processed.
• Ensure that the Autel Sky App and firmware have been updated
to the latest version.
• Only use accessories provided with this aircraft or ones that
are sold or authorized by Autel Robotics for this product. Using
unapproved accessories can result in serious safety risks and
will void the product warranty.
3.2.3 In flight
• When taking off and landing the aircraft, stay away from people,
vehicles and other moving objects.
• Do not let the aircraft leave your sight.
• When the aircraft relies on visual positioning to fly, please do
not approach a mirror reflection area such as water or snow.
When the GPS signal is poor, please ensure that the drone is
flying in a well-lit environment.
• When a low battery alarm occurs, do not cancel the automatic
return-to-home process. Otherwise, the aircraft may return to
the home point due to insufficient battery power.
• When the Autel Sky App displays an alarm, follow the corresponding
instructions immediately.
• Do not attempt to operate the aircraft if you are inebriated
or experiencing high blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue or any
other physical conditions that may affect your ability to safely
operate the aircraft.
3.2.4 Storage and maintenance
After any collision, every part of the aircraft should be checked carefully.
• Store the aircraft and its accessories in a cool, dry place.
• Store the aircraft and its accessories out of the reach of children
Disclaimer and Safety
Operation Guidelines
and pets.
• The aircraft should be kept away from water and heat sources.
• The recommended storage temperature for the aircraft is
22ºC to 28ºC (72ºF to 82ºF).
Warning
If any part of the aircraft or the remote control fails to
work normally or is visibly damaged, please do not fly.
