ACCESSORIES AND ASSEMBLY BATTERY The capacity of the GHOST Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery is 5400 mAh, rated at 11.1v. It uses an XT60 connector. The GHOST battery has a power management function built in, and it should only be charged using the included GHOST charger.(59.94Wh) Please note that the battery voltage may rise post-flight. This is normal. Do not fly the GHOST if the battery shows less than a 30% charge.
BATTERY INSTALLATION Place the GHOST on a horizontal surface to connect the battery. Push the battery into the battery compartment (inward as shown in the diagram below). Close the compartment door, making sure that the battery is correctly seated inside the battery compartment. Do NOT 'force' the door closed as this could damage the wires or the GHOST Drone itself. If the door will not close easily, reposition the wires accordingly.
G-BOX The G-BOX is a wireless interface unit designed specifically for controlling and interfacing with the GHOST Drone. Each GHOST Drone is paired with one G-BOX. The GHOST App cannot operate the Ghost without a G-BOX. Please store the G-BOX appropriately. Should your G-Box become damaged, it will be necessary to replace the G-Box unit.

2 Installing the gimbal Install rubber ball dampeners onto the gimbal mount, then tighten the short screw to hold it together with GHOST. Gimbal GHOST Mount Rubber Ball Dampeners Short Screws Completion 3 Connect the gimbal with the gimbal Ghost mount. Make sure the camera faces the front of Ghost. Completion 4 Connecting the power supply Pop open the cover under GHOST, then pull out the power lead inside of GHOST. Connect the lead from the GHOST to the female lead on the gimbal.
LANDING GEAR The landing gear is made from a high-strength composite material. The landing gear is designed to support the weight of the Ghost Drone with gimbal and camera attached. INSTALLATION The landing gear must be installed on the GHOST Drone when the gimbal is attached. Please note the direction of the horizontal bars when assembling the landing gear. The proper assembly is shown in the diagram below.
ICON EXPLANATION LOCK: Tighten the propeller in this direction. UNLOCK: Remove the propeller in this direction. Left Right INSTALLATION 1 Put the aircraft upside down on soft surface to avoid scratches. 2 Match the red nut propellers with the L motors, and tighten the propellers according to the fastening instructions. 3 Attach the black nut propellers to the R motors in the same way.
DISASSEMBLING Keep the motor deadlocked in place with one hand and remove the propeller according to the unfastening instructions. WARNING Check that the propellers and motors are installed correctly and firmly before each flight. It is necessary to check that all propellers are in good condition before take-off. DO NOT use any aged, deformed or damaged propellers. To avoid injury, do NOT approach or touch the propellers or motors while they are spinning. Be careful during propeller assembly and removal.
LED LEGEND Be advised that the GHOST Drone does not have an on/off switch. To power on the GHOST Drone, connect the GHOST battery. After connecting the battery, LED lights will flash, two red and two blue. The red LEDs indicate the front of the GHOST Drone, the blue indicate the rear. If the LEDs flash rapidly during GPS flight, land the GHOST immediately. LED legend Blue Flashing Searching for GPS satellites. Blue Solid Found six or more satellites, can unlock and takeoff. Red Flashing 1.

COMPASS CALIBRATION Note: Instructions in the GHOST App may be newer than this manual. The following is included solely as a reference, please operate according to instructions in the latest GHOST App. Calibrate the compass using the GHOST App. The compass calibration will automatically begin after the Bluetooth has successfully paired. Ensure that the direction of the GHOST in the GHOST App aligns with the GHOST Drone.
ALL lines of text must be green in order for the Yes button to be functional. If it is not the same, click “Inconsistent” to enter compass calibration. （1）In the “Not Same” page, the green dots show the drone orientation. Rotate the GHOST Drone slowly clockwise to populate the circle with green dots. （2）The red dots show the GHOST Drone trajectory. Tilt the nose down until the GHOST Drone is perpendicular to the ground, and then slowly rotate clockwise until the red dots fully populate the circle.
（3）Click “Confirm” to re-enter the previous interface. Then repeat step 2 . DRONE CONFIGURATION Make sure all App settings match that of your current GHOST Drone configuration. This is critical. Flying with incorrect flight settings may jeopardize your GHOST Drone.The different settings tell the GHOST which flight mode to use. Using an incorrect flight mode may result in damage to your GHOST Drone.
ACQUIRING GPS The GHOST Drone can fly once at least six GPS satellites have been acquired. If the GHOST is having trouble acquiring satellites, try moving to a more open area. MODE 8 DISTANCE HEIGHT SPEED TIME FIRST FLIGHT Do not operate the GHOST with the propeller guards and landing gear simultaneously installed. For users who purchased the GHOST Aerial or Aerial Plus, practice flying with the basic configuration before you fly with a camera attached.

At least six satellites are required for GPS flight. If the Bluetooth icon light is steady, the GHOST App and G-BOX have successfully connected. If the Bluetooth icon turns to gray, the GHOST App and G-BOX are not connected. Heartbeat icon flashing: The GHOST App and GHOST drone have successfully connected.
TAKEOFF Click the “Takeoff” button after “Unlock.” After the takeoff countdown, the GHOST will rise and hover 10m (33 ft.) above the takeoff point. D A C B Ascending 10m Takeoff Tap to Add Waypoint B（destination） D（alternative destination） Note:Once airborne, the GHOST Drone can receive point-to-point flight instructions. Waypoint flight requires the GHOST Drone to be 10m (33 ft.) or higher.
FOLLOW-ME The Follow-Me function is enabled when the GHOST is in hover mode. Hover Anytime Note Only use Follow-Me in an open area, as the GHOST Drone does not currently have obstacle avoidance capabilities. If the user is changing elevation while travelling, the user must manually adjust the GHOST Drone elevation, as the GHOST cannot dynamically change elevation while in Follow-Me mode. To use Follow-Me, GPS on the mobile device running the GHOST App must be enabled.
YAW / ELEVATION The “Elevation” slider controls the height of the GHOST Drone and the “Yaw” slider controls the direction the GHOST Drone is pointed. Both functions can only be used while in Hover mode. Yaw Elevation Drone turns counter-clockwise when the button is dragged left. Drone turns clockwise when button is dragged to the right. Drone ascends when the button is dragged upwards. Drone descends when button is dragged down. Elevation function can only be used while in Hover mode.
RETURN When tapping “Return” in the GHOST App, the GHOST Drone will rise to 10m (33 ft.) and transit to its original takeoff point and hover in place. ①Height >15m, GHOST directly returns. ②Height≤15m, GHOST ascends to 15m and returns. If the GHOST Drone is already above 15m (50 ft.), it will return directly to its original takeoff point, drop to 10m (33 ft.), and hover in place. If the Ghost Drone is below 15m (50 ft.), it will ascend to 15m (50 ft.) before descending to 10m (33 ft.) and hover in place.
FAQ Can the GHOST Drone automatically avoid obstacles? No. The GHOST Drone does not contain obstacle-avoidance technology. Be aware of your surroundings and always fly safely. Will the GHOST Drone automatically return when the battery is low? The GHOST App both speaks and displays the current battery level. When the GHOST Drone is critically low on battery, it will automatically land. In the event of a signal interruption, the GHOST will immediately land.
