Quick Guide
For EVO II Series
WELCOME TO EVO II
Now you can explore, discover and create like never before. The EVO II delivers not only advanced features like obstacle avoidance and intelligent flight modes but also a high-tech muscle that brings home a top speed of 44mph, 35-minute flight hover time, 40-minute flight time, and an operating distance of 5.6 miles.
In-flight performance, however, is just the start. The EVO II’s stabilized 3-axis camera allows you to shoot at up to 8K/25 fps, and view the live feed at up to 1080p on your mobile device or the remote control’s built-in OLED screen.
Welcome to the Autel Robotics family. Use this guide to get an overview of EVO II’s features and how to use them.
IMPORTANT:
Consult all reviewable documentation before your first flight. Failure to operate the aircraft responsibly could lead to injury or damages and may void any applicable warranty coverage

FLIGHT LED INDICATIONS
A LED indicator is located on the end of each aircraft arm. The front LEDs will light up solid red to help you identify the direction of the aircraft’s nose. The rear LEDs will display the current flight status of the aircraft. The chart below shows the meaning of each status indicator.
Color Key:
R — Red Color
Y — Yellow Color
G — Green Color
Indicator Key:
Slow Flashing: Flashes once every 2s
Fast Flashing: Flashes twice per second
Double Flashing: Flashes twice and then pauses and repeats
Alternate Flashing: Alternates among different colors
Example: “R – Solid Light” means solid red light.

INSTALLING NEW PROPELLERS
Because the propellers come attached to the aircraft, the following instructions apply if you need to reinstall propellers. Propellers must be undamaged and firmly attached.
The white-coded propellers should be paired with the white-coded motors.
♦ Attaching the Propellers
- Verify that the aircraft is powered
- Locate and match the propeller to each
- Press each propeller down firmly and rotate in the lock direction to securely attach the propeller.
♦ Detaching the Propellers
- Power off the
- Press each propeller down firmly and rotate in the unlock direction to detach the propeller.
Legend
Lock Direction: Fasten the propeller by rotating it as indicated.

Black-coded propeller > Pairs with > Black-coded motor White-coded propeller > Pairs with > white-coded motor
WARNING
Power off the aircraft before attaching or detaching propellers.
IMPORTANT
Wear protective gloves when attaching or detaching propellers.
PREPARING THE REMOTE CONTROL
- Unfold the model device holder and antennas
- Position the antennas vertically in order to ensure the strongest possible signal.
POWERING UP
- Turn on the remote Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
