Installation
Mount the air unit to a racing drone and refer to the illustration below to
connect the 3-in-1 cable.
3-in-1 Cable (Power, DJI HDL, UART)
- RED: Power (7.4-26.4 V)
- BLACK: Power GND
- WHITE: UART RX (Connects to Flight Controller OSD TX, 0-3.3 V)
- GRAY: UART TX (Connects to Flight Controller OSD RX, 0-3.3 V)
- BROWN: Signal GND
- YELLOW: DJI HDL (Connects to Flight Controller S.Bus, 0-3.3 V)
- 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.
Firmware Update
Use DJI Assistant 2 to update the firmware of the air unit, goggles, and remote controller separately. Restart the device after the firmware update is complete.
Linking
Power on the air unit, the goggles, and the remote controller.
- Press the link button of the air unit and the goggles respectively. The linking status indicator of the air unit blinks red, and the goggles starts to beep continually.
- When linking is successful, the linking status indicator of the air unit turns solid green, the goggles stop beeping, and the live view will be displayed.
- Press the link button of the air unit, the linking status indicator of the air unit blinks red. Press and hold the power button of the remote controller, the remote controller starts to beep continually and the status indicator blinks in sequence.
