Charging / Startup and Shutdown

When receiving a new drone battery, it is required to charge it to wake it up; the drone won’t start. Connect the TYPE-C charging port of the battery and a USB charger to the AC power supply to finish one-time charging (USB charger is not included in the package. User can use the charger that conforms to FCC/CE specification to charge the battery). The red indicator will stay on during chargingand turn off automatically after charging is done. UsThe useran charge the battery with the Parallel Charging HUB if the fly expansion kit is purchased.  For more details, please refer to the User’s Manual of Parallel Charging HUB. The Parallel Charging HUB can also charge the remote controller.

The shortest charging period is approx. 1h 25min through the type-C charging port. Make sure your charger
supports 5V/3A output to achieve this charging speed. The user is suggested to charge the battery through the Parallel Charging HUB, to charge 3 batteries quickly at the same time. It is suggested to remove the battery from the drone to charge for the sake of safety; otherwise, the drone won’t power on if the battery is being charged in the drone.

If the charging cable is connected while the drone is on, it will power off automatically, and the charging will continue. The battery may become too hot after use; do not charge it until it cools down; otherwise, charging can be rejected by the smart battery. Charge the battery on a trimonthly basis to maintain the activity of the cell. Please connect the original cable or any cable that supports over 3A current to the Type-C-C port; otherwise, it may cause charging failure or battery damage.

Drone

The product consists of a flight control system, a communication system, a positioning system, a power system, and a smart flight battery. This chapter sets down the functions of all parts of the drone.

Positioning

ATOM adopts Potensic’s new SurgeFly™ flight control technology, which supports the following two positioning modes: GPS positioning: Provides precise positioning and navigation to the dronsupportsort precise hovering, smart flight,ight and auto return. Vision positioning: It can realise high-precision positioning at a low altitude based on the Downward Vision System. The vision positioning can be realised without a GPS signal, so that the product can be used indoors.

How to switch: The flight control system will switch automatically according to the environment of the drone. If both the GPS and the Downward Vision System fail, the flight control will be switched to attitude mode, under whichthe drone fails to realise stable hovering, nd the user needs to correct the flight gesture manually through the control stick. The difficulty of drone handling will be increased greatly in ATTI Mode; make sure to master the behaviours and operation of the drone in this mode before using this mode; avoid flying the drone at a long distance, to avoid risks due to failed judgment of drone gesture.

Downward Vision System

The ATOM is equipped with a downward vision system, which is located beneath the drone. The Downward Vision System consists of a monocular camera and a TOF module. The TOF module includes a transmitter tube and a receiver tubeewhichwhich can precisely calculate the fly height above the ground by calculating the transmission and reception time of the infrared signals. In combination with the monocular camera, the system can help achieve high-precision positioning at low altitudes.

Detection Fileds

The Downward Vision System works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.3 to 5 m, and its operating range is 0.3 to 10 m.

How to Use

The Downward Vision System will be activated automatically if the positioning conditions are satisfied. The drone tail indicator blinks cyan twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working. Speed limit: To ensure positioning accuracy and flight safety during vision positioning flight, the drone will actively limit its flight speed.

Vision positioning is only an auxiliary flight function; please always pay attention to the changes in the flight
environment and positioning mode, and do not rely too much on the automatic judgment of the aircraft. Users need to control the remote controller at all times and be prepared to operate the drone manually at any time. The Visual System cannot work properly when flying over the following surfaces:

1. Pure-colour surface
2. Surface with strong reflection, such as a smooth metal surface
3. Transparent object surface, such as a water surface and a glass surface
4. The moving texture, such as running pets and moving vehicles.
5. Scenarios with drastic change of light; For example, the drone flies to an outdoor space with strong light from an indoor space. Places with weak or strong light.
6. For the sake of safety, please check the camera and TOF transceiver tube before the flight, and clean it with a soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on it; Contact Potensic Support if there is any damage to the Vision System.

Operation Instructions

When the battery temperature is ＞70°C, the App will prompt a high-temperature warning of the battery, and the drone will not be able to fly.

Propellers

Use the screwdriver from the package to mount the propellers. Hold the motor to remove the propeller blades more easily.When mounting or removing the propellers, do not put the screwdriver or other foreign materials inside the motors, or the motor may be damaged.

Flight Data

ATOM supports the recording of flight data. The user can view the data in the app. “Flight record” displays the basic data for each flight of the user. “Flight log” records the detailed flight data of the user. For any abnormal circumstance in flight, the user can report it i.n

App and, if necessary, upload the flight log to seek assistance. All flight data isstored in usthe user’sobile device. No flight data will be acquired by the Company, except for the data uploaded by the user to the cloud storage.

