USE AND CARE OF THE PRODUCT CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY
The Drone Pilot shall only use the «Tundra Drone Automoving light for DJI
Mavic 2» (herafter Product) as the described in this manual.
Drones, aircrafts, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (hereafter aircraft or
drone) mounted with the Product from Tundra Drone AS (herafter Tundra Drone)
shall only be used in accordance with the regulations for drone flying in the
country in which the Drone Pilot operates. The Drone Pilot must ensure that
the drone, where the Product is mounted, is insured at all times with
statutory liability insurance, if required by national law in the country
where operating the aircraft.
The Drone Pilot understands that the use of a Product from Tundra Drone on
drones may entail a higher risk due to the fact that mounting of additional
drone equipment on the drone may affect the performance of the drone itself,
in both short and long term. It is therefore recommended that the Drone Pilot
performs more frequent maintenance of the drone than the drone manufacturer’s
recommendations, to ensure that performance is not reduced. Furthermore,
additional drone equipment mounted to the drone may increase the likelihood
that weather and other conditions may affect the drone’s flight
characteristics. The Drone Pilot understands that this constitutes conditions
that the Drone Pilot must be especially careful with when flying the drone.
The Drone Pilot must read and understand the user manuals for both the drone
and the Product from Tundra Drone before the Product is used, and then carry
out their own training with these in a calm, delimited and safe area, before
the Drone Pilot takes the Product from Tundra Drone into ordinary use.
Negligent use of drones with mounted drone equipment may lead to crashes,
accidents or other dangers to the environment and people. If an incident as
mentioned causes damage or death to people and animals, or damage to
buildings, other physical objects or surroundings, and/or economic loss or
damage, the Drone Pilot agrees that the Drone Pilot cannot hold Tundra Drone
liable for damages, and the Drone Pilot waives the right to pursue Tundra
Drone via legal action in any country. Should claims be made against Tundra
Drone as a result of damage or loss that occurs when the Product is used by
the Drone Pilot, or for breach of public and private regulations and permits,
the Drone Pilot is obliged to indemnify Tundra Drone. This also applies if the
damage occurs to a third party.

CHARGING THE AUTOMOVING LIGHT BATTERY
Use the provided battery charger kit to fully charge the Automoving light
Battery before first use. Charging time for empty battery is up to 2 hours
.
Connect the Automoving light Battery to the Battery charger adapter.
Slide the battery forward to connect it to the Battery charger adapter.
Make sure the battery is mounted securely and that the battery latch has
clicked into place.
Connect the AC power adapter to the Battery charger adapter.
Connect the AC power adapter to a power source (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz). The AC
power adapter will display a red LED light when charging. The strobe on the
battery will flash while charging.
The Automoving light battery is fully charged when the green LED light is
turned on. Disconnect the AC power adapter from the power source and
disconnect the Battery charger adapter from the Automoving light Battery when
the battery is fully charged.
Charging time: 2 hours.
- DO NOT charge an Automoving light Battery immediately after flight as the temperature may be too high. Wait until the battery cools down to room temperature before charging again.
- The ideal charging temperature is 22o to 28o C (71.6o to 82.4o F).
- The Automoving light Battery charging hub (not included) can charge up to four batteries.
PREPARE THE DJI REMOTE CONTROLLER’S DJI GO 4-APP BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT
- Connect your smart phone to the DJI Mavic 2 Remote controller and turn ON the Remote controller.
- Open the DJI GO 4-app from your smart phone.
- Go to setting by tapping (General settings button) 4
- Tap on the (Remote Controller Settings button)
- Tap on the menu on the right side of «C2» and «scroll» up till you find the «Turn on/off Head LEDs» option; Tap on that to program this function to the «C2» button.
- You have now successfully prepared the DJI GO 4-app for first flight with the Automoving light.
HOW TO USE THE DJI REMOTE CONTROLLER WITH THE AUTOMOVING LIGHT
- Prepare the DJI Mavic 2 aircraft for flight.
- Power up the aircraft and make sure that the DJI GO 4-app connects to the aircraft.
