Flight Restrictions and Unlocking

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) system is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flight. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area.

GEO Zones

DJI’s GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. GEO Zones include but are not limited to airports, venues of major events, areas where emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, correctional facilities, government facilities, and military zones. Users can view real-time GEO information in DJI FlightHub 2.

By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.

The settings and alerts provided by DJI on operations within GEO Zones are only to assist the user in ensuring flight safety and DO NOT guarantee full compliance with all local laws and regulations. Before each flight task, the user is responsible for seeking advice on the relevant local laws, regulations, and requirements for the safety of their own aircraft.

Flight Restrictions in GEO Zones

The following section describes in detail the flight restrictions for the above mentioned GEO Zones.

The aircraft can fly in the zone. Please view GEO information in DJI FlightHub 2 and stay alert.

The aircraft cannot take off, and a prompt will appear in DJI FlightHub 2 when the planned flight altitude exceeds the maximum altitude of the aircraft.

Buffer Zone

Buffer Zones for Restricted Zones/Authorization Zones: to prevent the aircraft from accidentally flying into a Restricted or Authorization Zone, the GEO system creates a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide outside each Restricted and Authorization Zone. As shown in the illustration below, the aircraft can only take off and land away from the Restricted or Authorization Zone when inside the buffer zone. The aircraft cannot fly toward the Restricted or Authorization Zone unless an unlocking request has been approved. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone after leaving the buffer zone.

Buffer Zones for Altitude Zones: a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide is established outside each Altitude Zone. As shown in the illustration below, when approaching the buffer zone of an Altitude Zone in a horizontal direction, the aircraft will gradually reduce its flight speed and hover outside the buffer zone. When approaching the buffer zone from underneath in a vertical direction, the aircraft can ascend and descend in altitude or fly away from the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly toward the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone in a horizontal direction after leaving the buffer zone.

DJI AirSense

Manned airplanes or helicopters with Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) transmitters can broadcast flight information. The DJI aircraft equipped with DJI AirSense can receive the flight information broadcast from ADS-B transmitters that comply with the 1090ES (RTCA DO-260) or UAT (RTCA DO-282) standard and within a radius range of 10 km. DJI AirSense only issues warning messages under certain circumstances when specific manned airplanes or helicopters are approaching and is not able to actively control or take over the DJI aircraft to avoid collisions. Users should always fly the aircraft within the visual line of sight and be cautious at all times to ensure flight safety. DJI AirSense has the following limitations:

1. DJI AirSense can only receive messages broadcast by manned airplanes or helicopters installed with an ADS-B Out device that is in compliance with the 1090ES or UAT standard. DJI AirSense cannot receive messages from manned airplanes or helicopters that are not equipped with ADS-B Out devices or equipped with devices that are not functioning properly.

2. DJI AirSense uses satellite and radio signals to receive ADS-B messages. If there is an obstacle between a manned airplane or helicopter and a DJI aircraft, DJI AirSense may not be able to receive broadcast and issue warning messages.

3. Warning messages may be sent with delays if DJI AirSense experiences any interference from the surrounding environment. Users need to observe the surrounding environment and fly with caution.

4. Warning messages may not be accurate when the DJI aircraft is unable to obtain its location information.

5. DJI AirSense cannot receive broadcast from manned airplanes or helicopters, nor send warning messages to FlightHub 2 users when DJI AirSense is disabled or not properly functioning.

DJI FlightHub 2 collects all the DJI AirSense data reported by the dock aircraft in the project and displays the location of an approaching manned airplane or helicopter, as well as a warning message on the web page when there is a potential risk of collision. DJI AirSense can obtain and analyze the location, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the manned airplane or helicopter and compare the information with the current location, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the dock aircraft to evaluate the collision risk in real

time. Users can click the low and medium collision risk warnings on the map.

in the lower right corner of the map to decide whether to display

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Warning (high collision risk): A red airplane icon will appear on the map, and the web

page will display the message stating, "Manned aircraft nearby. Take over aircraft promptly to avoid". FlightHub 2 users can click the dock name to open the device status window and obtain the aircraft control to avoid collisions.

Caution (medium collision risk): A yellow airplane icon will appear on the map when a

manned airplane or helicopter is relatively near the dock aircraft.

