Remote Control Device

Refer to the appendix for the goggles and remote control devices supported by DJI Avata. This manual only takes DJI Goggles 2, DJI FPV Goggles V2, DJI Motion Controller, and DJI FPV Remote Controller 2 as examples.
The remote control devices reach their maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide open area with no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 120 m (400 ft). The maximum transmission distance refers to the maximum distance that the aircraft can still send and receive transmissions. It does not refer to the maximum distance the aircraft can fly in a single flight. Maximum hover time was tested in an environment with no wind or interference. Using the goggles does not satisfy the requirement of visual line of sight (VLOS). Some countries or regions require a visual observer to assist during flight. Make sure to comply with local regulations when using the goggles.

Aircraft
DJI Avata contains a flight controller, gimbal and camera, video downlink system, vision system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Avata has three flight modes, which can be switched via the flight mode switch or button on the remote control devices.
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the Downward Vision System, and the Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilize. When the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the vision system. When the Downward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight attitude angle is 25° and the maximum flight speed is 8 m/s. Sport Mode: The aircraft utilizes the GNSS and Downward Vision System to automatically stabilize itself. In Sport mode, aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum flight speed is 14 m/s. Manual Mode: Classic FPV aircraft control mode with the highest maneuverability, which can be used for racing and freestyle flying. In Manual mode, all flight assistance functions such as automatic stabilization are disabled and proficient control skills are required. In Normal or Sport mode, when the Downward Vision System is unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference, the aircraft cannot position itself or brake automatically, which increases the risk of potential flight hazards. At this time, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.
Manual mode is only supported when using the DJI FPV remote controller 2 to operate the aircraft, and the throttle stick can be adjusted in this mode. DJI motion controller does not support Manual mode.
When using Manual mode, move the remote control sticks to directly control the throttle and attitude of the aircraft. The aircraft has no flight assistance functions such as automatic stabilization and can reach any attitude. Only experienced pilots should use Manual mode. Failure to operate in this mode properly is a safety risk and may even lead to the aircraft crashing. Manual mode is disabled by default. Make sure that the switch is set to Manual mode in the goggles before switching to Manual mode. The aircraft will remain in Normal or Sport mode if the switch is not set to Manual mode in the goggles. Go to Settings > Control > Remote Controller > Button Customization, and then set the Custom Mode to Manual Mode. Before using Manual mode, it is recommended to adjust the screw on the rear of the throttle stick so that the stick does not recenter and to practice flying in the mode using DJI Virtual Flight. When using Manual mode for the first time, the maximum attitude of the aircraft will be limited. After you are familiar with flying in Manual mode, the attitude restriction can be disabled in the goggles. Go to Settings > Control > Remote Controller > Gain & Expo > M Mode Attitude Limit. When turning the aircraft at high speed in Manual mode, the attitude may become unstable. Avoid moving the aircraft laterally to ensure a stable flight. If using the manual mode when the battery is low, the aircraft power output is limited, please fly with caution. The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions. The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.

Return to Home
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point and lands when the GNSS signal is strong. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. If the aircraft successfully recorded the Home Point and the GNSS signal is strong, the RTH will be triggered when either Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft battery level is low, or the signal between the remote control device and the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal scenarios such as where video transmission is lost.

Home Point

GNSS
20

Description
The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong or moderately strong GNSS signal (where the icon shows white). The aircraft status indicator blinks green quickly and a prompt appears in the goggles to confirm the Home Point has been recorded.

Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH can be initiated or canceled by the remote control devices. After exiting RTH, users will regain control of the aircraft.
Low Battery RTH
When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, DJI Avata will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sufficient to return to the Home Point based on the current location. Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected. RTH can be canceled by the remote control devices. If RTH is canceled following a low battery warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft being crashed or lost.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The remote control devices can be used to alter the direction of the aircraft during the landing process. Pressing the accelerator when using the motion controller during landing can make the aircraft stop descending and fly at the current altitude to adjust the horizontal position. The aircraft will continue to descend after releasing the accelerator.
Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote control signal is lost for more than 3.5 seconds. The aircraft will fly backwards for 50 m on its original flight route and enter Straight Line RTH. The aircraft enters Straight Line RTH if the remote control signal is restored during Failsafe RTH. The response of the aircraft when the wireless signal is lost can be changed in the goggles. The aircraft will not execute Failsafe RTH if land or hover has been selected in the settings.
Other RTH Scenarios
A prompt will appear in the goggles and RTH will be initiated if the video download signal is lost during flight, while the remote control devices can still be used to control the movements of the aircraft. 21 © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Avata User Manual
RTH (Straight Line)
1. The Home Point is recorded automatically. 2. RTH is triggered. 3. If the aircraft is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it lands immediately.
If the aircraft is more than 5 m and less than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will return home at the current altitude with a maximum horizontal speed of 3 m/s. If the aircraft is further than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will ascend to the RTH altitude and return home at a horizontal speed of 12 m/s. The aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude if the RTH altitude is lower than the current altitude. 4. After reaching the Home Point, the aircraft lands and the motors stop.
During RTH, obstacles around and above the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided. The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. If the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after Failsafe RTH is triggered, the aircraft will hover for a while before landing. Before each flight, it is important to enter Settings and then Safety on the goggles and set a suitable RTH altitude. During RTH, if the aircraft is flying forward and the remote controller signal is normal, the DJI FPV remote controller 2 can be used to control the speed of the aircraft, but cannot control the orientation or fly left or right. The orientation and horizontal position of the aircraft can be controlled when it is descending. When the aircraft is ascending or flying forward, push the control stick completely in the opposite direction to exit RTH. The aircraft will hover if it flies into a GEO Zone during RTH. The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.
Landing Protection
Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land. 1. Once Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable, the aircraft will land gently. 2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will exit landing, then hover and wait for pilot
confirmation. 3. If Landing Protection is not operational, the goggles will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends
to 0.25 m. Press and hold the lock button on the motion controller, or pull down on the throttle stick of the remote controller to land.
When flying in strong winds, the aircraft will save power for landing by automatically adjusting the orientation to be consistent with the wind direction before landing. The landing protection only works in certain scenarios and cannot replace the control and judgment of the user. During landing, pay attention to the surrounding environment of the landing point and avoid obstacles that are not suitable for landing such as trees, branches, and bushes.

Using the Vision System
The positioning function of the Downward Vision System is applicable when the GNSS signals are unavailable or weak. It is automatically enabled in Normal or Sport mode.

DJI Avata User Manual
Pay attention to the flight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During flight, pay attention to the surrounding environment and to the warnings on the goggles. Be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times. The aircraft has a max hovering altitude of 20 m when using the vision system in an open and flat environment with clear texture. The best positioning altitude range of the vision system is 0.5 to 10 m. The vision positioning performance may decrease when flying beyond this range. Fly with caution. The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid the water below when landing. It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid over-relying on the Downward Vision System. Note that the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast. The vision system cannot work properly over surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the light is too weak or too strong. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green). b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces. c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e) Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes. f) Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces. g) Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors). h) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture (e.g., power poles). i) Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or texture (e.g., tiles with the same design). j) Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches). Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in environments with significant dust or humidity. DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System. If the aircraft is involved in a collision, it may be necessary to calibrate the vision system. Calibrate the vision system if the app prompts you to do so. DO NOT fly when it is rainy, smoggy, or the visibility is lower than 100 m. Check the following every time before takeoff: a) Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of the Downward Vision
System and Infrared Sensing system. b) Use soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the Downward Vision System and
Infrared Sensing system. DO NOT use any cleaning product that contains alcohol. c) Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Downward Vision System or Infrared
Sensing System.
Flight Recorder
Flight data including flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters are automatically saved to the internal data recorder of the aircraft. The data can be accessed using DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series).

