Before You Start

Complete this checklist every time before launching a scanning mission.

Choose a Safe Test Area

For your first scan, find an area that is:

• Unpopulated and flat
• Free of obstacles (trees, buildings, power lines)
• Away from animals and other people

A meadow or open field is ideal.

Pre-Flight Checklist

1. Position the drone

Place the drone on a flat, clean surface with clear surroundings for safe launching and landing.

2. Verify all indicators in the app

Confirm the following in the DroneRover app status bar:

Indicator	Required State
Drone	Connected to the app
Rcvr (Receiver)	Battery full, link indicator OK
Sensor	Battery full, sensor link OK
Link	Signal full / strong

3. Check the map

• Confirm the map is loaded and up to date.
• Verify that you can see both your location and the drone's location on the map.
• Keep a safe distance from the drone at all times.

Once all conditions are met, proceed to Automated Scanning or Manual Scanning.
