# Caution

When flying, fast rotating propellers may cause serious damage and i njury

. P lease fly safe at all times.



## Assembly Cautions
(1) Mount the GPS module with a bracket, to avoid interference with the power board on the center frame. (2) Ensure the IMU is mounted with the arrow pointing toward the front

. (3) If using a receiver, attach it under the bottom board of the center frame with the end of the antenna facing downwards away from obstructions to avoid loss of control due to signal loss. (4) Ensure frame arms are mounted correctly. a) Motor mounts with CCW marks should be mounted to the corr esponding c enter frame positions with the following marks: M1, M3, M5, and M7

. b) Motor mounts with CW marks should be mounted to the corresponding center frame positions with the following marks: M2, M4, M6, and M8

. (5) Do not remove any glued

- in screws. (6) Tighten screws appropriately

. S crew s marked with blue glue can be used without thread locker once. On
other occasions, apply appropriate thread locker. (7) S1000 should be raised above the ground when test ing landing gear or recalibrat ing servo travel. (8) Notice that m atching the indicators is very important. Please pay attention to them. 

## Flight Cautions
(1) ESCs are not water

- proof, do not fly in rain or snow. (2) Ensure all soft dampers and vibration absorbers are in good condition before every flight. If not, replace

immed iately. Otherwise, the flight performance of your aircraft will be adversely affected. (3) Ensure all parts are in good condition before each flight. Do not fly with worn or broken parts. (4) Ensure propellers and motors are installed correctly and propellers are unfolded before flying. (5) Ensure ESC signal connectors and power cable connectors are tight and reliable before every flight. (6) When flying, stay away a safe distance from people, buildings, high

- voltage lines, tall trees, water and

other hazards. (7) Use only 6S LiPo batteries for the power supply

. (8) Ensure all output signals from M1 to M8 are in proper working order when using the DJI A2 flight control
system to avoid damage or injury. (9) Do not overload the system. (10) Do not get close to or touch motors or propellers w hen they are spinning as this can cause serious injury. (11) Disconnect battery and remove camera during breaks and transportation to avoid damage or injury. (12) We strongly recommend us ing as many DJI parts as possible. 

## Others
(1) If you have any problem you cannot re solve, contact your dealer or DJI customer service.© 201 4 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

# Mounting Frame Arms

Instructions

1. Check arms. (1) Check propellers for cracks, then install and screw propeller cover on tightly. (2) Ensure motors are mounted firmly an d rotate freely. (3) Mount arms with red propeller cover s to M1 and M2 to indicate the nose of the S1000

. (4) Distinguish marks CW and CCW on the arms

. Mount the arms with mark CCW to the M1
, M3
, M5 , and M7
positions of the center frame

. T he arms mark ed CW should be mounted to the M2
, M4
, M6 , and M8
positions of the center frame. (5) Check power cable connector. Diagram A shows normal and B shows abnormal. The correct connection

method is detailed below.

i. Remove shrapnel from the damaged connector as demonstrated by d iagram A using tweezers or a knife

. ii. Replace the power cable connector if the shrapnel damage is too great (e.g. connector is broken or bent)

and cannot be pulled out or plugged in.

. Power cables can be fix ed to center fram e pillar s to tidy them away

. Make sure to use heat

- shrinkable tubes correctly (orange).

10. Double c heck all frame arms

. Arms M1 and M2 are the forward facing (nose) , arms M 5 and M 6 are the tail.
See n from the top, motors on arms M1 , M3 , M5 and M7 rotat e counter clockwise while those on arms M 2,
M 4, M 6 and M 8 rotate clockwise.
