INSPIRE 1 

The Inspire 1 is a professional aerial filmmaking and photography platform that is ready to fly right out of the box. Featuring 

an onboard camera equipped with a 20mm lens and 3-axis stabilized gimbal, it shoots sharp 12mp stills and stable video at 

up to 4K. Its retractable landing gear pulls up ou1 of view, giving the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world 

below. 

An advanced flight controller makes the Inspire 1 stable, safe and easy to fly indoors or out. The brand new Vision 

Positioning System gives it the power to hover in position at low altitudes even without GPS. Like all DJI flight controllers, 

it is also able to return home if remote controller signal is lost or if the low battery warning is triggered. 

The Inspire 1 boasts a maximum flight speed 22m/s" and a maximum flight time of 18 minutes* using one fully charged 

4500mAh Intelligent Flight Battery.

Remote Controller 

The maximum transmission distance of the Inspire 1 remote controller is 2km•. The remote controller also allows you to 

control the landing gear or activate Return to Home with a tap. Other buttons allow instant photo capture, video recording, 

picture review and gimbal control. 

A DJI Lightbridge-based HD video downlink is built-in, letting you see what your camera sees on your mobile device in 

real time HD. The app also allows you to change camera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person can 

fly while other controls the gimbal independently. The master and slave controllers communicate using a 5.8Ghz wireless 

signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters. The controller's LiPo battery has a maximum 

run time of approximately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the controller.

Fly Safe 

• Calibrating the Compass 

Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, 

which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even faiure. Regular calibration is required for 

optimum performance. Recalibrate the compass when: a) The Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. b) Flying in a 

new location. 

• DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking 

structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

• If the Flight Status LED is showing solid red, then try to calibrate again. If it is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing 

the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. 

• P Mode: 

Safe to fly. In this mode, the Inspire 1 has a strong GPS signal and 

can use the Vision Positioning System allowing it to hover accurately 

in position indoors and out. If outdoors, this mode also means that a 

Home Point has been locked so that it can Return to Home ~ the 

control signal is lost. 

If you are not in this mode, toggle the Flight 

Mode Switch to P position to enable it. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. 

Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the switch. 

There are three states in P mode. 

P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors in a wide open area, and 

your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS signal is 

strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the 

Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. P-ATII: Neither 

GPS or Vision Positioning System available, aircraft is using only 

its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 

Note that the Vision Positioning System may not work properly when 

the Inspire 1 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, 

or in a low light environment. 

• Return to Home: 

GPS Positioning 

~VIsion Positioning 

"'Altitude 2.5 m 

:------X--------Return to home 

When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will be able to record a 

Home Point and return to the Home Point when needed. The GPS 

location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the DJI Pilot app is 

either yellow or green. 

The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in the following 

cases (all require a strong GPS signal). 

Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the remote controller 

or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The DJI Pilot app notifies users to take 

action when the battery level falls to a specified threshold. 

Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost. 

• While returning home, its altitude can be adjusted by the user to avoid obstructions. Tall buildings may affect the remote controller signal. 

The Failsafe Return to Ho'!'e procedure will be triggered if the signal is lost Be sure fly higher than any nearby buildings to avoid crashing. 

• Flight Limits: 

The Inspire 1 is not permitted to fly within no-fiy zones as specified 

by local laws and regulations. Please visit here: 

http://www.dji.com/fly-safe for more information. ® • Environmental Considerations: 

1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. This includes high wind, snow, rain and smog. 

-

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard 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 areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile 

phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when 

flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more albove sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate in P mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. It only can fly in A Til mode and use the Vision Positioning System.

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: 

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 

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 

LEOs are shown in the figure below:

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

GPS 

Horne Point ~.n> 

Smart RTH 

Description 

The Horne Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( ~~~~~ ). If you are using the Dynamic Horne Point 

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

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Horne Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain the control.

Low Battery RTH 

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

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

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

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Horne Point if no action is 

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

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its 

distance from the Home Point. 

