The aircraft is designed to operate in good to moderate weather conditions. To avoid collision, serious
injury and property damage, observe the following rules:
1. DO NOT use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 8 m/s,
snow, rain, smog, heavy wind, hail, lightning, tornadoes or hurricanes.
2. Keep the aircraft at least 10 meters (30 feet) away from obstacles, people, animals, buildings, public
infrastructure, trees, and bodies of water when in flight. Stay even further away from the above
objects as your altitude increases.
3. Be EXTRA cautious when operating the aircraft indoors.
1. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature.
a. Be very careful when flying 8,202 feet (2,500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft
performance may be reduced.
2. DO NOT use the aircraft near accidents, fire, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides,
earthquakes, dust, or sandstorms.
Interference with Flight Controller and Communications
1. Fly in open areas. Tall buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and
block the GPS signal.
2. Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to turn off the
Wi-Fi on your mobile device.
3. DO NOT fly near areas with magnetic or radio interference. These include but are NOT limited to: high
voltage lines, large scale power transmission stations or mobile base stations and broadcasting towers.
Failing to do so may compromise the transmission quality of this product or cause remote controller and
video transmission errors which may affect flight orientation and location accuracy. The aircraft may
behave abnormally or go out of control in areas with too much interference.
Operating the Aircraft Responsibly
To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:
1. Make sure you are NOT drunk, taking drugs, under the influence of anesthesia, or suffering from
dizziness, fatigue, nausea or any other conditions, whether physical or mental, that could impair
your ability to operate the aircraft safely.
2. Never stop the motors mid-flight unless in emergency situations when doing so can reduce the
risk of damage or injury.

3. Upon landing, power off the aircraft first, then power off the remote controller.
4. DO NOT drop, launch, fire or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any buildings,
persons or animals, or which could cause personal injury or property damage.
1. Make sure you have been sufficiently trained and are fully aware of any contingency plans before
accidents happen.
2. Make sure you have a flight plan and never fly the aircraft recklessly.
3. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy laws,
regulations, and moral standards.
4. DO NOT use this product for any reason other than general personal use. DO NOT use it for any illegal or
inappropriate purpose (such as spying, military operations, or unauthorized investigations).
5. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such
as the right of privacy and publicity) of others.
6. DO NOT trespass into private property of others.

Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings
Flight Modes
To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:
1. DO NOT switch from P-mode to either A-mode or F-mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with
the aircraft’s behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to fly
the aircraft safely.
2. The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances:
a. Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference.
b. Active: Users toggle the flight mode switch to A-mode.
In A-mode, some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position in this
mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the
remote controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difficult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode,
make sure you are comfortable flying in this mode. DO NOT fly the aircraft too far away as you
might lose control and cause a potential hazard.
Avoid flying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in confined spaces. The aircraft will otherwise
be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential flight hazards, please land it in a safe place as
soon as possible.
P-mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A-mode where and when P-mode is
unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A-mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious
when flying in A-mode.
1. P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are different states of
P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Matrice 600 depending on GPS signal strength:
a. P-GPS: GPS is available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
b. P-ATTI: When GPS is not available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only
altitude is controlled.
2. A-mode (Attitude): The GPS is NOT used for positioning. 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.
3. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Flight is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar with Intelligent Flight
functions before use.
If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A-mode), you are required to accept the
prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree
that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and
maintained on a DJI-designated server.

Failsafe and Return-to-Home
1. The Return-to-Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufficient or if GPS is not active.
2. Press the RTH (Return-to-Home) button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home
Point instead of turning off the remote controller.
3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the RTH procedure. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and
speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.
4. Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.
5. When updating the Home Point, do NOT block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure the new
Home Point is correct on the live map.
6. Only use the Return-to-Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the weather,
the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields.
7. DO NOT update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an incorrect
location being stored.
8. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate
Failsafe altitude before each flight.
Low Battery
1. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may
push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for
landing.
2. When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid
losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.

No Fly Zones
DJI always stresses safety during flight, and has therefore developed various aids to help users comply with
local rules and regulations while flying. We strongly recommend that you update the firmware to the latest
version to ensure the following features are fully updated:
No Fly Zones
1. No Fly Zones include but are not limited to major airports around world, borders between two sovereign
countries or regions, major cities/regions, etc.
2. A detailed list of No Fly Zones is available on the official DJI website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly and is
subject to periodic updates in line with the latest regulatory requirements without prior notice.
3. Some No Fly Zones are comprised of several zones. Each zone features circles of various sizes. The
aircraft will NOT be able to take off in the inner most zone of the No Fly Zone, and will descend to the
specified altitude when it approaches the edge of the inner most zone. Ground station functionality is
disabled when the aircraft is within a No Fly Zone.
4. Users are NOT able to set up waypoints within No Fly Zones.
Altitude Limit
1. Fly NO higher than 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level and stay away from any surrounding
obstacles.
2. If you intend to fly above the default altitude limit, you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer
to enable the new altitude limit. If a new altitude limit is set, you further understand and agree that data
including but not limited to flight telemetry data and altitude limit changes could be uploaded to and
maintained on a DJI-designated server.
