How to Turn On DJI Mini 4 Pro After Unboxing
Unboxing your new DJI Mini 4 Pro is an exciting moment, but before you take to the skies, you’ll need to know how to power it on properly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get your drone up and running.
Step 1: Charge the Battery
The DJI Mini 4 Pro comes with an intelligent flight battery. Before turning on the drone, ensure the battery is fully charged. A full charge provides up to 34 minutes of flight time with the standard battery or up to 45 minutes with the optional long-range battery.
Step 2: Install the Battery
Insert the charged battery into the drone’s battery compartment. Make sure it clicks into place and is securely locked.
Step 3: Power On the Drone
To turn on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, press the power button once, then press and hold it for about 2 seconds. The drone’s lights will illuminate, indicating it’s powered on and ready for use.
Step 4: Power On the Remote Controller
If you’re using a remote controller (such as the DJI RC-N2 or RC2), press and hold its power button until it turns on. Ensure the controller is charged beforehand for uninterrupted operation.
Step 5: Connect the Drone and Controller
The DJI Mini 4 Pro uses DJI’s Ocusync 4 transmission technology, which automatically connects the drone and controller once both are powered on. If you’re using a smartphone, open the DJI Fly app and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
Step 6: Calibrate the Drone (If Needed)
Before your first flight, the DJI Fly app may prompt you to calibrate the drone’s compass and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Follow the app’s instructions to ensure optimal flight performance.
Step 7: Check for Updates
Ensure your drone’s firmware and the DJI Fly app are up to date. The app will guide you through the update process if necessary.
Once these steps are complete, your DJI Mini 4 Pro is ready to fly. Always choose a safe, open area for your first flight and take time to familiarize yourself with the drone’s controls and features. Happy flying!
