Using your eBee X
• Set an appropriate working area
Set a working area that prevents your drone from flying outside communi-
cations range, above the legal altitude limit, into prohibited airspace such
as private property or a nearby airport, or into a hazardous area. See the
eMotion user manual.
• Always fly with eMotion connected
Connect your drone to eMotion to provide situational awareness, extended
communications range and a means of controlling your drone and initiat-
ing a landing in case of incident.
• Check laptop battery charge level
Make sure your computer has more than enough battery charge for your
flight. Avoid using your laptop’s power saving mode – it may disable your
graphics card causing eMotion to run slowly.
• Always take off with a fully-charged drone battery
The power the drone can pull from its Lithium Polymer batteries is at its
maximum when the battery is fully charged.
• Provide eMotion with as much computing power as possible
Do not run memory- or processor-intensive software on the same com-
puter as eMotion while flying. For example, do not process flight data, in-
stall software, update the operating system or run an anti-virus scan. Use a
high-performancepowerplan. Enable your computer’s graphics card(GPU).
• Ensure you can hear the alerts
Enable your computer’s sound and ensure that the volume is high enough
so that any alerts are clearly audible.
