Drone safety information for planes and copters
Drones can be hazardous if operated incorrectly. If you are new to drones, we
recommend learning the ropes first on a mini-drone or simulation software. Make safety
your first priority, and always follow these best practices. It is highly recommended that
any pilot using this product have a Small Unmanned Aircraft System- Remote Pilot
Airman Certificate.
Handling
Spinning propellers can cause serious injury. Become familiar with your drone’s arming
procedure, and always disarm before handling the propellers. On Pixhawk-powered
vehicles, the safety button provides an additional safety measure by blocking power to
the motors while the button is disabled (blinking red), allowing you to handle the drone
safely.
When flying, always make sure to keep a safe distance between
yourself and the drone. Don’t take off with the drone facing towards
you or fly directly over your head. It is your job to ensure the safety of
the people around you; make sure that spectators maintain a safe
distance from your drone at all times.

Charging The LiHv Battery
For a video follow this link: https://youtu.be/evqc9zkqoDU
Connections Setup
Plug the yellow connectors together, and Insert balance lead (white connector) into the 5 pin side
port. Then place battery inside lipo Guard. Press enter to open menus, left and right to adjust
settings, and press stop to go back. Shown below are the screens you should go through.
Begin by plugging the
power supply into a
120V AC wall outlet
and also plugging
into the battery
charger.
In the program select
menu go left or right until
you find the Field Hawk
battery type LiHv and Press
Enter
Program Select
LiHV Batt
Once in the LiHv menu scroll
left or right until you find LiHv
Balance Chg and press Enter
this will flash amount of
current going into the battery.
Set it to 3. Then press enter to
change the number of cells to
4s(4 celled battery). Press and
hold enter for 3 sec to start
program.
LiHV Balance
3.0A 15.2V(4S)
The charger will detect the
amount of cells. R is the
number of cells detected and S
is the number of cells you set.
These numbers must be
identical if not press STOP to
go back to the previous screen
to recheck the number of cells
you entered before
proceeding.
R:4SER S:4SER
Confirm (enter)
Time 0.0A 17.4V
Bal129:59 5200
You will see a warning
message when charging
LiHV batteries because
this program is specific to
these batteries and should
only be used on these
batteries . Charger beeps
when full or time limit is
reached.
Check your battery after
charging by connecting
the tester to the balance
lead with the black wire
connecting to the left
most pin. The tester will
show total voltage then
read out each individual
cell.

Battery Warnings
Bat Voltage Capacity
17.40V 100%
16.48V 80%
15.56V 60%
14.46V 40%
14.00V 30%
13.72V 20%
12.80V 0%
Battery failsafe activates and
the drone returns to launch
Land immediately when
voltage reaches 13.3
Proper Charge
We recommend charging the 4S batteries at 3
amps. This will help the batteries last beyond the
industry standard of 300 charge cycles. A full 4S
battery will indicate 4.3-4.4 Volts per cell, an
empty battery is 3.2 volts per cell. You will be able
to fly until each cell gets to about 3.5 volts per cell,
after that your battery will be too depleted to keep
the drone in the air.
Things to look out for
●Inspect battery for leaks, excessive warmth and bulging before use.
●Please be aware that lipo batteries can ignite if damaged.
●Do not charge the batteries an amperage above 5.2 Amps doing this may damage the
battery and reduce its life.
●Do not drop batteries this may damage them.
●Don’t use batteries that are bulging or leaking. These are signs of damage and the battery
should no longer be used.
●Don’t leave batteries unattended while charging.
●Don’t leave batteries in direct sunlight. Excessive heat may cause the battery to bulge
rendering it damaged and unsafe.
●Don’t charge or handle a battery that is too hot to touch. Excessive heat may cause
damage
●Dispose of malfunctioning batteries properly.
●Please treat them as dangerous fuel like gasoline.
●When you fly an unmanned aircraft the Responsibility is yours.
●Charge your LiHv batteries in a non conductive flame proof container.

to fly the most recently uploaded
mission.
Throttle stick: Dictates the
altitude of the drone in Loiter
mode
UP: 100%-80% Causes the
drone to climb up.
CENTER: 60%-40% Causes the
drone to hover at current rate.