- Turn ON/OFF the aircraft’s front LEDs by pressing «C2» button on the DJI Remote controller. The Automoving light will then be turned «ON/OFF» in sync with the aircraft’s front LEDs being turned ON/OFF.
Do NOT turn ON the aircraft’s front LEDs if the aircraft’s propellers are not
rotating. Lack of additional cooling from the aircraft’s propellers may cause
the Automoving light to overheat and malfunction.
PREPARE THE AUTOMOVING LIGHT AND MOUNT TRACKING MARKS TO THE AIRCRAFT’S
CAMERA BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT
Clean the surface on the aircraft’s camera before mounting the tracking marks.
Avoid using too strong detergents as it may cause damage to the aircrafts
painting.
Do not use too much pressure when mounting the tracking marks, to avoid
damaging the aircraft´s camera gimbal mechanism.
MOUNT THE AUTOMOVING LIGHT ON THE AIRCRAFT AND PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF
Prepare the aircraft for flight. Follow instructions in your aircraft’s user
manual.
Make sure the red and green tracking marks are mounted before you proceed.
Place the Automoving light unit and the aircraft next to each other. Use one
hand to lift the aircraft and one hand to lift the Automoving light unit
.
Lift the aircraft from the ground with one hand and lift the Automoving light
unit with your other hand.
Position the Automoving light unit below the aircraft.
Hold the Automoving light unit in a 45-degree angle and slide it above the
aircraft’s body above the rear aircraft arm. While doing this, simultaneously
start to change the angle of the Automoving light unit so that it is
positioned in parallel with the aircraft’s body at the end of the sliding
movement.
Correctly mounted.
Place the aircraft on the ground with the Automoving light mounted, to prepare
for the mounting of the battery.
Insert the Automoving light Battery into the Automoving light’s battery slots
.
Slide the battery forwards to the Automoving light’s battery compartment.
Make sure the battery is mounted securely and that the battery latches have
clicked into place.
The image on the left illustrates a correctly mounted battery. When correctly mounted, there should be no «GAP» between the battery and the battery connector on the Automoving light unit. The Automoving light’s Battery is used to securely mount and lock the Automoving light unit to the aircraft.
Now mount the Automoving light’s cable and cover the aircraft’s right foot
front LED with the cable plug that contains a light sensor. This is easy to do
quickly.
Lift the aircraft’s front leg and place the cable plug at the bottom with the
cap facing upwards.
Slide the cable plug upwards until it reaches the front LED.
Slightly lift the edge of the cap to be able to slide the cable plug fully
above the front LED.
Slide it upwards until it fully covers the aircraft’s front LED.
Loosen the Velcro that is attached to the cable.
Fasten the cable below the drone’s arm with the Velcro. Connect the USB C
connector to the USB C port on the Automoving Light.
Make sure the aircraft´s propellers are not touching the cable or the Velcro
after attaching them below the drone’s arm.
The Automoving light is now completely and securely mounted on the aircraft.
To start up the Automoving light hold the power button on the battery down for
about 3 seconds. The battery will start with indicating charge level in four
steps where 1 flash is empty and 4 flashes is full. After 5 seconds the
battery will start to flash continuously in 1Hz.
The floodlight LED will flash once on startup and once more when ready for
use. Boot-up time is about 90 seconds.
Note : Booting time will be reduced with a planned software update
.
Turn on the aircraft.
Turn on the aircraft’s Remote controller and make sure it connects to the
aircraft.
Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in DJI GO 4-app displays «Ready to Go».
Turn on the aircraft’s front LEDs with the Remote controller’s «C2» button.
The front LED is turned on.
You are now ready for take-off! Fly safely!
Do not look directly at the floodlight LED outlet when the light is turned on. It can harm or cause permanent damage to human eyes! Please use with caution.
Tip : When controlling the aircraft camera’s tilt with the «Gimbal Dial», the Automoving light automatically follows the camera’s tilt angle, for optimal illumination.
Do not use the «Gimbal Dial» when the aircraft is on the ground, during takeoff and when landing.
