4. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the direct trajectory between UAV, and the
new start point.
5. Tap on the play button.
The mission will be continued from the waypoint that was selected as the new start
point.
3.4. AUTOMATED START-UP CHECKS
Approximately 15 seconds after switching on the UAV a triple beep from the autopilot
electronics signalizes the end of the initialization phase.
During the initialization, the system performs an automated start-up check:
• Sensors are checked for functionality.
• Sensor data is checked for plausibility.
• All three flight controller units are checked.
• The “Black Box” (flight logger) SD card is checked.
• The firmware version of the battery is checked (see “Battery Update” on
page 77).
• The regional settings regarding the transmission power are checked.
• The current magnetic field is compared with the expected magnetic field.
Irregularities that might affect the flight behavior are reported by a corresponding error
notification on the Status Display (for detailed descriptions of possible error messages,
see “WARNINGS” on page 143). In case of an error, please try to start the system again
at a different location. If the error persists, please contact your local support
representative.
3.4.1. Regional Setting
If the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV is switched on in a different region than last time, it will
automatically check and if necessary configure all radio parameters to comply with the
new region. This is necessary because different regions (e.g. FCC or CE compliant) may
have different limits regarding the transmission power. As soon as a valid GPS signal is
available this configuration starts. It can take up to 5 minutes. During this process
CONFIGURING REGION is shown in the bottom line of the Status Display (see below)
and the LEDs of the UAV flash fast. The power button of the UAV is disabled. Please
wait until the process is finished and don’t interrupt manually.
