** Maximum flight time was tested in an environment with no wind while flying at a consistent 15.5 mph (25 kph). This value is for reference only.

Remote Controller

Built into the remote controller is the DJI’s long-range transmission technology OCUSYNC™ 2.0, offering a maximum transmission range of 5 mi (8 km) and displaying video from the aircraft to the DJI GO 4 app on your mobile device at up to 1080p. An on-board LCD screen gives realtime aircraft data information and the detachable control sticks make the remote controller easier to store.
Maximum run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes

The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with no electromagnetic Interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m).
The maximum runtime is tested in a laboratory environment. This value is for reference only.

1. Download the DJI GO 4 App and Watching Tutorial Videos

Search “DJI GO 4” in the App Store or Google Play or scan the QR code below to download the app on your mobile device.

http://m.dji.net/djigo4

Watch the tutorial videos at www.dji.com/mavic-2/info#video or in DJI GO 4 by tapping the icon in the top right corner of your screen.

DJI GO 4 is compatible with iOS 10.0.2 (or later) or Android 5.0 (or later).

2. Preparing the Aircraft

Unfold the front arms and the propellers before the rear ones. All arms and propellers must be unfolded before takeoff.

3. Charging the Batteries
Use the provided charger to fully charge the Intelligent Flight Battery before first use.

Remove the remote controller cable before charging.

Checking the Battery Levels and Powering On/Off

Press once to check the battery level.
Press, then press and hold to turn on/off.

Press once to check the battery level on the LCD screen.
Press once, then press and hold to turn on/ off the remote controller.

4. Preparing the Remote Controller

Ensure the control sticks are firmly mounted.
The remote controller cable with the Lightning connector is mounted by default. Use the appropriate cable for your mobile device to connect to the remote controller. When using an iPad or tablet, use the USB port on the remote controller.
Do not use the Micro USB and the USB ports simultaneously for linking video.

5. Preparing for Takeoff Use your DJI account to activate the aircraft. Activation requires an internet connection.

6. Flight
Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in DJI GO 4 displays “Ready to Go”.

Auto Takeoff / Landing
Manual Takeoff / Landing
Combination stick command to start/stop the motors

Left stick up (slowly) to take off
Left stick down (slowly) until you touch the ground
Hold a few seconds to stop the motors

The motors can only be stopped mid-flight when the flight controller detects critical error.

Remote Controller Operation
The default flight control is known as Mode 2. The left stick controls the aircraft’s altitude and heading, while the right stick controls its forward, backward, left and right movements.
The gimbal dial controls the camera’s tilt. Press the Flight Pause button for emergency braking during flight.
In DJI GO 4
Watch the tutorials in DJI GO 4 or at the official DJI website to learn more.
Always set an appropriate RTH altitude before takeoff. When the aircraft is returning to the Home Point, you should guide it with the control sticks.

7. Fly Safe

Avoid flying over or near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water.
DO NOT fly near strong electromagnetic sources such as power lines and base stations as it may affect the onboard compass.

DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog and wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s or 22 mph. Stay away from the rotating propellers and motors.
