This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the compass reading is interfered. Try restarfing and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at atl time and the problem persist even when the aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to D.11 for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initializafion. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.
