Flying environment requirements
• DonotusetheQ-1Droneininclementweather,suchasstrongwinds,snow,rainandfog.
• Selectanopenareawithnotallbuildingsintheyingsite.Thepresenceofalarge
numberofsteelbuildingsintheareawillaectthecompass.
• WhileyingtheQ-1Dronestayawayfromobstacles,people,powerlines,shelters,
bodiesofwateretc.
• Donotyinacomplexelectromagnecenvironment(suchasnearmobilephonecase
staonsortowers)toavoidtransmierinterference.
• Donotyinrestrictedorno-yzonesandabidebyrelevantlawsandregulaons.
Pre-ight check
• Ensurecontroller,Q-1Droneandsmartphonearefullycharged.
• Ensurepropellersarecorrectlyinstalled.
• EnsurethemicroSDcardisproperlyinsertedbeforeusingthecameratocapturephotos
andvideos.
• EnsurethattheQ-1DroneisinEcomodebeforetake-obymovingswitch1tothe

• CheckifthemotorsstartproperlyaertheQ-1Droneisswitchon.
6.1 Compass calibraon
IMPORTANT:Makesuretocalibratethecompassbeforeuseorineverynewightlocaon.
Thecompassisverysensivetoelectromagnecinterference,whichcancauseabnormal
compassdataleadingtopoorightperformanceorevenightfailure.Regularcalibraonis
requiredforopmumperformance.
• Donotcalibratethecompassinastrongmagneceld.
• Donotcarryferromagnecmaterial,suchaskeys,mobilephones,etc.whilecalibrang
thecompass.
• Thepropellersmustberemovedbeforecalibraontoavoidaccidentalinjury.
Inawide,openareaturnonthecontrollerandQ-1Droneandmakesurethattheequipment
isworkingproperlyandfollowtheprocedurebelowtocalibrate.
When to Recalibrate
1. Whencompassdataisabnormal,frontindicator(green)blinksfast.
2. Theightlocaonisfarfromtheplacewherelastcompasscalibraonwasconducted.
