Safety Guidelines

Introduction
The UVify IFO is designed in the quadcopter configuration, equipped with four propellers to ensure stability and minimize the impact of wind
disturbances. This quadcopter setup provides enhanced control and maneuverability during flight, making it well-suited for various applications, including
drone light shows, advertising, stage backgrounds, and message delivery. The four propellers contribute to the IFO's ability to navigate through the air with
precision, creating captivating aerial displays and ensuring a reliable performance in diverse environments.

Differentiating Propellers
In the case of the IFO drone, two propellers rotate clockwise, while the other two rotate counterclockwise. It is crucial to ensure that the upper side of
IFO is facing upward during installation. Refer to the image below to distinguish between the propellers.
Make sure to follow the directional indications provided in the image when installing the propellers. Clockwise and counterclockwise rotation is a key
factor in proper drone functionality, and accurate installation is essential for safe and efficient operation.

Checking and Replacing Propellers

Rotate the rotor of the motor to check if there is any blockage or rubbing. Observe the gap between the rotor and stator of the motor to check if there is
any rubbing with the motor base.
Check the surface of all propellers.
Gently hold both blades with your fingers and ensure that all blades are undamaged.
 Replace a propeller if it is in any of the following conditions.

Caution

If a propeller is faulty or broken, it can lead to the drone falling and potential damage to the product. Before flying the drone, ensure there is no
damage to the propellers.
DO NOT fly the aircraft if there is any blockage or rubbing mentioned above. It is necessary to repair.

Replacing the SD Card

1. Use a hex wrench to carefully loosen and remove these four screws on the top lid of IFO.

2. Once the top lid is removed, position the IFO sideways to access the SD card slot conveniently.
3. Gently press the existing SD card to release it from its slot. Allow it to pop up, making it easier to remove.

4. With the SD card popped up, carefully lift and remove it from the slot. Ensure a steady and controlled motion to prevent any damage.

5. Take the new SD card and insert it into the designated slot. Pay close attention to the orientation, ensuring the face of the SD card is upward. Insert it
into the right port for proper alignment.
6. Once the new SD card is in place, secure the IFO by reattaching the top lid. Use the hex wrench to tighten the four screws, ensuring a secure and stable
connection.
7. Use the hex wrench to fasten the four screws securely, tightening them evenly to reattach the top lid.

Safety Guidelines
Warning

Do not remove the SD card arbitrarily. Flying without the SD card violates regulations and is not recommended for safety reasons.

Be cautious not to misplace or lose any of the four screws during the removal of the top lid.
Losing screws may lead to instability and potential damage to the IFO during operation.
Pay close attention to the orientation of the SD card during removal and insertion to avoid incorrect positioning.
Incorrect orientation may lead to functionality issues and potential damage to the SD card or the slot.
Ensure proper alignment of the top lid during reassembly to prevent misfit or instability in the IFO structure.
Tighten screws evenly to avoid misalignment or damage to the top lid.

Caution

Exercise caution when using the hex wrench to avoid damaging the screws or the IFO casing.
Be mindful of the wrench's size and compatibility with the screws to prevent stripping or overtightening.
Handle the SD card with care during removal to prevent any bending or damage to the card or the slot.
Avoid applying excessive force when pressing or lifting the SD card to prevent potential damage.
