Antenna oriented upward: Improves
reception when the drone is floating (boat
mode) or flying close to the water
surface.
Antenna oriented downwards: Improves
reception when the drone is flying further
away or fly at a high altitude.
To adjust the antenna position: loosen the antenna nut, adjust the antenna position, and
retighten the nut.
Strobe Light
The top of the aircraft is equipped with high-intensity strobe light,
which helps identify the drone’s position to the pilot and other air
traffic. This meets the requirements of night flight regulations in
some countries and helps ensure flight safety at night. The
strobe can be activated and deactivated in the app (STB).
Waterproof Barometric Membrane
The waterproof barometric membrane is SwellPro’s featured technology. It allows air to
come through the internal body of the aircraft to keep the barometer function properly
yet keeps the water from getting in to ensure the SplashDrone 4’s all waterproof design.
The waterproof barometric membrane is delicate yet an extremely important part for
proper flying and waterproofing. Therefore, you should pay special attention to the
proper use of waterproof barometric membrane during your operation.
• Always check the waterproof barometric membrane to ensure no damage being
observed before flying.
• Rinse the waterproof barometric membrane thoroughly with freshwater after flying.
• If you constantly fly your drone in the saltwater environment (sea), it is
recommended to change the waterproof barometric membrane once every 2
months, since the salt particles can clog the tiny holes on the membrane.
