How do I pair my DJI smart controller?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To pair your DJI Smart Controller with your Mavic 2 drone, you have two options: using the Linking button on the controller or using a button combination method. I’ll explain both methods in detail.

1. Using the Linking button:
– Start by turning on your DJI Smart Controller and your Mavic 2 drone.
– Tap the “Linking” option on the controller’s screen. This will put the controller in linking mode.
– On your Mavic 2 drone, locate the Linking button. It is usually found on the side or bottom of the drone, depending on the model.
– Press and hold the Linking button until you hear a beep or see the LED lights on the drone start to blink rapidly.
– Wait for the DJI Smart Controller to automatically establish a connection with the Mavic 2 drone. Once the connection is established, you’ll see a confirmation message on the controller’s screen.

2. Using the button combination method:
– Start by turning on your DJI Smart Controller and your Mavic 2 drone.
– On the DJI Smart Controller, press and hold the C1, C2, and Record buttons simultaneously.
– While still holding the buttons, locate the Linking button on your Mavic 2 drone and press it once.
– Keep holding the C1, C2, and Record buttons on the controller until you hear a beep or see the LED lights on the drone start to blink rapidly.
– Release the buttons and wait for the DJI Smart Controller to automatically link with the Mavic 2 drone. Once the connection is established, you’ll see a confirmation message on the controller’s screen.

It’s worth noting that the specific location of the Linking button on the Mavic 2 drone may vary slightly depending on the model you have. Make sure to refer to the user manual or DJI’s official documentation for more accurate instructions.

In case you encounter any issues during the pairing process, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
– Make sure the firmware on both the DJI Smart Controller and the Mavic 2 drone are up to date. Updating the firmware can often resolve compatibility issues.
– Double-check that both devices are powered on and within close proximity to each other.
– If using the button combination method, ensure that you’re pressing and holding the correct buttons on the DJI Smart Controller.
– If the LED lights on the Mavic 2 drone aren’t blinking rapidly, try restarting both the controller and the drone and attempt the pairing process again.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you successfully pair your DJI Smart Controller with your Mavic 2 drone. Happy flying!
