# 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 t he communication between air end and ground end.

2. 

### You’d better put the ground end at high place. This can guarantee 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 th ere is no obstacle between antennas; otherwise the communication range will be reduced.

4. 

### Ground end Link

- Alarm 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 light.

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. 

### Plea se 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 rig ht cable for connection.

12. 

### High voltage servos & FBL systems can drain the flight battery fast. Please make sure 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 rea l

- 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 according 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 h eight 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 A ltitude 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 within 3D

- Map. You h ave 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 building height. 

## Ti ps: We highly RECOMMEND you to consider the relative flight height discussed during flight mission editing.©2012 DJI Innovation s . All Rights Reserved.

# 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 help you getting fa miliar 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 working under perfe ct 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. 

## Not ices:

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 cont rol 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, etc.

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 RECOMMEND Simulation Mo de 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 Assembly in DJI flig ht control system user manual
