Remote Controller
The remote controller uses the DJI OcuSync dual-band transmission system, has a maximum control distance of up to
3.11 mi (5 km), * and is equipped with a bright, dedicated screen with the new DJI MG app built in. Operation planning
can be performed using the remote controller, an RTK hand-held mapping device, or by flying the aircraft to waypoints
results in an upgraded spraying system, making flight operation more flexible and efficient. The Multi-Aircraft Control
mode of the remote controller can be used to coordinate the operation of up to five aircraft at the same time, enabling
pilots to work efficiently. Replaceable batteries make it easy to use the remote controller every day, and removable
antennas make maintenance easier.
The figure below shows the function that each control stick movement performs, using Mode 2 as an example. In Mode
2, the left stick controls the aircraft’s altitude and heading while the right stick controls its forward, backward, left, and
right movements.
* The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC: 3.11 mi (5 km); CE/KCC/MIC/SRRC: 1.86 mi (3 km)) in an
open area with no electromagnetic interference, and at an altitude of approximately 8.2 feet (2.5 m).
Fly Safe
It is important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both for your protection and for the safety of those around
you.
1. Flying in Open Areas: Pay attention to utility poles, power lines, and other obstacles. DO NOT fly near or above water,
people, or animals.
2. Maintain Control at All Times: Always keep your hands on the remote controller and maintain control of your aircraft
when it is in flight, even when using intelligent functions such as the Route and A-B Route operation modes and Smart
Return to Home.
3. Maintain Line of Sight: Maintain visual line of sight with your aircraft at all times and avoid flying behind buildings or
other obstacles that may block your view.
4. Monitor Your Altitude: For the safety of manned aircraft and other air traffic, always fly at altitudes lower than 98 feet
(30 meters) and in accordance with all local laws and regulations.
Visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe for more information on critical safety features such as GEO Zones.
Flying Considerations
1. DO NOT use the aircraft to spray in winds exceeding 11 mph (18 kph).
2. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as winds exceeding 17 mph (28 kph), heavy rain
● Obstacle avoidance is disabled in Attitude mode (which the aircraft enters in situations such as when the GNSS signal is
weak) and is not available if the operating environment is not suitable for the radar module. Extra caution is required in such
situations.
(precipitation rate exceeding 25 mm or 0.98 inches in 12 hours), snow, or fog.
3. The recommended operating altitude is 6,560 feet (2 km) above sea level. DO NOT fly over 9,842 feet (3 km) above
sea level.
4. The payload of the spray tank should reduce by 2 kg once the operating altitude increases 3,280 feet (1 km) above sea
level.
5. Make sure that there is a strong GNSS signal when operating.
Return to Home (RTH)
The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point in the following situations:
Smart RTH: You press the RTH button.
Failsafe RTH: The remote controller signal is lost. *
During RTH, if there is an obstacle within 20 m of the aircraft, the aircraft decelerates and then stops and hovers. While
decelerating, if the aircraft comes within 6 m of the obstacle, it flies backward to a distance of around 6 m from the
obstacle and hovers. The aircraft then exits the RTH procedure and waits for pilot commands.
* If Failsafe RTH is disabled (the default setting in the DJI MG app), the aircraft hovers in place when the remote controller
signal is lost.
Pesticide Usage
1. Avoid the use of powder pesticides as much as possible as they may reduce the service life of the spraying system.
2. Pesticides are poisonous and pose serious risks to safety. Only use them in strict accordance with their specifications.
3. Use clean water to mix the pesticide to avoid blocking the strainer. Clear any blockage before using the equipment.
4. Effective use of pesticides relies on pesticide density, spray rate, spray distance, aircraft speed, wind speed, and wind
direction. Consider all factors when using pesticides.
5. Never compromise the safety of people, animals, or the environment during operation.
It is important to understand basic flight guidelines for the safety of both you and those around you.
DO NOT forget to read the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines.
