Before You Start

This Process works on Windows or Mac.

Power On Sensor

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:

Power Method
LED Behavior

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 Sensor to Computer

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.

Verify Connection

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.

If the sensor is being powered by the AC adapter the screen will appear red with a warning message.
