Mavic 3 offers a maximum transmission range of 15 km and video quality at up to 1080p 60fps from the aircraft to the DJI Fly app. The remote controller works at both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, and is capable of selecting the best transmission channel automatically.

Intelligent Flight Modes: The user can focus on operating the aircraft while the Advanced Pilot

Assistance System 5.0 (APAS 5.0) helps the aircraft to avoid obstacles in all directions.

* Only the DJI Mavic 3 Cine/DJI Mavic 3 Cine V2.0 aircraft comes with a built-in 1TB SSD, which supports the recording and storing of Apple ProRes 422 HQ video. There are some requirements and restrictions when using Mavic 3 V2.0 and Mavic 3 Cine V2.0 in EU since they are comply with C1 certification. Otherwise, The features and functions described in this manual apply to DJI Mavic 3/Mavic 3 V2.0 and DJI Mavic 3 Cine/

Mavic 3 Cine V2.0.

The maximum flight time was tested in an environment without wind while flying at a consistent flight speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum flight speed was tested at sea level altitude without wind. Note that the maximum flight speed is limited to 42 mph (68.4 kph) in the European Union (EU).

These value are for reference only.

The remote controller reaches its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum transmission distance refers to the maximum distance that the aircraft can still send and receive transmissions. It does not refer to the maximum distance the aircraft can fly in a single flight. The maximum runtime was tested in a laboratory environment and without charging the mobile device. This value is for reference only.

5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Observe the local laws and regulations.

Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.


Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mavic 3 has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize itself. When the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.

Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in the EU).

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.

The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.

A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending.

The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.



Aircraft Status Indicators

DJI Mavic 3 has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.

The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during flight.

Home

Point

GNSS

10

Description

The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home

Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point cannot be updated.

Smart RTH

If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.

Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Advanced RTH

Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for vision systems when Smart RTH triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.

RTH Settings

RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go the camera view in DJI Fly, tap System, Safety, and then RTH.

1. Optimal: Regardless of the RTH Altitude settings, the aircraft automatically plans the optimal RTH path and adjusts the altitude according to environmental factors such as obstacles and transmission signals. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible reducing the amount of battery power used and increasing flight time.

2. Preset: When the aircraft is further than 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the RTH path, fly to an open area while avoiding obstacles, ascend to the RTH Altitude, and return to home using the best path. When the aircraft is a distance of 5 to 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not ascend to the RTH Altitude and instead return to home using the best path at the current altitude. When the aircraft is near the home point, the aircraft will descend while flying forward if the current altitude is higher than the RTH Altitude.

Advanced RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Advanced RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the best path according to the RTH settings and fly to the home point while avoiding obstacles and

GEO zones. The aircraft front will always point in the same direction as the flight direction.



4. The aircraft will fly automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and the transmission signal during RTH.

5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

Straight Line RTH

The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sufficient and the environment is not suitable for the Advanced RTH.

Straight Line RTH Procedure:

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Straight Line RTH is triggered.


a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point at the current altitude.

b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the current altitude is lower than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and files to the Home Point. c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.


During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to environmental factors such as wind speed and obstacles.

The aircraft cannot avoid small or fine objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly the aircraft to an open area before using Smart RTH.

Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot avoid on the

RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.

The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH settings are changed during RTH.

If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude and return to home.

The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.

If there is a large difference in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly.

Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were not suitable for vision systems during takeoff or RTH.



During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and environment was not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles. An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.

When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to control the flight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from

RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

When ascending in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from RTH if the throttle stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the throttle stick is released.

When flying forward in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from

RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft stops and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude.

The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting obstacles in front.

During Straight Line RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the aircraft and the direction of flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed.

Low Battery RTH

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.

In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and the aircraft can only support Low Battery RTH.

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the direction and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. The throttle stick can be used to increase the ascent speed by 1 m/s if there is sufficient power. The throttle stick cannot be used to increase the ascent speed and the aircraft will land if there is no power left.

During auto landing, find an appropriate place to land the aircraft as soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if there is no power remaining.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. Note that the action the aircraft performs when the remote controller is lost must be set to Return to Home in DJI Fly.

When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost and return to home using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote


DJI Mavic 3 User Manual controller signal is restored.

When the lighting is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original

Route RTH.

Original Route RTH Procedure:


2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjust its orientation and flies backwards for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line

RTH.

c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.


The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored during

Original Route RTH.

If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a prompt will appear in the app to select a landing option.

The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.

It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are unavailable.

GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones.

The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.

Be aware of small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually in an emergency.

RTH may not be available in some environments even if the vision systems are working. The aircraft will exit RTH in such cases.

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH. When aircraft begins landing, Landing Protection is enabled.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground.

2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for pilot confirmation.

3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land.

