Calibrating the Compass
It is recommended to calibrate the compass in any of the following situations when ying outdoors:
1. Flying at a location farther than 10 km away from the last ight location.
2. The aircraft hasn’t been own for more than one month.
3. A compass interference warning appears in the DJI GO 4 app, and the warning persists after chang-
ing location.
Restart the aircraft when calibration is complete.
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such
as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.
DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones.
The DJI GO 4 app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected by
strong interference after calibration is complete. Follow the prompted instructions to resolve the
compass issue.
Calibration Procedures
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.
1. Tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid
green light.
3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center
axis.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your
aircraft to a different location and try again.
DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars, scaffolding.
If the aircraft status indicator is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on
the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.
Auto Takeoff and Auto Landing
Auto Takeoff
Use auto takeoff only if the Aircraft Status Indicators are blinking green. Follow the steps below to use the
auto takeoff feature:
1. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, and enter “Camera” page.
2. Complete all steps on the pre-ight checklist.
3. Tap “ ”, and conrm that conditions are safe for ight. Slide the icon to conrm and takeoff.
4. Aircraft takes off and hovers at 1.2 meters above ground.
Aircraft Status Indicator blinks rapidly when it is using the Downward Vision System for
stabilization. The aircraft will automatically hover below 13 meters. It is recommended to wait
until there is sufcient GPS before using the Auto Take-off feature.
4. Re-calibrate the aircraft if the aircraft status indicators blink red.
Auto-Landing
Use auto-landing only if the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green. Follow the steps below to use the
auto-landing feature:
1. Tap on , to ensure the landing condition is ideal. Slide to conrm.
2. Abort landing process immediately by using the button on the screen.
3. a. When Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the Mavic Pro will
land gently.
b. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Mavic Pro will hover
and wait for pilot conrmation.
c. If Landing Protection is not operational, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the
Mavic Pro descends below 0.5 meters. Pull down on the throttle or use the auto landing slider to
land.
4. Aircraft will land and turn off automatically.

Stopping the Motors
There are two methods to stop the motors.
Method 1: When Mavic Pro has landed, push the left stick down , then conduct the same CSC that was
used to start the motors, as described above . Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once
motors stop.
Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push and hold the left stick down. The motors will stop after three
seconds.

Flight Test
Takeo/Landing Procedures
1. Place the aircraft in an open, at area with the battery level indicators facing towards you.
2. Turn on the remote controller and your mobile device, then turn on the Intelligent Flight Battery.
3. Launch the DJI GO 4 app and enter the Camera page.
4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is now safe
to y. If they ash yellow, the Home Point has not been recorded.
5. Push the left stick up slowly to take off or use Auto Takeoff.
6. Shoot photos and videos using the DJI GO 4 app.
7. Pull down the left stick to descend, the aircraft will hover at 1.5 ft (0.5 m) above the ground for about 1
second, then hold the left stick at its lowest position until you touch the ground and the motors stop.
8. Turn off the Intelligent Flight Battery rst, then the Remote Controller.
Stop Motors Mid-ight
Stop motors mid-ight will cause the aircraft to crash. The motors can only be stopped mid-ight when the
ight controller detects a critical error. (This setting can be changed in the DJI GO 4 app)
Starting/Stopping the Motors
Starting the Motors
A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push both sticks to the bottom
inner or outer corners to start the motors. Once the motors have started spinning, release both sticks
simultaneously.

When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during ight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe
mode.
A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicators blinking red slowly or
rapidly during ight.
Watch our video tutorials for more ight information.
Video Suggestions and Tips
1. Go through the full pre-ight checklist before each ight.
2. Select the desired gimbal operation mode in the DJI GO 4 app.
3. Only shoot video when ying in P-mode.
4. Always y in good weather and avoid ying in rain or heavy wind.
5. Choose the camera settings that suit your needs. Settings include photo format and exposure
compensation.
6. Perform ight tests to establish ight routes and preview scenes.
7. Push the control sticks gently to keep the aircraft’s movement smooth and stable.

Firmware Updates
Use DJI Assistant 2 or DJI GO 4 app to update aircraft and remote controller.
Using the DJI GO 4 App
Connect the remote controller and the DJI GO 4 app, You will be reminded if a new rmware upgrade
is available. To start upgrading, connect your mobile device to the Internet and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Using DJI Assistant 2
Use the DJI Assistant 2 to update the rmware for the remote controller and the aircraft simultaneously.
Follow the instructions below to update the rmware through DJI Assistant 2:
1. With the remote controller and the aircraft powered off, connect the remote controller to the computer
through the charging port using a micro USB cable.
2. Power on the remote controller and aircraft.
3. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and login with your DJI account.
4. Select “Mavic Pro” and click on the “Firmware Updates” on the left panel.
5. Select the rmware version that you wish to update.
6. Wait for the rmware to be downloaded and rmware update will start automatically.
7. Reboot the aircraft and the remote controller after the rmware update is complete.
The remote controller and the aircraft can also be updated separately.
If you connect the aircraft to the computer via the aircraft’s micro USB port, you are only able to
update the aircraft rmware.
The rmware update will take around 15 minutes. It is normal that the gimbal goes limp, aircraft
status indicator blinks abnormally and the aircraft reboots. Please wait patiently until the update
is complete.
Ensure the computer has access to the Internet.
Ensure the batteries have at least 50% power.
Do not disconnect the aircraft from the computer during rmware update.
Please note that rmware update may reset various Main Controller Settings, such as the RTH
Altitude and Maximum Flight Distance, to factory defaults. Before the update, take note of your
preferred DJI GO 4 settings, and readjust them after the update to suit your preference.
Intelligent Flight Mode
Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POI), Follow Me and
Waypoints features to assist users to create professional shoots during the ight. Course Lock and Home
Point lock helps to lock the orientation of aircraft so that the user can focus more on other operations.
Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to y automatically according to the
pre-set ight maneuvers.
Course Lock Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft’s forward direction. The aircraft will
move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle).
Home Lock Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorded Home Point.
Point of Interest The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator can be
more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest.
