Suggest strongly:
- read the owners manual carefully first,
- do software updates,
- charge BUT be very suspicious and careful
with such old batteries (maybe charge
outside just in case anything untoward
happens),
- Make sure you properly calibrated the
compass and acceleromeeter BEFORE you
attempt to take off .... flyaways do happen.
- Don't calibrate drone within 15 yards of
reinforced concrete or metal structures,
- Don't take off from reinforced concrete or
metal structures,
- Leave watch and phone in car whilst doing
calbrations,
- Learn where the RTH (Home switch) is, what
it does and make sure the minimum height
is set to avoid obstacles where you intend to
fly BEFORE you fly the first time.
- DON'T take off in Smart Mode .... use Angle
Mode until you know how to fly the drone.
Smart Mode should only be used once you
understand what it does. Take offs in Smart
Mode have caused many unhappy faces,
- Learn how to fly the drone in manual mode
(no GPS turned off) ...... atti mode for DJI
folks as soon as you can. Sometimes
it is the only way to control weird behaviour
or recover a fly away.
- turn on drone and controller and let them sit
for 15 - 20 minutes to build up the satellite
almanack .... vital to do before you fly first
time.
- Make sure the controller shows that your
drone and controller have acquired enough
satellites before you attempt to fly.
Hope this helps....... and have fun.
