Ensure the physical switch is set to “charge” 2. Plug in the batteries 1. Green blinking → charging in progress 2. Green solid → Charged 3. Orange solid → waiting to charge next (only 2 at as time) 4. Red solid -\> Error (reseat battery, restart charger) 5. Purple solid -\> Battery too hot or too cold for charging 3. Connect the charger output cables to the AC/DC converter brick and power it from the wall 4. Once the batteries are charged, the charger will continuously top them up. Do not leave the batteries in the charger without having power from the wall, as this may discharge them. **Note**: - **Always use batteries in pairs** WingtraRay Li-Ion batteries should aways be used in pairs. This results in the batteries aging at the same rate and minimizes the chance of the drone triggering RTH due to battery health differences. Check laser markings on the front of the battery: a pair is indicated by two batteries "**A**" and "**B**" sharing the same sequence number ("1234**A**" and "1234**B**" ). - **Do not keep batteries in the drone** Even if powered off, the batteries can deep discharge if left in the drone for a prolonged period of time. **Trouble shooting when getting an error (red solid)** - Replug battery - Repower charger - Email [support@wingtra.com](mailto:support@wingtra.com) if it doesn't solve the issue ### Keep your batteries healthy **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd8Vi35VT4rl9uJAreMqb6US6_8s107X2LWDyZ95N3kw3pe3AIntuuRgePAmMDLBW8y0bnU5y2-tussieZZfNzRSJDwshZjuFa6cQLoIi_A-rM1m7PAlm6cwDnQx8kIB-HTDWLl?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)**  ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXevWYzkNmibxwNovi3gT4W9D_uyY5VAqHPfCh-WA-FIGrGPfGWaQ2q32qVZmiT7i5KJTepGje1k63nEiHjjw6ec1fZvgZYOj6wjdNW4OSz7UAlzrbZ3I8mf5wnjE_rFfiuUITfgHg?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)  ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeB-DUMPVzVLpDeu3i-pzYtQ8iEgXKZbZWROt2ltYT2dircmcMaf2lhGsQQmXnMYuIl18kexdrQkmiM43sm4YdtBxs4V22Yel1fV4RBpILofblgzKyYSXktjMKJJrbIbQ9XWkys?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) 1. Do not expose them to sun 2. Before flying, keep them at a moderate temperature 3. For longer storage, keep them at room temperature. Use the charger’s “storage” mode to bring the state of charge to the ideal storage level #### Battery & charging recommendations - Flight performance drops when batteries are too cold or hot. WingtraRAY prevents takeoff if battery temperature is below 10°C or above 45°C. Avoid exposing batteries to warm environments and direct sunlight (use the nose cone to provide shade). Keep in mind: powering the drone for long periods of time before takeoff heats the batteries. - For longest life, store batteries between –20°C and +25°C; high temps shorten longevity. - High humidity also reduces battery lifespan—keep below 75% RH. - High state-of-charge during storage reduces battery life. If not flying within 7 days, use the charger’s “storage mode” to set ideal charge. - Don’t leave batteries on a powered charger long-term—this keeps them topped up but shortens life. - Don’t leave batteries on an unpowered charger—it will discharge them and cause permanent damage. - Don’t leave batteries connected to the drone when not in use—over-discharge can cause irreversible damage. - After 3+ months of storage, run an activation cycle to prevent damage and improve SOC accuracy: fully charge, then discharge via “storage mode” using the WingtraRAY charger. #### **Install the parachute add-on (optional)** **Note:** refer to the following article to  install the parachute add-on in WingtraRAY: [Wingtra Parachute Guide](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/parachute-safety-guide?hsLang=en) ### **3.