Gimbal  & CameraThree-Axis Gimbal ATOM is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal, allowing you to capture clear and stable images and videos. The control pitch range is from +20° to -90°, the control roll and yaw range is from +10° to -10°. The pitch angle of the gimbal can be adjusted by scrolling the gimbal dial on the remote controller. In Video Mode, the control pitch range of the gimbal is +20° to -90°; Otherwise, the control pitch range is 0° to -90°

Make sure to remove the gimbal protector before powering on the drone. After each startup, the default tilt angle of the gimbal is 0°(namely, the horizontal view). D O NOT collide, tap, or apply external force to the gimbal to avoid damaging the precision elements inside.

Camera

The gimbal may shake when flying in Sport Mode or in strong winds. It is recommended to fly the drone in Video Mode to acquire optimal gimbal stabilisation. Do not touch the lens after recording for a long period of time to avoid scalding.

Image Storage

The videos and pictures recorded by ATOM will be stored itinhe SD card, instead of the App or the user’s album. Make sure to insert the SD card prior to flight. Otherwise, it is unable to record and shoot. The user can preview and download the videos and pictures (the drone and the remote controller should be\ connected) in the App.

SD Card Requirements

File format: FAT32, exFAT Capacity: 4 GB- 256 GB Speed requirements: It is suggested to use an SD card above U1 (UHS Speed Class 1) or C10 (Class 10). The video downloaded from the app is just a 720P image used in video transmission. Please read the SD card with a computer or other device to acquire videos of higher definition.  The recording can be terminated due to slow write-in when using the U1/C10 SD cards of certain brands.  If important data isstored in your SD card, please backup them properly. Do not insert or unplug the SD card when the product is powered on.

Flight Mode

ATOM has three flight modes-Video/Normal/Sport, which can be switched via the App.

Video Mode

Ascent speed: 2m/s, descent speed: 2m/s, flight speed: 6m/s The drone enters Beginner Mode by default when being used for the first time. The flight speed will be limited to the same as in Video Mode to allow you to familiarise yourself with the controls of the drone.

Normal Mode

Ascent speed: 4m/s, descent speed: 3m/s, flight speed: 10m/s You can exit Beginner Mode after you have mastered adequate flight skills, and the drone will switch to Normal Mode by default.

Sport Mode

Please fly with caution in Sport Mode as the responsiveness of the drone significantly increases, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the drone moving a large distance.

A minimum braking distance of 30 m (100 ft) is required in windless conditions to ensure safety. When flying in Sport Mode or strong wiwindssthe gimbal may shake, which is normal.

Beginner Mode

The drone is automatically set to Beginner Mode for first-time use. In beginner mode:

1. The flight distance and height will be restricted to 0~30m
2. The speed level will be restricted to the same as in Video mode
3. The beginners are suggested to learn and master the drone in beginner mode

Takeoff/Landing/Hovering

Step 1: Start the motors. Use a combination stick command to start the motors. Push both sticks to the bottom inner or outer corner, depending on your control stick mode, to start the motors. Release both sticks simultaneously once the motors are spinning.

Step 2: Push the throttle control stick to take off. Push the throttle control stick upwards gently as shown in the picture, release the control stick when the drone leaves the ground, and it will keep hovering.

Landing

Pull the throttle control stick until the drone lands on the ground. Release the throttle control stick when the motors are no longer spinning. Take off from a stable and level plane; do not take off from or land on the palm or by hand.

When the drone is in a non-static state, push both sticks to the bottom inner or outer corners for 2s to force unlock it. Please stay away from the drone for more than 5m before operation for your own safety.

QuickShots

Conditions to activate QuickShots

1. The drone is airborne with a strong GPS signal.
2. A microSD card is inserted with available storage.
3. Sufficient battery level;
4. The drone is not in auto-flight state (auto return or landing).
5. The drone must be at least 2 m above the ground.
6. When locking the target in QuickShots, the gimbal pitch angle needs to be between -75° ~ -15°.

Otherwise, the flight path will be unstable. Make sure to follow local privacy laws and regulations when using QuickShots. QuickShots is not available in the following situations:

1. The drone is on the ground.
2. The GPS signal is weak.
3. The battery level is low.
4. The current altitude of the drone is insufficient.
5. The drone reaches the virtual fence.
6. The gimbal is horizontal or tilted upwards.

DO NOT use QuickShots in any of the following situations where the Downward Vision System may not work properly:

1. When the subject is more than 50 m away from the drone.
2. When the subject is similar in colour or pattern to the surroundings.
3. When the subject is in the air.
4. When the subject is moving fast.
5. When the ambient lighting is extremely low or high.
6. Quick Shots does not support video recording in 1080P@60/50fps.

