6. Preparing the Aircraft 

The aircraft is in Travel Mode during delivery. Follow these steps to change it 

to Landing Mode before your first flight:

    Insert the Intelligent Flight Battery into the battery compartment.

5. Preparing the Remote Controller

Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position then adjust 

the antennas as shown. The strength of the remote controller 

signal is different when the antenna position is different.

The transmission signal between the aircraft and remote 

controller will perform best when within the optimal 

transmission range. If the signal is weak, fly the aircraft 

closer to you to achieve optimal signal performance.

4. Charging

Using INSPIRE 1

  

You can set the remote controller to different modes using the DJI Pilot app.

  

Do not use other 2.4GHz devices at the same time to avoid signal interference. 

1. Download the 

DJI Pilot

 App

Visit http://m.dji.net/djipilot or scan this QR code to 

download the 

DJI Pilot 

app

 

through your mobile device. 

7. Mounting the Gimbal and Camera

3. Check Battery Levels

Press the Power Button once on both the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller to check battery levels. The 

Intelligent Flight Battery must be fully charged before using it for the first time. Make sure both batteries are adequately 

charged before each flight.

Press the power button once then press again and hold for 2 seconds to power on the remote controller. Repeat to power off.

Press the power button once, then press again and hold for 2 seconds to power on the Intelligent Flight Battery. Repeat to 

power off.

9. Remote Controller Operation

The remote controller is by default set to Mode 2 ( throttle controlled by the left-hand stick ). 

Adjust the tilt angle of camera by using the Gimbal Dial.

  

For the best user experience, please use mobile devices with iOS 8.0 (or higher) and Android 4.1.2 (or higher).

  

Read the Inspire 1 User Manual in the DJI Pilot app or official DJI website for more details.

 

 When not in P mode, the Inspire 1 will only maintain altitude, not position, and will drift with 

wind or user inputs. Return to Home is not available in F mode.

 

 

Only use the official DJI Inspire 1 charger for your Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller. 

 

 

To charge the Inspire 1 Intelligent Flight Battery or the remote controller, connect it to power through the port to a 

suitable power source (100-240V 50/60Hz). 

  

It is recommended to turn off the batteries before charging. 

 

 

Use the included charger to charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and the remote controller battery. When fully charged, the 

battery LEDs on the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller will turn off.

Watch the tutorial videos at www.dji.com or in 

the DJI Pilot app.

2. Watch the Tutorial Videos   

The tutorial videos 

Press the button on the side of the Mobile 

Device Holder to release the clamp. 
Place your device onto the clamp and adjust 

the clamp to hold it securely.
Connect your mobile device to the remote 

controller with a USB cable. Plug one end of 

the cable into your mobile device, and the 

other end into the USB port on the back of 

the remote controller.

Remove the Gimbal Cover.

Rotate the Gimbal Lock to the unlocked position (to the right when 

facing the nose of the aircraft). Insert the gimbal by aligning the 

white mark on the gimbal with white mark on the Gimbal Lock. 

Rotate the gimbal lock back into the locked position (to the left 

when facing the nose of the aircraft).

Move the Flight Mode Switch to the right to select P mode. ( P mode is Positioning mode, A mode 

is ATTI mode, and the F mode is Function mode. )
Power on the remote controller.
Power on the aircraft and wait for the self-check to complete. Do not move the aircraft during the 

self-check. 
Ensure the remote controller is linked to the aircraft before flight. Re-link the remote controller to the 

aircraft if it fails to connect. Refer to the 

INSPIRE 1 User Manual

  on how to link. 

Ensure the remote controller and your mobile device are connected with a USB cable. Launch the 

DJI Pilot app when connecting to the aircraft for the first time, and follow the instructions within the app.
Launch the DJI Pilot app and tap “Camera”. Ensure the aircraft is functioning normally by 

completing the Checklist.Beginner Mode is enabled by default when you launch the DJI Pilot app 

for the first time. The aircraft’s altitude and flight distance is restricted when flying in Beginner Mode. 

We recommend you fly in Beginner Mode when using the aircraft for the first time. You may disable 

Beginner Mode in the settings page of the DJI Pilot app. 
Calibrate the compass by tapping the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and selecting “Calibrate”. Then 

follow the on-screen instructions.
For 1345s Propeller, install the propellers with a white dot onto the mounting plates that have a white dot, 

and install the propellers without a white dot onto the mounting plates that do not have a white dot. Press 

the propeller down onto the mounting plate and rotate in the lock direction until secure. 
For 1345 Propeller, attach propellers with the black nut onto motors with the black dot and spin 

counter-clockwise to secure. Attach propellers with gray nut onto motors without a black dot and spin 

clockwise to secure. Place all propellers onto the correct motor and tighten by hand to ensure security 

before flight.

8. Preparing for Flight

Place the aircraft on a flat surface, in an open space, with the back facing you.