When using "terrain following", make sure the box is ticked, especially when flying over hilly terrain 2. "Height above ground" and "Ground sampling distance": define at what height your drone should fly to get the required GSD ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfdkTolBwcMAxFVQc9nso_TFYlahebxAeTQ5NKBcHu2rNle_T6BEaFz5hhMa5Ol0XikJYhi9F-l1QS-FevOS6XY6N6ytb8b4RHv9GNMN5tLRuEhvzSeUjEk-3GMv8ItbID2MVLy3g?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) **Optional** 1. "Flight direction": set the angle of your flight direction, if possible perpendicular to the wind direction 2. "Side overlap" and "front overlap" is based on percentage, and \>60% is recommended (consult [knowledge.wingtra.com](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/custom-side-overlap?hsLang=en) for more detailed recommendations) 1. ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdPPYrc9NTcA-4qSMJfy9gKpOuUuIIwLdbtDLRqKsN0bh2E44IK1VEJ8c3rq_HSk6bAI-0dE5RqQDUbXEJjbHQ6a052i1nFr4Kf_rnRUQ96qnV7qGfAIrJ5dQx8C2fIbgg8rHHMLA?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) #### **Optional "corridor" parameters** 1. Define the corridor width 2. Switch start and end point and turn flight direction 90°, e.g., if the terrain is steep ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe3omvMcUDbqTT_iqAWvBzMjjDlvr_v9IY7MFCP8U9GzBOkbI2GP3fm60-cuinNN3x8emh9wybiaeja0Zk-UFR1hBVD3O2vG9s-TBOkiNhOE3HfXEuO7enb5ywZv99Jvj3C5XMS?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) #### Adjust safety parameters Under the “Geobarrier” tab you can find safety parameters and geobarrier settings ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcMASPq_9biMV0JMrsm8bujewduvBLDyaF_qKWwGQ2Fjp7mM7m5rK692Imu1tZ-bnp8M8Evl_h-yAhVrosDiZw_ttwsrQVjwS_dHTaIrhlR0nMGoDm_GjnTDD_v47RWALY_9T-kyQ?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) #### Min. and max. planning height above ground These parameters define the minimum and maximum height above ground for the flight of the drone. If the drone cannot fly within these parameters, take off will be denied. Sections where these safety parameters cannot be respected will be highlighted as errors. Recommended minimum height is 10 m (30 ft) higher than the tallest object in your area. #### Connection loss timeout This parameter defines the maximum time a telemetry connection can be lost until a flight is aborted and Return to Home (RTH) is triggered. Increase this value if you are flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) or if you are flying in environments where the telemetry connection cannot be maintained (e.g. due to the topography of the area of operation). The drone will still collect data, if the telemetry connection is lost during the flight. However, the user interface in Wingtra App will not be updated in real time. #### Safe Return To Home (RTH) The drone will fly home on a safe path. This may not be a direct path to home, depending on the planned mission or topography of the area of operation. Safe RTH is triggered if: 1. The drone flies beyond your geobarrier 2. The connection between operator and drone is lost 3. Battery gets low   #### Adjust geobarrier **Geobarrier type: Circle** This type of geobarrier confines the drone's flight area to a circle with the home point at the center. If the drone crosses this geobarrier, the Return to Home command is triggered automatically. The dimension of this geobarrier type may be adjusted with the radius, measuring the distance from the home point to the geobarrier. ![geofence\_1](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hubfs/geofence_1.svg) **Geobarrier type: Polygon** This type of geobarrier confines the drone's flight area to a polygon shape. This shape may be modified by moving, adding or removing corner points. If the drone should cross this geobarrier, the Return to Home command is triggered automatically. ![geofence\_2](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hubfs/geofence_2.svg) ### 4. Field set-up (WingtraGROUND) [↑ Back to Top](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/getting-started-with-wingtraray#content_table) Refer to the following article to set up WingtraGROUND: [https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/wingtraground](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/wingtraground?hsLang=en) ### 5. Prepare for take-off [↑ Back to Top](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/getting-started-with-wingtraray#content_table) #### Set up your drone **First time set-up.