Introduction
DJI ™
Relay works at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, which can transmit signals with a
supported DJI remote controller and aircraft, respectively. [1] The stable
signal transmission can avoid signal being blocked in complex environments.
The total working time of the relay is up to 4 hours and can be extended using
a mobile power supply. With the mount, the relay can be set up using extension
rods of different heights.
Overview
- Detachable Antennas Transmit wireless signals.
- Water Vent
- Power Button Press once to check the battery level. Press, then press and hold to power on/off.
- Status LEDs Indicate the linking status between the remote controller (RC) or aircraft (UAV) with the relay.
- Battery Level LEDs Indicate the battery level.
- 5/8″ Screw Hole For installing the mount.
- USB-C Port For charging, connecting a mobile power supply [2] or firmware updates.
Getting Started
Charging the battery
Charge the relay through the USB-C port using the charging cable (included) and a USB charger (not included). The battery is fully charged when all the battery level LEDs are on, which takes approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using it for the first time.
Installation
Mount the detachable antennas onto the relay.
Linking
Follow the steps below to link before using it for the first time.
-
Power on the remote controller and aircraft, and make sure the two devices are linked.
-
Power on the relay. After the status LEDs turn solid red, press and hold relay power button to prepare for linking.
-
Open the DJI Agras app and tap Device Management, then tap Relay > Link to start linking.
After linking successfully, the status LED (RC) of the relay will glow solid green. -
After connecting with the remote controller, the relay will link with the aircraft automatically.
The linking is successful when the status LED (UAV) becomes solid green.
- Make sure the remote controller and aircraft is within 0.5 m of the relay during linking.
- If linking fails, try again after checking the operation and the firmware version. Contact DJI Support if the issue persists.
Activation
Activation is required before using it for the first time. Follow the
instructions on DJI Agras to activate the relay after linking.
Using the Relay
During usage, it is recommended to set up the relay in high places (such as
roofs and high hills) to solve the problem of signal blockage in orchards or
fields with tall crops. Follow the instructions below to set up.
- Install the mount to the relay via the 5/8″ screw hole.
- Insert the extension rod into the mount via the screw hole, or attach the extension rod by rope. Users can select extension rods of different heights according to their requirements.
-
To ensure the signal transmission, it is recommended to set up the relay at least 2 m higher than the crops.
-
DO NOT obstruct the antennas during use.
-
DO NOT set up the relay outdoors during thunderstorms to avoid lightning strikes.
-
The relay should be used in the temperature range of 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F).
High temperatures can lead to fire or an explosion. Low temperatures can negatively affect the performance of the battery. -
The battery temperature will be high after use. Charge the relay until it cools down to room temperature. Otherwise, charging may be disabled. Charge at a temperature range of 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F). The ideal charging temperature range is 22° to 28° C (72° to 82° F). Charging within the ideal temperature range can prolong battery life.
-
Extinguish any battery fire using water, sand, or a dry powder fire extinguisher.
-
The electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, wash the affected area with water and see a doctor immediately.
