Reboot your device. Mobile devices that connect to DJI Remote Controllers can become unstable over time, and rebooting often fixes these issues.
Rebooting can fix an issue where you cannot send support emails from the app.
Reboot your mobile device every morning as part of your daily routine.
Out-of-date system software can cause many types of issues.
Check your Lightning or USB-C port for debris or unexpected wear.
Do not attempt to clean the port yourself.
Inspect your cables.
Damaged cables should be replaced.
Non-Apple cables often fail to work correctly with the Drone's RC and your mobile device.
Check that you have the latest firmware.
RTK mode is not supported by FieldAgent mobile.
The app cannot upload or execute autonomous missions when RTK is enabled.
Perform drone maintenance and calibration on a schedule.
Perform any missed maintenance procedures before continuing to use the drone.
Check to see if your drone needs calibration.
If your batteries are damaged, then do not fly with them.
Always deploy your drone in a good takeoff area.
Taking off too close to an object, such as a picnic table or car, can cause issues with the Vision System.
You should never attempt to take off near metal or on rebar-reinforced concrete.
Always maintain Line of Sight (LoS) with your remote controller (RC) and the drone.
Crops are an attenuator. Obstructing the LoS of the RC and drone can cause communications to become unstable and fail.
Human bodies are also massive attenuators. Do not put your body between the drone's and the RC's line of sight.
The obstacle avoidance system can be triggered during take-off or a flight for unexpected reasons.
Ensure you are on flat ground away from objects like a picnic table or car.
Cleaning your drone as part of a maintenance schedule is essential for its health and safety. This will keep the sensors free of debris that can cause them to become confused.
