# Remote Controller Remote Controller Profle 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 5 km. 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 feld) 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. When powered off, press the Power Button once and the Battery Level LEDs will display the current battery level. 2. Then, press and hold the Power Button to power on the remote co ntroller. 3. The Remote Controller will beep when it powers on. The Status LED will blink green (slave remote controller blinks solid purple) rapidly, indicating that the remote controller is linking to the aircraft. The Status LED will show a solid green light when linking is completed. 4. Repeat step 2 to power off the remote controller after fnish us ing it.

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 fy forward and down to fy 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 fight. Moving the right stick control left and right changes the aircraft’s left and right pitch. Push left to fy left and right to fy 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 fight. 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 GO app, enter the "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multipl e Flight Mode" . 

### Transformation Switch / RTH Button The Transformation Switch / RTH Button combination serves two functions. Toggle the switch up or down to raise or lower the landing gear. Or, press the button to act ivate the Return to Home (RTH) procedure. Transformation Switch This switch has two positions. The effect of toggling the switc h to any of these positions is defned below:

1. Raise: Raise the landing gear to its upper most position. Lower Raise

### 28 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.Remote Controllers INSPIRE 1 User Manual
2. Lower: The landing gear will lower to its lowest position for landing.



### Connecting Mobile Device Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position. Press the button on the side of the Mobile Device Holder to release the clamp, and then place your mobile device into the clamp. Adjust the clamp to secure your mobile device. Then 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 U SB port on the back of the remote controller. Do not raise the landing gear when the aircraft is on the ground. Ensure the landing gear is lowered before landing.
RTH button Press and hold this button to start the Return to Home (RTH) procedure. The LED around the RTH Button will blink white to indicate the aircraft is entering RTH mode. The aircraft will then return to the last recorded Home Point. Press this button again to cancel the RTH procedure and regain the control of the aircraft.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

### Optimal Transmission Range The signal transmission between aircraft and remote controller perform best within the range that displayed in the picture shown below:

Ensure the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position between the operator and the aircraft to achieve optimal transmission performance.



## Dual Remote Controllers Mode More than one remote controller can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Remote Controller mode. In Dual Controllers mode, the “Master” remote controller operator controls the orientation of the aircraft, while the “Slave” remote controller controls the movement of the gimbal and camera operation. When multiple “slave” remote controllers (max of 6) are connect to the aircraft, only the frst connected “slave” remote controller is able to control the gimbal, the remaining “slave” remote controller can view the live feed video from the aircraft and set the camera parameters, but they canno t control the gimbal.
