DJI AirSense
Airplanes with an ADS-B transceiver will actively broadcast flight information including locations, flight paths, speeds, and altitudes. DJI aircraft incorporated with the DJI AirSense technology are capable of receiving flight information broadcast from ADS-B transceivers that comply with 1090ES or UAT standards within a radius range of 10 kilometers. Based on the received flight information, DJI AirSense can analyze and obtain the location, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the surrounding manned airplanes, and compare such figures with the current position, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the DJI aircraft to calculate in real time the potential risk of collision with the surrounding manned airplanes. DJI AirSense will then display a warning message in DJI Pilot 2 according to the risk level. DJI AirSense only issues warning messages on approaches by specific manned airplanes under special circumstances. Please be aware that DJI AirSense has the following limitations: · DJI AirSense can only receive messages sent by airplanes installed with an ADS-B
Out device that is in compliance with 1090ES (RTCA DO-260) or UAT (RTCA DO-282) standards. DJI devices cannot receive broadcast messages from or display warnings on airplanes not equipped with properly functioning ADS-B Out devices. · If there is an obstacle between a manned aircraft and a DJI aircraft, DJI AirSense will not be able to receive ADS-B messages from the aircraft or send warnings to the user. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution. · Warning prompts may be sent with delay if DJI AirSense experiences any interference from the surrounding environment. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution. · Warning prompts may not be received if the DJI aircraft is unable to obtain information on its own location. · DJI AirSense cannot receive ADS-B messages from manned airplanes or send warnings to the user when it is disabled or misconfigured. When a risk is detected by the DJI AirSense system, the AR projection display will appear on the current view in DJI Pilot 2, intuitively showing the distance between the DJI aircraft and the airplane, and issuing a warning alert. Users should follow the instructions in DJI Pilot 2 upon receiving the alert. Notice: A blue airplane icon will appear on the map.

3 Normal Procedures
3.1 Airspace and Radio Frequency Environment Requirements
1. DO NOT operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions, including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s, snow, moderate rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. After takeoff, make sure you are notified with the voice prompt Home Point is updated before continuing flight. If the aircraft has taken off near buildings, the accuracy of the Home Point cannot be guaranteed. In this case, pay close attention to the current position of the aircraft during auto RTH. When the aircraft is close to the Home Point, it is recommended to cancel auto RTH and manually control the aircraft to land at an appropriate location.
3. Fly the aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS). Avoid mountains and trees blocking GNSS signals. Any flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can be conducted only when the aircraft performance, the knowledge and skills of the pilot, and the operational safety management are compliant with local regulations for BVLOS. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water. For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft near airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas, unless any permit or approval is obtained under local regulations.
4. Make sure the beacon and the auxiliary bottom light are enabled at night for flight safety.
5. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when flying at high altitudes. Fly with caution. DO NOT fly above the specified altitude.
6. The braking distance of the aircraft is affected by the flight altitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When flying at high altitudes, you should reserve adequate braking distance to ensure flight safety.
7. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead. 8. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes. 9. DO NOT take off from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reflection such as
a car roof. 10. Be careful when taking off in the desert or from a beach to avoid sand entering the
aircraft. 11. DO NOT operate the aircraft near bird flocks. 12. Avoid interference between the control station and other wireless equipment. It is
recommended to power off nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices.
46 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
13. Be extremely alert when flying near areas with magnetic or radio interference. Pay close attention to the video transmission quality and signal strength. Return to the Home Point and land the aircraft if prompted to do so to ensure flight safety. Sources of electromagnetic interference include but are not limited to: high voltage lines, large-scale power transmission stations, radar stations, mobile base stations, and broadcasting towers. Strong electromagnetic or electric field interference may cause damage to the aircraft or even crashing.
3.2 Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights. Prior to that, you must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully align with local laws and regulations. You are responsible for your own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://fly-safe.dji.com.
GEO Zones
The DJI GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights, and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. You can view such information in real-time in DJI Pilot 2. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual

Buffer Zone

Buffer Zones for Restricted Zones/Authorization Zones
To prevent the aircraft from accidentally flying into a Restricted or Authorization Zone, the GEO system creates a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide outside each Restricted and Authorization Zone. As shown in the illustration below, the aircraft can only take off and land in place or fly toward an opposite direction of the Restricted or Authorization Zone when inside the buffer zone, and cannot fly toward the Restricted or Authorization Zone unless an unlocking request has been approved. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone after leaving the buffer zone.

