6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your DJI Mini 4 Pro.

6.1 Firmware Update Failures

Several factors can lead to an update failure:

• The battery level of the aircraft or remote controller is below 20%.
• The aircraft or remote controller is powered off during an update. If this happens, restart the aircraft and remote controller, and try again.
• The network is disconnected during a firmware download.
• Your smartphone interface is switched to other apps during a firmware download.

The aircraft will restart multiple times during an update and automatically power off after completing the update.

6.2 Video Transmission Issues

The maximum transmission distance of the O4 video transmission system can vary significantly based on environmental interference levels:

• Unobstructed:
• Strong Interference (urban landscape): approx. 1.5-4 km
• Medium Interference (suburban landscape): approx. 4-10 km
• Low Interference (suburb/seaside): approx. 10-20 km
• Obstructed:
• Low Interference and Obstructed by Buildings: approx. 0-0.5 km
• Low Interference and Obstructed by Trees: approx. 0.5-3 km

Note: Data tested under FCC standard in an unobstructed environment without interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.