Normal (low collision risk): A blue airplane icon will appear on the map when the

manned airplane or helicopter is relatively far away from the dock aircraft.

Remote Controller B

DJI RC Plus remote controller can be linked to the aircraft as controller B. During onsite flight tests, the remote controller can take over control and manually control flight. After the remote controller gains control, press and hold the RTH button on the remote controller, and the aircraft will return to the dock.

Linking Remote Controller B

The dock is already linked to the aircraft when it is purchased together in the Dock Bundle. Link the remote controller to the aircraft as controller B following the steps below:

1. Power on the remote controller and the aircraft.

2. Run DJI Pilot 2, tap Controller A > Switch to Controller B.

3. Press and hold the power button on the aircraft for at least five seconds.

4. When linking is successful, the remote controller will beep twice.

Gaining Control Using Remote Controller B

1. To gain control of the aircraft, press the aircraft control button on the upper-left of

the remote controller; and then press the orange Pause button on the upper-right to control flight manually.

2. To gain control of the gimbal camera, tap

on the upper right corner of the gimbal

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Control of the Dock and the Remote Controller

1. Control over the aircraft is independent of control over the gimbal camera. The control sticks are used for operating the gimbal if the remote controller only has control over the gimbal camera. When the remote controller has full control, the control sticks are used for controlling the aircraft and the dials for adjusting gimbal movement.

2. By default, the dock connected to the aircraft is granted control of both the aircraft and the gimbal camera, while the remote controller is not given any control.

3. Only the remote controller with aircraft control can be used to start or cancel RTH. Only the remote controller with control of the gimbal camera can be used to adjust relevant settings for the gimbal and camera and to download or replay media files.

4. The dock will automatically take control of the aircraft before each flight task. A control transfer mechanism will be triggered if either the dock or the remote controller is disconnected from the aircraft. When this happens, control will shift to the one that still connected with the aircraft. If the dock disconnects from the aircraft, the remote controller will receive a notification that the user may manually take over aircraft control. If the pilot of the remote controller chooses not to take over aircraft control, the aircraft will automatically perform the signal lost action. If the pilot of the connected remote controller does not choose either option within a specified time period, the aircraft will also activate the signal lost action.

5. If the disconnected remote controller reconnects with the aircraft during the flight, it will not resume its previous control and will by default have no control of any device.

6. RTH cannot be triggered in DJI FlightHub 2 after remote controller B gains control. The dock will automatically gain control over the aircraft if remote controller B is disconnected from the aircraft (such as when the remote controller is powered off or the video transmission signal is lost). The aircraft can continue the flight task in progress.

7. During a flight task, if the remote controller gains control under N mode, the aircraft will continue the flight task. If the flight mode is switched to another mode, the flight task will be interrupted and RTH will be triggered. If the remote controller gains control in another flight mode, the flight task will be interrupted and RTH will be triggered.

8. The remote controller can be used to modify the flight control system, the sensing system and other aircraft settings. Refer to the Aircraft Settings Using the Remote Controller section for more information.

9. Both the firmware of the dock and the aircraft can be updated in DJI FlightHub 2, but the remote controller can only be used to update the firmware of the remote controller.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

10. Users can upload the logs of both the dock and the aircraft in DJI FlightHub 2, and can upload the logs of remote controller using the remote controller.

11. Remote controller B cannot be used to update the Fly Safe database.

Flight Test Checklist

After adding new flight route or changing flight route settings, it is recommended to perform on-site flight test to ensure normal dock operation.

Environment Sensors

DJI Dock integrates multiple environment sensors to provide information on wind speed, rainfall scale, temperature, and humidity, allowing users to monitor real-time environment condition and ensure flight safety.

Wind Speed Gauge Module

The wind speed gauge module is located on the top of the dock cover and consists of a wind speed gauge, an integrated security camera, and a camera auxiliary light.

1. Wind Speed Gauge: the wind speed gauge is used to measure wind speed near the dock. The wind speed gauge features self-heating and is able to work in lowtemperature environments. Users can view real-time wind speed in DJI FlightHub 2. To ensure flight safety, the aircraft cannot take off or land when the wind speed is above 12 m/s.

