2-6. Operation Procedures.
a.
Drop Zone Preliminary Operation.
CAUTION
Never turn the T/C on without the antenna connected. The T/C
could be damaged if turned on without tile antenna connected.
(1)
Attach the antenna to the T/C.
(2)
If there is an option on selecting the drop zone, select the largest
possible open unobstructed area. Obstructions such as buildings
may slightly affect die Auto homing mode due to the reflection of the
RF signal. This would cause the control system to seek an offset
landing area.
NOTE
Select the Manual steering mode as soon as possible since RF
reflections cannot prevent the operator from flying the payload
to the desired location in this mode. In the Manual steering
mode, it does not matter where the commanding signal is
coming from.