Visual Tracking

Visual Tracking is unavailable when the drone is on the ground. During Visual Tracking, the gimbal dial will remain unresponsive. When the tracked subject is approaching the drone, it will hover in place and not move backwards. When locking the target in Visual Tracking, the gimbal pitch angle needs to be between -75° ~ -25°. The drone must be at least 4 m above the ground to activate Visual Tracking. During Visual Tracking, the tracked subject should not move at a relatively high speed(recommended speed less than 4m/s)

Use Visual Tracking at locations that are clear of buildings and other obstacles. Make sure there are no
humans, animals, or other obstacles on the flight path. DO NOT use Visual Tracking in places that are close to buildings or where the GPS signal is weak. Otherwise, the flight path will be unstable. Be ready to take over control of the drone by moving the control stick at any time in an emergency, and the drone will exit Visual Tracking and hover in place. Visual Tracking is not available when the drone is flyingwithinr distance and altitude limits. Make sure to follow local privacy laws and regulations when using Visual Tracking. Be extra vigilant when using Visual Tracking in any of the following situations:

1. The tracked subject is not moving on a level plane.
2. The tracked subject changes shape drastically while moving.
3. The tracked subject is moving at a fast speed.
4. The tracked subject has a similar colour or pattern to its surrounding environment.
5. When the ambient lighting is extremely low or high.
6. Operating the drone outside of the recommended range may prevent it from detecting the intended subject well.

Waypoint Flight

Return (RTH)

Regular Return

The regular return consists of three steps, as follows:

1. Level flight: The drone maintains a straight flight at the set altitude towards the HOME point.
2. Landing: Once it reaches the HOME point, the drone will automatically land and stop its propellers.

How to Start RTH 

One key RTH: Press and hold the RTH button on the remote controller for 1s or tap in the App to pop up the menu, then swipe right to start the return.

How to exit RTH 

Method 1: Tap on the left of the app to exit RTH. Method 2: Briefly press the return button on the remote controller to exit RTH.

RTH Requirements

The drone must take off in GPS mode and successfully record the HOME point.  If the drone takes off in OPTI mode and switches to GPS mode mid-flight, it will not be able to return to the takeoff point. Please pay attention to the location of the HOME point on the map and the prompts in the PotensicPro App.

To ensure the safety of the return flight, please set the appropriate return altitude in the app according to the flight environment. During the return course, users can still adjust the flight altitude by adjusting the throttle.  The drone will return when it is within 20m of the HOME point, and the return altitude will be 5m. Please pay attention to safety. Tall buildings or obstacles can block the transmission signal and cause signal loss. Do not fly behind buildings beyond the return altitude,

otherwise the drone will collide with obstacles and crash during thereturn. If the drone enters ATTI mode due to GPS failure or GPS signal interference, it will not be able to return. Lowering the flight altitudeappropriatelyy can help reduce power consumption. If the power is insufficient, the drone will perform a forced landing in place. Please pay attention to the prompts in the PotensicPro App. Do not initiate the return when there are obstacles overhead, such as tall trees; the drone may crash during the climb.

Please pay attention to return safety, because the drone does not support obstacle avoidance and may crash
when colliding with obstacles during the return course. For any GPS signal anomaly in communication loss return, the drone will maintain hovering at ATTI mode until the GPS signal is strong enough, and the return will resume.

Descending Return

How to Activate 

After 10 seconds into the RTH course, if the flight altitude is greater than 150m and the flight distanceis greater than 300m, the App will prompt a message for you to confirm whether to initiate the descending return. Once confirmed, the drone will start the descending return(the drone will descend its altitude while approching theHOME point). When its altitude descends to 120m, the drone will switch to the regular return ma intaining itscurrent altitude till it reaches the HOME point and lands automatically.

How to Exit 

Tap on the left of the App interface or keep pushing the throttle control stick up for 2 seconds to exit the descending return. The drone will switch to the regular return, maintaining the current altitude.

1. When encountering strong winds, the descending return can save power consumption and guarantee a
   more successful return.
2. This product does not have an obstacle avoidance function.
3. Please pay attention to flight safety during the return process.

Calibration

This chapter mainly introduces the calibration-related functions in Settings, including compass calibration, gimbal calibration, gimbal fine-tuning, remote controller calibration, and drone re-pairing.

Compass Calibration

Do not calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur, such as close to magnetic
deposits or large metallic structures such as parking structures, steel reinforced basements, bridges,  cars,  or scaffolding. Keep away from other electronic devices when calibrating, such as the mobile phone. Make sure the drone is at least 1.5m (4.92ft) above the ground when calibrating. It’s not necessary to calibrate the compass when flying indoors.
