Upgrading the Remote Controller Firmware
Method 1: Using the DJI GO 4 App
Power on the remote controller and connect it with the DJI GO 4 app. A prompt will appear if a new 
rmware upgrade is available. To start upgrading, connect a mobile device to the Internet and follow the 
on-screen instructions.
Method 2: Using a Micro SD Card (For Phantom 4 Advanced+ only)
1.  Visit the ofcial DJI website and go to the Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ page, download the 
latest rmware to a Micro SD card.
2. Insert the Micro SD card into the Micro SD card slot of the remote controller. 
3.  Power on the remote controller, enter System Settings > System Update, click Local Update on the 
top-right corner. The latest rmware will show on the Micro SD card. Click Update to start upgrading.
The rmware update will take around 15 minutes. It is normal that the gimbal will go limp, the 
aircraft status indicator blinks abnormally and the aircraft reboots. Wait patiently until the update 
is complete.
 Ensure the computer has access to the Internet.
 Ensure the battery level is adequate for the Intelligent Flight Battery and the remote controller.
 Do not disconnect the aircraft from the computer during rmware upgrade.
Intelligent Flight Mode 
Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POI), Follow Me and 
Waypoints features to assist users to capture professional shoots during the ight. Course Lock and 
Home Point lock ensure the lock of aircraft orientation, sparing the user to focus more on other oper-
ations. Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to y automatically according 
to the pre-set ight maneuvers.
Course Lock 
Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft’s forward direction. The aircraft will 
move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle).
Home Lock  Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorded Home Point.
Point of Interest
The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator to be 
more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest.
Follow Me 
A virtual tether is created between the aircraft and the mobile device so that the 
aircraft can track your movement as you move. Note that Follow Me performance is 
subject to the GPS accuracy on the mobile device. 
Waypoints
Record a ight path, then the aircraft will y along the same path repeatedly while 
you control the camera and orientation. The ight path can be saved and re-apply in 
the future.
