Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. t.JOPSWJCSBUJPOJTEFUFDUFEEVSJOHBJSDSBGUJOJUJBMJ[BUJPO1VUUIFBJSDSBGUPOUIFnBUTVSGBDF
