Operating the DMR D517 requires adherence to strict safety and preparation protocols to ensure both optimal performance and operator protection. These guidelines cover essential pre-flight checks, in-flight safety measures, and proper shutdown procedures.

Pre-Flight Preparation
Before each mission, inspect the drone thoroughly. Ensure the camera is free from moisture—wipe it dry immediately if it has been exposed to liquid. Verify that all payload modules are securely attached and that the fast-release joints are fully locked. Calibrate the GPS, LiDAR, and gimbal systems to guarantee accurate positioning, sensing, and targeting once airborne.

Safety Recommendations
During startup and motor testing, keep all personnel clear of the rotor blades to prevent injury. When operating near hazardous infrastructure, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce risk. The D517 is designed to resist dust and water splashes but should never be submerged. If accidental immersion occurs, power off the aircraft immediately and dry all components before attempting reuse.

Shutdown Procedure
Conclude the mission by landing the drone smoothly, either manually or using the Return-to-Home (RTH) function. Once landed, power down the onboard systems before switching off the remote controller. Finally, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry location to preserve its longevity and performance.
