Troubleshooting Your Payload Release Button

If your Aeroo Pro’s payload release button isn't responding, don't worry — it's often a quick adjustment or update to get everything working perfectly. 

 

Step 1: Check That the Drone is Ready to Fly

The payload release system only works when the drone is fully connected and in a "Ready to Fly" state.

  • Power on the drone, remote, and Aeroo Fly app. 
  • Check the app for a "Ready to Fly" status at the top of the screen.

 

Step 2: Update Your Firmware

We've added an update to make the payload button even more responsive. 

Here’s how to check and update: 

  1. Connect to a stable Wi-Fi connection (home internet is best).
  2. Open the Aeroo Fly app.
  3. Go to Settings -> General Purpose -> Version.
  4. Check the firmware version and apply any available updates.

 

Tip: Leave 20–25 minutes for the update to complete. It's normal for the drone to beep and the progress bar to pause briefly during this process. 

 

Step 3: Press the Button Correctly

When using the physical button on the remote:

  • A quick press works best 
  • Holding it down too long may prevent the release system from activating.

 

With these steps, your Aeroo Pro will be ready to drop payloads with ease.
