  • Page 14: Safety Notices

    Flyability is not responsible for any damages to the Configurable RC caused through improper use. DO NOT use any other battery other than those supplied by Flyability. Use of other batteries may damage the product and/or affect its performance. DO NOT bend the RC Cable though a radius smaller than 1cm and the Module Cable through a radius smaller than 7cm.
  • Page 15: Environmental Awareness

    The Antenna Module emits the highest level of radiation, perpendicular to the cables feeding the unit. To ensure the best performance, Flyability recommends using the system in a dry en- vironment, with a minimum of 5cm between the antennas and surrounding surfaces. If the an- tenna module is in direct contact with metallic structures, the quality of the signal and range can be degraded.
  • Page 16: Use

    ELIOS Two configurations are possible: Configurable RC with Removeable Antennas Configurable RC with Range Extender In both configurations, do not turn on the Configurable RC before completing the following setting- up procedures. Not following these guidelines can seriously damage the Configurable RC and de- crease the performance of the product.
  • Page 17: Configuration With Range Extender

    ELIOS ONFIGURATION ANGE XTENDER Reminder: RC Cables MUST be connected before turning on the Configurable RC. Remove the connector caps from the cables and the Configurable RC. Connect the cables to the Configurable RC. Attach the Power Module to the surrounding environment or to yourself with the clip and leash. Deploy the Power Module Cable first avoiding any twists or knots.
  • Page 18: Checklist

    ELIOS HECKLIST Configurable RC and Removable Antennas: Check that the two antennas are properly mated to the Configurable RC. Check that the two antennas are orientated at 90° to each other. Check that a steady green status LED is shown on the Power Module prior to starting a mission.
  • Page 19: Trouble Shooting

    If a partially used battery is connected to the Power Module, the system is usable, however the battery state of charge estimation, as provided by the white LEDs, can be inaccurate. For this reason, Flyability recommends that a fully charged battery its used at the start of a mission.
  • Page 21: Maintenance

    The only user replaceable parts of the Range Extender are the 2m coaxial cables, the 20m coaxial ca- bles and the RC mounted antennas, all other replacements must be performed by Flyability. Please contact Flyability for part availability and installation guidelines.
