1. GPS COMPASS e GPS Compass is sensitive to magnetic interference should be far away from any electronic devices e You should use epoxy resin AB glue to assemble the GPS bracket first as the figure showed MC e Please use 3M gummed paper provided To mount MC and mount MC parallel to the aircraft horizon e The output ports of MC the right side in figure should point to the front of multi rotor You d better put MC at the gravity center of multi rotor Please make sure all ports are accessible when installing the MC so as to facilitate in previous page e Mount the bracket on the center plate of craft first then fix the GPS on the plate of the bracket by 3M glue provided The GPS is sensitive to vibration interference so position the bracket at least 10 cm from any rotor e The DJI logo marked on the GPS should face the sky with the orientation arrow pointing directly forward The GPS Compass is packaged with a special indication line for mounting for the first time e If you are uncertain whether materials near the GPS Compass module are magnetic or not you can use a compass or magnet to check it If you use your own mounting rod make sure it is NOT magnetic wiring and software configuration e In three pin ports pins near the nicks are signal pins e After choosing a location to mount the MC it is recommended ts that you DO NOT mount the MC until all wirings and software configurati2. 3 There is only one home point recorded at any time This point is the same one used by Go Home and Landing in the fail safe mode 4 When flying by home lock if GPS signal becomes weak MC will be in course lock in the current forward direction automatically 5 You d better stand near the home point to use home lick 6 You d better use 3 position switch for X2 channel and you d better use X2 channel switch to activate and deactivate the IOC during the flight Notices 1 Before you do the home lock flight you have to fly the multi rotor out of the lOm range around the home point you have to flip the X2 channel switch to Home Lock position to fly in home lock when all the requirements are met If you have already toggled the X2 channel switch to Home Lock position when the multi rotor is still in IOm range around home point and this is the first time you are going to fly in home lock during the current flight then if all the requirements are met MC will change into home lock automatically when multi rotor flies out the 10m range around home point 2 When multi rotor is flying by home lock far away from you and the home point please do not toggle the X2 channel switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without you knowing it 3 By using a 3 position switch if you want to record the forward direction or home point manually do not toggle the X2 channel switch between OFF and Home Lock position but only betwee
