Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation varies by aircraft model. For the DJI Air 3 and Air 3S, remove the dedicated storage cover on the aircraft body and insert the dongle directly into the internal port. For the Mini 4 Pro, you must purchase and attach the official mounting kit, which includes the necessary external 4G antennas to ensure proper signal reception. Always ensure the device is firmly seated in the port. To care for the module, keep the connection pins clean and free of debris. If the dongle is frequently removed, store it in an anti-static case to prevent damage to the internal electronics.
