TheAGRASTM MG-1(abbreviatedas“MG-1”)isabattery-poweredmultirotoraircraftdesigned foragricultural
applicationsinvarietyofenvironmentsandterrains,includingelds,forestsandorchards.Itisdust-proof,water-proof
(IP43protectionrating,IECstandard60529)andmadeofanti-corrosivematerials,allowingittoberinsedclean.
Builtin isDJI’sindustry-leadingightcontrolsystem,providingthreeusefulOperationModes:Smart,Manual
andManualPlus.AmicrowaveradarunderneaththeaircraftmakestheMG-1uniquely versatileacrossall sorts
ofterrain.ThecombinedAltitudeStabilizationSystem automaticallymaintainsitsdistancefromplantstoensure
optimalspraying.
TheremotecontrollerfeaturesaSprayingStatusPaneldecoratedwithintuitiveiconsandarangeofcontrolsfor
navigation,modeandspraying.WhiletheMG-1doesallthehardworkintheelds,youkeepfullcontroloveritin
thepalmofyourhands.

Fly Safe
Itis importantto understandsomebasicightguidelines,bothforyourprotectionandfor thesafety ofthose
aroundyou.
1. Fly in Open Areas:Donotflynearorabovepeopleoranimals,ornearbuildings,powerlinesandother
obstacles.
2. Maintain Control at All Times:Alwayskeepyourhandsontheremotecontrollerandmaintaincontrolofyour
aircraftwhenit isin ight,evenwhenusingintelligentfunctionssuch asSmart OperationModeandSmart
Return-to-Home.
3. Maintain Line of Sight:Maintainalineofsighttoyouraircraftatalltimesandavoidyingbehindbuildingsor
otherobstaclesthatmayblockyourview.
4. Monitor Your Altitude:Forthesafetyoffull-sizedaircraftandotherair trac,always yataltitudeslessthan
164feet(50meters)oraccordingtolocallawsandregulations.
Visithttp://www.dji.com/y-safe/category-mcformoreinformationoncriticalsafetyfeatures
suchasNoFlyZones.
Calibrating the Compass
Ensurethecompassiscalibratedbeforeeveryight.Failuretodosomayleadtounexpectedightbehavior.
1.DONOTattempttocalibrateyourcompasswherethereisachanceofstrongmagneticinterference,including
areasnearmassivemetalobjects,parkinglots,undergroundsteelreinforcementsorunderbridges.
2.DONOTcarryferromagneticmaterials,suchaskeysandmobilephones,withyouduringcompasscalibration.
3.Thecompassshouldalwaysbecalibratedwhenmovingfromindoorspacestooutdoorspaces.
4.IftheAircraftStatusIndicatorisblinkinggreenandyellowalternatelyafterplacingtheaircraftontheground,the
compasshasdetectedmagneticinterference.Changeyourlocation.
5.IftheAircraftStatusIndicatorisblinkingred,compasscalibrationhasfailed.Pleaserecalibrate.
Flying Considerations
1.DONOTusetheaircraftinadverseweatherconditionssuchasheavyrain(precipitationrateexceeding25mmor
0.98inchesin12hours),highwindsexceeding17mph(28kph),fog,snowandlightning.
2.Onlyyinopenareas.Tallbuildingsandsteelstructuresmayaecttheaccuracyoftheonboardcompassand
GPS signal.
3.Avoidyinginareawithhighlevelsofelectromagnetism,includingnearmobilephonebasestationsandradio
transmission towers.
4.Aircraftandbatteryperformance issubject toenvironmentalfactors suchas airdensityandtemperature.Be
verycarefulwhenyingover6,560feet(2km)abovesealevelasthebatteryandaircraftperformancemaybe
reduced.
5.TheaircraftcannotoperateinP-ModewithintheEarth’spolarregions.
6.EnsurethatthereisastrongGPSsignalintheSmartorManualPlusoperationmode.
P-Mode
TheaircraftusesGPStopinpointitspositionandstabilizeight.TheReturn-to-Homefeature
isavailable.ToenableP-mode,toggletheFlightModeSwitchto“P”.

Return-to-Home
ItisimportanttotakeowithastrongGPSsignaltoensurethattheHomePointisrecordedbytheaircraft.
TheaircraftwillautomaticallyreturntotheHomePointinthefollowingcases.
Smart RTH: YoupresstheRTHbutton.
Failsafe RTH*:Remotecontrollersignalislost.
Alwaysset anappropriateRTHaltitudethat goesabove nearbybuildingsbeforetakeo.When theaircraftis
returningtotheHomePoint,youshouldguideitwiththecontrolsticks.
Pesticide Usage
1. Pesticidesarepoisonousandcanposeseriousriskstohumansafety.Usetheminstrictaccordancewiththeir
specications.
2. Residueontheequipmentcausedbysplashesorspillswhenpouringandmixingthepesticidecanirritateyour
skin.Besuretocleantheequipmentaftermixing.
3. Usecleanwater tomix thepesticide toavoidblockingthestrainer. Clearany blockagesbeforeusingthe
equipment.
4. Wearprotectiveclothingtopreventdirectbodycontactwiththepesticide.Alwaysrinseyourhandsandskin
afterhandlingpesticides.Cleantheaircraftandremotecontrollerafterapplyingthepesticide.
5. Eectiveuseofpesticidesreliesonpesticidedensity,spray rate,spraydistance,aircraftspeed,windspeed
andwinddirection.Considerallfactorswhenusingpesticides,butNEVERcompromisethesafetyofpeople,
animals and the environment in doing so.
6. DONOTcontaminateriversandsourcesofdrinkingwater.
Itis importantto understandbasic flightguidelines,forthesafetyofbothyouandthose
aroundyou.DonotforgettoreadtheDisclaimer and Safety Guidelines.
Return-to-Home
*TheFailsafeRTHmustbeenabledinthePCAssistant.Ifnotenabled,aircraftwillhoverinplace whenremotecontroller