Buffer Zones for Altitude Zones
A buffer zone of about 20 meters wide is established outside each Altitude Zone. As shown in the illustration below, when approaching the buffer zone of an Altitude Zone in a horizontal direction, the aircraft will gradually reduce its flight speed and hover outside the buffer zone. When approaching the buffer zone from underneath in a vertical direction, the aircraft can ascend and descend in altitude or fly in an opposite direction of the Altitude Zone, but cannot fly toward the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone in a horizontal direction after leaving the buffer zone.

Flight Modes

The aircraft supports the following flight modes, which can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

Position F S N

Flight Mode Function mode
Sport mode Normal mode

Normal Mode
Normal Mode is suitable for most flight scenarios. The aircraft can hover precisely, fly stably, and use Intelligent Flight Modes. If obstacle sensing is enabled, obstacles can also be avoided using the vision system.
Sport Mode
The maximum horizontal flight speed of the aircraft will be higher when compared with Normal mode. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport Mode.
Function Mode
Function mode can be set to T-mode (Tripod mode) in DJI Pilot 2. T-mode is based on Normal mode. The flight speed is limited to allow easier control of the aircraft.
Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal drift of the aircraft, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces. The aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically, therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
If the aircraft is flying in the EU, the aircraft will switch to Low Speed mode on the remote controller. Low Speed mode limits the maximum horizontal flight speed to 2.8 m/s based on Normal mode, and there is no limit for the ascent or descent speed.
· DO NOT switch from Normal mode to other modes unless you are sufficiently familiar with the aircraft behavior under each flight mode. You must turn on Multiple Flight Modes in DJI Pilot 2 before switching from Normal mode to other modes.
· The vision systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert to the surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
· The maximum flight speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode. When flying in windless conditions, make sure to maintain enough braking distance to ensure flight safety.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
· When the aircraft is ascending or descending in Sport mode or Normal mode in windless conditions, make sure to maintain enough vertical braking distance to ensure flight safety.
· The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote control device translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
Airborne Relay
Airborne Relay allows one aircraft to fly as a relay, assisting another aircraft to operate at a longer distance. The relay aircraft automatically faces the operation aircraft, ensuring smooth video transmission in different environments.
Click the link below or scan the QR code to watch the tutorial video before first time use.
https://enterprise.dji.com/dock-3/video
· Need to update to the latest firmware to use this function. · Perform the linking and mode switching operations before the aircraft takes off. · Make sure that there is no obstruction between the relay aircraft and the relay
remote controller, and between the relay aircraft and the operation aircraft. Strong electromagnetic interference may affect the video transmission distance. · Pay attention to the battery level of the relay aircraft during flight. Loss of control signal may occur if low battery RTH is triggered for the relay aircraft. · Make sure to exit Relay mode and re-link the aircraft and the remote controller before updating the device firmware.
3.8 Return to Home
Carefully read the contents of this section to ensure you are familiar with the behavior of the aircraft in Return-to-Home (RTH).
57 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual

The Return to Home (RTH) function will automatically fly the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH, the aircraft has low battery, or the remote control signal or video transmission signal has been lost (Failsafe RTH is triggered). If the aircraft has recorded the Home Point successfully and the positioning system is functioning normally, when the RTH function is triggered, the aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point.

· Home Point: The Home Point will be recorded at takeoff as long as the aircraft

has a strong GNSS signal

or the lighting is sufficient. After the Home Point

is recorded, DJI Pilot 2 will issue a voice prompt. If it is necessary to update

the Home Point during a flight (such as if you have changed your position), the

Home Point can be manually updated in > > Control in DJI Pilot 2.

During RTH, the AR RTH route will be displayed on the camera view, helping you to view the return path and ensure flight safety. The camera view also displays the AR Landing Point. When the aircraft reaches the area above the Home Point, the gimbal camera will automatically flip downwards. The AR aircraft shadow will appear in the camera view when the aircraft is approaching the ground, enabling you to control the aircraft to land

more accurately in your preferred location. The display can be changed in Assist.

