1 Preparing the Remote Controller

1. Remove the control sticks from the storage slots and mount them on the remote

controller.

2. Pull out the mobile device holder. Choose the appropriate remote controller cable

based on the port type of your mobile device (the cable with a USB-C connector is

connected by default). Place your mobile device in the holder, then connect the end

of the cable without the remote controller logo to your mobile device. Make sure your

mobile device is securely in place.

• If a USB connection prompt appears when an Android mobile device is used,

select the option to charge only. Other options may cause the connection to fail.

• Adjust the mobile device holder to make sure your mobile device is rmly

secure.

controller will automatically power o after the alert stops. Move the control sticks or

press any button to cancel the alert.

7 Optimal Transmission Zone

The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the

antennas are positioned in relation to the aircraft as illustrated below. If the signal is

weak, adjust the remote controller orientation or antenna position, or y the aircraft

closer to the remote controller.

Optimal Transmission

Zone

Weak Signal

• DO NOT use other wireless devices operating at the same frequency as the

remote controller. Otherwise, the remote controller will experience interference.

• A prompt will be displayed in DJI Fly if the transmission signal is weak

during ight. Adjust the remote controller orientation according to the attitude

indicator display to make sure that the aircraft is in the optimal transmission

range.
