NOTIFICATIONS The Smart Pilot APP provides warning and alert notifications, and will provide suggested actions on solving the issues. The top screen shows the warnings at the top left corner. The bottom screen also displays the alerts on the left side. You may also refer to the top right corner for current warnings. Tapping the Alert icon on the screen will bring you to the Notification Center. You may check all the existing warnings and tap the suggested action to solve the issue.
FIRMWARE UPDATES The Smart Pilot APP guides the user through the Firmware Update process. Firmware Update requests are displayed on the Ground Station screen. Whenever an update is available, the Smart Co-Pilot system will request the operator perform the update when the Ground Station is connected to an internet connection. This process can be simply accessed from the alert page by selecting “update”. You can check for available updates under the following path: DRONE SETTINGS > GENERAL > FIRMWARE UPDATES.
FLIGHT RECORDS The Ground Station seamlessly records your flight data and allows you to replay the aircrafts flight path, altitudes and timing as well as any footage that was recorded during that flight. To access your Flight Records, please use the following path: PILOT > FLIGHT RECORDS.

WEATHER FORECAST To make sure you’re always aware of weather conditions, the EVOLVE 2 gives you the local forecasts within the user interface. Sunrise and sunset times are also displayed so you never miss the most magical moment of the day. Information can be seen on the top screen after powering on OR in the advanced chart: DRONE > START HERE > READY TO FLY > FLIGHT PAGE. DRONE TAB Top screen after powering on. Tap “More Weather Information “ for more.
WEATHER LIMITATIONS Although the EVOLVE 2 is a high-performance aircraft, weather can be a crucial factor to flight performance and safe operations. Caution must be taken when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather planning breaks includes the following criteria: • Weather information gathering – This can be achieved by watching local news weather stations, the internet and apps such as The Weather Channel and NOAA.

ARMING AND DISARMING THE AIRCRAFT ARMING THE AIRCRAFT When arming or disarming, commands are given to the flight controller, the aircraft’s state may change suddenly requiring the operator to react immediately in order to maintain full control of the aircraft. ARMING PRE-CHECK The EVOLVE 2 makes several internal calibrations and adjustments before each flight.
DISARMING THE AIRCRAFT After landing the aircraft, hold the throttle stick down and to the left to disarm the motors. The LED indicators will change color followed by a long beep and propellers will stop spinning. Make sure all the LED indicators are solidly lit by the same color (either Green or Blue) with no blinking before moving the sticks back to central position.
AUTO LANDING PROCEDURE 1. Short Press and Long Press the Auto Take Off button for 3 seconds. 2. Take off dialog will pop up on the screen. Release the button to cancel action anytime. 3. The Ground Station will voiceover to indicate the aircraft ready to descent. (during the descent the operator can reposition the aircraft to clear obstacles or land in preferred spot ) 4. Upon landing, the aircraft will disarm automatically.
RETURN TO HOME BUTTON PROCEDURE 1. Make sure GPS Signal is showing at least ‘Good’ (if not, visually track the aircraft as it flies back to home position). 2. Press and hold the Return to Home button for 3 seconds. 3. The aircraft will ascend to a pre-set altitude, or if at a greater altitude than the programmed altitude it will remain at that altitude, and then return to the Home Point in shortest path (straight line). 4. The Smart Pilot System indicates the aircraft is under Return to Home Mode.
DETERMINING THE RETURN TO HOME ALTITUDE Depending on the flight conditions and obstacles in the return to home flight path, the operator can choose a safe return altitude for the Return to Home function. This altitude should be set up before flight under the APP configuration tab. A low altitude setting is not recommended for obstacle clearance (such as trees or buildings). Also notice the maximum legal flight altitude for each flight.
OFFLINE MAP (PRELOADED MAP) To ensure that the map can be displayed without network connection, Smart Pilot APP offers the offline map download feature. Follow the steps below to download the map: 1. Connect Ground Station to an internet connection with download capabilities 2. Navigate to the Offline Map under the following path: DRONE SETTINGS > MAP > OFFLINE MAP 3. Tap “+” to create a new offline map area 4. Search for plane or address directly or tap the map to the designated area 5.

BATTERY BATTERY USE • DO NOT allow the batteries to come into contact with any kind of liquid. DO NOT leave batteries out in the rain or near a source of moisture. DO NOT drop the battery into water. If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, corrosion may occur, potentially resulting in the battery catching on fire, and may • • • • even lead to an explosion. Never use non-XDynamics batteries. Go to www.xdynamics.com to purchase new batteries.
• Before carrying the Intelligent Flight Battery onto an airplane, the battery must first be discharged to below 30%. Only discharge the battery in a fireproof location. (Please verify with IATA or FAA prior to your flight if any changes in regulation) BATTERY USE • • Make sure the batteries are fully charged before each flight. Land the aircraft immediately when low battery level signals are activated. BATTERY CHARGING • The Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to stop charging when it is full.
Battery Charging • DO NOT attach the batteries to wall outlets or car charger sockets directly, and always use a XDynamics approved adapter. • • XDynamics takes no responsibility if the battery is charged using a non-XDynamics charger. Never leave the battery unattended during charging. DO NOT charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surface such as carpet or wood. • DO NOT charge battery immediately after flight, because the battery temperature may be too high.
