• Risk of fire or explosion: Do not operate the UAV in potentially explosive
environments such as fueling stations, fueling areas, fuel or chemical storage
facilities, or areas where the air may contain chemical or dust particles, such as
grain particles or metal powders.
If possible, and if you can do so safely, physically remove this product from any
such environment. Do not connect any accessory cables or press any of the
product's buttons until outside of these environments.
• GPS-Mode will limit your maximum speed. Flying the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV at
wind speeds above 12 m/s is not recommended. Please note that wind
conditions on the ground and in the air can differ.
• Do not fly the UAV outside the specified temperature range, see “TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION” on page 218 for further details.
• The UAS and payloads are not waterproof. Do not operate the UAS in adverse
weather (sand storm, rain, fog, snow, etc.) or at night.
• Only operate the UAV on clear days and during daylight hours. The UAV has LED
position lights, but not anti-collision lights.
• The UAV is not equipped with a sense-and-avoid system. The operator is
responsible for seeing and avoiding all other traffic, persons, structures, and
obstacles. We recommend two-person operations (pilot and observer). All sense
and avoid is done by the pilot and observer.
• Avoid placing the UAV or the Intel® Cockpit Controller (CTR) next to heat
sources, leaving it in the direct sunlight for extended periods, or leaving it in a
place where the temperature may exceed the specified range (such as a parked
car on a hot day).
• Do not disassemble the UAS.
• Do not transport the UAS in transport containers not approved by Intel.
• Do not modify the UAS. Any modifications may compromise safety features,
increasing risk of injury, death, or property damage. There are no user
serviceable parts inside this UAS. Refer all service to your local support.
• Using devices in combination with the UAS other than those approved by Intel
(e. g. batteries, battery chargers, cameras, etc.) is prohibited. Any unapproved
modification of the UAS is prohibited.
• The UAS is equipped with a 2.4 GHz radio link for remote control and a 5.8 GHz
radio link for video transmission. Please note that local laws may apply and
restrictions in using radio equipment may exist in your area. The UAV may only
be used for flight with the original accessories and under the defined
environmental conditions.
• The UAV is equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) or Assisted GPS
(AGPS) technology, which may be used to determine the approximate location
of the UAV. Please check the settings of any installed applications to ensure that
