If a USB connection prompt appears when an Android mobile device is used, select the option to charge only. Other options may cause the connection to fail.

Activating the DJI Mini 3 Aircraft

DJI Mini 3 requires activation before first use. After powering on the aircraft and remote controller, follow the on-screen prompts to activate the DJI Mini 3 using DJI Fly. An internet connection is required for activation.

Binding the Aircraft and Remote Controller

After activation, the aircraft is bound to the remote controller automatically. If automatic binding fails, follow the on-screen prompts on the DJI Fly to bind the aircraft and remote controller for optimal warranty services.

Updating Firmware

A prompt will appear in DJI Fly when new firmware is available. Update the firmware whenever prompted to ensure optimal user experience.

Aircraft

DJI Mini 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, downward vision system, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilises GNSS and the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilise. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilise.

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GNSS and the Downward Vision System for positioning. In Sport mode, aircraft responses are optimised for agility and speed, making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum flight speed reaches 16 m/s.

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode, and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. The maximum flight speed is 6 m/s.

• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode.
• A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
• A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode.
• The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate manoeuvring space during flight.
• The flight speed and attitude are both restricted when the aircraft is flying leftward or rightward to ensure shooting stability. The restriction reaches its maximum when the tilt of the gimbal is -90°. If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft.
• As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while shooting. Users may experience a minor tremor in videos recorded in Sport mode.

Aircraft Status Indicator

DJI Mini 3 has two aircraft status indicators.

Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status indicators.

Aircraft Status Indicator Descriptions

QuickTransfer

DJI Mini 3 can connect directly to mobile devices via Wi-Fi, enabling users to download photos and videos from the aircraft to the mobile device through DJI Fly without using the DJI RC-N1 remote controller. Users can enjoy faster and more convenient downloads with a transmission rate of up to 25 MB/s.

Usage

Method 1: The mobile device is not connected to the DJI RC-N1 remote controller.

1. Power on the aircraft and wait until the self-diagnostic tests of the aircraft are complete. Quickly press the power button three times to switch to QuickTransfer mode. The aircraft status LEDs will blink blue once switching is successful.
2. Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on the mobile device. Launch DJI Fly, and a prompt will appear to connect to the aircraft.
3. Tap Connect. Once successfully connected, the files on the aircraft can be accessed and downloaded at high speed. Note that when connecting the mobile device to the aircraft for the first time, you need to press and hold the power button for two seconds to confirm.

Method 2: The mobile device is connected to the DJI RC-N1 remote controller

1. Make sure that the aircraft is connected to the mobile device via the DJI RC-N1 remote controller and the motors have not started. Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the mobile device.
2. Launch DJI Fly, enter playback, and tap 3 in the upper right corner. Switch to QuickTransfer mode by following the prompts in DJI Fly. Download the files on the aircraft at high speed once switching is complete.

Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three RTH modes: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost. RTH will also be triggered in other abnormal scenarios, such as when video transmission is lost.

Smart RTH

If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping c in the DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller. Exit Smart RTH by tapping & in the DJI Fly or by pressing the RTHbutton on the remote controller.

Low Battery RTH

When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will fall when it runs out of power, resulting in the aircraft being damaged and other potential hazards. To avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, Dji Mini 3 will intelligently determine whether the current battery level is sufficient to return home based on the current location. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and only enough to complete an RTH flight.

Failsafe RTH

The action the aircraft performs once it loses the remote controller signal can be set as Return to Home, Land, or Hover in DJI Fly. If the action was set as Land or Hover, Failsafe RTH will not be activated. If the action was set as Return to Home in advance, and where the Home Point has been recorded, the GNSS signal is good, and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will automatically activate once the remote controller signal is lost for more than 11 seconds.

Other RTH Scenarios

There will be a prompt to initiate RTH if the video link signal is lost during flight, while the remote controller is still able to control the movements of the aircraft. RTH can be cancelled.

RTH Procedure (Straight Line)

• The Home Point is recorded. RTH is triggered. If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, it will hover in placeand not return to home.
• The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point if the GNSS signal is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailableafter entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.
• It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH altitude. In RTH, if the current altitude of the aircraft is lower than the RTH altitude, it will automatically ascend to the RTH altitude first.
• During RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. However, the aircraft cannot be shifted leftward or rightward.
• GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones. The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground.
2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the DJI Mini 3 will hover and wait for pilot confirmation.
3. If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends to 0.5 m from the ground. Tap confirm or pull down on the throttle stick to land.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

DjI Mini 3 is equipped with a Downward Vision System and an infrared Sensing System. The Downward Vision System consists of one camera, and the Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System help the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely, and fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

Detection Range

The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 m to 10 m, and its operating range is 0.5 m to 30 m. FOV is 56° (left and right) and 71° (front and back).

Using the Vision Systems

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and there is sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude of 0.5 to 10 m. If the altitude of the aircraft is above 10 m, the Vision System may be affected. Extra caution is required.

• Pay attention to the flight environment. The Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System only work under limited conditions and cannot replace human control and judgment.
• During flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment andto the warnings on DJI Fly and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft. The aircraft has a max hovering altitude of 5 m if GNSS is unavailable.
• The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flyingover water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below when landing.
• It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonablejudgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid relying on the Downward Vision System.
• Note that the Downward Vision System and Infrared Sensing System may not functionproperly when the aircraft is flying too fast. The Infrared Sensing System only takes effect when the flight speed is no more than 12 m/s.
• The Downward Vision System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations or where there is weak light. The Downward Vision System cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously.

Flight Limits

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

DjI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flight. Before that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji. com/flysafe.

Flight Limits

For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

Maximum flight altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum flight distance restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be set using the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety.

When GNSS is available

When GNSS is weak

• If the aircraft reaches an altitude or radius limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any further. If the aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within range when the GNSS signal is strong.
• For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centres, or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.
