Activate your DJI Inspire 2

A step by step guide to activating the DJI Inspire 2 Quadcopter once you receive your unit.

When you receive your Inspire 2 in the post I know you’ll be dying to get out and fly. Firstly however, you’ll need to activate the quadcopter using your mobile device. This is quick and easy, and with our step by step guide to activating your DJI Inspire 2, you’ll be flying in no time.

  1. Connect your mobile device and Inspire 2 Remote Controller with a USB cable.imagesattach-inspire-2-remote-and-mobile-device-usb-cable-700x230-new.jpeg

  2. Power on all three devices, the mobile phone or tablet, Inspire 2 Remote Controller and Inspire 2 Aircraft.power-on-inspire-2-remote-mobile-device-700x296-new2.jpeg

  3. Ensure that your mobile device is connected to the Internet.

  4. Open the DJI GO 4 app on your mobile device.imageslaunch-dji-go-4-700x505-new.jpeg

  7. Click ‘Continue’ and you’ll be presented with a ‘Control Mode’ screen. Heliguy suggest using the default settings for getting started (Mode 2). You can always change these settings later within DJI GO 4 if you need to. select-control-mode-700x505-new2.jpg

  8. Tap ‘Continue’ in the top right hand corner and select the preferred Unit of Measurement and Video Output. imageschoose-video-output-measurement-units-700x505-new.jpg

  9. Press ‘Continue’ again. Then enter the email address of your registered DJI account. This will bind the aircraft you’re activating to the specific DJI account you enter. This cannot be changed, so ensure that you’re using the correct account. imagesconfirm-your-dji-account-inspire-2-activate-700x506-new.jpg
