    • Navigating the Android Interface

The remote controller's Android system works like most Android devices like smartphones and tablets. Here are some essential functions you need to know:

  • Accessing the Settings Menu: Swipe down from the top of the screen to access quick settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and brightness. Tap the gear icon to enter the full settings menu.

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connections:

    • Wi-Fi: Connect to a network to download an offline map for flight view in the ABZ Control app. The downloaded maps should not be used for planning, only as a visual aid and for spraying water for demonstration porpuses.

      • Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.

      • Select a network and enter the password if required.

    • Bluetooth: Use this to tether internet access from your mobile phone if no Wi-Fi is available.

      • Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and pair the controller with your mobile device.

      • Enable Bluetooth internet sharing on your phone to connect the controller.

  • Storage and File Management: The controller supports MicroSD cards and USB drives (up to 32GB) for mission file storage.

    • To transfer files, go to Settings > Storage and open your connected device (MicroSD or USB). You can move files, such as mission shape files, to the ABZ Control folder.

    • Mission files should be saved in ABZ Control > Missions to be available for flight planning.

  • Charging and Power Management

    • Charging the Controller: Ensure the remote controller is fully charged before each flight.

      • The controller cannot be charged while in use, so plan ahead (except for the old Herelink HX4 controller).

      • When charging, the indicator lights will turn red. When fully charged, the lights will turn green.

    • Checking the Battery: Tap the power button once to check the battery level on the controller when it's off. The battery icon is also visible on the home screen and in the notification panel.

  • Managing Display and Sound

    • Adjust Brightness: Swipe down from the top of the screen to adjust the brightness slider. Always ensure the screen is bright enough for outdoor use, especially in direct sunlight.

    • Adjust Sound Volume: Swipe down and tap the gear icon for Settings > Sound. Set the media volume to the maximum so that you can clearly hear alerts from the ABZ Control app during flights.