> >

· The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual flight route in different scenarios. Always pay attention to the liveview on the screen during RTH. Fly with caution.
· During RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt to point the camera toward the RTH route by default. Using the gimbal dial to adjust the camera orientation or pressing the customizable buttons on the remote controller to recenter the camera will stop the aircraft from automatically adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH route from being viewed.

Notice
· The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point as normal if the positioning system is functioning abnormally. During Failsafe RTH, the aircraft may enter ATTI mode and land automatically if the positioning system is functioning abnormally.
· When there is no GNSS, do not fly over water surfaces, buildings with glass surface, or in scenarios where the altitude above the ground is greater than

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
30 meters. If the positioning system is functioning abnormally, the aircraft will enter ATTI mode. · It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot 2 and set the RTH altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m. · The aircraft cannot sense obstacles during RTH if the environment conditions are not suitable for the sensing system. · GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones. · The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point if the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution. · Pay extra attention to small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually in an emergency. · Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or transmission towers that the aircraft cannot bypass on the RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles. · The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the Advanced RTH settings in DJI Pilot 2 are changed during RTH. · If the max altitude is adjusted below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude first and then continue returning to home. · The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH. · If there is a large difference between the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speed differences at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power prompts and warning prompts in DJI Pilot 2. · When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to control the flight speed, but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be controlled to fly to the left or right. Constantly pushing the pitch stick to accelerate will increase the battery power consumption speed. The aircraft cannot bypass obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit RTH if the pitch stick is pushed all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released. · If the aircraft reaches the altitude limit of the aircraft current location or of the Home Point while it is ascending during Preset RTH, the aircraft stops ascending and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude. Pay attention to flight safety during RTH.
59 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
· If the Home Point is within the Altitude Zone but the aircraft is not in the Altitude Zone, when the aircraft reaches the Altitude Zone it will descend below the altitude limit, which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution.
· If the OcuSync video transmission is obstructed and disconnects, considering there may be large obstacles on the RTH route, to ensure safety during RTH, the RTH route will take the previous flight path as reference. If the aircraft is only rely on 4G enhanced transmission, pay more attention to the battery status and the RTH route in the map.
· The aircraft will exit RTH if the surrounding environment is too complex to complete RTH, even if the sensing system is working properly.
· RTH cannot be triggered during auto landing.
Advanced RTH
When Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in the app and will be adjusted according to the environment. During RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically according to environmental factors such as the wind speed, wind direction, and obstacles. If the control signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is good, exit RTH by pressing the RTH button or the flight pause button on the remote controller. After exiting RTH, you will regain control of the aircraft.
Trigger Method
The user actively triggers RTH During flight, you can trigger RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller.
Aircraft low battery During flight, if the battery level is low and only sufficient to fly to the Home Point, a warning prompt will appear in DJI Pilot 2. If you tap to confirm RTH or do not take action before the countdown ends, the aircraft will automatically initiate low battery RTH. If you cancel the low battery RTH prompt and continue flying the aircraft, the aircraft will land automatically when the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be cancelled but you can still fly the aircraft horizontally by moving the pitch stick and roll stick, and change the descent speed of the aircraft by moving the throttle stick. Fly the aircraft to a suitable place for landing as soon as possible.
60 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
· When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.
· DO NOT keep pushing the throttle stick upward during auto landing. Otherwise, the aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.
Loss of remote control or video transmission signal When the signal lost action is set to RTH, RTH automatically activates after the control signal is lost for more than six seconds. When the lighting and environment conditions are suitable for the vision system, DJI Pilot 2 will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the signal was lost. The aircraft will start RTH using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the signal is restored. DJI Pilot 2 will update the RTH path will accordingly. When the lighting and environment conditions are unsuitable for the vision system, the aircraft will brake and hover, then enter Original Route RTH. · If the RTH distance (the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home Point)
is farther than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies backward for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Preset RTH. · If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies straight horizontally back to the home point at the current altitude. · The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.
RTH Procedure
After Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place. · When the environment or lighting conditions are suitable for the vision system:
The aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings and then return to the Home Point if GNSS was available when takeoff.
If GNSS was unavailable and only the vision system was working when takeoff, the aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings and then return to the position with strong GNSS signal based on the RTH settings. It will approximately follow the outbound trajectory back to the vicinity of the home point. At this time, pay attention to the app prompts and choose whether to let the aircraft automatically RTH and land or to manually control the RTH and landing.
61 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
Pay attention if GNSS was unavailable when takeoff: Make sure that the obstacle avoidance is enabled. DO NOT fly in narrow spaces and the environmental wind speed should be
less than 3 m/s. Fly to the open area and stay at least 10 meters away from any obstacles
quickly after takeoff, otherwise, the aircraft may not be able to return to home. During flight, avoid flying over water surfaces until reaching an area with strong GNSS signal. The altitude above the ground should be greater than 2 meters and less than 30 meters, otherwise, the aircraft may not be able to return to the home point. If the aircraft enters ATTI mode before reaching the area with strong GNSS signal, the home point will be invalidated. If the vision positioning is not available during flight, the aircraft cannot return to the home point. Pay attention to the environment according to the App voice prompts to prevent collisions. When the aircraft returns to the vicinity of the takeoff point and the App prompts when the current environment is complex, please confirm whether to continue flying: » You need to confirm whether the flight path is correct and pay attention to
flight safety. » You need to confirm whether the lighting condition is sufficient for the
vision system. If not, the aircraft may exit RTH. Forcing the aircraft to continue RTH or flight may cause it to enter ATTI mode. After confirmation, the aircraft will continue to return to the home point at a low speed. If an obstacle appears on the return path, the aircraft will brake and may exit RTH. This RTH process does not support obstacle detection in textureless scenes such as glass or white walls. This RTH process requires the ground and nearby environments (such as walls) to have rich textures and no dynamic changes. · When the environment or lighting conditions are not suitable for the vision system: If the RTH distance is further than 5 m, the aircraft will return to home according to the Preset. The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.

