5. Preparing the Remote Controller
Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position then adjust
the antennas as shown. The strength of the remote controller
signal is different when the antenna position is different.
The transmission signal between the aircraft and remote
controller will perform best when within the optimal
transmission range. If the signal is weak, fly the aircraft
closer to you to achieve optimal signal performance.

The remote controller is by default set to Mode 2 ( throttle controlled by the left-hand stick ).
Adjust the tilt angle of camera by using the Gimbal Dial.
For the best user experience, please use mobile devices with iOS 8.0 (or higher) and Android 4.1.2 (or higher).
Read the Inspire 1 User Manual in the DJI Pilot app or official DJI website for more details.
When not in P mode, the Inspire 1 will only maintain altitude, not position, and will
drift with wind or user inputs. Return to Home is not available in F mode.
Only use the official DJI Inspire 1 charger for your Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller.
To charge the Inspire 1 Intelligent Flight Battery or the remote controller, connect it to power through the port to a
suitable power source (100-240V 50/60Hz).
It is recommended to turn off the batteries before charging.
Use the included charger to charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and the remote controller battery. When fully charged, the
battery LEDs on the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller will turn off.

Power on the remote controller.
Power on the aircraft and wait for the self-check to complete. Do not move the
aircraft during the self-check.
Ensure the remote controller is linked to the aircraft before flight. Re-link the remote
controller to the aircraft if it fails to connect. Refer to the INSPIRE 1 User Manual
on how to link.
Ensure the remote controller and your mobile device are connected with a USB
cable. Launch the DJI Pilot app when connecting to the aircraft for the first time,
and follow the instructions within the app.
Launch the DJI Pilot app and tap “Camera”. Ensure the aircraft is functioning
normally by completing the Checklist.Beginner Mode is enabled by default when
you launch the DJI Pilot app for the first time. The aircraft’s altitude and flight
distance is restricted when flying in Beginner Mode. We recommend you fly in
Beginner Mode when using the aircraft for the first time. You may disable Beginner
Mode in the settings page of the DJI Pilot app.
Calibrate Compass: tap“MODE”in the app and select “Compass Calibration” to
calibrate the compass, then follow on-screen instructions.