2. Integrated Security Camera: the integrated security camera is used to monitor the real-time dock environment. Users can monitor the dock environment from dock livestreams in DJI FlightHub 2, and can check the aircraft status on the landing pad after opening the dock cover.

3. Camera Auxiliary Light: the camera auxiliary light can be enabled at night to assist the integrated security camera monitoring.

• The wind speed gauge can only measure the wind speed near the dock, which is different from the wind speed provided by local meteorological department. If the aircraft ascends to high altitude, the wind speed and direction may change significantly. Operate the dock and the aircraft with caution when the measured wind speed is close to 12 m/s.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Rainfall Gauge

The rainfall gauge is located near the wind speed gauge module, and is used to measure rainfall information near the dock. The rainfall gauge features self-heating and is able to work in low-temperature environments. Users can view the rainfall information in DJI FlightHub 2. To ensure flight safety, the aircraft cannot take off in heavy rain.

• There is a pressure sensing module in the rainfall gauge. DO NOT press hard on the surface of the rainfall gauge. Otherwise, the pressure sensing module may be damaged.

• Clean the rainfall gauge surface on a regular basis. Replace the rainfall gauge immediately if it is dented, deformed, or damaged.

Temperature and Humidity Sensor

DJI Dock features temperature and humidity sensors, which are used to measure ambient temperature and the temperature and humidity inside the dock. Users can open Project

Page in DJI FlightHub 2 and click information.

To ensure flight safety, the aircraft cannot take off when the ambient temperature is below -20° C (-4° F). Flight tasks will be resumed after the ambient temperate is higher than -20° C (-4° F).

> > Action, to view the temperature and humidity

Water Immersion Sensor

The water immersion sensors are located in the lower compartment under the landing pad, and are used to detect whether the dock is immersed in water. If DJI FlightHub 2 prompts dock flooding, remove the water immediately and check whether the dock works properly. If the dock fails to work properly, make sure to turn off the AC power switch and backup battery switch, and contact DJI Support.

8. Internal RTK Antennas

The air from the air conditioning system flows through the return vent and supply vent, and forms an airflow, adjusting the temperature and humidity inside the dock.

There are four positioning marks on the landing pad for the aircraft to identify dock position.

There are a pair of front and rear driving rods and a pair of left and right driving rods on the landing pad. The driving rods push the aircraft to the center of the landing pad after landing, and detect the aircraft position before taking off.

The charging connectors are located in the driving rods. After the aircraft is pushed to the center, the charging connectors will connect to the aircraft and charge the batteries automatically.

Insert the triangular key and rotate counter-clockwise to loosen the landing pad bolts. Grab the edge of the landing pad to open the lower compartment of the dock.

When placing the aircraft on the landing pad, make sure to align the aircraft heading with the aircraft orientation mark. Otherwise, the aircraft and the driving rods may be damaged.

Make sure the landing pad is clear of obstacles and the internal RTK antennas are not covered. Otherwise, the signals will be obstructed and the positioning performance will be affected.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Dock RTK Module

The dock internal RTK module of the dock supports receiving dual-band multi-mode GNSS signals, providing high-precision data for centimeter-level positioning when used with the Matrice 30 Series Dock Version aircraft.

Make sure the dock RTK is calibrated before a flight task to ensure accurate flight along the flight route. The dock RTK values are already calibrated using the remote controller during dock configuration, and are not required to be recalibrated if the dock position remains the same. If the dock is moved, the position needs to be recalibrated in DJI Pilot 2 using the remote controller. Refer to the Installation and Setup Manual for details.

• Users can open DJI FlightHub 2 Project page, click > > Action to view the dock RTK status.

Air Conditioning System

The air conditioning system facilitates temperature and humidity control of the dock. When the dock is in Idle state, the air conditioning system will automatically adjust the temperature and humidity inside the dock, providing a suitable environment for the aircraft and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

If the Intelligent Flight Battery temperature is above 35° C (95° F), the air conditioning system will start cooling to cool down the batteries. When the ambient temperature is below 0° C (32° F), the air conditioning system will start heating to prevent the propellers from freezing.

When opening the dock cover, the air conditioning system will lower the speed of the inner circulating fan to prevent dust or catkins from entering the return vent.

