Notes

• Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SD card.
• Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for aircraft and remote controller firmware updates.
• Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the firmware update package.
• Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the firmware, as any incoming calls may disrupt the update process.
• Do not perform firmware updates while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware updates when the aircraft is landed.
• Be sure to update the remote controller's firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the aircraft's firmware.
• The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote controller and aircraft.
• Confirm the update results based on the blinking pattern of the camera status indicator or gimbal sound. It is normal for the aircraft to emit sounds or for the LED to blink during the update process.
