Instruction
Disclaimer & Warning
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the product. By using this product, you hereby
agree to this disclaimer and signify that you have read them fully. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
This product is an autopilot system designed for serious multi-rotor enthusiasts providing excellent self-leveling and
altitude holding, which completely takes the stress out of flying RC multi-rotors for both professional and hobby
applications. Despite the system having a built-in autopilot system and our efforts in making the operation of the
controller as safe as possible when the main power battery is connected, we strongly recommend users to remove
all propellers when calibrating and setting parameters. Make sure all connections are good, and keep children and
animals away during firmware upgrade, system calibration and parameter setup. DJI Innovations accepts no liability
for damage(s) or injuries incurred directly or indirectly from the use of this product in the following conditions:
1. Damage(s) or injuries incurred when users are drunk, taking drugs, drug anesthesia, dizziness, fatigue, nausea
and any other conditions no matter physically or mentally that could impair your ability.
2. Damage(s) or injuries caused by subjective intentional operations. Any mental damage compensation caused
by accident.
3. Failure to follow the guidance of the manual to assemble or operate.
4. Malfunctions caused by refit or replacement with non-DJI accessories and parts.
5. Damage(s) or injuries caused by using third party products or fake DJI products.
6. Damage(s) or injuries caused by mis-operation or subjective mis-judgment.
7. Damage(s) or injuries caused by mechanical failures due to erosion, aging.
8. Damage(s) or injuries caused by continued flying after low voltage protection alarm is triggered.
9. Damage(s) or injuries caused by knowingly flying the aircraft in abnormal condition (such as water, oil, soil,
sand and other unknown material ingress into the aircraft or the assembly is not completed, the main
components have obvious faults, obvious defect or missing accessories).
10. Damage(s) or injuries caused by flying in the following situations such as the aircraft in magnetic interference
area, radio interference area, government regulated no-fly zones or the pilot is in backlight, blocked, fuzzy
sight, and poor eyesight is not suitable for operating and other conditions not suitable for operating.
11. Damage(s) or injuries caused by using in bad weather, such as a rainy day or windy (more than moderate
breeze), snow, hail, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes etc.
12. Damage(s) or injuries caused when the aircraft is in the following situations: collision, fire, explosion, floods,
tsunamis, subsidence, ice trapped, avalanche, debris flow, landslide, earthquake, etc.
13. Damage(s) or injuries caused by infringement such as any data, audio or video material recorded by the use of
aircraft.

Step2 Assembly & Connection
Transmitter(TX) & Receiver(RX)
(1)Refer to you TX Manual, setup the
Ai leron, Elev a tor, Thrott le, Rudder
channels on your TX first, and choose a 3position switch as control mode switch.
(2)Attach the matched RX to aircraft, then
connect your RX to the right ports on MC.
The following diagram shows the
connection example for traditional RX.
ESCs
ESCs & Motors
Please use the ESCs and motors recommended by the manufacturer
of your aircraft. We recommend you use DJI motors and ESCs (Refer
to its manual for details). Connect all ESCs to MC by the motor
numbering method introduced in mixed types Supported .
Important：If you use 3rd party ESCs, make sure the ESCs travel
midpoint is at 1520us. DO NOT use 700us travel midpoint ESC, as it
may lead aircraft to fly away or cause injury and damage. After ESCs
connection , calibrate ESCs one by one through the receiver directly
before connect them to your MC, Make sure program all of them into
Governor off, Break off and Normal Start up to get best experience.

Main Controller(MC)
Mount：(1)The DJI logo should face the sky, DO
NOT mount the MC upside-down. (2)The MC sides
should be parallel to the aircraft body. (3)The arrow
should point to the nose direction of aircraft. (4)he
MC is best positioned near the aircraft’s center of
gravity. Make sure all ports are accessible.
Ti p ： It is recommended to fi x the MC until all
wirings and configurations are completed, using 3M
gummed paper provided to fix the MC.
(Optional)GPS/Compass
Mount：GPS/Compass is sensitive to
magnetic interference, should be far
away from any electronic devices. If
you use your own mounting rod,
make sure it is NOT magnetic!
Procedures：
(1)You should use epoxy resin AB
glue to assemble the GPS bracket
first. Mount the bracket on the center
plate of craft. Position the bracket at
least 10 cm from any propeller.
(2)The DJI logo marked on the GPS
sho u ld f ac e th e s ky , wi th t he
orientation arrow pointing directly
forward. then fix the GPS on the plate
of the bracket (by 3M glue provided).
Tip：The GPS/Compass is packaged
with a special indication line for
mounting for the first time.
Gimbal
Connect the gimbal servos to
the ports of F1 and F2 if a
gimbal is used, and use the
software for configurations.
PMU Module
Mount：DO NOT attach the PMU on
other device. Sufficient air flow over
the PMU is highly recommended.
Tip：If use with DJI multi-rotor, you
can solder the power cable to power
pads on frame bottom board. Please
refer to DJI multi-rotor manual for
details. If use with 3rd part aircraft,
you c a n m a ke a c o nn e cte r b y
yourself to connect PMU and battery.
LED Module
Mount：Make sure You can see the
light during the flight. Leave the USB
interface to be accessible. Use the
3M gummed paper provided to fix.
