Page 17: Preparing For Flight
Preparing for Flight Before every flight, it is important to prepare your drone properly. This section is presented in two sections: 1. Preparation before your first flight (or when the drone is more than 200km from its last flight location) 2. - Page 18 Compass Calibration Process Compass Calibration is performed with the drone outdoors and away from any sources of magnetic interference such as metal structures, radio masts or mobile phones. 1. Place the drone on a horizontal surface. Remove propellers and accessories. Power on the controller then the drone.
- Page 19 Drones are fun to fly, but they are not toys. Be a responsible pilot and prepare for your flight properly to fly safely and get the most out of your Gannet Pro / Pro+, follow this checklist before every flight.
- Page 20 Batteries The Gannet Pro / Pro+ has two batteries required for operation. One battery powers the drone, the other powers the drone remote controller. It is important to charge the batteries before use and install them correctly. DO NOT charge the remote control with a charger over 5.5V.
- Page 21 The batteries used in the Gannet Pro / Pro+ is a LiHV battery. LiPo Batteries should not be left unattended with charging. Place the LiPo battery on a concrete floor or a metal tray when charging.
- Page 22 Checking Battery Voltage Gannet supplies a battery checker with the Gannet Pro / Pro+. The battery checker will check the voltage of the battery and the voltage of each cell in the battery. Plug the balancer cable of the battery into the battery tester. The tester will BEEP, and then show the total voltage of the battery, followed by the voltage of each cell.
