Note: Only connect the battery cables to the drone when you are
ready to fly. Do not leave the battery connected for extended periods
of time when the drone is on the ground, as this may discharge the
batteries and cause irreparable damage. When connected and not
in flight, the eBee X will briefly move its ailerons up and down every
minute as a reminder that it is switched on.
Caution: With the drone powered on but not in flight, there is no air
flow to cool the camera and it will rapidly heat up. Take off as soon as
possible. Do not touch the hot camera.
As soon as the battery is connected the eBee X will perform an automatic self-
check of its sensors and acquire GNSS signals. Do not move the drone during
these tests. Pre-flight checks may last from a few seconds to several minutes in
the case of poor GNSS signal reception. As these satellite signals are required for
the checks to complete, be sure to place the eBee X outside with a clear view of
the sky.
Startup
process:
During the pre-flight checks the status LED will pulse blue. Once the pre-flight
checks are complete the eBee X will flip its ailerons up and down and the status
LED will turn solid green to indicate it is ready.
You can connect the drone to eMotion during the pre-flight checks. eMotion will
report the status of the checks.
