  • DJI Fly app: Download and install the latest version of the DJI Fly app on your mobile device.
  • Clear airspace: Choose an open area free of obstacles and potential hazards.

Step 1: Power Up Your Devices

1. Turn on your Avata drone: Press the power button located on the top of the drone. Wait for the propellers to spin and the status lights to illuminate.
2. Power on your DJI FPV Controller 2: Press and hold the power button on the controller until it powers on. The screen should light up, indicating the controller is ready.

Step 2: Connecting the Controller to Your Phone

2. Log in to your DJI account: If you haven’t already, log in to your DJI account in the app.

Step 3: Entering Binding Mode

1. Open the DJI Fly app: Ensure the app is connected to your controller and drone.
2. Navigate to the ‘Control’ section: This option is typically located in the bottom menu of the DJI Fly app.

2. Check the DJI Fly app: The app should display real-time data from the drone, including its battery level, signal strength, and flight modes.

Troubleshooting Common Binding Issues

Even with the best preparation, you might encounter some challenges during the binding process. Here are some common issues and solutions:

  • No signal: Ensure both your drone and controller are fully charged. Check if the antennas are properly deployed on the controller and drone.
  • Binding fails: If the binding process fails, restart both the drone and controller. Try the binding procedure again, ensuring you follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
  • Connection drops: Interference from other electronic devices or strong electromagnetic fields can disrupt the signal. Move to a clear area with minimal interference.
