~ 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.

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 SD 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 SD into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SD card. 

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

SD card slot on the Inspire 1 camera. 

Step 3- Update the Aircraft 

1. 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 

pluse of "D-D-D-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgarde is in progress and sound a"D --- DD" 

) 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: successfuP' 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 DJI 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 SD card or USB thumb drive. 

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

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