Why do you need to unlock your Mavic Pro?
Unlocking your Mavic Pro drone allows you to access additional flight modes, fly in restricted areas, and adjust certain settings that are otherwise limited by default. DJI implements these restrictions for safety purposes and compliance with local regulations.
Step 1: Register your drone
Before you can unlock your Mavic Pro, you need to register your drone with the appropriate authorities. Depending on where you live, the process can vary. In the United States, for instance, you must register your drone with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and obtain a unique identification number. Make sure to follow the registration guidelines specific to your country or region to stay compliant.
Step 2: Install the DJI GO 4 app
The DJI GO 4 app is an essential companion for your Mavic Pro drone. It allows you to control your drone, access various settings, and manage flight modes. Download and install the DJI GO 4 app on your smartphone or tablet from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Step 3: Connect your Mavic Pro and launch the DJI GO 4 app
After installing the app, turn on your Mavic Pro drone and connect it to your smartphone or tablet using the appropriate cable. Launch the DJI GO 4 app and ensure that your device is successfully connected to the drone.
Step 4: Access the unlock menu
In the DJI GO 4 app, tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the screen to open the main menu. From there, navigate to the “Settings” section and tap on “Unlocking the Mavic Pro” to access the unlock menu.
Step 5: Choose the type of unlock
In the unlock menu, you will find several options to unlock your Mavic Pro. These include unlocking flight limitations, no-fly zones, and geofencing restrictions. Depending on your needs, select the appropriate unlock type.
Step 6: Verify your identity
Some unlock options may require you to verify your identity to ensure responsible drone operation. Follow the on-screen instructions to provide the necessary information and complete the verification process.
Step 7: Submit your request
After choosing the unlock type and verifying your identity (if necessary), submit your request by tapping on the relevant button. It may take a few moments for DJI to review your request and process the unlock.
Step 8: Confirm the unlock
Once DJI approves your unlock request, you will receive a confirmation message on the DJI GO 4 app. Confirm the unlock and ensure you have read and understood any associated risks or responsibilities that come with unlocking certain features or restrictions.
Step 9: Restart your Mavic Pro
To apply the unlock successfully, restart your Mavic Pro drone. Power off the drone and controller, then power them back on again. This ensures that the new settings and unlocks are properly applied.
