Service
After each flight visually inspect UAV for a damages.
If propellers are damaged, you can replace them by using spare parts.
If you detect any aircraft frame or system damages,contact our support for futher instructions.
After the 160 hours total flight time we recommend you to send UAV to the manufacturer
for a technical check and service.
Storage
UAV (without a Flight Battery) should be stored at the temperature from -20 to +60°С
and relative humidity no more than 80%.
Range of the flight battery’s temperature: from +5 to +25°С.
UAV with installed battery can be stored at the flight battery temperature range.
UAV service life — 3 years.
Flight battery service life — 1 year.
For a long time storage (14 days and more) you should always switch
batteries in Storage mode by the battery charger. See Storage Mode
section for details.

Safety Rules
Following rules must be observed:
• Only persons who have read this manual are allowed to use Geoscan Gemini
UAS.
• Do not short-circuit flight battery’s pins.
• Do not launch UAV or calibrate magnetic compass near large metal objects and
reinforced concrete structures (transmission towers, bridges, overpasses, etc.).
These objects can disrupt magnetic compass and GNSS signals.
• UAV magnetic compass is not adapted for work in the areas of magnetic anomalies.
Use Flight Without Using the Magnetic Compass in such conditions.
• Avoid trees, water and crowds on the flight route.
• Gemini should be transported only in the transport case.
• Do not assemble, disassemble and transport UAV over long distances when power
is on.
• Do not use the UAV at temperatures below -15°C and above +40°C.
• Do not use UAV in snow, rain and when wind speed is more than 10 m/s.
• Do not launch the UAV if any problem is detected.
• Do not modify the UAV.