** - With the drone lying flat in the box, insert the fin (landing gear) into the drone by sliding it in with an upward motion until you hear a click. - Insert the winglets by sliding them in – make sure to keep the inserts perpendicular to the wing. - With the nose off, grab the drone via the handle in the battery compartment and set it on the ground. - **Always use batteries in pairs** WingtraRay Li-Ion batteries should aways be used in pairs. This results in the batteries aging at the same rate and minimizes the chance of the drone triggering RTH due to battery health differences. Check laser markings on the top of the battery: a pair is indicated by two batteries "**A**" and "**B**" sharing the same sequence number ("1234**A**" and "1234**B**" ). ![image (33)](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%20(33).png?width=392&height=258&name=image%20(33).png) Very early production series batteries omitted the laser marking. We encourage the user to label/mark batteries in a way that enables them to keep them paired nonetheless. - Insert both batteries with the handles facing inwards, and lock them in by turning the twist latch perpendicular. - Power on the drone by pressing and holding the power button until you hear the power on sound, and put the nose on – simply put it in place, it holds with magnets. If you are equipped with a hardcase, you only have to remove the fin and the nose to put your drone away. **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe5U76xI8-sp8-q1RFFHSCHAyTc7uMbsSOMuv0nkm4205F9IIJVFnTFSUTamCwtUjkQNELz2GZAajKpJPPl6dyjSoJ8XbG8HBwPZJNfW2M37z_6Y9QF_LS0EfPcSlvW9TqtYYRYtA?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** If you are using the drone bag, both the winglets, as well as the fin have to be removed for transport. **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc3DQRImSMIXVXKjXOZaNprOj3u4xqWnDfcYXWzpDXLT4TyMGTZg1DtTdOt_ezTzT6t2vJ_gjPm3PlkMo23KdzJTPRefADFYm50wj8WbNaZSTgq3KFj5L9yVcGGlh-7uzkaQTxavQ?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **Insert your payload** Insert the sensor with its WingtraRAY mount in the drone by aligning the bottom of the mount with the bottom of the payload slot in the drone, then press the top of the mount shut and secure it with the latch at the top. To remove or switch the payloads, simply unlock the latch and take the mount out – no tools needed.  #### Assemble your ground station **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdo8AmbE0mAJjT1s47tYf9dXKjUwW7XiW2mb3yvKrWxMSv-p-_4QmTE0wgDFgJlknaVDl-5snD0AGPnkMkw2XxlxQfyTwt2OSDl-n_gLV9IrcMu0ekdyV9qKXgPTB17ytZDjp9S?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** Ground stations are not interchangeable between drones. Make sure that the drone ID matches the ID of the ground station. The telemetry connection between drone and tablet operates on 2.4016 to 2.4776 GHz (EIRP: 19,8 dBm)." #### Measure the wind speed **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXevdBxMPYgP-GtBYRu5A4LGxlwlKbhm0BbRHiZqrQj5YG4sw1FbbIp5HSyD7G99YhAQTSqMEBS42GSDS1af3VI62fms-JUGvT4b8LMAto4XyGEhEKUyUWb82b19hz6vK8Pyb_Z1TA?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)**   ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf4MIuWCgAo0LiA00hohcy9tr1KG4AZyX_jvi4RDyLuBKjTJYV15qZaekUEgK7G9iSTL8uNNNpfraYLOoyLGU2XKUU7sv440RdMEHjNrTaZu4hzfyY0xaCSAWAgGtsjZSmeTkuW1Q?