Precision Landing

The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features below during RTH. The aircraft will land when the current terrain matches the Home Point. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if the terrain match fails.



Landing Protection is activated during Precision Landing.

The Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions: a. The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight.

Otherwise, the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point terrain features.

b. During takeoff, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before flying horizontally.

c. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.

d. The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as snowcovered areas are not suitable.

e. The lighting conditions must not be too light or too dark.

The following actions are available during Precision Landing: a. Press the throttle stick down to accelerate landing.

b. Move the control sticks in any direction apart from the throttle direction to stop Precision Landing.

The aircraft will descend vertically after the control sticks are released.



Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mavic 3 is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Lateral,

Upward, and Downward Vision Systems.

The Upward and Downward Vision Systems consist of two cameras each, and the Forward, Backward, and Lateral Vision Systems consist of four cameras in total.

The Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and

Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely, and to fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

In addition, the Auxiliary Bottom Light located on the underside of the aircraft improves visibility for the

Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.

Using the Vision Systems

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and sufficient light.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the Forward,

Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems. The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision

Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to inertia, users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.

Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be affected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

The Downward Vision Systems work best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 30 m if there is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 m as the

Vision Systems may be affected.

The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Fly. If set to Auto, it is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak. Note that the Vision System cameras performance may be affected when the Auxiliary Bottom Light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak.

The Vision Systems may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-covered areas.Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid the water below when landing. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations. The

Vision Systems cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously.

a. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure green).

b. Flying over highly reflective surfaces.

c. Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

d. Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

e. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

f. Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.

g. Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).

h. Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

i. Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the same design).

j. Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches).

Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in dusty or humid environments.

Vision System cameras may need to be calibrated after being stored for an extended period. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly and calibration will be performed automatically.

DO NOT fly when it is raining, foggy, or if there is no clear sight.

Check the following before each takeoff: a. Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared Sensing and Vision Systems.

b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing and Vision Systems, clean it with a soft cloth. Do not use any cleanser that contains alcohol.

c. Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing and Vision Systems.

DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.



Intelligent Flight Mode

FocusTrack

FocusTrack includes Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0, and ActiveTrack 5.0.

Spotlight 2.0

Control the aircraft manually while the camera remains locked on the subject. The mode supports both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.

In Spotlight mode, the aircraft will hover in place when there is an obstacle detected when the vision systems are working normally, no matter the behavior is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. Note that the vision systems are disabled in Sport mode.

Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0)

The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and flight speed that is set. The mode supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. The max flight speed is

15 m/s and the flight speed may be adjusted dynamically according the actual radius. Move the roll stick to change the speed, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in this mode regardless of the settings in DJI Fly when the vision systems are working normally.

ActiveTrack 5.0

ActiveTrack 5.0 is divided into Trace and Parallel, which support tracking both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine mode, the maximum flight speed is 12 m/s when flying forward and backward and 15 m/s when flying left and right. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 5.0 regardless of the settings in DJI Fly.

Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude with a constant angle with the direction of the subject. The aircraft can track subjects in eight directions including front, back, left, right, forward diagonal left, front diagonal right, backward diagonal left, and backward diagonal right. The direction is set to back by default and this setting is only available when the subject is moving in a stable direction. The direction of tracking can be adjusted during tracking.

Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side.

In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people with an altitude of 2-20 m

(the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude is 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m when tracking vehicles or boats with an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m and altitude is 10-50 m). The aircraft will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the distance and altitude is out of range when

ActiveTrack begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal distance and altitude for the best performance.

FPV Mode: The gimbal synchronizes with the movement of the aircraft to provide a first-person flying experience.

Do not tap or knock the gimbal when the aircraft is powered on. To protect the gimbal during takeoff, take off from open and flat ground.

Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged in a collision or impact, which may cause the gimbal to function abnormally.

Avoid getting dust or sand on the gimbal, especially in the gimbal motors.

A gimbal motor may enter protection mode in the following situations: a. The aircraft is on uneven ground or the gimbal is obstructed. b. The gimbal experiences excessive external force, such as during a collision.

DO NOT apply external force to the gimbal after the gimbal is powered on. DO NOT add any extra payload to the gimbal as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to permanent motor damage.

Make sure to remove the storage cover before powering on the aircraft. Also, make sure to mount the storage cover when the aircraft is not in use.

Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The gimbal recovers full functionality once it is dry.

Gimbal Axes Lock

For more convenient storage, the gimbal axes will automatically lock after the aircraft is powered off and unlock when it is powered on again. No user operation is required.



The gimbal lock function works normally when the operating temperature is -10° to 40° C (14° to

104° F). It may malfunction outside this temperature range and a prompt will appear in DJI Fly if this occurs. If the gimbal lock malfunctions when attempting to unlock the gimbal, users can adjust the gimbal axes manually to unlock the gimbal. It is not recommended to manually adjust the gimbal axes unless necessary.

