Battery warnings of the CTR
The following warnings refer to the CTR battery:
3.12.2. Magnetic Field Warning
While starting the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV, a magnetic field warning may occur.
Usually disturbances on the ground come from underground lines and can quickly be
resolved by switching off the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV, moving it to a different spot and
starting from the new location.
Alternatively, it is possible to start in Height-Mode to avoid any position corrections by
the system which might occur in GPS-Mode, and then only activate GPS once in the air.
The magnetic disturbance will then be at a safe distance and the estimation algorithms
will be active.
