The aircraft beeps twice after a short beep, and its battery level LEDs blink in sequence to indicate it is ready to link. The remote controller will beep twice, and its status LED will turn solid green to indicate linking is successful.

• Make sure the remote controller is within 0.5 m of the aircraft during the linking.
• The remote controller will automatically unlink from an aircraft if a new remote controller is linked to the same aircraft.
• Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for optimal video transmission.

Controlling the Aircraft
Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available and custom modes can be configured in the DJl Fly app. The default control mode of the remote controller is Mode 2. In this manual, Mode 2 is used as an example to illustrate how to use the control sticks.

• Stick Neutral/Center Point: control sticks are in the center.
• Moving the control stick: the control stick is pushed away from the center position.

the aircraft.
• Push the stick up to ascend and push down to descend.
• The aircraft hovers in place if the stick is in the center.
• The more the stick is pushed away from the center, the faster the aircraft changes elevation.
Use the left stick to take off when the motors are spinning at an idle speed. Push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected changes in altitude.
| | Yaw Stick: moving the left stick to the left or right controls the orientation of the aircraft.
• Push the stick left to rotate the aircraft counterclockwise and right to rotate the aircraft dlockwise.
• The aircraft hovers in place if the stick is in the center.
• The more the stick is pushed away from the center, the faster the aircraft rotates.
| | Pitch Stick: moving the right stick up and down to change the pitch of the aircraft.
• Push the stick up to fly forward and down to fly backward.
• The aircraft hovers in place if the stick is in the center.
• The more the stick is pushed away from the center, the faster the aircraft moves.
| | Roll Stick: moving the right stick to the left or right changes the rollof the aircraft.
• Push the stick eft to fly left and right to fly right.
• The aircraft hovers in place if the stick is in the center.
• The more the stick is pushed away from the center, the faster the aircraft moves.

Flight Mode Switch
Toggle the switch to select the desired flight mode.

Flight Pause/RTH Button
Press once to make the aircraft brake and hover in place. Press and hold the button until the remote controller beeps and starts RTH, and the aircraft will return to the last recorded Home Point. Press this button again to cancel RTH and regain control of the aircraft. Optimal Transmission Zone
The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are positioned in relation to the aircraft as illustrated below.
The optimal transmission range is where the antennas face toward the aircraft and the angle between the antennas and the back of the remote controller is 180° or 270°.

• DO NOT use other wireless devices operating at the same frequency as the remote controller. Otherwise, the remote controller will experience interference.
• A prompt will be displayed in DJI Fly if the transmission signal is weak during flight.
  Adjust the antennas to make sure that the aircraft is in the optimal transmission range.

Controlling the Gimbal and Camera
