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 aircraft 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-A TTl 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 hclding 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 boon 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 

;/) Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the 'Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases 

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH. Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

Home Point 

Smart RTH ~.u!l The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the GPS signal is strong You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon ( uii ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you move around end when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain the control. 
may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shewn. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point 

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is 

taken after 1 0 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its 

distance from the Home Point. 

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground 

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft 

identify its current position With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in placa more 

precisely and lly indoors or in other environments where !hare is no GPS signal available The main 

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar 

sensors and[2]one monocular camera 

Using VIsion Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on No manual action is 

required Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available By 

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS is available ~ /

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready Gently push the throttle up 

to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. 

it, The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials. and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments The 

aircraft will switch from "P' mode to "A' mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when 1n any of the following situations: 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e g pure black, pure white, pure red. pure green) 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces 

• Flying at high speeds( over Bm/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter) 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically 

• Flying over extremely dark (lux < 1 0) or bright (lux> 1 0,000) surfaces. 

• Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g thick carpet) 

• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e g. tiles with same design) 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft 

• In the event of loss of remote controller's signal. the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "P' mode. 

:)) • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2 5 meters 

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is 

in operation 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0 5 meters) in fast speed. 

0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals 

Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft User can gain access to 

these data through the DJI Pilot app This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status 

information, speed, and other parameters 

Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates 

the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached To attach the propellers properly,

& DJI does not take any responsibility tor damage caused by third-party chargers. ~ How to discharge your Intelligent Flight Battery: 

To effectively calibrate the battery capacity, it is recommended to charge and discharge the 

battery thoroughly for every 10 charge-and-discharge cycle User should install the battery onto 

the aircraft and then power on the aircraft to initiate the discharge process. discharge the battery 

until the aircraft is powered ott automatically. User should then tully charge the battery to ensure 

the battery is working at its optimal. 

Slow: Place the Intelligent Flight Battery into the Inspire 1's Battery Compartment and power it 

on. Leave it on until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer 

be turned on. Launch the OJI Pilot app to check battery level. 

Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can 

no longer be turned on.

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 aircraft 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 (AttHude): 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 (lOG) 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 OJI Pilot app, 

enter the 'Camera' page, tap 'MODE', and then activate 'Multiple Flight Mode'

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water 

4 Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5 Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature 

Be very careful when flying 14700 teet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced, 

6 The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in ·p• mode 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set The details of these flight limits are described in the following 

section 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations For 

safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and 

legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones 

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the 

DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits

No-Fly Zones 

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe_dji.com/no-fly_ No-Fly Zones are 

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned 

aircraft operate at low altitudes Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites 

The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1 + 1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 

feet (500 meters) at R1 +1 mile. 

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

in the DJI Pilot app.

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area Aircraft cannot takeoff within 

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 

km) of this zone, a warning message will appear in the DJI Pilot app

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location The compass is very 

sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight 

performance or even failure Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such 

as magnetite. parking structures. and steel reinforcements underground 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular 

phones 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures 

1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight 

preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration. tap Aircraft Status 

Indicator bar in the app and select "Calibrate•. then follow the on-screen instructions 

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a 

solid green light
