78 Chapter 5 First Flight Before folding the arms of the aircraft, power off the aircraft first. Before inserting the microSD card, please make sure that the side with the metal contacts of the SD card is facing up, so as not to cause damage to the aircraft card slot and the microSD card. 5.3.4 Installing/Removing Propellers The EVO Max 4T uses a quick-release propeller design, and the propellers on the four arms are installed by default at the factory.
Chapter 5 First Flight 79 remove the propeller. Before installing or removing propellers, make sure the aircraft is powered off. When installing or removing propellers, it is recommended to wear protective gloves. Do not touch spinning propellers or motors. Before flying, check that each propeller is securely installed. Do not fly if any propeller is broken. Before testing the motor, make sure the propeller is removed. 5.3.
80 Chapter 5 First Flight For detailed operation methods, please refer to "2.2.4 Adjusting the Antenna Position" in Chapter 2 Remote Controller.

82 Chapter 5 First Flight propellers and arms are fully extended. 3) Make sure that all aspects of the aircraft, including the lens of the gimbal, the lens of the OA sensor, and the auxiliary light are free from foreign objects, dirt, or fingerprints, and are not blocked by loads on the fuselage. 4) Make sure that the protective cover of the gimbal has been removed and the three-axis movement of the gimbal is in a normal state.
Chapter 5 First Flight 83 5) Please refer to "5.5.1 Start/Stop the Aircraft" and "5.5.2 Takeoff/Landing the Aircraft" to use the remote controller to start the aircraft and take off. 6) Please refer to "5.5.3 Control the Aircraft (Default Mode 2)" to control the aircraft carefully. 7) Please refer to "5.5.2 Takeoff/Landing the Aircraft" to land the aircraft, and then turn off the motors. 5.5.
84 Chapter 5 First Flight The aircraft will heat up during operation, please handle carefully when storing it. When the battery power of the aircraft is 15% or lower, the aircraft cannot take off. When the battery of the remote controller is too low, please do not take off. 5.5.
Chapter 5 First Flight 85 When the aircraft takes off and lands, keep it away from people, vehicles and other moving objects. If you do not have heavy flight experience, please keep the aircraft in your sight at all times when flying. When the aircraft relies on visual positioning to fly, please do not approach mirror reflection areas such as water or snow. When the GNSS signal is poor, please ensure that the drone flies in a well-lit environment.
86 Chapter 6 Firmware Updates and Maintenance Chapter 6 Firmware Update and Maintenance 6.1 Firmware Downloads and Update In order to ensure the reliability and overall performance of EVO Max 4T, as well as to obtain the best flight experience, the aircraft and remote controller need to be updated to the latest firmware version. Before performing a firmware update, make sure that: The aircraft is powered on and the motors are not started.
Chapter 6 Firmware Updates and Maintenance 87 6.2 Equipment Calibration 6.2.1 Compass Calibration The compass has been calibrated at the factory, and no user calibration is required under normal conditions. If the compass displays an error message, the flight direction of the aircraft is inconsistent with the control input direction, or the flight location deviates too much from the calibration location, please follow the steps below to calibrate it.
88 Chapter 6 Firmware Updates and Maintenance 6.2.2 IMU Calibration The IMU has been calibrated at the factory, and no user calibration is required under normal conditions. If the acceleration and angular velocity of the aircraft are abnormal, please follow the steps below to calibrate it. 1) After turning on the aircraft and the remote controller, click "Settings" > "IMU Calibration" > "Start Calibration" in the main interface of the Enterprise App.
Chapter 6 Firmware Updates and Maintenance 89 Do not allow the camera to touch or immerse in liquids. If the camera accidentally falls into water, wipe it with a soft dry cloth in time and place it in a relatively dry environment. Do not use liquids containing volatile components such as ethanol to clean the surface of the camera lens, vision systems, infrared sensor lens and auxiliary light. 6.3.