• Users can open the DJI FlightHub 2 Devices page, click Dock > , and enable Remote Debugging to start heating or cooling. To ensure the service life of the TEC air conditioning system, a five-minute interval is required when switching between cooling and heating operations, and a countdown will appear in DJI FlightHub 2. Wait for the countdown to end before switching operations.

Backup Battery

DJI Dock features a backup battery with a capacity of 12 Ah and maximum runtime of approximately 5 hours. If the dock is powered off due to an emergency power outage, the backup battery can provide power to the dock* so that the aircraft can safely return and land.

* In this case, the dock cannot charge the aircraft battery, the air conditioning system cannot

work properly, and the self-heating of the wind speed gauge, the rainfall gauge, and the dock cover will be unavailable.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

• Check and fix the issue as soon as possible to restore power to the dock. Make sure to turn off the backup battery switch if the power supply cannot be restored and the dock is not used for an extended period.

Using the Vision System

Obstacle sensing works best when the lighting is adequate and the obstacle is clearly textured. It does not work well with obstacles that are less dense such as twigs on trees. The infrared sensing system can only be used for large or diffuse reflective objects and rough surfaces.

• Pay attention to the flight environment. The vision system and infrared sensing system only work in certain scenarios.

• When the ambient light is insufficient, the vision positioning performance will be negatively affected. The auxiliary bottom light will be automatically enabled to assist the vision system.

• The vision system cannot function properly in dark environments and over surfaces without clear patterns or texture such as water and ice.

• Obstacle avoidance cannot detect certain obstacles such as iron wiring, cables, tree branches, blind spots, and mirrored surfaces.

• The measurement accuracy of the vision system is easily affected by the light intensity and the surface texture of the object. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations: a. Flying near monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green) or

those without clear texture.

b. Flying near surfaces with strong reflected light or images. c. Flying near water, ice, or transparent surfaces. d. Flying near moving surfaces or objects (e.g., crowds of people or swaying

reeds, shrubs, or grass).

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

exposure to strong light.

f. Flying near extremely dark (< 15 lux) or extremely bright (> 10,000 lux)

surfaces.

g. The aircraft speed is too fast when flying below 2 m above the ground (e.g.,

faster than 14 m/s at a 2m height or 5 m/s at a 1m height). h. Tiny obstacles (e.g., iron wires, cables, tree branches, or leaves). i. The lens is dirty (e.g., from raindrops or fingerprints). j. In low-visibility environments (e.g., heavy fog or snow).

• The infrared sensing system may NOT detect the distance accurately in the following situations:

a. Flying near surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., asphalt road surfaces). b. A large area of strong reflectors situated at a distance of more than 15 m (e.g.,

multiple traffic signs placed side by side). c. Tiny obstacles (e.g., iron wires, cables, tree branches, or leaves). d. Mirrors or transparent objects (e.g., water or glass). e. In low-visibility environments (e.g., heavy fog or snow).

• DO NOT obstruct the infrared sensing system. DO NOT hang or place anything in an area that will block the vision system, infrared sensing system, and their observation range.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

• Make sure that the sensor lens is clear and free of stains. DO NOT interfere with the vision system and infrared sensing system in any way such as using a strong light source to illuminate the vision system or aiming specular reflectors towards the infrared sensor.

• Make sure that the sensor lens is clear and free of stains. Check the following before placing the aircraft on the dock:

a. Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of

the infrared sensing systems and vision systems.

b. Use soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the vision

systems and infrared sensing systems. DO NOT use any cleaning product that contains alcohol.

c. Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the lenses of the infrared

sensing and vision systems.

Vision System Calibration

The vision system installed on the aircraft is factory calibrated. If the aircraft experiences a collision or a significant change in the operating temperature, calibration may be required. DJI FlightHub 2 will display a prompt when calibration is required. Follow the instructions to calibrate the vision system when prompted:

1. Power on the aircraft.

2. Connect the aircraft to a computer.

3. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and log in using a DJI account.

4. Select the M30 Series, then click the calibration button.

5. Position the aircraft with the vision system facing the dotted pattern displayed on the computer screen, and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the vision sensors on each side.

• DO NOT power off the aircraft or unplug the USB-C cable after calibration. Wait for the data calculation to complete.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH) function returns the aircraft back to the dock or the alternate landing site when the GNSS signal is strong. RTH can be triggered in three ways: userinitiated triggers, the aircraft has low battery, or the control signal between the dock and the aircraft is lost. Alternate Landing will be triggered if the dock is not suitable for landing. In this case, the aircraft will fly to and land on the alternate landing site.

