CAUTION: WHEN INSTALLING A NEW PAYLOAD ONTO AN INTEL®
FALCON™ 8+ UAV, IT IS NECESSARY TO PERFORM A PAYLOAD
CALIBRATION AND A COMPASS CALIBRATION (STRICTLY IN THAT
ORDER).
THE INTEL® FALCON™ 8+ UAV WILL SAVE THE CALIBRATIONS FOR
THAT EXACT PAYLOAD AND REMEMBER IT THE NEXT TIME THE
PAYLOAD IS USED.
IF YOU FAIL TO CALIBRATE, THE SYSTEM WILL USE DEFAULT
PARAMETERS WHICH WILL LEAD TO DECREASED HEADING
ACCURACIES.
TO PERFORM THE CALIBRATIONS, PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS
BELOW.
