PRECAUTIONS

UNBOXING WARNING

For the safety and steady operation of drones during assembly and calibration, please make sure all parameters are at the proper values before takeoff.

INSPECTIONS BEFORE TAKEOFF

Please carry out proper debugging and checks on every part of the drone Any minor neglect may result in severe damages or accidents.

FRAME CHECK

1. Before power on the system, please check on the appearance and condition of the mechanical parts and propellers. If there are stains and cracks on the propellers, please replace them with new ones. Make sure: the rotation direction of the propellers are correct; propellers are tightened; no interference in rotation when turning them by hand.
2. Please make sure that: the motor installation is tight. If it is not loose, stop flying and fix the motor installation with appropriate tools; there is no jamming with the motor when rotated by hand; the motor coil is clean; and there is no obvious bend with the shaft.
3. Please make sure the frame is firm and the screws are not loose.
4. Please make sure the battery is installed correctly, and it is sufficiently charged.
5. Please make sure the center of gravity of the UAV is correct.

GROUND STATION CHECK

1. To avoid damage, please make sure if series or parallel circuits are required when connecting batteries.
2. Unlock and pull the throttle slightly to check if the motors rotate normally after pairing.
3. Check on all the electronic devices and make sure they works normally.
4. Calibrate the magnetic compass as per the manual.
5. Test flight to see if the aircraft proceed as per the preset route or if the route requires any adjustment.
6. During the test flight, it is necessary to observe the status of the UAV lights and the number of GPS stars displayed by the ground station in advance to make a timely prediction.
7. Make sure the remote control distance of the flight is six to seven meters on the left and right sides of the UAV. Avoid standing directly behind the tail of the UAV.
8. After completion, power on and let GPS adapt to the weather, so that the UAV can adapt to the weather during operation and fly perfectly.
9. Before take-off, the number of GPS stars must be 17 or more, and make sure the surrounding conditions are favourable for take-off.

IN FLIGHT

1. The pilot must always pay attention to the UAV’s attitude, flight time, aircraft position and other important information.
2. When flying at a distance, the security person is required to report the real time status of the UAV through the intercom.
3. It is necessary to ensure that the UAV has enough power to return safely.
4. When flying beyond the visual range, it is necessary to closely monitor the UAV attitude, altitude, speed, battery voltage, number of GPS satellites and other important information displayed in the ground station.
5. After takeoff, pay attention to the flight status of the UAV, grasp the flight data of the UAV in real time, and ensure that the flight data indicators are in good condition. 6.If the UAV encounters a major failure and inevitably crashes, it must first ensure the safety of personnel.

AFTER LANDING

1. After landing, ensure that the remote control is locked, and then cut off the power supply of the UAV.
2. Check the battery power. Inspect UAV appearance and equipment loaded.
3. Tidy up the equipment after the demonstration.

PRECAUTIONS

1. When debugging the UAV, it is necessary to ensure that the propeller is not installed on the motor (it is forbidden to debug the aircraft when the propeller is installed on the motor, otherwise accidents may occur).
2. Close takeoff is strictly prohibited. Keep a distance of more than 5 meters from the UAV when taking off.
3. It is strictly prohibited to suddenly push the throttle to take off to avoid uncontrollable accident.
4. It is strictly forbidden for non-test personnel to move the remote control to avoid accidents caused by misoperation.
5. Under NO circumstances should anyone touch the UAV in landing.
6. It is strictly prohibited to pick up the UAV when the propellers are rotating after the aircraft lands.
