Figure 7 

2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

( 1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40~50% cl1arge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges - ( 40%~50% )---o%-1 00%-( 40%~50% ). 

(4) Pu1·chase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely impo11ant. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

:(j: Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open. unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, il is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide 

to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely, Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable 

location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight 

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Preflight Checklist 

(I) Remote Control, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. 

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly. 

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

(5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed. 

(7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary, 

(8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. 

(9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 

(10) OJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

1 daiJbratii-l~the corilpassf .. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate lhe compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to 

eleclromagnetrc interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is requir·ed 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. 

1.1 Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more 

details.

disappear after successful calibration. 

1.2 When to Recalibrate 

( 1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. 

(2) Flying in different location to last flight. 

(3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. 

(4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines.

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the 

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

Tl1ere are two methods to stop the motors. 

Figure 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. 

Release both sticks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. 

[II [2] 

Figure .:,o Figure 51 

0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. 

:\): • Conduct the esc as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. 

• Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push 

the tllrottle stick upward to release throttle lock.

3.1 Take off/Landing Procedures 

( 1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 

(2) Power on the Remote Control and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. 

(3) Launch the OJ! VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera prevrew page. 

( 4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator· blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, 

it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. 

(5) Pusll tile throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Control Operation (Page 18) for more details. 

(6) Shoot photos and videos using the OJI VISION App. Refer to OJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. 

(7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. 

(8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the 

motors stop. 

(9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Control. 
Flight 

L)\, • When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function( Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight inforrnation:www.dji.corn/phantom2visionplus/training. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

( 1) Work through the check list before each flight. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. 

(3) Aim lo shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 

(5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

4 ~,!Wsafe Fundiion The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Control is lost. The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

rn Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Control signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJ I Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

( I) The Remote Control is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote control range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Control and the Phantom has been blocked. 

( 4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Control. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initialing the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

6 Flight Limits 

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

(lnlemalional Civil Aviation Organization) 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, 

distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

rn Default par·ameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

• If the Phantom flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back within range 

automatically. 

6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas 

Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji. 

com/fly-safe/category-me. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major 

international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. 
Flight 

Category A Safety Zone 

(I) The categmy A "safely zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restricted-altitude zones". Flight 

is pmvented in the ··no-fly zone'' but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. 

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) ai"Ound a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. 

(3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 

35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km). 

(~) A "war111ng zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a 

warning message will appear on the DJI Vision app. 

Category B Safety Zone 

(1) Category B "safety zone" is comprised of a "no-fly zone" and a "warning zone". 

(2) 0.6 miles (1 km) ai"Ound the safety zone is a designated "no-fly zone". 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 0.6 miles (1 Km) of this zone, a warning 

will appear on the DJI Vision app.

Step 1 Launching Ground Station: 

DJI VISION App Usage 

Enallle ground station in the Settings section of the DJI Vision app. A disclaimer for Ground Station will appear. Read 

t11rs tllorougllly before using Ground Station. 

Figure 100 

Ensure your mobile device has access to the Internet. Due to the map data required, Wi-Fi connection is recommended. 

Internet access is required to cache the ground station map, if Wi-Fi is unavailable, mobile data service is required. Open 

the DJI Vision app camera GUI and swipe left to launch ground station(see Figure 101). DJI Vision app cannot connect 

to your aircraft white it is accessing the Internet. Hence, you rnay prompt with the warning message such as "Connection 

lo Phantom Failed". This message will not appear when your aircraft is re-connected to DJI Vision app. Map data of your 

current location will load. You can then drag the map to cache nearby areas for future use( see Figure 102). 

Figure 102 

Step 2 Setting a Waypoint: 

Disconnect from the Internet and connect the DJI Vision app to your aircraft. Check that remote control S1 switch is in 

,,,~position (position-!) and the upper left corner in ground station display Ia@ and wait for the aircraft to enter "Readyto-Fly" mode (LED indicator blinking green) before swiping left into ground station. Tap on the map to place a waypoint. 

You can place up to 16 waypoints including the Home point. Waypoints cannot be placed beyond 500m from the Horne 

porn I or inside No Waypoint Areas. 

Fiqure 103 Figure 104 
DJI VISION App Usage 

& • A circle on the rnap, as shown in Figure 104, indicates a restricted, No Waypoint area. Waypoints cannot be 

placed in this area. For rnore information, refer to "6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas (P30)" 

• To achieve the optimal video transmission quality, the aircraft is set to operate IMthin a 500rn-radius area from Home point. 

