Calibrating The Compass - dji MAVIC 2 ENTERPRISE Advanced User Manual

Calibrating the Compass

Aircraft
It is recommended to calibrate the compass in any of the following situations when flying outdoors:
1. Flying in a location more than 31 miles (50 km) away from the location the drone was last flown.
2. The aircraft has not been flown for more than 30 days.
3. A compass interference warning prompt appears in DJI Pilot and/or the Aircraft Status Indicators
blink red and yellow alternately.
DO NOT calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur, such as close
to magnetite deposits or large metallic structures such as parking structures, steel reinforced
basements, bridges, cars, or scaffolding.
DO NOT carry objects such as cell phones that contain ferromagnetic materials near the aircraft
during calibration.
It is not necessary to calibrate the compass when flying indoors.
Calibration Procedure
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedure.
1. Tap the System Status Bar in DJI Pilot, select Calibrate, and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360°. The Aircraft Status Indicator will turn solid green.
3. Hold the aircraft vertically with the front pointing downward and rotate it 360° around a vertical axis.
4. If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red, calibration has failed. Change locations and try calibration again.
If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow alternately after calibration is completed,
this indicates the current location is unsuitable for flying the aircraft due to the level of magnetic
interference. Choose a new location.
A prompt will appear in DJI Pilot if compass calibration is required before takeoff.
The aircraft can take off immediately once calibration is complete. If users wait more than three
minutes to take off, the aircraft may need to be calibrated again. It is possible that another compass
interference warning will appear while the aircraft is on the ground. This indicates that the current
location is unsuitable for flying the aircraft due to the level of magnetic interference.