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)   ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcGnAE5_4ul6XiMKMME3PwR1zD8OQlJRb58BDWmlGZAFPpkiBujYFSjy31rLeVlpnoBbfsvUWu-VP7dXRQFCu4JLM5PMTPMQP209VzQxt_rji4rPbhw6ZrzDd-ID3pwX_66SbLYug?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) Use the wind measurement tool to measure the wind speed. Don't measure the wind speed while standing behind big objects, e.g., buildings or trees. Raise the tool above your head to get the most accurate results. #### Drone tipping expectations In calm conditions, WingtraRAY lands smoothly on its tail. In windy conditions, the aircraft can tip over upon landing. Generally this is not a problem and damages rarely occur. | Measured on ground\* | Surface wind\*\* | **Tipping expectations** | | --- | --- | --- | | 0-5 m/s (0-11 mph) | 0-7 m/s (0-16 mph) | **Tippings rarely occur** | | 5-8 m/s (11-18 mph) | 7-10 m/s (16-22 mph) | **Tippings can occur** | | \>8 m/s (\>18 mph) | \>10 m/s (\>22 mph) | **Not recommended to fly** | \* As measured with the wind measurement tool from the pilot box—approx 2 m (7 ft) above the ground \*\* As referenced in most weather forecasts—approx 10-20 m (33-66 ft) above the ground #### Avoid obstacles Be aware that the obstacle clearance zone should correspond to the wind conditions. The stronger the wind, the farther from obstacles the drone should be. **Distance to objects in different wind conditions:** **\< 5 m/s (\< 11 mph) continuous wind speed** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc26juGQ2ckOa_j5kNlAdwHougqkheapoOZVTOyc_4QqNPnsoveeFWNQ9Uf-Ox8xvG-YhrkGKEZ-fIwSvCg1mLP6VUavxQbXIcpHHEfdJm6DaKku4W-dwlFRiwynwYo-1-niQUtyg?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **\> 5 m/s (\> 11 mph) continuous wind speed** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfQaoj7MISOBCVVdiaJOoR5wW9MlbyQ62gIJFTHqOmoWGM8QkyW5wtgBXcZOig0atjBqYJziuZ0CT-n9F8-ealI4s414AjZxetQWh4hoSpj3Hxy2I-6W_wo5LezA_N19AaCkNHTfg?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXddAYS5SCxSRw0ox6WPpSNrBsPu5-Hv6Yuoeb0sCu1SCgC1hYmxVHo51kJFbVTNVwtXUlP5ZBG6ZUZA4IIhpfMRkoGU6qFShwEa4kHzUbUJtxqwZs4vudJeYfLfonS_JDSz6Ky6uQ?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfGI-qT7F77-roRc1T6dd_82ATKTFWy0X-JST-vPjMuIVnoZqNFSIyZTxkeLuFzshTL_7pLtQVOnhlHoJnvizUb49UQQqHIVqdt6TtkP_10kzwr6c6pGCaAP_nYcICHB_HGpf06Ug?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **Generally, it is recommended to fly in open, obstacle-free areas.** When not keeping the recommended distance from objects, you risk crashing the drone because of drift or turbulence. Turbulence occurs close to tall buildings, cliffs, mountains and valleys. #### Take-off position in wind When placing the drone for take-off, make sure that it is positioned parallel to the wind direction. **Parallel to wind** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeCqzL2_5zT5odoIxuucO-ov3NCVX6W-L6ihs4hmS9SV5xqg50W3ur1tjvGzoTrOy-mePB1GmmRIqd_LaCH_Ntp53wcfRb6q4eg3Oc2Mt-OAijjPEY5Icie4OBsOhKfY3us-R0ozw?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **Perpendicular to wind** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfUnNAmUzl6zWJ_Tw_FVrPgiSG3YlVwCIZ4DTO8vi78sIDXGUxSBHTVGr-twUrscH7TD2uxmc_--26zOLVDkcoreOJktlSU5wpNx5t63PNIa8PXfvp88CisPkDPvGPrT998z03u?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)** **Prepare for take-off** **![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcsOySudLUgeUVDIT14frkmyTI9yzlI0cQOWMlOEZQ5LA1Ov7dj6tYlnK6iAezm-dFBxZyjOCe0qukSQ4h1vorM5jMoMrdLVof-B7mZksKu-XAYbfh5GTzFZhFJuBCX5GfDa2I_?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)**   ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfbU785v7WeRcpeFNBVH9YQN8N1pvXQoMSSpJtaEfL-XEQj8b_PL0qkKhb5nVs5GX-VaT-HqIxVz4v5hX_NGsjkBKgk3KBHQUqyTgsQ1T-pb6-OdQl3HvFckHtCkRKg7dinJurr6g?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)   ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc81XJQSVtn5M0ssyE41b5_CABjwnOFLZJJKpRVBO5c1pkz-om50YfD8P_7KLceEf1JRpoGNuoclUmSyl4j6ENvOYs9idSAnj96fOeBGNivzgazo2F317BGJLH6Cmvi4tz7PRGi?