Quick start guide
Note: If the drone detects a condition that prevents correct take-off
a Take-off veto will be displayed in eMotion and the status LED will
start pulsing blue. Section ‘Take-off vetoes’ on page 141 describes
the possible Take-off veto messages and the user action that should
be taken to remove them. For example, if the drone is not oriented
horizontally the status LED will start pulsing blue until you re-orient
it horizontally, at which point the status LED turns solid green again.
Caution: It is imperative to launch the drone directly against the
wind, otherwise it will be unable to gain enough speed during take-
off and likely crash. Likewise, launching the drone in high winds
above the specified safe wind speed of 12 m/s is dangerous and can
result in a crash.
