Remote Controller Warnings

The remote controller indicator will glow red after disconnecting from the aircraft for more than 
two seconds.
DJI Fly will prompt a warning after disconnecting from the aircraft for more than 4.5 seconds.
The remote controller will beep and power off automatically after disconnecting from the 
aircraft or without operation for a long time.

• Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. 

Make sure to turn off the Wi-Fi on nearby mobile devices. Land the aircraft as soon as 
possible if there is interference.

• DO NOT operate the aircraft if lighting conditions are too bright or dark when using a 

mobile phone to monitor the flight. Users are responsible for correctly adjusting the 
display brightness when using the monitor in direct sunlight during flight operation.

• Release the control sticks or press the flight pause button if an unexpected operation occurs.

GEO Awareness

GEO Awareness contains the features listed below.
UGZ (Unmanned Geographical Zone) Data update: user can update the fly safe data through 
GPS by using the data update feature and store the data in the aircraft.
GEO Awareness Map Drawing: after the latest UZG data is updated, a flight map with a 
restricted zone will be displayed in the DJI Fly app. Name, effective time, height limit, etc., can be 
viewed by tapping the area.
GEO Awareness Pre-Warning: the app will prompt the user with warning information when the 
aircraft is near or in a restricted area, the horizontal distance is less than 160 m, or the vertical 
distance is less than 40 m from the zone to remind the user to fly with caution.

AGL (Above Ground Level) Statement

The vertical part of ‘‘Geo-awareness’’ may use the AMSL altitude or the AGL height. The choice 
between these two references is specified individually for each UGZ. Neither AMSL altitude 
nor the AGL height is supported by DJI Mavic 3 Classic. The height H appears in the DJI Fly app
