This tutorial video explains how to use the Flyability range extender with the Elios drone series. It covers installation, safety precautions, and best practices for extending the drone’s signal in confined spaces.
Purpose of Range Extender
The range extender enhances the radio signal between the Elios drone and its remote control, particularly in environments like sewers or underground spaces. By minimizing signal turns, it ensures smoother communication during drone flights.
Components of the Range Extender
The range extender includes three main components: a 20-meter cable, a power module, and an antenna module. Each part plays a crucial role in establishing a robust connection between the drone and controller.
Charging and Battery Safety
Full charging of the extender’s battery is essential before use. The battery must be secured properly, and protective measures like insulating tape should be used to avoid short circuits.
Installation Guidelines
Proper placement and securing of the range extender are key to maximizing signal strength and avoiding accidents. Users should ensure the antenna is visible to the drone and avoid attaching the extender to themselves.
Maintenance and Cleanup
Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance. After use, cleaning the range extender and ensuring it is dry can prevent damage. Specific cleaning methods are recommended to avoid moisture damage.
Usage and Communication Tips
During operation, the range extender will alert users about battery status through beeping. Users should always monitor signal strength and ensure the extender is not obstructed during flight.
