Operating Environment

Warning:

DO NOT perform the flight operation in severe weather conditions, including strong winds (speeds exceeding 12 m/s), sandstorms, snow, rain, smog, hail, lightning, tornadoes, or hurricanes. The aircraft can withstand a wind speed of up to 12 m/s during takeoff and landing. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m above water).
Be extremely alert when flying near areas with magnetic or radio interference. It is recommended to set the remote controller as controller B during flight tests. Pay close attention to the video transmission quality and signal strength on DJI Pilot 2. Sources of electromagnetic interference include but are not limited to: high voltage lines, large-scale power transmission stations, or mobile base stations and broadcasting towers. The aircraft may behave abnormally or lose control when flying in areas with too much interference. Return to the dock and land the aircraft, and make future task plans until the flight test is stable.
Only operate the dock and the aircraft for applications in the operating temperature range. The operating temperature of the dock is -35° to 50° C (-31° to 122° F), and the operating temperature of the aircraft is -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F). In low-temperature environments, it is necessary to check whether the dock cover and the aircraft is covered with snow and ice, and whether the propellers are frozen using the dock camera livestream.
DO NOT install the dock near dangerous sources without permission, such as gas stations, oil depots, and dangerous chemical warehouses.
DO NOT install the dock in a site with flammable materials such as debris and catkins that are easy to accumulate.
DO NOT install the dock on moving objects, such as cars and boats.

Notice

Fly in wide open areas. Tall buildings, steel structures, mountains, rocks, or tall trees may affect the accuracy of the GNSS and block the video transmission signal.
It is recommended to consider the future environmental factors of the installation site. Make sure to avoid areas with large-scale construction plans or large environmental changes in the future, including but not limited to the growth of weeds and trees (such as bamboo forests and vines), new buildings, bridges, communication base stations, and high-voltage towers. If there is any change, re-survey is required.
It is recommended to consider whether the planned flight area is near or in a Restricted Zone. Make sure to apply for a GEO Zone Unlocking License and import it to the aircraft during installation and configuration.
The site altitude should not be higher than 4000 m. Make sure there are no obvious biological destructive factors such as rodent infestation and termites at the installation site.
Avoid installing the dock in lightning strike areas.
Avoid areas that are prone to water accumulation, severe erosion, landslides, heavy snow accumulation, or other natural disasters.
Try to avoid installing the dock in areas with chemical plants or septic tanks downwind to prevent pollution and corrosion. It is recommended that the straight-line distance from the nearest coastline is greater than 500 m.
Avoid installing the dock directly under strobe lights and uncontrolled artificial light sources (with many reflective items on the ground). Otherwise, it will interfere with the vision system of the aircraft, affecting its landing and flight stability.
Try to keep the dock a distance of more than 200 m from strong electromagnetic wave interference sites, such as radar stations, microwave stations, mobile communication base stations, and drone jamming equipment.
Try to keep the dock away from iron ore and large steel structures or buildings to avoid interference with the aircraft compass.
Try to keep the dock away from areas with strong vibration sources and strong noise. Otherwise, it will cause interference to the environment sensors of the dock, and at the same time easily lead to a decrease in the operating life of the whole machine.

Flight Safety Notice

Warning

Make sure you are not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or anesthesia or suffering from dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or any other physical or mental conditions that could impair your ability to operate the dock safely.
Make sure to set an alternate landing site before flight. The aircraft will fly to the alternate landing site when the dock is not suitable for landing. Follow the instructions in DJI Pilot 2 to set an alternate landing site when deploying the dock. An obvious sign should be set up near the alternate landing site. Make sure that the area within the five-meter radius of the alternate landing site is clear of obstacles.
Stay away from spinning propellers and motors to avoid injury during take off or landing.
When flying in windy weather, be sure to consider the power reserved for the aircraft RTH, allowing to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, or people.
If the aircraft accidentally falls into water, DO NOT power on the aircraft immediately after picking it up. Powering on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause permanent component damage.
Stop using the aircraft if it does not work properly. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been involved in a collision.
Contact DJI Support or a DJI authorized dealer for assistance.
Only use genuine DJI parts or DJI authorized parts. Unauthorized parts may cause system malfunctions and compromise flight safety.
DO NOT modify or alter the aircraft or the dock. Unauthorized modification may cause malfunctions and affect the functionality and safety of the aircraft.

Notice

If a warning message appears in DJI FlightHub 2, click the message to view warning details, and follow the instructions to conduct remote debugging.
After a task plan is launched, the dock will automatically check whether the environment (such as wind speed, rainfall and external temperature) is suitable for flight tasks. If not, the aircraft will not be able to take off.
To ensure flight precision, when importing flight routes to DJI FlightHub 2, make sure the RTK signal source of the flight route is the same as the signal source used to calibrate the dock RTK. Otherwise, the actual flight trajectory of the aircraft differs from the preset flight route, and may even cause the aircraft to crash.
DO NOT completely rely on the vision system, infrared sensing system, information provided by DJI FlightHub 2, and other system functions. The vision and infrared sensing systems cannot work in certain environmental conditions, and the aircraft may not automatically sense an obstacle and brake.
Before sending a flight mission to the dock, make sure to confirm the safety of the flight route in advance and set a reasonable RTH altitude. The RTH altitude is related to the home point. Make sure the RTH altitude is higher than any obstacle in the operation area.
It is recommended to set the remote controller as controller B during flight tests. During on-site flight tests, the remote controller can take over control and manually control flight.
