Read the User Manual and take necessary precautions when handling the WIND-4 to ensure your own safety. DJI assumes no liability for damage or injuries incurred directly or indirectly from using the WIND-4 improperly.
Warnings The WIND-4 may cause serious damage and injury. The WIND-4 is not suitable for children under the age of 18 or non-professionals. Assembly Warnings Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Batteries are fully charged and properly inserted before power-on. Calibrate the compass before flight and confirm the Stick Mode.
Product Profile Introduction The WIND-4 is a professional flying platform. It is equipped with DJI’s industry-leading flight controller system, E5000 propulsion system, and Lightbridge 2 transmission system. The WIND-4 is fully compatible with supply box, megaphone etc., allowing developers to optimize the flying platform for specific applications.
Quick Installation Unfold the frame arms one by one, as shown in the figure below. Gently hold the motors from their bottoms with hands, rotate the arm sleeves clockwise, and ensure that they are tightened firmly. If necessary, lengthen the landing gears by operating the following steps: Loosen the screws on the landing gears counterclockwise.

Connect the right connector and then the left connector at one time. Left Right 右 Ensure that the two connectors are disconnected before inserting the battery in to or removing it from the WIND-4. DO NOT insert or remove the battery when powered on.
Ensure that the Intelligent Flight Battery does not have cosmetic damage or is not swollen before use. It must be fully charged before use. Intelligent Flight Battery Functions DJI Intelligent Flight Battery’s functions are listed below: Battery Level Display: LEDs display the current battery level. Battery Life Display: LEDs display the current battery life.
It is not recommended to fly under such conditions. If the DJI GO app displays the Low Battery Level warning, stop flying and land the aircraft immediately. You will still be able to control the aircraft’s movement when this warning is triggered.
Page 13
Checking the Battery Level The Battery Level Indicators display how much remaining charge the battery has. When the battery is powered off, press the Power Button once. The Battery Level Indicators will light up to display the current battery level. The Battery Level Indicators will also show the current battery level during charging and discharging.

For more information about the battery, launch DJI GO and check the information under the battery tab. Charging 1. It is recommended to charge a battery at 1C (12 A). (DO NOT charge a battery beyond 2C.) Never leave the battery unattended during charging.
Remote Controller Remote Controller Profile The remote controller operates at 2.4 GHz with a maximum signal transmission range of 3 km. Compliance Version: The remote controller complies with both CE and FCC regulations (refer to FCC ID). Operating Mode can be set to Mode 1, Mode 2 or a custom mode. Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle.
Turn the dial to adjust camera settings. (Only Use this dial to control the tilt or pan of the functions when the remote controller is gimbal. connected to a mobile device running the DJI GO [15] Mini-HDMI Mini HDMI Port...
Powering On and Off the Remote Controller The Wind-4 remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh. The battery level is indicated by the Battery Level LEDs on the front panel. When the remote controller is turned off, press the Power Button once and the Battery Level LEDs will display the current battery level.

Charging the Remote Controller Charge the remote controller using the included charger. Controlling the Aircraft This section explains how to control the orientation of the aircraft through the remote controller. The remote controller is set to Mode 2 by default. Stick Neutral/Mid-Point: Control sticks are in the center position.
Page 19
(Mode 2) indicates the tail direction.) Moving the Left Stick up/down changes the aircraft’s elevation. Push it up to ascend and down to descend. Use this stick to take off when the motors are spinning at idle speed. The aircraft will hover in place if the Left Stick is released.

of the antenna should be facing the aircraft. If the signal is weak, fly the aircraft closer to you. Ensure that the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position between the operator and aircraft to achieve the optimal signal transmission performance.
Remote Controller Status LED The Status LED shows the connection status between the remote controller and aircraft while the RTH Status LED indicates the Return-to-Home Status of the aircraft. The table below shows the Status LED and RTH Status LED on the remote controller.
The remote controller Status LED will blink blue and beep to indicate that the remote controller is ready to be linked. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and click “DJI LightBridge 2”, “Settings” and “Link Air System”. After the linking is successful, the Status LED on the remote controller will be solid green.
The remote controller will disconnect from the linked aircraft if another remote controller attempts to link to the same aircraft. Remote Controller Compliance Version The WIND-4’s remote controller meets FCC and CE regulations.

Dynamic Home Point Dynamic Home Point can be used when you are moving while flying the WIND-4, such as in a car or on a boat. When Dynamic Home Point is enabled, the aircraft’s Home Point will be updated in real time and the remote controller’s GPS location will be recorded as the latest Home Point.
Page 29
Perform the following steps to enable Dynamic Home Point: 1. Connect the remote controller to the mobile device, launch the DJI GO app and enter the “Camera” screen. 2. Tap “ ” and select “ ”. In this case, the remote controller’s coordinates will be recorded as the aircraft’s latest Home Point.
Flight Operation Environment Requirements DO NOT use the aircraft in severe weather conditions, including wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s, snow, rain and fog, etc. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS system.
Maximum Height and Radius Limits The maximum height and radius limits can be changed in the DJI GO app. Once set, your WIND-4 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.
Page 32
Max. No limit Radius If the aircraft flies out of the limit, you can still control the aircraft via the remote controller, but cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft flies out of the maximum radius, it will fly back within the maximum radius automatically when the GPS signal is strong.

Starting at 20 meters (65 feet) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. Flight altitude is limited to 500 meters (1640 feet) at R1+1 meters. [4] When the aircraft comes within 320 feet (100 meters) of a No Fly Zone, a warning will be shown in the DJI GO app.
Page 34
Semi-Automatic Descent: All stick commands are available except the throttle stick command during landing. Motors will stop automatically after landing. The Flight Mode Switch needs to be toggled to regain control of the aircraft. This is the same as regaining control during RTH. When flying in restricted-altitude flight zone and warning zone, the Aircraft Status Indicator will flash yellow quickly for three seconds, and then start indicating the current flight status for five seconds.
Check whether the DJI DO app runs normally. Flight Status Indicator The WIND-4 comes with front LEDs, rear LEDs and an Aircraft Status Indicator. The front LEDs and rear LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicator indicates the system status of the flight controller. The table below shows different indications of the Aircraft Status Indicator.
Calibration Procedures Perform the following steps on an open area to calibrate the compass: Launch the DJI GO app, enter the “Camera” screen, tap the “Aircraft Status” bar and “Calibrate” beside “Compass”. When the Aircraft Status Indicator is solid yellow, the compass calibration initiates.
Page 37
A prompt stating that compass calibration is required will pop up on the DJI GO app when the aircraft’s compass needs to be calibrated before take-off. After the compass has been calibrated successfully, this prompt will disappear.
Page 38
Auto takeoff can be used when the Aircraft Status Indicator is flashing green. Follow the steps below to use the auto takeoff feature: 1. Launch the DJI GO app and enter the “Camera” screen. 2. Ensure that the aircraft is in P-mode.
Page 39
3. Launch the DJI GO app, connect the mobile device with WIND-4 and enter the “Camera” screen. 4. Wait until the Aircraft Status Indicator flashes green and “SAFE TO FLY (GPS)” is shown in the DJI GO app. Then perform CSC to start the motors.
