Connecting the dock and the aircraft
The dock and the aircraft are linked and activated during dock configuration. If a different 
aircraft is used, follow the steps to link the dock and the aircraft:
1.  Loosen the screws of the electrical cabinet door using a 2.5mm hex key. Pull to open the 
electrical cabinet door and view the operation panel.
2.  Press, then press and hold the power button to power on the aircraft.
3.  Press and  hold the  link button in  the electrical  cabinet, then press  and hold  the power 
button of the aircraft for more than ve seconds. During the linking process, the dock cover 
status indicators will blink blue, and short beeps will sound from the dock.
4.  When linking is successful, the dock status indicators will blink white.
The aircraft needs to be activated before rst use. Follow the steps below for activation:
•  Method 1: Make sure the dock and the aircraft are linked. Connect the USB-C port of the 
remote controller to the USB-A port of the dock electrical cabinet. Run DJI Pilot 2 and follow 
the prompts in the app to activate.
•  Method 2: Power on the aircraft and the remote controller, run DJI Pilot 2, select  Matrice 
3D Series on the homepage to link the remote controller and the aircraft, and follow the 
prompts in the app to activate.
• Make sure the remote controller is connected to the internet during activation.
Calibrating the Dock RTK
The dock integrates dual RTK antennas, allowing for centimeter-level positioning when used 
with DJI Matrice 3D Series aircraft. 
To ensure ight route accuracy, make sure the dock RTK is calibrated before an RTK ight task. 
The dock RTK data is already calibrated using the remote controller during dock conguration, 
and does not require recalibration if the dock location remains the same. If the dock is moved, 
recalibrate the dock location in DJI Pilot 2 using the remote controller. Refer to the Installation 
and Setup Manual for more information. 
• Make sure the landing pad is clear of obstacles and that the RTK antennas are not 
covered. Otherwise, the signals will be obstructed and the positioning performance 
will be aected.
• When setting the alternate landing site or performing RTK tasks, DO NOT move the 
dock position, restart the dock, or recalibrate the dock position.
• Increased ionospheric activity or scintillation may affect the accuracy of RTK 
positioning. In this case, it is not recommended to calibrate the dock position.
• Users can open the DJI FlightHub 2 project page, click   >   > Action to view the 
dock RTK status.
