Looking after your Vortex
Snow and Water
Even though most of the PCBs in the Vortex are coated with a conformal coating, which does
offer some protection from water, it is not recommended to get the Vortex wet, even if that
water comes in the form of snow.
If your Vortex does get wet, immediately remove power, and place it in a sealed container
containing uncooked rice, for 24 hours. The rice will absorb some of the water.
If the Vortex falls into salt water, damage may be more serious, and requires rinsing the quad
with a bath of distilled water before placing it in the sealed rice container. The Tx module may
not survive this ordeal, and may require replacing.
Note that even if the Vortex survives a salt-water bath, long term corrosive effects of the salt
on any exposed copper surfaces may result in the product failing at some point in the future.
The Sun
The camera use in the Vortex (or any camera for that matter) does not appreciate being left
staring at the sun for long periods of time.
LiPos also have a habit of living short lives when exposed to extreme heat.
It is highly recommended to store the Vortex in the shade between flights.
Dirt
The typical mini-quad tends to live a life coated in a thick layer of grass, dirt, and other
materials which happen to be in the way during landings, whether intentional, or otherwise.
It is highly recommended to keep the Vortex clean of foreign materials, especially those which
tend to conduct electricity when wet.
Jealous Friends
The Vortex does appear to have a kind of magnetic personality which could result in your
Vortex ending up in the bottom of your best mates rucksack.
This is probably the most serious of the issues listed above, take care!