Terrain Data
When the remote controller is connected to the internet, tap > > Assist in DJI Pilot 2, and enable Terrain Data, the remote controller will automatically download the elevation database to the aircraft. Based on the terrain data, the aircraft can plan an optimal flight path to bypass obstacles along the path during RTH. When terrain data is enabled, · if the environment or lighting conditions are suitable for the vision system, the aircraft
will automatically plan an optimal flight path based on the terrain data and the data collected by the vision system. The optimal flight path will maintain a safe distance from the terrain obstacles. · If the environment or lighting conditions are not suitable for the vision system, only the terrain data is effective. Safety risks may arise if the model data is inaccurate.
· Based on the terrain data, the aircraft will bypass the area that has weak GNSS signal to ensure aircraft positioning accuracy. If there are suspended models in the terrain data, such as cranes, power lines, and bridges, the aircraft will try to bypass the obstacles by flying above the objects.
· When the aircraft is using GNSS for positioning, the positioning accuracy is relatively low, and the obstacle bypassing performance may be affected. Users should fly with caution, and pay close attention to the flight route and the camera view.
RTH Settings
RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Pilot 2, tap > > Control, and scroll to Return to Home. · Optimal:
If the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will automatically plan the optimal RTH path and adjust the altitude according to environmental factors, such as obstacles and transmission signals,

Landing Protection
During RTH, landing protection activates once the aircraft begins to land (with downward obstacle sensing enabled). The specific performance of the aircraft is as follows: · If the ground is determined suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly. · If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for
pilot confirmation. · If landing protection is not operational, DJI Pilot 2 will display a landing prompt. Tap
Confirm or push the throttle stick all the way down and hold for one second, and the aircraft will land.
· After reaching the area above the Home Point, the aircraft will land precisely on the takeoff point. Performing a precision landing is subject to the following conditions: The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight. During takeoff, the aircraft must vertically ascend at least 7 m before moving horizontally. The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
65 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as a snow-covered field is not suitable. The lighting conditions must not be too bright or too dark.