DJI Avata User Manual Using the Eyeglass Frames
The goggles support diopter adjustment in the range of -8.0 D to +2.0 D. The goggles do not support astigmatism correction. If you require astigmatism correction or the goggles’ diopter is unsuitable, you can purchase additional lenses and use the eyeglass frames to install them on the goggles.
When purchasing lenses, bring the eyeglass frames (a pair) to a professional optical shop to ensure that the shape, size, astigmatism axis, and edge thickness (< 2.8 mm) of the lenses meet the installation requirements of the eyeglass frames. The overall diopter is the sum of the goggles’ diopter and the diopter of the additional lenses. Make sure to adjust the diopter of the goggles first and lock the knobs before installing the eyeglass frames. If the installed lens supports astigmatism correction, do not rotate the knob after the eyeglass frame is installed. Otherwise, the astigmatism axis will shift resulting in blurred vision. Make sure to adjust the diopter of the goggles before installing the eyeglass frames. 1. Detach the eyeglass frame and remove the original dummy lens.
2. Install the prepared lens as shown. Make sure to distinguish the left lens and the right one.
< 2.8 mm
3. Adjust the diopter of the goggles according to your needs and lock the knobs. For example, if you usually wear -6.0 D glasses and the self-prepared lens is -3.0 D, then you will need to adjust the diopter of the goggles to -3.0 D to ensure that the overall diopter is -6.0 D after the eyeglass frame is installed on the goggles.

Flight
After completing the pre-flight preparation, it is recommended to train your flying skills and practice flying safely. Make sure that all flights are carried out in an open area. The flying height is limited to 500 m. DO NOT exceed this height. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Make sure to read the DJI Avata Safety Guidelines to understand the safety notices before flying.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 10.7 m/s, snow, rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m above water). 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near power
lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers. 5. The aircraft and battery performance are limited when flying at high altitudes. Be careful when flying 16,404 ft
(5,000 m) or more above sea level. 6. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in the polar regions. Use the vision system instead. 7. DO NOT take off from moving objects, such as cars and ships. 8. In strong winds, the vertical speed of the aircraft may be limited. Adjusting the nose of the aircraft to fly
downwind can reduced power loss for a greater vertical speed. 9. When the aircraft turns at high speed or side brakes suddenly in a strong wind environment, the attitude may
become unstable. Please fly with caution. 10. DO NOT use the aircraft in an environment at risk of a fire or explosion.
Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
Maximum flight altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum flight distance restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be set using the goggles for improved flight safety.

For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only fly the aircraft within visual line of sight.

DJI Avata User Manual
GEO Zones
DJI’s GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights, and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. Users can view such information in real-time in DJI Fly. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://www. dji.com/flysafe/geo-map.

DJI Avata dissipates heat by using the airflow of the propellers to prevent the aircraft from overheating. When the aircraft is in standby mode for a long time, the temperature may rise. In this situation, the built-in temperature control system can detect the current temperature and will power off the aircraft automatically to prevent overheating. The general standby time periods of the aircraft in the stationary state are as follows. If these times are exceeded, the aircraft may automatically power off to prevent overheating (tested in an indoor environment with an ambient temperature of 25). a. When in standby mode on the ground: about 21 minutes; b. When updating firmware: about 18 minutes (please update within 10 minutes of powering on the
aircraft, otherwise the update may fail due to overheating); c. When connecting to the computer using the USB-C port, the aircraft will not overheat and can be
used for longer.
These specifications have been determined through tests conducted with the latest firmware. Firmware updates can enhance performance. It is highly recommended to update to the latest firmware.

FAR Remote ID Compliance Information
The aircraft complies with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89: The aircraft automatically broadcasts Remote ID messages from takeoff to shut down. An external device such as a cell phone or tablet is required to be connected as a location source to DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system [1], and must run the DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app to obtain its accurate location information. The connected external device must minimally be one of the following: 1) FCC Certified personal wireless device that uses GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location services; or 2) FCC Certified personal wireless device with integrated GNSS. Also, the external device must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location reported and its correlation to the operator location. The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-flight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system before takeoff and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST [2] . The results of the PFST of the Remote ID system can be viewed in either a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles. The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-flight to shut down. If the Remote ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in either a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.
Footnotes [1] DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system such as DJI RC-N1, DJI FPV Goggles V2, and DJI
Goggles 2. [2] The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-data source and
transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
