Page 7: Introduction
Product Profile Introduction The Inspire 1 RAW is brand new quadcopter capable of capturing 4K video and transmitting an HD video signal (up to 5 km) to multiple devices straight out of the box. Equipped with retractable landing gear, it can capture an unobstructed 360 degree view from its camera.
Page 8: Installing The Gimbal And Camera
(e.g. carpet) before switching between the travel modes and landing mode. Installing the Gimbal and Camera The following steps use the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH as illustration of how to mount the camera lens to the camera body. Be sure to power off the battery before installation.
Page 9 2. While holding down the Lens Release Button, rotate the camera lens counterclockwise to detach it. Lens Release Button It is recommended to wrap a dust cover around the lens to prevent contamination. DJI produces dedicated dust covers for the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH and the Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH.
Page 10 Filters must have a weigh 7 - 11 g, with those weighing 10 - 11 g performing the best. Outside this range, the filter will decrease gimbal performance. DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH supports filters have a size of 46mm. The Balancing Ring must be installed on the camera lens when a filter is not used.

Flight Status Indicator The Inspire 1 RAW comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicator...
Page 16: Return To Home (Rth)
Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P31 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI GO app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH.
Page 17 Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown.
Page 18: Dynamic Home Point
(65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an reasonable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.
Page 19: Vision Positioning System
DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 RAW can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1 RAW, including [1] two sonar sensors and [2] one monocular camera.
Page 20 2. Place the Inspire 1 RAW on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1 RAW. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 RAW will hover in place.
Page 21: Flight Recorder
ONLY use original DJI propellers for a better and safer flight experience. DJI Intelligent Flight Battery The DJI Intelligent Flight Battery has a capacity of 4500mAh, voltage of 22.2V, and smart charge- discharge functionality. It can only be charged with an appropriate DJI approved charger.
Page 22 9. Short Circuit Protection: Automatically cuts the power supply when a short circuit is detected. 10. Battery Cell Damages Protection: DJI GO app shows warning message when damaged battery cell is detected. 11. Battery Information History: Show the last 32 entries of battery information records that include warning messages and so on.

Page 24 Do not charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller with standard charger (model: A14-100P1A) at the same time, otherwise the charger may overheat. Always turn off the battery before inserting it or removing it from the Inspire 1 RAW. Never insert or remove a battery when it is powered on.
Page 25 Leave it on until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Launch the DJI GO app to check battery level. Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 RAW outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on.
