## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://avss.gitbook.io/prs-m30-for-dji-m30-and-m30t/prs-m30-for-dji-m30-series/safety-instructions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.

Eye Protection	As with any system designed to launch a mass at high velocity, precautions shall be taken to prevent potential injury. Users should wear eye protection.
Never point the Parachute Pod™ towards anyone or anything	While the PRS-M30 includes features to prevent unintentional deployments, users shall be aware that the Parachute Pod™ is launched vertically. It is recommended that the operator maintains a clear area of at least five (5) meters (16 feet) after the system has been powered.
Approaching the Drone After Landing	Verify that the PSDK text window displays the "DISARMED" message before approaching the drone. Then hide the PSDK menu to avoid inadvertently pressing the MTD button before approaching the Drone after a landing or in the event of an aborted takeoff.
Ensure PRS-M30 is OFF before moving it	Do not pick up the PRS-M30 when it is powered on and connected to the drone as the sensors may interpret the movements as an in-flight failure. Power off the drone and PRS before moving the drone. See the "Calibration Processes" section for instructions on handling the drone for calibration.
Error Status	The system should not be used unless it is indicated that no errors are present. The system will not arm itself nor deploy in a failure scenario unless it has initialized successfully.
Parachute Repacking	Only parachutes packed by AVSS are compliant. The Parachute shall be repacked or replaced every twelve (12) months only by AVSS. You will no longer be compliant and will void the warranty if you attempt to repack the Parachute.
