Getting Started

Charging

To charge DJI OM 4, connect a USB adapter (not included) to the charging port using the power cable (included). The battery is fully charged when the battery level indicators turn off. Charging time: 2.5 hours (tested in the environment temperature of 25°C when using a 10W charger)
Max runtime: 15 hours (tested with the gimbal balanced and held steadily. This value should be taken as a reference only)

DJI OM 4 can be used as a power bank. Connect your mobile phone to the USB-A port. If DJI OM 4 is powered on, the mobile phone will begin to charge. If DJI OM 4 is powered off, press the M button once to start charging.

Attaching the Phone

1. The provided magnetic phone clamp and magnetic ring holder can be used to mount a phone to DJI OM 4.
   Using the Magnetic Phone Clamp: attach the magnetic phone clamp in the center of the phone.

• Make sure the direction of the magnetic phone clamp is the same as shown and it is in the middle of the phone. Otherwise, the gimbal performance may be affected.
• Adjust the phone clamp and make sure it is as vertical like the phone.
• For optimal performance, use the provided riser pad if using a phone less than 7.5 mm thick or weighing less than 160 g.

Using the Magnetic Ring Holder:

• Only attach the magnetic ring holder to phones that are supported by DJI OM 4. Refer to the DJI OM 4 Mobile Phone Compatibility List at www.dji.com/om-4 for more information.
• The sticker must be used when attaching the magnetic ring holder to a mobile phone made of glass. DO NOT attach the magnetic ring holder directly to a mobile phone made of glass.
• DO NOT attach the magnetic ring holder to a mobile phone case. Otherwise, the gimbal performance may be affected.
• Make sure no air is trapped between the sticker and the mobile phone. Otherwise, the mobile phone may fall off.
  

Follow the steps below to attach the magnetic ring holder to the center of the mobile phone.

1. Use the wet wipes to clean the back of the mobile phone and use the dry wipes afterward. Attach the sticker to the center of the back of the mobile phone.
   
2. Place the alignment guide on the back of the mobile phone. Adjust the position of the alignment guide to locate the center of the mobile phone.
   
3. Attach the magnetic ring holder to the back of the mobile phone. Make sure it is firmly attached.
   
4. Remove the alignment guide. Wait 12 hours before attaching the mobile phone to DJI OM 4 with the magnetic ring holder.
