flight mode and new sare mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Relurn Home and Dynamic

Home point, These teatures ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal ls lost A flight

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight'

Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details ot each f light mode are found In the section below:

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three ditferent states of P

mode, which will be automatlcally 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 aircraft is using GPS for positioning

p-OpTl: Vision positlonrng is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision

Positioning for hove'ing

P-ATTI: Neither GpS or Vision Positioning available, aircratt is using only its barometer Tor posllronlng

so only altitude is controlled

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Visron Positioning system is not used for holding postion The aircraft

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. lf lt is still receiving a GPS slgnal the aircrafl can autornatlcally

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and it the Home Point has been recorded SUCCesSlully

F mode (Function): Intelligent orientation control (loc) is activated in thls mode For more intormatron

about lOC, refer to the IOC in Appenotx

:Oi Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the f light mode of the a rcraft, refer to the "Flight

Return to Home (RTH)

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases

that will trigger BTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsa{e RTH.

Description

Home Poinl

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraftakes otf when the

GPS signal is slrong. You can vrew the GPS signal strength through

the GPS icon ( trrr ). lf you are using the Dynamic Home Point

setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks qreen

Smart RTH

Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleteci to a point rhal

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the arrcraft rmmediately

when these warnings are shown. DJI GO app will advise user to return the atrcraft to the Home Point

when low battery warning is viggered. Aircraft will automatrcally return to the Home Point if no action rs

taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The

thresholds lor these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and tts

distance from the Home Point.

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the grouncl

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation durinq the

landing process.

Vision Positioning System

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image dala to help the aircraft

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more

precisely and fly indoors or in other environrnents where there is no GPS sgnal available. The main

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar

sensors and[2lone monocular camera.

t1l

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatrcaliy when the lnspire 1 is powered on. No manual action rs

required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, lnspire 1 can perform precrsion hovering; even when

no GPS is avaiiable.

Low Temperature Notice :

1. The performance of the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when flying in a low

temperature environments (those with air temperatures below 5'C). Ensure that the battery rs fully

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.35 V before eacn flight.

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperalure envrronments (those with air

temperatures below -10"C) is not recommended. When flying in environments with temperatures

between 5"C and -10"C the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriate voltage

levels (above 4.2 V), but it is recommended that you apply the included insulation sticker to the battery

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures.

3. lf the DJI GO app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warnrng" when flying in low temperature

environments, stop f lying and land the aircraft immediately. You will still be able to control lhe arrcraft's

movement when this warning is triggered.

4. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that ite tomnarai,ro

exceeds 5'C before using it in the low temperature environment.

5. When using the Inspire 1 in a low temperature envirorrrnent, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a

low altitude, for approximately one minute to heat the battery.

6. To ensure optimum performance, keep the Intelligent Flight Batterys core temperature above 20"C

when In use.

A In cold environments, inserthe battery into the battery compartment and allow the aircraft to

warm up lor approximately 1-2 minutes before taking ofi.

44 O 20i5 DJl. All Rrghts Reserved
Flight

Once preJlight preparation rs complete, it is recommended to use the fl ght simulator to learn how to f iy

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 wrnd speed exceeding 1Om/s ,

snow, rain and smog.

2. Only tly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal.

3. Avoid lrom 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 pedormance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature.

Be very carelul when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft

performance may be reduced.

6. The lnspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area

Flight limits on height and drstance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following

section.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as

the ICAO (lnternational Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and lheir own national airspace regulatrons. For

safely reasons, the flight ilmits {unction js enabled by default to help users use this product safely and

legally. The flight limils lunction includes height limits, dislance limits and No Fly Zones.

When operating in P Mode, heighl, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to rnanage f light. In A

mode only height limits work and f lights cannot go higher than I20 meters.

Max Height & Badius Limits

Max Height & Radius limil flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the

DJI GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder lhat is determined by these

settinos. The tables below show the details of these limits.

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI otficial website at http://flysafe,dii.com/nojly. No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include malor airports and f lying fields where manned

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countrles or sensltive sites

The details of the NoFly Zones are explained below:

Airport:

(1) AirportNoFlyZonesarecomprisedolTakeoff ReskictedZonesandRestricted-AltitudeZones Each

zone fealures circles ol various size.

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the alrport that ls a Takeoff

Restricted Zone. inside of which take-oft and flight is prevented

(3) From R1 to R.1+1 mite around the airport the flight altitude is Iimited on a 15 degree incline staning at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge o{ airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640

{eet (500 meters) at R1 + 1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (1oo meters) of the No-Fly zones, a warnrng message wlll appear

in the DJI GO apo.
