# Aircraft

Flight Controller 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 Home 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. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: D 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 

# w 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 (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. 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. 

## Flight Status Indicator The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below:

# ~

~~.

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.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the 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 a 

### 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. i, 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 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 < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) 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.



### ~ 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 Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers 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, match the nut with the dots on the motors of your Inspire 1: D

### To effectively calibrate the battery capaciry, 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 off 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 DJI 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.

# Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how 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 10m/s , snow, rain and smog. 

### 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 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 feet (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. T_

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. AII 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.

## Reading Inspire 1 Manuals

The following tutorials and manuals have been produced to help you make full use of your DJI Inspire 1: 1. In The Box 2. Disclaimer and Warning 3. Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines 4. INSPIRE 1 Safety Guidelines 5. INSPIRE 1 Quick Start Guide 6. INSPIRE 1 User Manual Check all of the included parts listed in the In The Box document. Read the Disclaimer and Warning, Intelligent Fllght Battery Safety Guidelines, and INSPIRE 1 Safety Guidelines before flight. Then prepare for your first flight by using the INSPIRE 1 Quick Start Guide and watching all of the tutorial videos. If you have questions, refer to the INSPIRE 1 User Manual for more comprehensive information. Experienced users, particularly those who have previously used DJI products, may choose to skip to the Inspire 1 Quick Start Guide to begin preparing for flight. 

## 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 minules, 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 tink 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 Dynarnic 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 lhe 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 yo.ir 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

2 © 20i4 o.u. AIi nlgnis Rcsc,vca.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. 

### Battery Refer to the Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines and battery sticker for usage and maintenance information. 

### Storage and Transportation 1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 22°C and 28°C for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the temperature range of -20°C to 45°C. 2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If it gets wet, wipe dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause permanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dusty areas. 3. Always keep all parts out of the reach of children, as the cables, straps or small parts may be dangerous if swallowed. If swallowed, go to the hospital immedlately. 4. Detach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over long distances. Also replace the Gimbal Cover when storing. 

### Maintenance and Upkeep 1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, please contact a DJI authorized dealer. 2. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used. 3. Regularly check the Battery Level Indicators to see the current battery level and overall battery life. When the battery life reaches 0%, it can no longer be used. 4. After every 50 hours of flight time, DJI recommends you perform a thorough inspection of your Inspire 1 and all of its parts and components to ensure the safe operation of your aircraft.

## Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding tOm/s, snow, rain, smog, heavy wind, hail, lightning, tornado or hurricane. 2. Do not use the aircraft in dust or sandstorms. 3. Fly in open areas, as tall buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and block the GPS signal. 4. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, people, animals, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water when in flight. 5. Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to turn off the Wi-Fi on your mobile device. 6. Do not fly near areas with magnetic or radio Interference. These include but are not limited to: high voltage lines, large scale power transmission stations, mobile base stations and broadcasting towers. Failing to do so may compromise the transmission quality of this product, cause remote controller and video transmission errors may affect flight orientation and location accuracy. The aircraft may behave abnormally or fall out of control in areas with too much interference. 7. P mode is unavailable in polar zones. Users can use ATTI mode instead. 8. Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

## Flight Warnings Failsafe and Return to Home 1. Return to Home will not work if the GPS signal is insufficient or GPS is not active. 2. Press the RTH Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead of turning off the remote controller. 3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 4. Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller. 5. When updating the Home Point, do not block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure the new Home Point is correct on the live map. 6. Do not update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an incorrect location being stored. 7. Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields. 

## Low Battery 1. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. 2. When battery warnings are triggered, please bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid losing power during flight. 

## Vision Positioning System 1. The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have pattern variations. The effective altitude for Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 2.5 meters. 2. Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft isflying over water. 3. Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize patterns on the ground in low light condltions (less than 1001ux). 4. Keep your pets away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar sensors emit high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 5. Note that Visual Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast or too low.

### Transformation Function

1. Ensure the landing gear is lowered before landing. 

### 2. Stay away from the aircraft when it is transforming to prevent injury. 3. DO NOT attempt to catch the aircraft, as the landing gear will lower if the Visual Positioning system detects an object and may cause injury. 4. Keep the aircraft arms clean, otherwise transformation may be affected. 5. Never apply lubricants to aircraft arms. 

### Others 1. If you are using a phone as your mobile display device, be sure to continue flying safely if you receive an incoming call. 2. Land as soon as possible if there is an alert shown on the DJI Pilot app. 3. Upon landing, power off the aircraft first, then switch off the remote con[roller.
