# Remote Controller Remote Controller Profile The Inspire 1 Remote Controller is a multi-function wireless communication device that integrates the video downlink ground system and aircraft Remote Controller system. The video downlink and aircraft Remote Controller system operate at 2.4 GHz with maximum transmission distance of 2km. The remote controller features a number of camera functions, such as taking and previewing photos and video, and controlling gimbal motions. The remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery. The current battery level is displayed by LEDs on the front panel of the remote control. Compliance Version: The Remote Controller is compliant with both CE and FCC regulations. Operating Mode: Control can be set to Mode 1 , Mode 2. Mode 1: The right stick serves as the throttle. Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle. Do not operate more than 3 aircrafts within in the same area (size equivalent to a soccer field) to prevent transmission interference. 

## Remote Controller Operations Powering On And Off The Remote Controller The Inspire 1 remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery with a capacity of 6000mAh. The battery level is indicated by the Battery Level LEDs on the front panel. Follow the steps below to power on your remote controller: 1.

### Controlling Aircraft This section explains how to use the various features of the remote controller. The Remote Controller is set to Mode 2 by default.

### 26 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. Remote Controller (Mode 2) Aircraft ( indicates nose direction) Remarks Moving the left stick up and down changes the aircraft’s elevation. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. Push the throttle stick up to takeoff. When both sticks are centered, the Inspire 1 will hover in place. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the Inspire 1 will change elevation. Always push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected elevation changes. Moving the left stick to the left or right controls the rudder and rotation of the aircraft. Push the sick left to rotate the aircraft counter clock-wise, and push the stick right to rotate the aircraft clockwise. If the stick is centered, the Inspire 1 will stay facing its current direction. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the Inspire 1 will rotate. Moving the right stick up and down changes the aircraft’s forward and backward pitch. Push the stick up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The Inspire 1 will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further away from the center position for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight. Moving the right stick control left and right changes the aircraft’s left and right pitch. Push left to fly left and right to fly right. The Inspire 1 will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further away from the center position for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight. Gimbal Dial: Turn the dial to the right, and the camera will shift to point upwards. Turn the dial to the left, and the camera will shift to point downwards. The camera will remain in its current position when dial is static. Stick Neutral/ mid point: Control sticks of the Remote Controller are placed at the central position. Move the Stick: The control stick is pushed away from the central position.© 2015 DJI.

P P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraf t is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, enter the "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multipl e Flight Mode" .
