Individual Parts 

Remote Controller

1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller. 

Refer to the user manual for more information about how to link the aircraft. 

2. If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10 

minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert.

3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft’s flight. You may 

change it to a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link it to the aircraft to control flight.

4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does not slip.

5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate, 

ensure the DJI logo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller away from any metal objects.

6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly 

decrease performance.

7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft’s Intelligent Flight Battery.

Camera

1. Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off.

2. Be sure to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved 

and any recorded videos may be damaged.

3. Test the camera by shooting a few test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important 

pictures. 

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy laws, regulations 

and moral standards.

5. Check camera settings before use to make sure you can adjust them to fit your needs.

Gimbal

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal 

connector, as any damage will cause it to function abnormally.

2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct 

the gimbal’s full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. 

Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protect the gimbal after powering up.

3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop.

4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

lead to motor damage.

5. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact, which will cause the gimbal 

to function abnormally.

Compass

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight 

performance or even failure.

2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This includes areas 

where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges.

3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones.

4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces.

5. If the rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate.

6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the 

ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to another 

location and try again.

Parameter Settings

The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is 

good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter 

settings.

Internet in the GS before outdoors flights, 

then the maps can be used off-line.

(2) Please use the GS for real flights after 

you are familiar with its use and functions, 

Refer to all help text in the App.

2.3 Using Tips

1. Customized Route Template 

In Waypoints mode, users can set a route and click to save it as a template. Users can view all 

the customized route templates in the template menu, slip from right to left on a template and you can 

choose to detele it.

2. Capturing waypoints 

In Waypoints mode, click to capture the aircraft attitude (including longitude, latitude, height and nose 

pointing direction) properties to build a new waypoint during flight. This function is always available when the 

UAV is hovering or flying.

2.4 Flight Limit of Special Areas

All UAV operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation 

Organization) and per country airspace regulations. For safety reasons, key areas have been restricted, such as:

a) Within the radius of 8Km from the airport. 

Users will not be able to build waypoints or Home points in designated special areas and the waypoint routines go 

through these special areas are invalid, and the UAV will fail to cruise to those areas.

All the special areas have been restricted are specified on the DJI official website and please refer to Special Areas 

List (http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-gs) to obtain details.
