Pre-ightChecklist
1. The remote controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and your mobile device are fully charged.
2. Propellers are mounted correctly and rmly.
3. The Micro SD card is inserted, if necessary.
4. The gimbal is functioning normally.
5. Motors start properly and are functioning as normal.
6. The DJI GO app is connected to the remote controller.
Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Always calibrate the compass in every new ight location. The compass is very sensitive
to electromagnetic interference, which can produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor ight
performance or ight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance.
Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight
preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration.
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interference.
Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures, and subterranean
metal structures
.
DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular
phones.
DO NOT calibrate in direct proximity to large metal objects.
DO NOT calibrate indoors.
Calibration Procedures
Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures:
1. Go to the DJI GO app > Camera View > Aircraft Status Bar (top of the screen). Next to ‘Compass’, tap
Calibrate. Alternatively, ip the S1 switch quickly for more than 3 times. The Aircraft Status Indicator will
change from ashing yellow to solid yellow when the aircraft is ready for compass calibration.
2. Hold the aircraft upright and rotate it 360 degrees along the central axis. The Aircraft Status Indicator
will change from solid yellow to solid green when complete.
