1.3 Maintenance
Visually inspect UAV for a damage after each flight.
If a propellers are damaged, you can replace it yourself using spare parts and tools from the kit.
If structural damage to the airframe or systems is detected, contact Geoscan support.
2 Chapter 1. General information
After 80 flights it is recommended to send your UAV to the manufacturer for inspection and maintenance.
1.4 Storage
Geoscan 401 complex (without battery) are recommended to be stored in a transport containers in dry
rooms at a temperature of 5 to 25 °C and relative humidity not more than 80% without condensation.
Shelf life - 2 years.
Batteries should be stored in a cool and dry place, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 5 to 25
°C and a relative humidity of 80% without condensation. The optimum voltage level when placing the
battery to storage: 38,5 V. Shelf Life - 1 year.

SAFETY RULES
For safe use of UAV, follow these operating instructions:
• UAV launch and maintainence can be held only by persons trained according to the “Plan of the-
oretical and practical training of the operator to control the unmanned complex GEOSCAN 401”;
• before the flight it is necessary to inspect the flight area and make sure that the planned flight path
passes not less than 100 m above the terrain and high-rise objects (mountains, towers, pipes,
transmission towers, etc.);
• don’t launch the UAV if any malfunction is detected;
• after connecting the battery to the UAV it is prohibited to be in the propeller blades rotation plane;
• don’t launch or fly UAV near high power radio transmitters;
• avoid flying above crowded places;
• turn on UAV power only to send flight task or directly before prefight check;
• don’t assemble or disassemble the UAV when the power is on;
• don’t circuit battery pins;
• transportate the UAV only in transport container;
• Don’t hold UAV’s when you move it;
• remove the camera lens cap only before flight mission start;
• don’t modify or change constructive elements of the UAV.
2.1 Operational restrictions
• Operating temperature range: -20 to +40 °С, -40 to +20 °С with “Arctic” battery
• Max wind speed: 12 m/s
The aerial photography complex is not intended for flights during rain, snow and other precipitation.
It is necessary to leave the complex at room temperature for 24 hours after transportation at low tem-
peratures.

UAV
3.1 Parts
3.2 Assembly
1) Take the landing gears base part and landing gears from the UAV’s transport container.
2) Put landing gears in the landing gears base part tubes.
3) Tighten connecting nuts on landing gears by hands.
4) Fix nuts position by elastic fixators.

Fig. 1: Installation and fixation of the landing gears
5) Take the quadcopter from the UAV’s transport container.
6) Remove a protective transport elements.
7) Take the quadcopter’s frame arms out to the sides.
Fig. 2: Quadcopter assembly
8) Move frame arms nuts to the quadcopter’s frame central part and tighten it.
6 Chapter 3. UAV
Fig. 3: Quardcopter’s nuts moving
Attention: Make sure that the nuts are covered frame pins.
9) Put the quadcopter on landing gears base part.
• Frame loops must be connected with landing gear’s loops.
• Take the servo cradle and position it under the quadcopter’s frame. The frame loops must be
connected with servo cradle’s loops. (see the picture). The camera lens should be directed in the
direction of the slope of the quadcopter fairing.
Fig. 4: Connection of the parts
• Put a mounting rods in loops on the side of the red seals.
