  • Page 3 Quick Start Guide Profile The AGRAS MG-1 (abbreviated as “MG-1”) is a battery-powered multirotor aircraft designed for agricultural applications in variety of environments and terrains, including fields, forests and orchards. It is dust-proof, water-proof (IP43 protection rating, IEC standard 60529) and made of anti-corrosive materials, allowing it to be rinsed clean. Built in is DJI’s industry-leading flight control system, providing three useful Operation Modes: Smart, Manual and Manual Plus. A microwave radar underneath the aircraft makes the MG-1 uniquely versatile across all sorts of terrain. The combined Altitude Stabilization System automatically maintains its distance from plants to ensure optimal spraying. The remote controller features a Spraying Status Panel decorated with intuitive icons and a range of controls for navigation, mode and spraying. While the MG-1 does all the hard work in the fields, you keep full control over it in the palm of your hands.

  • Page 9 4. Monitor Your Altitude: For the safety of full-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always fly at altitudes less than 164 feet (50 meters) or according to local laws and regulations. Visit http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc for more information on critical safety features such as No Fly Zones. Calibrating the Compass Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to do so may lead to unexpected flight behavior. 1. DO NOT attempt to calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, including areas near massive metal objects, parking lots, underground steel reinforcements or under bridges. 2. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials, such as keys and mobile phones, with you during compass calibration. 3. The compass should always be calibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces. 4. If the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. 5. If the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate. Flying Considerations 1. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain (precipitation rate exceeding 25 mm or 0.98 inches in 12 hours), high winds exceeding 17 mph (28 kph), fog, snow and lightning. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including near mobile phone base stations and radio transmission towers. 4. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying over 6,560 feet (2 km) above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 5. The aircraft cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth’s polar regions. 6. Ensure that there is a strong GPS signal in the Smart or Manual Plus operation mode. P-Mode The aircraft uses GPS to pinpoint its position and stabilize flight. The Return-to-Home feature is available. To enable P-mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to “P”. © 2016 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Clean the aircraft and remote controller after applying the pesticide. 5. Effective use of pesticides relies on pesticide density, spray rate, spray distance, aircraft speed, wind speed and wind direction. Consider all factors when using pesticides, but NEVER compromise the safety of people, animals and the environment in doing so. 6. DO NOT contaminate rivers and sources of drinking water. It is important to understand basic flight guidelines, for the safety of both you and those around you. Do not forget to read the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines. © 2016 DJI All Rights Reserved.

When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3 seconds. (In M-mode, when “M” is set as Manual mode in the PC Assistant, use method 1 to stop the motors.) Throttle Stick Take off immediately after the motors are spinning, or else the aircraft may drift and injure nearby people. Rotating propellers can be dangerous. DO NOT start the motors in narrow spaces or when there are people nearby. Always keep your hands on the remote controller when the motors are spinning. Never stop the motors mid-flight unless in emergency situations when doing so can reduce the risk of damage or injury. After landing, power off the aircraft before turning off the remote controller. Disconnect the cable from the XT90 port and then the battery communication port. © 2016 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Select the Route Press Back Left Button C1 or Back Right Button C2 on the remote controller to select the operating pattern. Press Back Left Button C1 for Route L and Back Left Button C2 for Route R. The Orientation LED on the Spraying Status Panel will blink to show that the selection has been made. The default route pattern is Route R, if no selection has been made. 3. Adjust the Aircraft Altitude Adjust the aircraft altitude to the desired altitude by using the throttle stick before entering Smart Operation Mode, and the Altitude Stabilization System will start working automatically and maintain the spraying distance between the aircraft and the vegetation. Instructions: a. Fly the aircraft above the vegetation and adjust the spraying distance between the aircraft and the vegetation. b. Confirm the desired spraying distance by observing the Height LEDs on the Spraying Status Panel. The optimal detection range for the spraying distance is between 1.5 to 7 meters. Always operate the aircraft above vegetation within this range while adjusting aircraft altitude. Ideal spraying distance should fall within the working range (2-3.5 meters) for altitude stabilization. Refer to the User Manual for more information about the working conditions of the Altitude Stabilization System. © 2016 DJI All Rights Reserved.
