Choose a place with a wide view to set up the Dragon Fish GNSS base station and mark it (align the center of the tripod with the center of the mark point) so that the base station can be accurately reset after being moved.

1. Open the tripod, stretch the three telescopic rods to a suitable length, and then tighten the knob to ensure that the tripod is stable.
   

2. Install the base station body to the tripod and tighten the lock nut on the body.
   

3. Install the antenna on the tripod and connect the antenna feeder to the base station antenna port.

Note:

• After the tripod is leveled, do not change the position and angle of the tripod or base station, otherwise, you need to level it again.

• The installation environment of the base station requires a wide field of vision and ensures that there are no obstacles (trees, buildings) above 15° around the base station antenna to avoid GNSS signals from being absorbed or blocked.

• The installation environment of the base station should be at least 200 m away from high-power radio sources (such as TV stations, microwave stations, etc.), and at least
  50 m away from high-voltage transmission lines to avoid electromagnetic field interference to GNSS signals.

• There should be no large area of water or objects that strongly interfere with satellite signal reception near the environment where the base station is installed, in order to
  reduce the impact of multipath effects.

• During the mission of the aircraft, the base station must not be moved, otherwise, it may disconnect from the aircraft and cause unnecessary losses.

Use Dragon Fish GNSS base station
1. Adjust the base station to a suitable height.
2. Power on the base station and wait for the system to complete initialization.
3. Power on the remote controller and the aircraft, and make sure that Autel Voyager is running.
4. Enter the mission flight interface, click the gear icon in the upper right corner, enter the settings menu, click “remote control”, and confirm that the “use base station connection” option is turned on. 5. Confirm that the base station RTK indicator is green, indicating that the base station RTK is working properly. Enter the Autel Voyager App mission flight interface and
check that “the remote controller is connected to the aircraft” should be displayed in the upper left status bar. Check that the RTK status in the upper right status bar is FIX,
which means the aircraft has entered RTK positioning mode.
Firmware upgrade (Is there a firmware upgrade?) How to upgrade

Firmware upgrade (Is there a firmware upgrade?) How to upgrade base station firmware
1. Make sure that the entire UAV system (including aircraft, base station, and ground station) is turned on and connected normally.
2. Run the Autel Voyager App, enter the “Settings” interface, click “Software Update -> UAV Firmware”, and complete the upgrade operation of the entire system according
to the system prompts. In order to ensure the reliability of the UAV system, it is not recommended to upgrade only a certain module separately. The firmware package should be used for the overall upgrade. The system will automatically recognize whether each module version matches and decide whether to upgrade it.