If the gimbal lock malfunctions, it will resume normal operation once the operating temperature is

-10° to 40° C (14° to 104° F).

It is normal for the gimbal to unlock if it is impacted in any way. Restart the aircraft to lock the gimbal again.

It is normal for the gimbal to vibrate slightly after it is locked.

Camera Profile

DJI Mavic 3 uses a 4/3-in CMOS sensor Hasselblad L2D-20c camera, which can take 20MP photos and record at 5.1K 50fps/DCI 4K 120fps Apple ProRes 422 HQ and H.264/H.265 format videos. The camera also supports 10-bit D-Log video, has an adjustable aperture of f/2.8 to f/11, and can shoot from 1 m to infinity.

The tele camera boasts a 1/2-in CMOS sensor, capable of shooting 12MP photos with an aperture of f/4.4 and shooting from 3 m to infinity. When in Explore mode, the tele camera can zoom at 28x.

Make sure the temperature and humidity is suitable for the camera during usage and storage.

Use a lens cleanser to clean the lens to avoid damage.

DO NOT block any ventilation holes on the camera as the heat generated may damage the device and hurt the user.

Storing Photos and Videos

DJI Mavic 3 has 8 GB of built-in storage and supports the use of a microSD card to store photos and videos. A SDXC or UHS-I microSD card is required due to the fast read and write speeds necessary for high-resolution video data.

Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Make sure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI

Fly sections for information about using the remote controller and the app to control the aircraft.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s, snow, rain, and fog.

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be careful when flying 6,000 m or more above sea level, since battery and aircraft performance may be reduced.

6. Aircraft cannot use GNSS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when flying in such locations.

7. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.

8. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and battery charger near accidents, fires, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, dust, or sandstorms.

9. Use the battery charger in a temperature range of 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F).

10. Operate the aircraft, battery, remote controller, and battery charger in a dry environment.

11. DO NOT use the battery charger in humid environments.

Operating the Aircraft Responsibly

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:

1. Make sure you are NOT under the influence of anesthesia, alcohol, or drugs or suffering from dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or other conditions that could impair the ability to operate the aircraft safely.

2. When landing, power off the aircraft first, then switch off the remote controller.

3. DO NOT drop, launch, fire, or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any buildings, persons, or animals, which could cause personal injury or property damage.

4. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been crashed or accidentally damaged or an aircraft that is not in good condition.

5. Make sure to train sufficiently and have contingency plans for emergencies or when an incident occurs.

6. Make sure to have a flight plan. DO NOT fly the aircraft recklessly.

7. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure to comply with local privacy laws, regulations, and moral standards.

8. DO NOT use this product for any reason other than general personal use.

9. DO NOT use it for illegal or inappropriate purposes such as spying, military operations, or unauthorized investigations.

10. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate legal rights such as the right to privacy and publicity of others.

11. DO NOT trespass onto the private property of others.



Flight Limits and GEO Zones

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration, and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set flight limits on height and distance.

Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

Max Flight Altitude

Height of aircraft when takeoff

Max Radius

Home Point



When GNSS is available

Flight Limits DJI Fly App

Max Altitude Aircraft's altitude cannot exceed the specified value Warning: Height limit reached

Max Radius Flight distance must be within the max radius Warning: Distance limit reached

Only Downward Vision System is available

Flight Limits

Max Altitude

Height is restricted to 30 m when the GNSS signal is weak.

Height is restricted to 3 m when the GNSS signal is weak and light conditions is not sufficient.

Max Radius

DJI Fly App

Warning: Height limit reached.

The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be received in the app.

The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal when the aircraft was powered on.

If the aircraft reaches a limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GNSS signal is strong.

For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.

GEO Zones

All GEO zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO zones are divided into different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive locations such as power plants.

There will be prompts in the DJI Fly app to fly in GEO zones.

FAR Remote ID Compliance Information

The aircraft complies with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89:

• The aircraft automatically broadcasts Remote ID messages from takeoff to shut down. An external device such as a cell phone or tablet is required to be connected as a location source to DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system [1], and must run the DJI flight control app such as

DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app to obtain its accurate location information. The connected external device must minimally be one of the following:

1) FCC Certified personal wireless device that uses GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location services; or

2) FCC Certified personal wireless device with integrated GNSS.

Also, the external device must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location reported and its correlation to the operator location.

• The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-flight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system before takeoff and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST [2]. The results of the PFST of the Remote ID system can be viewed in either a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.

• The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-flight to shut down. If the Remote

ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in either a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.

Footnotes

1. DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system such as DJI RC-N1, DJI FPV Goggles V2, and DJI Goggles 2.

2. The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-data source and transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
