Skysdrone Setup Checklist
- Charge the drone battery, controller and phone fully.
- Install the Skysdrone app and sign in.

- Pair the controller (see the controller guide).
- Calibrate the compass outdoors, away from cars and metal.
- Set return-to-home height and failsafe options.
Common Problems and Fixes
Skysdrone Not Connecting
Restart the controller, then the drone, then the app. Check the phone cable, update firmware on both devices so versions match, and re-pair. Move away from strong Wi-Fi and power lines.
Compass Error or Calibration Loop
Move at least 10 metres from cars, metal structures and reinforced concrete. Remove magnetic phone cases. Then follow the calibration dance in the app slowly and smoothly.
Weak GPS or No Home Point
Wait in an open area with a clear view of the sky. It can take a minute or two after travelling long distances. Never take off without a confirmed home point.
Gimbal Overload or Gimbal Motor Error
Remove the gimbal clamp and cover before powering on, place the drone on flat ground and restart.
Firmware Update Failed
Charge everything above 50 percent, connect to stable Wi-Fi and try again. Keep the drone and controller close and powered until it completes.
Battery Won't Charge
Let a warm battery cool for 20 minutes. If it has been stored for months, it may be in deep sleep. Connect it to the charger for several minutes before deciding it's faulty. See batteries and propellers.