Flight route task will be interrupted and RTH will be triggered if any of these situation occurs:

The aircraft approaches the GEO zones, or the flight distance approaches the

maximum distance.

The GNSS signal is poor during flight task.

RTH is triggered in DJI FlightHub 2.

If the Intelligent Flight Battery level is low, low Battery RTH will be triggered.

If the aircraft disconnects from the dock, Signal Lost Action (Return to Home or

Continue Task) will be triggered.

• Make sure to set an appropriate RTH Altitude when creating flight task plans. The RTH altitude should also be at least 5 m lower than the altitude limit of the GEO zone.

• The RTH feature will be disabled when the GNSS signal icon is red, or the GNSS is unavailable.

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

• The aircraft will exit RTH if the lighting and environment conditions are too complex to complete RTH, even if the vision systems are working properly.

Advanced RTH

When Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI FlightHub 2 and will adjust according to the environment.

The user can cancel RTH after gaining aircraft control in DJI FlightHub 2. RTH can also be cancelled by pressing the Flight Pause button or the RTH button on the remote controller B after gaining aircraft control.

During RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the tilt and pan angles of the gimbal so that the gimbal camera points towards the RTH path.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

• When manually adjusting the gimbal pan angle in DJI FlightHub 2, the aircraft orientation will change accordingly. Since the aircraft has visual blind spots, the aircraft's flight speed will be affected after the orientation has changed. DO NOT manually adjust the gimbal pan angle during RTH.

• When the lighting and environment conditions are unsuitable for vision systems, the aircraft will rely on the laser rangefinder on the gimbal camera to assist in distance measurement. Once the user adjusts the gimbal pan angle from the RTH path, obstacles on the RTH path will not be recognized, and flight safety risks will increase. DO NOT manually adjust the gimbal pan angle during RTH.

Trigger Method

•

The user actively triggers RTH

Advanced RTH can be initiated by clicking Return to Home in the device status window

in DJI FlightHub 2.

•

Aircraft low battery

When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to

return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible.

To avoid unnecessary danger caused by 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. The flight task will be interrupted and Low Battery RTH will be triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected.

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH

is canceled following the 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 cancelled, but users can gain aircraft control using remote controller B, and control the horizontal movement and the descent speed of the aircraft during landing. If there is sufficient power, the throttle stick can be used to make the aircraft ascend at a speed of 1 m/s.

During auto landing, gain control using remote controller B and move the aircraft

horizontally to find an appropriate place to land as soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until the power is depleted.

Loss of signal

The signal lost action can be set to Return to Home, Hover, or Continue. Go to Project

Page in DJI FlightHub 2, and click

> > Aircraft Control > Flight Settings > On Signal Lost to set the signal lost action. The signal lost action during a flight route task can be set to Return to Home or Continue Task in DJI FlightHub 2. If the action is set to RTH, the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the signal between the dock and the aircraft is lost for more than six seconds.

When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI

FlightHub 2 will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the signal was lost. The aircraft will start RTH using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the signal is restored. DJI FlightHub 2 will update the RTH path accordingly.

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

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

will enter Original Route RTH. The aircraft enters Preset RTH if the remote controller signal is restored during Original Route RTH. The Original Route RTH procedure is as follows:

1. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place.

2. When RTH begins:

If the RTH distance (the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home

•

Point) is farther than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies backward for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Preset RTH.

If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m, it adjusts its

•

orientation and flies to the Home Point in a straight line at the current altitude.

The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.

•

3. The aircraft begins to land when it reaches above the Home Point.

• The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point if the positioning performance is poor. In case of loss of remote controller signal, the aircraft may enter ATTI mode and will automatically land.

• It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Set the RTH altitude in the device status window or in Plan Library in DJI FlightHub 2.

• The aircraft cannot bypass obstacles during RTH if the lighting and environment conditions are unsuitable for the vision systems.

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

• Pay extra attention to small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. In an emergency, exit RTH and control the aircraft manually using DJI FlightHub 2.

RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Advanced RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place. When RTH begins:

The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.

