Set up the GNSS Base Station as soon as site inspection is completed, and 

Home Location has been identified. Once Base Station data recording has 

started,  it  is  necessary  to  not  stop  data  collection  or  move  the  GNSS 

antenna for the duration of the LiAir 220N mission.  

3.3 LiAir 220N Setup and Operation (DJI M300) 

1.

 

Attach LiAir 220N main payload to the DJI M300/RTK system.

 

2.

 

Power on the M300/RTK  

3.

 

Press ON/OFF button: 

-

 

Hold the ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds 

-

 

If the light status is flashing red, the system is initializing;  

-

 

If the light status flickers slowly red, the system components are synchronizing; 

-

 

If the light status is solid red, system initialization and synchronization have completed 

successfully.  

4.

 

Connect a Ground Control computer to LiAir 220N system via Network Cable  

-

 

When connecting a Ground Control Computer to the LiAir 220N system for the first time 

follow this procedure to set up the Ethernet Connection:
