Hey, I'm Ty, and you're watching the DJI Spark Tutorial Video Series.
In this video, we'll go through how to get your new Spark ready
for its first flight by activating the aircraft,
linking the aircraft to its remote controller,
and adjusting the aircraft wifi settings.
To ensure safety, all Spark batteries are set
to hibernation mode before shipping.
This means your battery won't turn on until it's been fully charged.
Now to do this, insert the battery into the aircraft
if it's not already inserted.
Then connect the USB cable to the port
that's just above the battery to charge it.
When charging is complete the battery level indicators will turn off.
Now, let's get your Spark activated.
Ensure your mobile device has internet access.
Start the DJI Go 4 app.
Tap the product name icon in the top left and select Spark,
then tap the three lined icon in the upper right corner
and choose Scan QR Code.
Now use your mobile device to scan the serial number QR code
inside Spark's battery compartment
or on the storage case.
Then an activation menu will appear in your app.
Follow the instructions on screen
and tap the Complete icon or the back arrow to move between activation steps.
To connect to Spark's wifi network, check the sticker inside the battery compartment.
Here you'll find your Spark's wifi name and password,
which can also be found on its storage box.
Battery slides in easily like this.
The button on the back, as always,
press once, again and hold to turn on.
Power on Spark and use this info to connect Spark's wifi network
from your mobile device's wifi settings.
First, name your Spark.
You can change the name later in DJI Go 4 if you so choose.
Then, set the stick mode.
The controller uses mode two by default.
Now, on the next page, choose whether or not to use beginner mode.
Beginner mode is enabled by default to ensure safety for new pilots.
Congratulations, you've just successfully activated Spark.
Now, if it's your first time flying Spark
we suggest practicing in the simulator
and following the all new beginner guide
which helps you get familiar with the controls and the user interface.
Next, we'll show you how to link your aircraft
with its controller using DJI Go 4.
Now both the aircraft and controller should be powered on,
and you can tell the aircraft and controller need to be linked
when the Spark's rear indicators are flashing yellow quickly
and the controller indicator is solid red.
Now to get started, connect your mobile device
with the controller via wifi.
Then start DJI Go 4 and tap the wifi icon in the lower left
to enter the connection help menu.
Tap Remote Controller,
and tap Remote Controller Linking at the bottom of the page.
After the controller beeps like this,
it will be prime to link.
Now, press the Spark's power button
and hold it for three seconds.
Release it as soon as you hear a beep.
Spark's front indicators will begin to flash red quickly
which means linking is in progress.
When the controller stops beeping
and Spark's front indicators turn solid green
it means the controller and Spark are successfully linked.
The app will also inform you with a notification.
You can also link by pressing the Customizable, Pause,
and Function buttons on the controller at the same time.
Release them once the controller starts beeping.
Now, again, hold down the Spark's power button
for three seconds, and release when you hear a beep.
Spark will start linking with the controller
with its front indicators flashing red quickly.
When the controller stops beeping
and Spark's front indicators turn green, linking is complete.
After Spark and the controller are linked
Spark's wifi network will be hidden,
so if you wanna control the Spark with just your mobile device
you're gonna need to switch its connecting mode.
Hold down Spark's power button for six seconds.
Release it after you hear two beeps.
When the front LEDs start flashing green quickly
the connecting mode is switched.
Spark's wifi network will now be visible in your mobile device's wifi setting menu.
Next, we'll show you how to change Spark's wifi name and password.
With the app connected to the aircraft's wifi,
from the equipment page, enter the Connection Help menu.
At the bottom of the screen, tap Change WiFi Settings.
Enter a new name and password,
then tap Done to finalize the changes.
If you would like to reset the wifi name and password to factory defaults,
just press and hold the Spark'spower button for nine seconds,
and release it after hearing three beeps.
The aircraft's wifi name and password will then be reset.
Now you're ready for your first flight.
Join us in your next video where we'll discuss some basics of flight
and show you how to fly with the remote controller.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.