•

If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m, the aircraft will plan the best path according

•

to the RTH settings, lighting, and environmental conditions.

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

• During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to suit 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 using Live Flight Controls in DJI FlightHub 2 before initiating RTH.

• Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot bypass 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 adjusted below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude first and then continue returning to home.

• The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.

• If there is a large difference between the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speed difference at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power prompts and warning prompts in DJI FlightHub 2.

• During Advanced RTH, if the lighting condition and environment becomes unsuitable for the vision systems, the aircraft cannot bypass the obstacles on the RTH path. In this case, the aircraft will use the infrared sensor and the laser rangefinder on the gimbal camera to assist in distance measurement. Fly with caution. Make sure to set an appropriate RTH altitude 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 controlled to fly to the left or right. Constantly pushing the pitch stick to accelerate will increase the battery power consumption speed. The aircraft cannot bypass obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit RTH if the pitch stick is pushed all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

• If the aircraft reaches the altitude limit of the aircraft current location or of the Home Point while it is ascending during Preset RTH, the aircraft stops ascending and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude. Pay attention to flight safety during RTH.

• If the Home Point is within the Altitude Zone but the aircraft is not, when the aircraft reaches the Altitude Zone it will descend below the altitude limit, which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution.

• The aircraft will bypass any GEO zones encountered when it is flying forward during Advanced RTH. Fly with caution.

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.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

During the Advanced RTH process, once there are dense obstacles (such as dense woods) on the RTH path or obstacles are encountered on the RTH path at night, the aircraft will hover for 30 seconds and then start a straight line RTH.

Straight Line RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Straight Line RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place.

a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the

aircraft first ascends to a height of 20 m (this step will be skipped if the current height is higher than 20 m), then 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 will fly 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 flies back to the Home Point.

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

begins.

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

• The user can also gain control using remote controller B and exit RTH by pushing the control stick in the opposite direction of flight (e.g., pushing the throttle stick down when the aircraft is ascending).

Obstacle Sensing During RTH

The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles during RTH if the lighting is sufficient for obstacle sensing. The obstacle sensing procedure is as follows:

1. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed from a distance of approximately 20 m (65.62 ft). If the distance from the obstacle is less than 20 m, the aircraft will fly backward (or forward) to keep a distance of more than 20 m.

2. The aircraft stops and hovers, then ascends to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the aircraft stops ascending when it is at least 5 m (16.4 ft) above the detected obstacle.

3. The aircraft continues flying to the Home Point at its current altitude.

If the aircraft cannot ascend to avoid the obstacle, it will hover. A prompt will appear in DJI FlightHub 2, reminding users to check actual flight environment using the aircraft livestream.

• To ensure the aircraft flies forward to the Home Point, the user is unable to rotate the aircraft during RTH.

• During RTH, obstacles on either side of the aircraft cannot be detected or avoided.

Matrice 30 Series Dock Bundle User Manual

Dock Landing Detection

Dock landing detection is activated during auto landing and is executed as follows:

1. If dock landing detection determines the dock is suitable for landing, the aircraft will land on the dock directly.

2. If the dock is not suitable for landing (such as the dock cover fails to open, emergency stop button is pressed), the aircraft will fly to the alternate landing site. If an alternate landing site is not set, the aircraft will hover above the dock, and will start descending only when the battery level drops to 10%.

3. If the aircraft cannot detect the landing status of the dock (such as the dock and the aircraft are disconnected), or the aircraft fails to land on the dock due to bad weather, the aircraft will descend below 3 m (9.8 ft) above the ground and hover. The aircraft will fly to the alternate landing site when the battery level is less than 20%. If an alternate landing site is not set, the aircraft will hover above the dock, and will start descending only when the battery level drops to 10%.

• Make sure to set an alternate landing site during dock configuration. Otherwise, the aircraft may crash land if the dock is not suitable for landing, damaging the aircraft and the dock.

Alternate Landing

Dock Landing Detection will be triggered after the aircraft flies back to the dock during RTH. If the dock is determined unsuitable for landing, alternate landing will be triggered. The aircraft will ascend to the alternate route altitude, then fly to the alternate landing site for landing. Open DJI FlightHub 2, Click Devices > Dock > Device Maintenance to view Alternate Route Altitude.
