Product Usage Cautions

When flying, the fast rotating propellers of S800 may cause serious damage(s) and injuries. 

Therefore, please fly with a high safety in mind at all time. 

Mount Attention

 Mount GPS with a bracket, to avoid interference from the power board of center frame.

 For IMU position, make sure the arrow direction marking is pointing to the aircraft nose.

 The receiver is recommended strongly to be installed under the bottom board of center 

frame, and the head of antenna is downward without any obstacle. The aircraft will be out of 

control, since the wireless signal may be lost by the obstacle.

 Mount the arms correctly.

Center frame Arm

 For removing screws in the bottom board, please proceed with cautious, avoiding 

damages. Do not remove any other screws fixed with glue. 

 Notice matching the indications is very important, please pay attention to them.

Flight Attention

 With DJI WKM autopilot system, make sure the output signal of WKM F1~F2 and M1~M6 are 

all normal, to avoid serious damage(s) and injuries.

 Keep flying multi-rotor a distance from people, building, high-voltage lines, etc.

 Make sure to use 6S LiPo power battery.

 Do not get close to or touch the working motors and propellers, which will cause serious 

injury.

 Do not over load the multi-rotor.

 Make sure the propellers and the motors are installed correctly and firmly before flying.

 Make sure all parts of S800 are in good condition before each flight. Do not fly with wore or 

broken parts.

 Strongly recommend you use DJI parts as much as possible.

Others

 If you have any problem you cannot solve, please contact agents or DJI customer service.

Mount Center Frame

Remove Screws Fix Screws

Step1: Mount IMU module into IMU position in the center frame. Ensure IMU casing is out of touch the 

top board edge, as vibration can cause IMU mal-function.

Step2: Please mount DJI Autopilot System parts onto the bottom board (not including GPS modules).

Please remove all the screws from the bottom board first if necessary.

Step3: Connect Autopilot System and receiver. Please refer to DJI WKM User Manual for details.

Step4: Please mount the screws to bottom board, and use adequate screw glue.

Step5: Mount the GPS on the top board with a bracket.

Step6: Configure Autopilot System. Please refer to DJI WKM User Manual.

Notices:

 Make sure to mount the IMU module at the IMU position first.

 Mount the GPS with a bracket, to avoid interference from center frame power board.

 Ensure the USB port of the M.C. outwards for easy access.

 Please wire neatly. Make sure wires will not be cut by the edge of frames. 

Tips:
