Installation Step Before you start the installation, make sure to update your device using the desktop application. Place the drone with the battery facing towards you and unfold its arms Caution Follow installation instructions carefully. Systems that are not installed correctly may interfere with the spinning rotors.
Page 11
Installation Step Clean the upper surface of the drone, where the sticker should be placed using the alcohol pad. Remove adhesive backing and hold stamp to prepare placement. Take the placement stamp and align the stamp’s notch with the middle fin on the rear grate of the Mavic 3 (see photo).
Page 12
Installation Step Slide the placement stamp along the surface of the rear grate, pointed at an upward angle, being careful not to let the adhesive surface touch anything at this point. Continue sliding until you reach the end. This is the final attachment point. Press firmly down on the adhesive stamp from all surface area, being careful to create a strong bond.

Page 24
System Operation Step To activate the system, verify that the system is on a level surface and turn the power switch to the ON position. If it is already ON, turn it OFF and then ON again. A starting sequence initiates, and the LED turns green and then yellow for about 20 seconds.
Page 25
System Operation Step The system is now ready for flight. After first installation and when required, perform Mavic compass calibration. RC link verification - press the RC trigger switch and verify that the system LED blinks in yellow and/ or blue. When releasing the button make sure it returns to solid blue.
Page 26
System Operation Step After landing, the system autonomously disarms, the LED turns blue a few seconds after rotors stop and two beeps will sound. Turn off the rotors and switch the SafeAir’s power switch to the OFF position before moving the drone. As a precaution, always turn the system off before Warning moving it.

Deployment The SafeAir Mavic 3 includes an Autonomous Triggering System (ATS) that identifies most of the known critical failures and triggers the system autonomously. Should an emergency situation occur, the system deploys the parachute and stops the rotors. The system deploys the parachute, stops the rotors and sounds an audio-warning buzzer to alert bystanders of the falling drone.
