Troubleshooting

This chapter describes solutions for special problems.
6.2.1

Establishing a connection between the CTR and the UAV

The UAV and the CTR are pre-configured ex works.
Nevertheless, when the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV and the CTR are powered up for the first
time, the Status Display will show the Start Screen and it is necessary to set up the
connection between UAV and GCS.
If the UAV and the respective CTR have already been linked before, the UAV will
automatically connect to the CTR as soon as both are turned on. 
In some cases it may be necessary to establish the connection manually again.
Note: It saves some time to switch on the UAV first, so that the system check is being carried
out and then switch on the touchscreen tablet and after this the CTR.

Furthermore there may be situations which can not be foreseen.
6.2.2

Analyzing data link connection issues

In some cases the data link may be disturbed. If this happens please do the following:
1. Check that the antenna panel of the CTR is unfolded and oriented towards the UAV
and that there are no visible defects like cracks or breaks.
2. When performing a test, make sure that there are no disturbing (WiFi) networks in
the 2.4 GHz range. They will influence the results.
3. Use the Data Link Screen of the Status Display (see
information
4. If there is a persistent issue on one of the data links, it might be a defect either on
the UAV transmitter / receiver modules or on the CTR transmitter / receiver
116
screens) to check if an issue always occurs on the same link.
User Manual
If the UAV and the CTR do not automatically connect,
the Status Display will show the Start Screen. In this
case you have to establish the connection manually.
1. Push the ENT button of the Status Display (see
also chapter 4 Status Display).
You will see the screen to enter the
number (5-digit serial number of the
Serial
Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, printed on the top of the
UAV, above the battery compartment, for
example 31123). The first digit is highlighted
(see figure on the left).
2. Push ENT to activate the first digit.
3. Enter the first digit of the serial number by using
the arrow RIGHT/LEFT buttons to increase/
decrease the number.
RIGHT increases the number, LEFT decreases
it.
4. Push ENT to confirm the first digit.
The next digit can be entered.
5. Repeat this five times (for every digit)
Push ENT to confirm the serial number. 
