LED Diagnostics
For optimum performance DroneMobile should be mounted away from metal panels that may prevent
the DR-2000 from locking onto GPS or cellular signal. Once a suitable location is found, mount the
unit using two or more zip ties or double side tape. If possible mount so that the LEDs are visible for
troubleshooting. Observe caution when mounting to avoid tension on the harness as it may come
loose or damage the DR-2000.
Once the SIM is active and all connections made, connect the harness to the DR-2000. The LEDs will
light up. The following table shows the behavior of those LEDs
