The numbered items in the illustration on this page are described below (only items 22–39 related to the side and back areas are listed):
| No. | Component | Brief Purpose | Precautions | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22, 35 | Three-position toggle switch (right/left) | Multi-position switch, often linked to safety or mode logic | Before powering on and starting a mission, confirm that the switch position complies with the Three-Position Switch Precautions; do not switch positions arbitrarily when their functions are unclear | Safety enable, flight mode, operation mode, etc. (as defined by the system) |
| 23, 34 | Three-position rocker switch (right/left) | Multi-position rocker switch with functions mapped by the system or application | Understand its function in conjunction with the toggle switches to avoid accidental activation and abrupt mode changes | Auxiliary channels, gain, and on/off control |
| 24, 33 | Dial wheel (right/left) | Rotary adjustment, often used for gimbal tilt, zoom, parameter fine-tuning, and similar functions | Use appropriate force when rotating the wheel and avoid accidentally pressing other buttons; specific functions depend on the application | Gimbal control, zoom, and parameter adjustment |
| 25, 32 | Back button (right/left) | Back button that can be pressed with the index or middle finger and mapped to shortcut functions | Avoid accidental presses while holding the remote controller; mapping logic depends on the system or application | Taking photos, recording video, and custom shortcuts |
| 26 | Palm rest (right) | Supports the right palm to improve grip stability and comfort | Keep it clean and free of oil that could affect grip | Extended handheld operation |
| 27 | Speaker | Outputs system prompts, alarms, media audio, and call audio | Lower the volume in quiet environments; do not block the speaker opening | Prompt tones, voice feedback, and speaker playback |
| 28 | Cooling fins | Assist with heat dissipation and reduce temperature rise under high loads | Do not block or cover them; keep the vents free of foreign objects | High-load operation and high-temperature environments |
| 29 | Control stick assembly (entire assembly) | Mechanical assembly for the left and right control sticks | Protect it from impacts and liquid ingress; if an issue occurs, see Troubleshooting and Support | Core control during all operations |
| 30 | Expansion bay cover | Covers and protects the internal data link or expansion module | Do not open the cover or install or remove internal modules while the device is powered on; replace modules according to the included maintenance instructions | Installation and maintenance of an external data link or expansion module |
| 31 | Bay cover switch | Locks or releases the expansion bay cover | Before opening the cover, confirm that the device is powered off or follow the delivery instructions | Maintenance and replacement of expansion modules |
| 36 | Metal handle | Used to carry the device by hand or suspend it for transport | Its load capacity is limited; do not suspend excessively heavy objects from it, and prevent it from striking hard objects during transport | Carrying and short-distance transport |
| 37 | Lower housing | Structural component that forms the device body together with the upper housing | Avoid heavy pressure and impacts; send the device for repair if it is damaged or water enters it | Protection and structural support |
| 38, 39 | Silicone port dust cover (small/large) | Protects unused ports from dust | Remove the corresponding plug when connecting a cable, and replace it after use to reduce dust ingress | Port dust protection and extended port life |
Back Area
- Palm rest/strap attachment point (No. 26 and the symmetrical point on the other side): Supports extended single-person operation or shoulder carrying; when using a strap, confirm that the fasteners and attachment points are secure.
- Cooling area (No. 28): Do not block the cooling fins and ventilation area on the back, as this could cause thermal throttling or reduce service life.
- Expansion bay location (Nos. 30/31): The data link expansion bay area can be accessed using the expansion bay cover and bay cover switch. It is used to install an external data link or other expansion modules. For details about its structure and port definitions, see Section 7.1, Data Link Expansion Instructions.
Use and Maintenance Recommendations
- Before connecting or disconnecting ports, try to confirm that the mission is not at a critical stage to avoid interrupting critical links through accidental operation; replace the silicone port dust covers (Nos. 38 and 39) after use.
- Regularly check the ports on the side and back for dust, corrosion, or looseness, and check that the expansion bay cover (Nos. 30 and 31), antenna mounts, and other components are intact.
- When setting up a tripod, strap, or mount, ensure that the metal handle (No. 36) and strap attachment points bear the load appropriately to prevent device damage caused by a fall.