Tap on a waypoint to open a waypoint properties window. Slide the white dot right to adjust waypoint altitude. The 

default altitude is set to 98 feet (30 m) and can be adjusted from 0 to 650 feet (200m). Tap "OK" to save waypoint 

sellings. To delete current waypoint, lap lim]. Modify longitude and latitude value using the input box. 

Figure 105 

Step 3 Preview a Mission: 

Tap "Done" to preview the mission when all waypoints are set. A prompt similar to the one below will appear. 

This prornpl lists all waypoinls and their alt'ltudes. The aircraft Vlirll fly to each waypoinllisted. If there ·,sa difference in altitude 

between waypoints, the aircraft will adjust its altitude as it flies between points. When ready, lap "GO" to begin mission. 

GO 

Figure 106 

& Aircraft reacts differently to the "GO" command: 

• If aircraft rs on the ground, the aircraft takes off automatically and ascend 16 feet (5m) then fly to the first waypoint. 

• If aircraft is in the air, the aircraft flies to the first waypoint. 

Step 4 Executing Flight Mission 

The aircraft flies to each waypoint in numerical order. As it flies, swipe back into the DJI Vision app camera GUI to 

control camera tilt and capture photos or video. Tap m to pause the mission during the flight, and aircraft will then start 

l1over'rng. Tap 1:1 to resume rn'rssion. If you wish to regain control of the aircraft, toggle the S1 switch on remote control 

from •.®; (Position-1) to either C"": (Position-2) or·:~;' (Position-3) to discontinue the current mission. 

Step 5 Landing 

When all waypo'rnts have been visited, the a'rrcraft w'rll return to 'rts Home po'rnt and hover. Regain control of the aircraft 

and land it manually. You may also tap !!:l button to initiate "Go Home" procedure. Aircraft will abort current mission, 

retum to Home point and auto land.

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

Appendix 

II the Remote Control stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC 

and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(I) One of the Remote Control's stick posit"rons (except the throttle stick) is not centered when power"rng on the Phantom 

2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Control sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to 

re-r·ecmd the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Control sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic-> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control sticks through 

tl1eir complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Control calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Control to OJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Control to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land 

at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are 

familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobrle devrces do not support the synchronization of the 1 080i60 video files.

Solution: If using tile App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solutron: Yes, user can cacl1e map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.

This chapter describes the features of 

the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning 

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery. 
Aircraft 

The Inspire 1 's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Horne and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Three flight modes are available. The details of eacll flight mode are found in the section below: 

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-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 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. 

:ij: 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 INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEOs are shown in the figure below:

The Return to Horne (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. 

GPS 

Home Point 

Smart RTH 

bescriptron 

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 ( ;~,u:l ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you 

rnove around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

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

RTH button in the OJI 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. 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that 

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shown. 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 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. 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 place more 

precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there 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 hover'rng even when 

no GPS is available.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

1. Toggle tile switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 

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

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

6 The performance of your Inspire 1 's Vision Positioning Systern is subject to the surface you are 

flyi11g 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 in 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 8m/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 1001ux). 

• 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.

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-ATII: 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

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery. 

Updating the Aircraft Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100MB of free space on 

the SO card. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/ 

inspire-1). 

2. Insert the SO into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SO card. 

Remove the SO card from your PC. Ensure the Inspire 1 is powered off then insert the SO card into the 

SO card slot on the Inspire 1 camera. 

Step 3- Update the Aircraft 

Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a short 

pulse of "0-0-0-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgrade is in progress and sound a "D---00" 

beeping sound to indicate the update is complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the ".txt" file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text "result: successful" is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text "result: failed" is found or the gimbal sound a long beep sound. 

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

Remote controller firmware is included in the aircraft firmware update package. Use the same update 

package file that is downloaded from the OJI official website. Ensure the remote controller battery level is 

above 50%. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SO card or USB thumb drive. 

2. Insert the SO card into a SO card reader or the USB disk onto the remote controller USB port when 

remote controller powered off. If you do not have a SO card reader, you may insert the SO card into 

the gimbal and connect the gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller. 

Step 3- Update the Remote Controller 

1. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off the 

remote controller during the update. 

2. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a 

beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the update is 

in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping sound will stop if the 

upgrade is completed with success. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid red if upgrade is 

failed. Try upgrade again.
