# A 1Software and Driver Installation Make sure to use the NAZA-M assistant software of2.0 version (or above 2.0) to carry out firmware upgrade and parameter configuration. DO NOT use the NAZA-M assistant soflw<lre bellow2_0 version 

### Please downloadthe dliverPJt Driver lnstaUadand 

### NAZA-M assistant software from the PHANTOM page of DJI website {htlp:/Aw.w.djHnnovations.comlproducts/pllantomldo'MlloadsJ). 

### 2. Connedthe PHANTOM and the PC Iliathe USB cable, power on the PHANTOM system. 

### 3. Run the

# IDJt Driver lnstal!ed, 

### and follow the instructions strictly to finish installation. 4. Run tha assistant software installer, and follow the instructions strictly to finish installation.



# A2 Configuration and Firmware& Software Upgrade Power on your computer. Make sure the t<lmputeris connected to the Internet for the first time you 

### Switch on the transmitter first, 

### then power on the aircraft. Connect the alrcraft 

## to the PC v.fth 

### the USB cable_ 

### DO NOT break the connectiOn until configlffiltion or upgrade is finished. 

# I
Please refer to the "Assembly &Configuration->Step3" section of NAZA-M Quick Start Guide to ·' get !he detail of assistant software usage.

# A3 Linking the Transmitter and Receiver The Hnking 

### of1M transmitter to the receiver ofthe

**PHAN~OM** was carried out before they left the fadory. 

### If necessaryyou can link the transmitter

## to the receiveras follows, forexample you replace the transmitter_ The default receivertype is PPM.
DO 

### NOT use the PHANTOM transmitter (recehrer) 

### W!l.h the 

### lhlrd party remote centro equipment
Please 

## remove the housing by referring to the section of 

### AB Maintenance -> Remove the Housing. Locate the receiver module according to the following figure. After powering on the aircraft and the transmitter, ifthe LED indk:ator ofthe receiveron the control
