8. Calibration
When you get the prompt “Calibration failed” in the App repeatedly, change the location and try the calibration
procedure again.
Do not calibrate compass while arms are folded.
8.1 Compass Calibration
8.1.1 When to perform compass calibration
1. Before the first flight
2. Flying at a location farther than 50km (31miles) away from the location the drone was last flown
8.1.2 Calibration Procedure
1. When calibration is required, the App will pop up the calibration interface automatically, tap “Start Calibration”,
and the drone status indicator will alternatively flash red and green.
2. Hold the drone horizontally and rotate it 360° till the App shows vertical calibration, and the drone status
indicator will alternatively flash blue and green.
3. Hold the drone vertically and rotate it 360° around a vertical axis till the App prompts the calibration completed.
You can also trigger compass calibration manually in the App: Settings-Calibration-Compass Calibration.
Do not calibrate the compass in locations where magnetic interference may occur, such as close to magnetic
deposits or large metallic structures such as parking structures, steel reinforced basements, bridges, cars, or
scaffolding.
Keep away from other electronic device when calibrating, such as near to the mobile phone.
Make sure the drone is at least 1.5m (4.92ft) above the ground when calibrating.
It’s not necessary to calibrate the compass when flying indoors.
This chapter mainly introduces the calibration-related functions in Settings, including compass calibration, gimbal
calibration, gimbal fine-tuning, remote controller calibration, and drone re-pairing.
