Altitude Zones (Gray)| The aircraft’s altitude is limited when flying inside an Altitude Zone.| The dock aircraft cannot take off, and a prompt will appear in DJI FlightHub 2 when the planned flight altitude  exceeds  the  maximum

altitude of the aircraft.

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 flight. Before 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 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.

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 GEOZones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. GEO Zones include but are not limited to airports, venues of major events, areas where emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, correctional facilities, government facilities, and military zones. Users can view real- time GEO information in DJI FlightHub 2.
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.
2. The settings and alerts provided by DJI on operations within GEO Zones are only to assist the user in ensuring flight safety and do not guarantee full compliance with all local laws and regulations. Before each flight, the user is responsible for seeking advice on the relevant local laws, regulations, and requirements, and for the safety of their aircraft.

Flight Restrictions in GEO Zones
The following section describes in detail the flight restrictions for the above-mentioned GEO Zones
Make sure the flight route does not pass through any GEO zones before launching flight tasks.

Buffer Zone

  • Buffer Zones for Restricted Zones/Authorization Zones: To prevent the aircraft from accidentally flying into a Restricted or Authorization Zone, the GEO system creates a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide outside each Restricted and Authorization Zone. As shown in the illustration below, the aircraft can only take off and land in place or fly toward an opposite direction of the Restricted or Authorization Zone when inside the buffer zone, and cannot fly toward the Restricted or Authorization Zone unless an unlocking request has been approved. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone after leaving the buffer zone.
  • Buffer Zones for Altitude Zones: A buffer zone of about 20 meters wide is established outside each Altitude Zone. As shown in the illustration below, when approaching the buffer zone of an Altitude Zone in a horizontal direction, the aircraft will gradually reduce its flight speed and hover outside the buffer zone. When approaching the buffer zone from underneath in a vertical direction, the aircraft can ascend and descend in altitude or fly in an opposite direction of the Altitude Zone, but cannot fly toward the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone in a horizontal direction after leaving the buffer zone.dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-Dock-Bundle-fig- \(7\)

Unlocking GEO Zones

To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-locking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe website. Self-unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking, the user is required to submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://www.dji.com/flysafe.Once the unlocking request is approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license to the dock using the DJI Pilot 2 app to unlock the zone. The user can designate an unlocked period during which multiple flights can be operated. Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special requirements. It designates user-defined custom flight areas and provides flight permission documents specific to the needs of different users. This unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and can be requested via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://www.dji.com/flysafe.
For more information about unlocking, please visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe or contact flysafe@dji.com.

Maximum Altitude & Distance Restrictions

Maximum flight altitude restricts the aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum flight distance restricts the aircraft’s flight radius around the dock. These limits can be set using the DJI FlightHub 2 for improved flight safety. The maximum flight altitude is 120 m (393.7 ft) by default. Fly at altitudes lower than the maximum altitude by all local laws and regulations.* Flight altitude restrictions vary in different regions. DO NOT fly above the maximum altitude outlined in your local laws and regulations.dji-

  • The aircraft cannnot avoid moving obstacles such as people, animals, or vehicles

Using the Vision System and the Infrared Sensing System
Obstacle sensing works best when the lighting is adequate and the obstacle is clearly textured. It does not work well with obstacles that are less dense such as twigs on a tree. The infrared sensing system can only be used to sense large or highly reflective obstacles and rough surfaces

  • Pay attention to the flight environment. The Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work in certain scenarios.
  • The auxiliary light is automatically enabled when there is insufficient ambient light. The vision positioning performance will be negatively affected during this time.
  • The vision system cannot function properly in dark environments and over surfaces without clear patterns or texture such as water and ice.
  • Obstacle avoidance cannot detect certain obstacles such as iron wires, cables, branches, blind spots, and mirrored surfaces.
  • The vision system system cannot work properly in the following situations:
    • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green) or those without clear texture.
    • Flying over surfaces with strong reflected light or images (e.g. water, ice, or transparent surfaces).
    • Flying over water, ice, or transparent surfaces.
    • Flying over moving surfaces or objects (e.g., moving crowds, or swaying reeds, shrubs, or grass
    • Flying in an area where lighting changes frequently or drastically or with direct exposure to strong light.
    • Flying over extremely dark (< 15 lux) or extremely bright (> 10,000 lux) surfaces.
    • Flying at high speeds below 2 m above the ground (e.g., faster than 14 m/s at a 2m height or 5 m/s at a 1m height).
    • Small obstacles (e.g., iron wires, cables, tree branches, or leaves).
    • The lens is dirty (e.g., from raindrops or fingerprints).
    • In low-visibility environments (e.g., heavy fog or snow).
  • The infrared sensing systems may NOT detect the distance accurately in the following situations:

Return to Home
Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the dock or the alternate landing site when the GNSS signal. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Signal Lost RTH. Low Battery RTH will be triggered when the aircraft battery is low. Signal Lost RTH will be triggered when the signal between the dock and the aircraft is lost. And alternate landing will be triggered if the dock is not suitable for landing. The aircraft will fly to and land on the alternate landing site.dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-Dock-
Bundle-fig- \(25\)

  • Make sure to set appropriate RTH Altitude when creating flight task plans. The RTH should also be lower than the maximum altitude.
  • The RTH feature will be disabled when the GNSS signal icon is red, or the GNSS is unavailable.

Smart RTH
Smart RTH can be triggered in DJI FlightHub 2, and cannot be cancelled once triggered.

