Power the 6X using the AC adapter or keep it attached to the aircraft and turn the aircraft on.
When using the AC power supply, connect the cable to the 6X first, then connect the adapter to the outlet.
Then wait for the LEDS on the sensor to do the following:
AC Power Adapter
Flashing Red
Drone Power
Solid Green (Requires GPS Fix)
Solid Red (After 2 minutes w/o GPS)
This verifies that the sensor is fully booted.
Connect the sensor to the computer using a USB cable.
Use the USB-C port on the sensor not the USB-C port on the top of the gimbal.
Use the USB-C Cable provided with the 6X. This cable gives the best and most reliable performance.
Open your wifi/network panel from the task bar. Verify that you see "unidentified network - No internet". This is the 6X appearing as a network device.
