Precaution

• The FAC camera is a piece of precision electronics with corrosion-resistant materials which allow for use in harsh marine environments. As with any marine equipment, trouble-free and lasting operations depend on proper attention and maintenance of the equipment.
• When taking off or landing, slowly proceed to avoid damage to the camera which can cause by the huge impact when contacting the surface at high speeds. Drop or crash directly into the water from above will result in significant damage to the drone and the camera.
• After using in seawater, soak and rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water before the seawater dries out.
• If seawater or other sediments form on the camera, soak thoroughly with fresh water and clean all sediments on the camera before use. For more information, check the drone’s “Maintenance manual”.