Low Battery RTH
To avoid unnecessary danger caused by insufficient power, the aircraft will automatically calculate if it has enough power to fly to the Home Point from its current location. Flight will be interrupted and Low Battery RTH will be triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude.dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-
Dock-Bundle-fig- \(26\)
The colored zones and the estimated remaining flight time on the battery level indicator are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location and status

Signal Lost RTH

Signal lost RTH is automatically enabled when the aircraft signal is lost. The action of the aircraft when the aircraft signal is lost during flight can be set to RTH or continue flight in DJI FlightHub 2. Signal Lost RTH automatically activates if the signal lost action is set as RTH.

Signal Lost RTH Procedure:

  1. When Signal Lost RTH activates, the aircraft will fly to the dock on its original flight route for a maximum distance of 50 m (164 ft), during which it will try to reconnect to the dock.
  2. If the aircraft cannot reconnect to the dock within 50 m (164 ft) or detects obstacles during RTH, the aircraft will enter RTH and fly to the dock. If the signal is restored and the dock reconnects to the aircraft, the aircraft will remain in RTH and fly back to the dock.

RTH Procedure

  1. RTH is triggered, dock position is confirmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation.
  2. RTH:
  3. The aircraft will fly directly to the dock if it is less than 5 m (16.4 ft) from the dock and above 20 m (65.6 ft). If it is below 20 m (65.6 ft), the aircraft will ascend to a height of 20 m before flying to the dock.
  4. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m (16.4 ft) from the dock and above the preset RTH altitude, the aircraft will fly directly to the dock at the current altitude. If it is below the preset RTH altitude, the aircraft will ascend to the preset RTH altitude before flying to the dock.
  5. The aircraft will automatically fly to the dock. Dock Landing Detection will be triggered

Obstacle Sensing during RTH
During RTH, the aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the forward vision system is enabled and lighting is sufficient. The obstacle sensing procedure is as follows:

  1. When the aircraft identifies obstacles infront, it will ascend to avoid the obstacles. After avoiding an obstacle, the aircraft will fly to the dock at the current altitude and land automatically.
  2. If the aircraft cannot ascend to avoid the obstacle, it will hover. A prompt will appear in DJI FlightHub 2, reminding users to check actual flight environment using aircraft livestreams

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during RTH if the Forward and Downward Vision Systems are unavailable.
During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.

Dock Landing Detection
Dock landing detection is activated during auto landing and is executed as follows:

  1. If dock landing detection determines the dock is suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly.
  2. If the dock is not suitable for landing (fail to open dock cover, emergency stop button pressed), the aircraft will fly to the alternate landing site. If alternate landing site is not set, the aircraft will hover above the dock, and will start descending only when the battery level drops to 10 %.
  3. If the dock landing detection is not function (dock and aircraft disconnected), or the aircraft fails to land on the dock due to bad weather, the aircraft will descend below 3 m (9.8 ft) above the ground and hover. The aircraft will fly to the alternate landing site when the battery level is less than 20 %. If alternate landing site is not set, the aircraft will hover above the dock, and will start descending only when the battery level drops to 10 %.

Make sure to set an alternate landing site during dock deployment. Otherwise the aircraft may crash land if the dock is not suitable for landing, damaging the aircraft and the dock.

Alternate Landing
During RTH, the aircraft fly back to the dock, and Dock Landing Detection will be triggered. If the dock is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will enter alternate landing. During alternate landing, the aircraft will ascend to the alternate landing transfer altitude and fly to the alternate landing site. Open DJI FlightHub 2, Click Devices > Dock > Device Maintenance to view Alternate Landing Transfer Altitude.dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-
Dock-Bundle-fig- \(27\)

Auxiliary Light
The auxiliary light located at the bottom of the aircraft will automatically turn on in poor light conditions to assist the downward vision system.
The auxiliary light will automatically turn on in low-light environments when the flight altitude is under 5 m. Note that the positioning performance of the vision systems may be affected

Propellers
Using the Propellers
The Matrice 30 Series Dock Version aircraft supports both the 1671 Propeller and the 1676 High Altitude Propeller (excluded). Refer to the diagram below to choose the appropriate propellers according to the aircraft takeoff weight and the expected maximum flight altitude. The service ceiling is the theoretical maximum altitude that the aircraft can fly at normally, on the condition that the wind speed does not exceed 15 m/s when flying and 12 m/s when taking off or landing. The aircraft braking and acceleration capabilities will be reduced when flying near the service ceiling. Use the 1676 High Altitude Propeller when flying at altitudes higher than 3,000 m (9,842.5 ft) above sea level dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-Dock-Bundle-fig- \(33\)

  • Using high altitude propellers for extended periods may reduce motor life. Comparing with the ordinary propellers, if high altitude propellers are used to fly at altitudes lower than 3,000 m (9,842.5 ft) above sea level, the motor temperature rises higher, which may reduce motor life or even damage it. Therefore, use high altitude propellers only at the recommended altitude or under suitable working conditions.
  • Only use official DJI propellers. DO NOT mix propeller types.
  • Propellers are consumable components. Purchase additional propellers if necessary.
  • Make sure that propellers are unfolded and firmly tightened before placing the aircraft on the dock.
  • Make sure that all propellers are in good condition placing the aircraft on the dock. DO NOT use aged, chipped, or broken propellers.
  • Power off the aircraft before touching the propellers.
  • To avoid injury, stay away from rotating propellers or motors.
  • The dock Air Conditioning System will start heating before each flight where the surrounding temperature is approximately 0° C (32° F) or below to prevent the propellers from freezing. Return to the dock and land the aircraft as soon as possible if a motor overload warning prompt appears in DJI FlightHub 2.

Replacing the Propeller Blades

Use the H2.0 hex key to replace the propellers.

It is advised to only replace the propellers in the case of emergencies during outdoor operations. After operating, contact DJI Support or an authorized dealer for maintenance as soon as possible.dji-DOCK2212-Matrice-30-Series-
