6.2. TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter describes solutions for special problems.
6.2.1. Establishing a connection between the CTR and the
UAV
The UAV and the CTR are pre-configured ex works.
Nevertheless, when the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV and the CTR are powered up for the first
time, the Status Display will show the Start Screen and it is necessary to set up the
connection between UAV and CTR.
If the UAV and the respective CTR have been linked before, the UAV will automatically
connect to the CTR as soon as both are turned on.
In some cases, it may be necessary to establish the connection manually again.
Note
It saves some time to switch on the UAV first, so that the system check is being
carried out. Then switch on the touchscreen tablet followed by the CTR.
Figure 6.9: Connecting the CTR to the UAV
If the UAV and the CTR do not automatically connect, the
Status Display will note it in the Start Screen. If this is the
case, you must establish the connection manually.
1. Push the ENT button of the Status Display (see
“STATUS DISPLAY” on page 166). You will see the
screen to enter the Falcon Serial number (5-digit serial
number of the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV, printed on the
top of the UAV, above the battery compartment, for
example 31123). The first digit is highlighted (see
figure below).
