# Matters Need Attention

1. 

### The ability of penetrating of radio signal from 2.4GHz wireless data

- link is weak; please make sure the antenna of it is always visible to the ground end during the flight. Human body, trees, buildings or hills will stop the communication between air end and ground end.

2. 

### You’d better put the ground end at high place. This can gu arantee a good communication range.

3. 

### Make sure the antenna head of air end is erect down, and the antenna head of ground end is erect up. Make sure there is no obstacle between antennas; otherwise the communication range will be reduced.

4. 

### Ground end Link

- Ala rm red light on is distance alarm, red light off is safe. When it is on, you’d better return your aircraft.

5. 

### When ground end Link

- Alarm green light is off, this indicates the communication between ground end and air end is off, whatever the state of red lig ht.

6. 

### Make sure the driver is installed correctly.

7. 

### Please choose the right com port.

8. 

### Check out the power supply of wireless data

- links before use.

9. 

### Please close the DJI assistant software before open the ground station. Otherwise there will be port conflict.

10. 

### Make sure the distance between 2.4GHz ground end and air end is over 1.5m; the distance between 900MHz ground end and air end is over 5m.

11. 

### Use the right cable for connection.

12. 

### High voltage servos & FBL systems can drain the flight battery fast. Please make s ure your flight pack is sufficient for the flight time intended.

### (2)Altitude Offset Setting

 GIS database (Google EarthTM) is not precise, while Flight Path Mountain and other obstacle/building collision checking feature performed based on this database , which is not real

- time or up

- to

- date. Google EarthTM plug

- in is only for the purpose as a general landscape browser, for quick way points positioning without much safety guarantee.

 P ressure sensor is used for altitude sensing, leading the result varies ac cording to weather. Therefore, you might have different altitude values on the same location at different times. However, its relative height may be far from precise than absolute altitude information in GIS.



###  Due to above problems, the following method for relative flight height calculation would be most reliable. 

### 1) Record the aircraft altitude before take

- off, as L Gound 

### 2) Way point altitude = Relative F light H eight + L Gound Please keep in mind that this method is the most reliable way for flight path collision precaution.



###  The Altitude Offset value given is only for the purpose to avoid visual confusion, such as Case 1 in fi g. 1 shown below. The aircraft represented by the red point was located on the ground in real world but floating in the sky wi thin 3D

- Map. You have to give a negative offset value to reduce the aircraft altitude for visual effect only. The calculate altitude offset function will give you a suggestion for offset setting but not guaranteed to be correct. Because if the aircraft is landed on the roof of the building as in Case 2 in figure shown below, and the building information will not appear in GIS database, which means you

cannot use the same method as in Case 1. You should calculate this offset value with a known or

estimated b uilding height. 

## Tips:
We highly RECOMMEND you to consider the relative flight height discussed during flight mission editing.©2012

# 2 Joystick/Keyboard Mode

Joystick/Keyboard mode is the 2 nd permission for users, and Fly Simulation, One Key Takeoff and Joystick/ Keyboard functions can be operated.



### 2.1 Simulator

Pre

- Flight Simulation aims to h elp you getting familiar with the Ground Station software. A successful flight under simulation mode does not guarantee your aircraft to work successfully in real world, since it is only a virtual environment based on the assumption that your aircraft is w orking under perfect condition with infinity power supply, favorable weather, and also that the GIS & GPS are providing 100% correct and precise information. The aircraft physical model in simulator might not perform the same flight characteristic as your

real aircraft. 

## Notices:

ENSURE the following requirements whenever during/before Simulation Mode: 1) You MUST NOT take off your aircraft. 2) You MUST NOT turn on your aircraft engine/motor. 3) You CAN disconnect the power supply for electric motor, or disconnect the throttle control servo motor for fuel engine. Otherwise, incorrect operation could result in serious personal injuries.

Please follow the steps strictly for Simulation Mode use:

1. Connect the whole main control system completely, including IMU 、 GPS, et c.

2. Hold Ctrl then Right click , you will see simulate , and the aircraft logo will be at the current mouse
position.

3. Click simulate
, you will see a “Warning” window.

4. Click Yes to turn on Simulate Mode

. Now GS is in Simulate Mode !!!



## Notices:

 W e HIGHLY RECOM MEND Simulation Mode fo r practicing purpose for flight mission edit, try to get familiar with all the operations of your Ground Station as much as you can.

 The simulation model requires a complete main control system connection , and you can reference

to As sembly in DJI flight control system user manual
