GPS FUNCTIONALITY
The Q500 requires a suitable GPS signal/lock in order to start the motors
and to be flown. This means it should only be operated outdoors in open
areas that are free from people, vehicles and other obstrucons. And in
order to acquire a suitable GPS signal/lock it’s crical that the GPS antenna
installed in the top of the Q500 always have a clear view of the sky (100°
minimum clearance required).
WARNING: Do NOT aempt to fly
near or between tall buildings/ob-
strucons, near or under dense
vegetaon, structures or indoors. Do
NOT aempt to fly the Q500 with GPS enabled indoors or in any
locaon known to have poor GPS coverage. And do NOT disable/turn off
GPS unless you’re able to properly control the Q500 in Angle (Pilot) Mode
without GPS assistance and accept ALL responsibility and liability for
crashes or ‘fly aways’.
If the Q500 loses GPS signal/lock while flying it can only be flown in Angle
(Pilot) Mode. Smart Mode and Home Mode, along with their corresponding
features, will no longer work. And the Main LED Status Indicator will flash
purple and the Below Motor LED Status Indicators will flash three (3) mes
per second then will stay off for one (1) second when the Q500 loses GPS
signal/lock (or if GPS has been disabled/turned off).
If the GPS signal/lock is reacquired (aer receiving 5–10 seconds of
suitable GPS signal), Smart Mode and Home Mode will work again.
WARNING: Loss of GPS signal/lock may result in a crash or even a ‘fly
away’.
