a

Only use the oficial DJI lnspire 1 charger for your lntdligent Flight Battery and remote enntroller.

To charge the lnspire 1 lntelligent Flight Elattery or the remote controller, connect it to power through the port to a

suitable power source ('lOO-240V 5O/60H2).

It is recommended to turn off the batteries before charging.

Use the included charger to charge the lntelligent Flight Battery and the remote controlla battery. When fully charged, the

a

a

battery LEDs on the lntdligent Flight Elattery and remote controller will turn off.
5. Preparing the Remote Controller

Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position then adjust

the antennas as shown. The str$gth of the renrote controller

signal is different when the antenna position is different.

"-a_,, :::.:.' ::l

,O*n$ **nAE!-

The transmission signal between the aircraft and remote

controller will perform best when within the optimal

transmission range. lf the signal is weak, fly the aircraft

closer to you to achieve optimal signal performance.

0 Press the button on the side of the Mobile

Device Holder to release the clamp.

@ Place your dwice onto the clamp and adjust

the clamp to hold it securely.

@ Connect your mobile device to the remote

controller with a USB cable. Plug one end of

the cable into your mobile device, and the

other end into the USB port on the back of

the remote controller.

lf you have purchased an lnspire 1 with dual remote controllers, the Master rernote controller will connect to the aircraft

automatically when powered on. Master/Slave mode is disabled by defauh. Activate it and set it up through the DJI Pilot

app. The Masts remote controller's Status LED will show solid green when it connected to the aircraft. The Slave

rernote controller's Status LED will show solid blue when lt is connected to the Master controller.

Connecting the Master remote controller to the Slave remote contniler:

On the Master remote controller, launch the DJl Pilot app and go to the Camera page. Then tap &r,rr1l on the top of your

screen to enter the remote controller settings window. Tap 'Activate Master/Slave Mode"and select "Master". Then

enter your desired connection password for the "Slave" remote controller.

On the Slave remote controller, sdmt "Slave " and tap 'Search" to fnd the Master rernote controller. Select the "Master"

remote controller from the "Master RC Lisf' and input the connection password.

& . Do not use other 2.4GHz devices at the same time to avoid signal interference.

6. Preparing the Aircraft

The aircraft is in Travd Mode during delivery. Follow these st@s to change it

to Landing Mode before your first flight:

O lnsen the lntelligent Flight Battery into the battery compartment.