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

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

landing process. 

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below

different from the takeoff point. GPS module is located at the position shown in the figure below: 

~ Ensure the space above the GPS module is not obstructed when using Dynamic Home Point. 

© 2015 DJI AI: Rights Reserved 15 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

There are two options for Dynamic Home Point. 

1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point. 

2. Set the remote controller's coordinate as the new Home Point. 

Setting Up Dynamic Home Point 

Follow the steps below to setup Dynamic Home Point: 

1. Connect to the mobile device and launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the "Camera" page. 

2. Tap"9"and select"/D", to reset the remote controller's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

3. Tap"9"and select".9", to reset the aircraft's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set successfully. 

Vision Positioning System 

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data 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 environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main 

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

sensors and(2]one monocular camera. 

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.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

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 

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. 

~ 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 Bm/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. 

0 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 infornnation, 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,

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 

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 Horne 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. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, 

enter the "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode".

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 1 Om/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 frorn 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. ::!J 

Flight Limits and. Flight Restriction Area 

Right limits on height and distance 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 (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

performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such 

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular 

phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you 

have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap "MODE" in the app and select "Compass 

Calibration" to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions. 

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a 

solid green light. 

© 2015 OJI Ail Rtghts 8eserved. 49 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center 

axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red. 

& If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a 

different location to carry out compass calibration. 

:\): Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch OJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction 

to calibrate the compass. 

When to Recalibrate 

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. 

2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight. 

3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the 

compass. 

4. When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the Inspire 1 does not fly in straight lines.

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

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

SO 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 

pulse of "D-D-0-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgrade is in progress and sound a "O--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: successful" 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 SO card or USB thumb drive. 

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

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

Safety Guidelines 

2014.12 
Reading Inspire 1 Manuals 

The following tutorials and manuals have been produced to help you make full use of your DJIInspire 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 Flight 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 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 DJIIogo 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 correc~y. 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 rnake 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. 

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-·ln 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 immediately. 

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, OJI 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.

IV1aintenance IV1anual 

[V1.0)2o1s.2 

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, 

it is recommended that comprehensive maintenance be performed after every 200 flights or 50 

flight hours. This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued 

reliability. 

Checking the Battery 

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If 

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop 

using it and discharge the battery to 10% or below 

for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any 

reason. 

2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an 

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to 

ensure a more reliable connection. 

3. Check the metal battery power connectors for 

damage. If the connectors appear burnt, try to clear 

them. This can be done by inserting a piece of 

sandpaper (1 mm thick) into the connectors to polish 

the metal. 

4. Check the contact pins in the battery compartment to 

ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able 

to establish easy contact with the battery connectors 

and should not be bent. 

5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear 

burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If there is serious 

erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 

6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket 

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are 

secure. This prevents the battery from becoming 

loose during flight. 

7. Check the power cables between the arms and the 

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to 

arrange repairs. 

8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent 

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the 

battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from 

being damaged. 

9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells 

are at similar voltage levels and stay at the same level 

when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain 

voltage levels above 3.7V but any cell is 0.2V higher 

or lower than the others, contact DJI for analysis. You 

can also check the battery cell warning history. If any 

warning are reported, contact DJI. 

II. Checking the Transformation System 

1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm 

that the connection points are still in good condition. 

2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support 

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is 

discovered. Clean the lead screws with WD-40 spray 

if they show signs of rust. 

3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation, 

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the 

servomotors worn. 

4. After the landing gear rises, check the lead screws 

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and 

grease the bearings. 

5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches, 

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact 

OJI Support to arrange repairs. 

Ill. Checking the Aircraft 

1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately 

tightened. 

2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. If there is 

any reason to believe that detectable damage might 

affect flight safety, consult with DJI Support. 

3. Check the carbon tubes of the arms for damage. 

4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. If they are 

loose, secure them with 502 glue. 

5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the 

GPS module or around the antennas on the landing 

gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with 

conductive material) that might affect or block the 

signal. 

