InTEnDED USE
This Product is a UAS that is intended for commercial use only,
such as for visual inspection, mapping and surveying. It is
not intended for any consumer or recreational use.
You must read, understand, and follow all documentation
before using the UAS.
DISClAImER
The features and benets of the UAS depend on its
conguration and may require enabled hardware,
software, or service activation. Technical results may have
been estimated or simulated, using internal analysis, or
architecture simulation, or modeling of Intel Corporation,
or Ascending Technologies GmbH, acquired by Intel
Corporation and merged into Intel Deutschland GmbH, and
provided to you for informational purposes. Any dierences
in your UAS hardware, software or conguration may aect
actual performance.

Congratulations on your new Intel® Falcon™ 8+ Unmanned
Aircraft System (UAS).
This UAS is purposely built for professional use. It is not
intended for consumer use. You should already have
experience ying a UAS, which requires control of the drone
with a ground control station similar to the one included with
the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS.
This Quick Start Guide (QSG) presents a brief summary of
the UAS, how to set it up and steps to get started. The QSG
consists of the following main sections:
• UAS Description: Packing list, UAS components, ground
control station, payloads, etc.
• Operating the UAS: Safety precautions, pre-ight and
post-ight checks, and steps to get started – preparing,
using and controlling the UAS.
Before using the UAS, please read the Terms and
Conditions of Use, and Safety Warnings enclosed with this
package. It is important that you also read the User Manual
before using the UAS. Download the User Manual at
www.intel.com/Falconmanual .
In addition, Intel strongly recommends that you attend a
pilot training before you use the UAS. For further details
on training, contact the reseller from whom you bought the
UAS, or if you bought the UAS directly from Intel, contact
Intel.

Main Components
The UAS comes with the below main components:
•The Intel Falcon 8+ UAV
• The Intel Cockpit Controller
• The Intel Powerpack Batteries
• Payload
The payload of the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS must be placed as
shown in Figure 04. Make sure that it is placed conveniently

The Intel Cockpit Controller is the main control hub for the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, and the attached payloads. It is designed to
be carried and operated by one person, and displays all relevant ight information.
The communication between the Intel Cockpit Controller, and the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, is realized by two independent 2.4
GHz digital data links. The preview video is transmitted digitally on 5.8 GHz. The Intel Cockpit Controller uses the same
battery type as the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV. The battery is located in the battery compartment, which can be accessed from the
bottom of the Intel Cockpit Controller.

There are dierent connectors on the back of the controller:
4 X USB
1 X HDMI*
The USB port, labeled USB 1, can only be used to perform Intel
Cockpit Controller rmware updates from a USB stick.
The other USB ports can be used to connect the ICC, or USB
sticks with pre-planned ight missions to be imported.
A sun shield can be attached to the touchscreen tablet to avoid
reections. It is foldable for storage and transport.

Overview of the Status Display
Touchscreen Tablet
The Status Display shows all relevant information for ying. It is built into the Intel Cockpit Controller control unit.
The touchscreen tablet is directly mounted onto the remote unit of the Intel Cockpit Controller, and cannot be removed. It is
powered by the battery of the Intel Cockpit Controller.
The touchscreen tablet serves as a video monitor, displays ight information, and gives access to extended functionality.
Via the Status Display, you can view the current settings, and
adjust specic functions of the UAV. To do so, use the four
buttons under the lower left corner of the Status Display.
Escape (left side) is used to leave menus/submenus, and
to clear functions. In the following text it is displayed as
ESC.
With the Left arrow button (middle, left side) and the
Right arrow button (middle, right side), you can scroll
through menus or alter parameters.
Enter (right side) is used to enter menus and activate
functions. In the following text it is displayed as ENT.
