Congratulations on your new Intel® Falcon™ 8+ Unmanned
Aircraft System (UAS).
This UAS is purposely built for professional use. It is not
intended for consumer use. You should already have
experience ying a UAS, which requires control of the drone
with a ground control station similar to the one included with
the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS.
This Quick Start Guide (QSG) presents a brief summary of
the UAS, how to set it up and steps to get started. The QSG
consists of the following main sections:
• UAS Description: Packing list, UAS components, ground
control station, payloads, etc.
• Operating the UAS: Safety precautions, pre-ight and
post-ight checks, and steps to get started – preparing,
using and controlling the UAS.
Before using the UAS, please read the Terms and
Conditions of Use, and Safety Warnings enclosed with this
package. It is important that you also read the User Manual
before using the UAS. Download the User Manual at
www.intel.com/Falconmanual .
In addition, Intel strongly recommends that you attend a
pilot training before you use the UAS. For further details
on training, contact the reseller from whom you bought the
UAS, or if you bought the UAS directly from Intel, contact
Intel.