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g) 1. If not already mounted, insert the fin at the back of the drone by sliding it with an upwards motion until you hear a click. Holding battery handles or the motors, place the drone on the take-off point 2. Make sure the take-off point is a safe distance from people and obstacles 3. Place it on even ground, making sure it doesn't sink into mud and that the grass surrounding it is not too high Go through checklist and take off 1. Select the checklist 2. Follow the instructions 3. Once all the checklist items are green, press the button to take off ### 6. During the flight [↑ Back to Top](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/en/getting-started-with-wingtraray#content_table) #### **Stay alert** Observe your airspace during flight and take action if needed: 1. Return to home if it starts to rain or if an aircraft enters your airspace 2. Pause in cruise if you are unsure about the planned flight or need time to think 3. Pause in hover to reposition the drone for landing   ![](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/202003_quickstart_guide_-62-1.png?width=200&height=199&name=202003_quickstart_guide_-62-1.png)  ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc_c-O1RLCwCcWDth_27jxRoqPKTxq7hXWGNmqiTYf1iEAh-ZPtfustTG4g2CXp9xlopkmL4xrEawIhaNvEUcH-s3JEgGsRhDxgRXY2yqhyg_niH2Cz9uiYyE0_7GjV8MgPzY9KCw?key=3RLSnJtfAaY8KYFUwhdh9g)  ![](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/202003_quickstart_guide_-72-1.png?width=200&height=200&name=202003_quickstart_guide_-72-1.png)    #### Pausing and repositioning the drone during landing If your landing spot is not free, you can pause the drone during landing, reposition it, and land at another location: 1. Pause the landing and take control by pressing the pause button 2. Adjust position with the left/right/forward/back controls on the right side. “Forward” means “towards the camera.” 3. Adjust the altitude or turn WingtraRAY around its axis with the controls on the left side (up/down/turning). 4. Once the drone is repositioned, press the Land button to land at the current location (marked in red in the screenshot below). ![](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-04-2026-09-34-25-8390-AM.png?width=537&height=322&name=image-png-Feb-04-2026-09-34-25-8390-AM.png) The drone should never be landed using the arrow-down button on the left-side control, as this will disable many of the automated algorithms that ensure a safe landing (e.g., wind gust detection, tipping prevention). #### Parachute add-on WingtraRAY can be equipped with a parachute add-on. If all other safety measures fail, the parachute will deploy if: - The drone goes over the geobarrier and RTH fails - Both batteries fail - You trigger it manually with the remote The parachute is designed to enable operations over people in regions where an approval is available, and has been tested to ensure the safety of the people on the ground, should the drone land on a populated area or vehicles. It does not ensure the drone will not sustain damages. #### Emergency shut-off ![emergency\_1](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hubfs/emergency_1.svg)  ![](https://knowledge.wingtra.com/hs-fs/hubfs/202003_quickstart_guide_-65.png?width=244&height=243&name=202003_quickstart_guide_-65.png) As the last option, in dangerous situations, and if you’re not equipped with the parachute it is possible to immediately switch off the motors of the drone at any time in-flight. 1. Press the red button with a cross 2. Slide to confirm in the Emergency shut-off screen Careful! Emergency shut-off cuts the motors instantly, and the drone will fall on the ground. We hope that you never need to use this feature. ### 7.