6.3 Using Enhanced Transmission
Click the link below or scan the QR code to watch the tutorial video before first time use.
https://enterprise.dji.com/dock-3/video Enhanced Transmission integrates OcuSync video transmission technology with 4G networks. If the OcuSync video transmission is obstructed, experiencing interference, or used over long distances, 4G connectivity allows you to maintain aircraft control. The installation requirements are as shown below: · The aircraft needs to be installed with a DJI Cellular Dongle 2. Both the dongle and
nano-SIM card need to be purchased separately. · The remote controller can be equipped with a DJI Cellular Dongle 2 or can be
connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot to use Enhanced Transmission. Enhanced Transmission will consume data. If the transmission completely switches to a 4G network, a 30-minute flight consumes about 1 GB of data on the aircraft and the remote controller, respectively. This value is for reference only. Refer to the actual data usage.
· Enhanced Transmission is only supported in some countries and regions. · The DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and its related service are only available in some
countries and regions. Comply with local laws and regulations and DJI Cellular Dongle 2 Terms of Service.
Inserting the nano-SIM Card
Open the SIM card slot cover on the dongle, insert the nano-SIM card into the slot in the same direction as shown in the figure, and close the cover.
76 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
· It is strongly recommended to purchase a nano-SIM card which supports a 4G network from official channels of the local mobile network operator.
· DO NOT use an IoT SIM card, otherwise the video transmission quality will be seriously compromised.
· DO NOT use a SIM card provided by the virtual mobile network operator, otherwise it may lead to an inability to connect to the Internet .
· DO NOT cut the SIM card by yourself, otherwise the SIM card may be damaged, or the rough edges and corners may cause the SIM card to be unable to be inserted or removed properly.
· If the SIM card is set with a password (PIN code), make sure to insert the SIM card into the smartphone and cancel the PIN code setting, otherwise it will fail to connect to the Internet.
· Open the cover and push the nano-SIM card to partially eject it.

3. Check the icon in the upper right corner of the system desktop. If the 4G logo appears, it means that the enhanced transmission is available.
· Gently remove the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 from the aircraft as shown if needed. DO NOT pull the antennas by force. Otherwise, the antennas may be damaged.

Using Enhanced Transmission
After the aircraft and the remote controller are connected by a 4G network, Enhanced Transmission can be enabled in the app. · Go to the camera view, then tap the video transmission signal icon to enable or
disable Enhanced Transmission in the pop-up box. · Go to the camera view, tap > HD, and enable or disable Enhanced Transmission.
· Pay close attention to the video transmission signal strength after enabling Enhanced Transmission. Fly with caution. Tap the video transmission signal icon to view the current OcuSync video transmission and 4G video transmission signal strength in the pop-up box.
Security Strategy
Based on safe flight considerations, Enhanced Transmission can only be enabled when the OcuSync video transmission is in effect. If the OcuSync link is disconnected during flight, it is not possible to disable Enhanced Transmission.
78 © 2025 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Matrice 4D Series Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual
In a 4G-only transmission scenario, restarting the remote controller or DJI Pilot 2 will result in failsafe RTH. The 4G video transmission cannot be restored before the OcuSync link is reconnected. In the 4G-only transmission scenario, a takeoff countdown will start after the aircraft lands. If the aircraft does not take off before the countdown ends, it will not be allowed to take off until the OcuSync link is restored.
Remote Controller Usage Notes
If using the 4G network via the DJI Cellular Dongle 2, make sure to install the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 correctly, and turn off the Wi-Fi of the remote controller while using Enhanced Transmission to reduce interference. If using the 4G network by connecting the remote controller to a mobile device Wi-Fi hotspot, make sure to set the mobile device hotspot frequency band to 2.4 GHz and the network mode to 4G for a better video transmission experience. It is not recommended to answer incoming phone calls with the same smartphone or connecting multiple devices to the same hotspot.
4G Network Requirements
The 4G network transmission speed is determined by the 4G signal strength of the aircraft and the remote controller at the current position and the network congestion level of the corresponding base station. The actual transmission experience is closely related to the local 4G network signal conditions. The 4G network signal conditions include both sides of the aircraft and the remote controller with various speeds. If the network signal of either the aircraft or remote controller is weak, has no signal, or is busy, the experience of 4G transmission may drop and lead to the video transmission freezing, a delayed response of the controls, loss of video transmission, or loss of controls. Therefore, when using Enhanced Transmission: 1. Make sure to use the remote controller and aircraft in locations where the 4G signal is
close to full for a better transmission experience. 2. If the OcuSync signal is disconnected, the video transmission may lag and stutter
when the aircraft relies fully on a 4G signal. Fly with caution. 3. When the OcuSync signal is poor or disconnected, make sure to maintain an
appropriate altitude during the flight. In open areas, try to keep the flight altitude below 120 meters for a better 4G signal. 4. For flight in the city with tall buildings, make sure to set a suitable RTH altitude (higher than the tallest building).