6. Check that the right and left landing gear rest at the 

same tilt angle.

IV. Checking the Motors 

1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not 

become loose. 

2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen 

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please 

replace the motors. This may be a sign that the 

bearings have been worn out. 

3. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Carefully 

examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the 

shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check 

for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any 

problems are detected, contact DJI Support to order 

replacement motors. 

4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap 

between the motor and motor base is even. If not 

contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 

5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor 

base are tight and the plastic components around 

the motors are in good condition. If not please 

tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any 

broken plastic components. 

V. Checking the Propellers 

1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending, 

breakage or cracking on a propeller, do not use it. 

2. Attach the propeller to the rnotor, turn on the aircraft, 

and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from 

the aircraft and observe the rotating propellers. If you 

can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when 

looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this 

propeller is damaged and should not be used. 

VI. Checking the IMU 

1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition of the IMU 

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please 

place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a 

flat, stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, 

support the aircraft with four objects of equal 

height). Do not touch the craft during the calibration. 

2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise 

or vibration from the fan located on the front of the 

aircraft. If any irregularity is detected, replace the 

fan. 

VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System 

1. Check the 4 antennas on the landing gear to ensure 

that they are secure. Also check for any bending or 

damage. 

2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for 

damage 

3. Check the neck strap for damage or wear, replace 

if necessary. 

VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 

1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a 

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal 

fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after 

initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app 

(while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount 

connector may be worn. In this case, replace the 

rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the 

gimbal quick-mount. 

2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount 

connector board, if any contact is bent, replace 

the quick-mount connector. 

3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount 

connector board, if there is any dirt, rub it clean 

with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it 

should be replaced. 

4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize 

itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, 

contact DJI to arrange repairs. 

5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when 

the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual 

vibration and the fan should be replaced. 

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 

1. Check the lens of the camera. If any dirt or residue 

is detected, gently clean the lens. 

2. Check for and remove objects that might block the 

sensors. 

3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely 

installed on the aircraft. 

4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold 

the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich 

patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change 

the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller 

and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an 

altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is 

active, the Vision Positioning System should function 

normally.

INTELLIGENT FLIGHT BATTERY 

Safety Guidelines 

~ 

2014.1:0 
English 

Battery Use 

• Never use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.DJI. 

com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no 

responsibility for any accidents caused by nonDJI batteries. 

• Never use or charge a swollen, leaky or damaged 

battery. If so, contact DJI or its designated dealers 

for further assistance. 

• Never install or remove the battery from the aircraft 

when it is turned on. Do not insert or remove 

batteries if the plastic cover had been torn or 

compromised in anyway. 

• The battery should be used in temperatures from 

-10°C to 40°C. Use of the battery above sooc 

can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery 

below -100C can lead to permanent damage. 

• Do not use the battery in strong electrostatic 

or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, 

the battery control board may malfunction 

and a serious accident may happen during 

flight. 

• Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any 

way, or the battery may catch fire or explode. 

• Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. 

If any electrolytes splash onto your skin or eyes, 

immediately wash the affected area with fresh 

running water for at least 15 minutes then see a 

doctor immediately. 

• Check the condition of the battery if it falls out 

of the aircraft. Make sure the battery is NOT 

damaged or leaking before putting it back to the 

aircraft. 

• Land the aircraft immediately when the low battery 

revel warning activates in the DJI Pilot app. 

• Do not allow the batteries to come into contact 

with any kind of liquid. Do not leave batteries 

out in the rain or near a source of moisture. 

Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside 

of the battery comes into contact with water, 

chemical decomposition may occur, potentially 

resulting the batt8l)l catching on fire, and may 

even lead to an explosion. If the battery falls into 

water with the aircraft during flight, take it out 

immediately and put it in a safe and open area. 

Maintain a far distance from the battery until it 

is completely dry. Never use the battery again, 

and dispose of the battery properly as described 

in Battery Disposal below. 

• Do not heat batteries. Put out any battery fire 

using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher. 

Never use water to put out a battery fire. 

• Do not charge the Intelligent Right Battery and 

remote controller at the same time, otherwise 

the charger may overheat. 

• Do not leave batteries in a microwave oven or in 

a pressurized container. 

• Do not place loose battery cel!s on any conductive 

surface, such as metal-toppled table. 

• Do not put the loose cells in pocket, bag or 

drawer where they may short-circuit against 

other items or where battery terminals could be 

pressed against each other. 

• Do not drop or strike batteries. Do not place 

heavy objects on batteries or charger. Avoid 

dropping batteries. 

• Clean battery terminals with a dry and clean 

cloth. 

Charging the Battery 

• Do not attach the batteries to the wall or car 

charger sockets directly, always use a DJI 

approved adapter. DJI takes no responsibility if 

the battery is charged using a non-DJI charger. 

Never leave the battery unattended during 

charging. Do not charge the battery near 

flammable materials or on flammable surfaces 

such as carpet or wood. Do not charge battery 

immediately after flight, because the battery 

temperature may be too high. Do not charge 

the battery until it cools down to near room 

temperature. Charging battery outside of the 

temperature range of O"C-40"C may lead to 

leakage, overheating, or battery damage. 

• Charge and discharge the battery completely 

once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. 

Discharge the battery until there is 0% of 

power or until it can no longer be turned on, 

then recharge it to the maximum capacity. 

This power cycling procedure will optimize the 

battery life. 

• DJI intelligent battery is designed to stop 

charging when it is full. However it is good 

practice to monitor charging progress and 

disconnect the batteries when fully charged. 

• Disconnect charger when not in use. Examine 

charger regularly for damage to the cord, 

plug, enclosure or other parts. Do not clean 

the charger with denatured alcohol or other 

flammable solvents. Never use a damaged 

charger. 

Battery Storage 

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children and 

pets. 
• Do not leave the battery near heat sources such 

as a furnace or heater. Do not leave the batteries 

inside of the vehicle on hot days. The ideal 

storage temperature is 22"G-28°C. 

• Keep the battery dry. Never drop the battery into 

water. 

• Do not drop, strike, impale, or manually shortcircuit the battery. 

• Keep the battery away from metal objects such 

as necklaces and hairpins. 

• Discharge the battery to 30%..SO% of the battery 

level if it will not be used for 7 days or more. This 

can greatly extend the battery life. 

• Battery discharges automatically to below 65% 

when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent 

the battery from swelling. It takes around 2 days 

to discharge the battery to 65%, It is normal 

that you may feel moderate heat emits from the 

battery during the discharge process. Set the 

discharging thresholds in the DJI Pilot app. 

• The battery will enter hibernation mode if 

depleted and stored for a long period. When 

in hibernation mode, if you try to power on the 

battery, the battery power LED will show a solid 

red light and the battery level LEOs will all be 

off. You cannot manually turn off the battery 

power LED in this state. Leave the battery 

unattended for 5 minutes, and then it will power 

off. Recharge the battery to bring it out of 

hibernation. 

• Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored 

for an extended period. 

Battery Disposal 

• Dispose of the battery into specific recycling 

boxes only after a complete discharge. Do 

not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. 

Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling 

regulations of batteries. 

• If the power on/off button of the lntel!igent Flight 

Battery is disabled and the battery cannot be 

fully discharged, please contact a professional 

battery disposal/recycling agent for further 

assistance. 

Notice 

• Before carrying the Intelligent Right Battery on a 

airline flight, it must first be fully discharged. This 

can be done by using it in your Inspire 1 or by 

connecting your remote controller to the battery 

using the Remote Controller Charging Cable. 

Only discharge the battery in a fireproof location. 

• Store Intelligent Flight Batteries in a ventilated 

location. 

• Should you require to carry the battery onto the 

plane, it is recommend to discharge the battery 

to the range between 10% and 20% in order to 

ensure the safety of the battery.
