Now the M2 / M + module is ready to operate. 

 

Topographic Survey Flights 

 

Before Flight: 

1.

 

Program your flight plan following the instructions of the flight control application 

you use: DJI GS Pro, Pix4D, DroneDeploy, MapsMadeEasy or others. 

2.

 

Connect the previously installed PPK KIT by connecting the Micro-USB cable to the 

Drone. 

3.

 

Turn on the Drone Phantom 4 Pro / Advance. 

4.

 

Wait for the three lights on the M2 / M + to come on: Orange, Blue and Green. It 

takes about 30 seconds to wait for the Blue (Wifi) and Green (Satellites) lights. 

5.

 

In the event that at the first start of the Drone the M2 / M + module does not turn 

on completely (only orange light on) do the following: disconnect and reconnect 

the 6-pin connector directly from the M2 / M + module without turning off the 

Drone. This happens due to slight variations in power performance in some Drone 

batteries due to time of use (low amperage) or other factors external to the kit. 

6.

 

Connect to the M2 / M + via Wi-Fi 

(See point 6 of the section: M2 / M + module 

configuration: Reachview 3 App and Firmware update)
