4. Setup
- Unfolding the Pad: Carefully unfold the landing pad from its compact, folded state. The pad is designed to lay flat naturally.
- Choosing a Location: Select a clear, level area for drone operation. The pad is suitable for various terrains including grass, sand, stone, and paved roads.
- Positioning the Pad: Place the landing pad on the chosen surface. You can use either the orange or gray side facing up, depending on which color provides better contrast with the ground for optimal visibility from your drone.
- Ensuring Stability: Due to its weight and material, the pad is designed to resist displacement from drone prop wash. Ensure it is not placed on a slope or in an area where it could easily slide.

5. Operating Instructions
The CYNOVA landing pad simplifies drone operations by providing a dedicated, clean, and visible area.
- Takeoff: Place your drone centrally on the "H" mark of the unfolded landing pad. Initiate your drone's takeoff sequence as per its manufacturer's instructions. The pad helps keep dust and debris away from the drone's motors and sensors during liftoff.
- Landing: When returning your drone, guide it towards the landing pad. The high-contrast colors and "H" symbol make the pad easily identifiable from the air, even at altitudes up to 50 meters. Aim for a gentle, controlled descent onto the center of the pad.
- Visibility: The dual-sided design allows you to choose the most visible color for your current environment. For example, the orange side may be more visible against dark ground, while the gray side might stand out better against light-colored surfaces.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CYNOVA Drone Landing Pad, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: The waterproof PU PVC material is easy to clean. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or stains. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying.
- Drying: Always ensure the pad is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: Fold the pad neatly along its creases. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The compact folded size makes it convenient to store in a bag or backpack.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the pad for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. While highly durable, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or sharp objects can cause damage.

7. Troubleshooting
Most issues with the landing pad are related to improper placement or environmental factors. Here are some common scenarios and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pad shifts during drone takeoff/landing. | Uneven surface; extremely high winds; drone prop wash too strong for light pad. | Ensure pad is on a flat surface. Avoid use in very high winds. The CYNOVA pad is weighted to resist prop wash, but extreme conditions may require additional securing (e.g., small weights on corners, if safe). |
| Drone has difficulty identifying the pad. | Poor visibility due to terrain color; low light conditions. | Flip the pad to the contrasting color side (orange or gray) for better visibility. Ensure adequate lighting if operating in low-light conditions. |
| Pad appears dirty or stained. | Accumulation of dirt, mud, or other debris from use. | Clean the pad with a damp cloth and mild soap solution as described in the Maintenance section. |
