6.2. GCS-D Maintenance
Periodically check that the command and control antenna is secure and tight. If operating
the GCS-D in dusty or wet environments, make sure to clean/dry the GCS-D as soon as
possible after use. As with any electronic device, care should be taken not to drop the
GCS-D.
Check the joysticks for damage prior to each flight. Gently press straight down on a
joystick. There should be no vertical movement in the joystick; if there is, do not operate
system and return for repair.
6.3. Battery and Battery Charger Maintenance
Lithium-polymer (Li-Po) batteries are high-capacity, high-performance power sources,
and are sensitive to misuse. Before charging a battery, do a visual check to verify it is in
good condition. Only charge the 1.3 Ah Li-Po GCS-D batteries and the 5.7 Ah Li-Po
aircraft batteries included with the InstantEye Mk-3 GEN4-D1 system using the supplied
InstantEye charger (Figures 54 & 55) specifically designed to charge Li-Po batteries.
Batteries should always be monitored while charging and kept away from flammable
materials. If a battery ever becomes very hot while charging, disconnect it from the
charger immediately.
When charging and using batteries, never connect the batteries to anything other than
the battery charging cradle or the battery receptacle in the GCS-D or aircraft. The batteries
should never be allowed to get hotter than 140°F (60°C); this will result in permanent
damage.
