  • An electric soldering iron and soldering tin are required for connection. Make sure that there are no short circuits or open circuits when soldering the cables.
  • The air unit may become hot during or after operation. DO NOT touch the air unit before it cools down.
  • DO NOT use the air unit for an extended period when the temperature is high or there is poor ventilation. Otherwise, the air unit may overheat and enter low-power mode which will affect the performance.
  • When installing the antenna, make sure that the antenna is not blocked by any component.

Activation

When powered on, connect the USB-C port of the device to your computer and run DJI AssistantTM 2 to activate the device.
