02 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 OPERATION

1. Always obey the manual when using the system.
2. It is the operator's responsibility to follow the laws that regulate the use
of UAVs for the desired flying area. Flying out of pilot's sight might be
prohibited depending on the local laws, please inform yourself.
The distance between the pilot and the UAV should never exceed 2 km
(1.24 mi).
3. Always keep a safe distance to spinning rotors of at least 10 m (33 ft) to
avoid risk of injury and damage of property.
4. Always keep a safe distance between the UAV and humans at any time
to avoid any personal injury in the event of a crash.
5. In case of an emergency the pilot must be able to manually fly the UAV
in assisted flight.
6. Do not fly or take off close to objects generating magnetic/electroma-
gnetic fields (power lines, generators, antennas, transformers, etc.) as it
may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or the magnetic field sensors.
7. Do not fly or take off close to objects containing large amounts of metal
or carbon fiber (parking decks, buildings of reinforced concrete, ships,
cars or other machines) as it may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or
the magnetic field sensors.
8. Always ensure proper GPS coverage of the UAV. Do not fly in narrow
canyons as it may cause malfunction of the GPS and/or the magnetic
field sensors.
9. Make sure no large obstacles (buildings, trees, mountains, etc.) or
objects generating or blocking electro-magnetic radiation (antennas,
fences, power lines, etc.) are between the transmitter/GCS and the UAV
during the whole time of operation.
10. The Trinity must not be operated
• at temperatures below -12 °C (10.4 °F) and above 50 °C (122 °F).
• in rain or snowfall.
• at windspeeds above 9 m/s (17.5 kn) (See chapter 3.1.). Please note
10 Trinity F90+ user manual
that the wind speed on the ground is always less than the wind
speed at flight altitude.
11. Transportation of the system is only recommended in the original
Quantum-Systems transportation box.
12. The use of third party products, such as batteries, chargers, ground
modems, Payloads, RC transmitters and ground control stations, which
were not provided by Quantum-Systems, is prohibited. Any modificati-
on to the system is prohibited unless expressly authorized by Quantum-
Systems or an authorized reseller.
13. Due to the risk of an electric shock, do not open any Quantum-
Systems products. For repair and maintenance work always contact your
reseller (exceptions see chapter 13).
14. Each operator is responsible for ensuring the airworthiness of the UAV.
15. The UAV does not detect and avoid obstacles. Every operator is self
responsible to plan a flight path that is free of obstacles.
16. Do not fly without a properly attached payload compartment.

2.2 BATTERY SAFETY

To avoid fire, serious injury and property damage observe the following safety
guidelines when using, charging or storing the UAV battery pack. The UAV
battery pack is based on Murata / Sony Konion US18650VTC6 - 3120mAh,
3,6V - 3,7V.

2.2.1 Battery handling

1. Do not use any battery other than the original UAV battery pack by
Quantum-Systems.
2. Do not use or charge swollen, leaky, or damaged batteries. Do not use
a battery that was involved in a crash or any kind of heavy impact.
3. For flying the temperature of the battery must be at least 25 °C (77 °F).
