Before using your DJI D-RTK 3 AG, it is important to watch all the tutorial videos first, then read the documentation included in the package and the user manual.

The main components of the DJI D-RTK 3 AG are:

1. Power Button

2. Power Indicator

3. Mode Indicator

4. GNSS Signal Indicator

5. Reserved Port

6. USB-C Port

7. 5/8″-11 UNC Thread Hole

8. OcuSync Orientation Antennas

Note: When not in use, make sure to cover the ports to protect the product from moisture and dust. When using the DJI Assistant 2, make sure to use a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the USB-C port of the device to a USB-A port of the computer.

You must charge the DJI D-RTK 3 AG to activate the internal battery before using it for the first time. Use a PD3.0 USB charger with a voltage from 9 to 15 V, such as the DJI 65W Portable Charger.

1. Connect the charger to the USB-C port on the D-RTK 3. When the power indicator lights up, the battery has been successfully activated. Charge the unit until the indicator displays green before use.

2. To power on or off the D-RTK 3, press, and then press and hold the power button.

When using a non-recommended charger, such as a charger with a 5V-output, the DJI D-RTK 3 AG can be charged only after powering it off.

The DJI D-RTK 3 AG needs to be activated before its first use. The GNSS signal indicator will blink red when not activated. Follow these steps to activate it:

1. Power on the aircraft and remote controller. Ensure the aircraft is linked to the remote controller.

2. Power on the D-RTK 3. Open the DJI Agras app and select D-RTK Station in Device Management. Select the desired D-RTK 3 in the search results and wait for the remote controller to display that it is connecting to the broadcast network of the D-RTK 3.

3. After connecting, activate the D-RTK 3 by following the instructions on the app. Ensure the remote controller is connected to the internet during activation.

To ensure optimal performance of your DJI D-RTK 3 AG, follow these environmental requirements during setup:

• The setup environment requires a wide field of vision. Ensure there are no obstructions (like trees or buildings) within a 15° angle above the horizontal plane of the product antennas to prevent GNSS signals from being absorbed or blocked.

• Use the product in an open, radio interference-free environment. Avoid using wireless devices that operate on the same frequency bands as the product.

• The setup location should be at least 200 meters away from high-power radio emission sources (such as television stations, microwave stations) and at least 50 meters away from high-voltage transmission lines to avoid electromagnetic interference with GNSS signals.

• The setup location should be away from large areas of water or objects that strongly interfere with satellite signal reception to reduce multipath effects.

Yes, please adhere to the following notices during setup:

• DO NOT bend excessively or fold the cable during installation.

• During installation and placement, make sure the top side of the D-RTK 3 is relatively level with the horizontal surface.

• DO NOT attempt to disassemble any part of the product that has already been mounted prior to shipping.

• Use the Survey Pole and Tripod kit (sold separately) to set up in an open, unobstructed environment. Ensure the tripod is stable during use.

• DO NOT change the position or angle of the tripod or the D-RTK 3 after it has been leveled, otherwise, it will need to be readjusted.

When using the DJI D-RTK 3 AG, please observe the following guidelines:

• Only use the product in the corresponding frequency band and in accordance with local laws and regulations.

• DO NOT obstruct any of the antennas of the product during use.

• Only use genuine parts or officially authorized parts. Unauthorized parts may cause the system to malfunction and compromise safety.

• Ensure there is no foreign matter such as water, oil, soil, or sand inside the product.

• The product contains precision parts. Avoid collisions to prevent damage.

• When using the device in rainy or snowy weather, take necessary water-resistant measures. Use with caution and pay attention to lightning protection.

• Handle the sharp ends of the survey pole and tripod with caution.

• When using the survey pole and tripod for installation and elevation, be mindful of the surrounding environment to prevent toppling or electrical hazards.

• After transportation, the level bubble of the survey pole may be offset and can be re-leveled using the bottom screw.

• When a low battery occurs, the buzzer will emit continuous beeping.

• During charging, the indicator will blink quickly when the charging power is sufficient, and blink slowly when it is insufficient.

Note: A slowly blinking red light indicates the device is inactivated.

After setting the signal source as D-RTK 3, you can choose a positioning mode based on your usage scene:

• PPP: Suitable for scenes without Network RTK service. When setting up in a location without a network for the first time, use this mode for positioning and save the position coordinates. When setting up at the same location again, select Custom Coordinates mode and choose the saved coordinates for positioning.

• Network RTK/Custom Network RTK: Suitable for scenes with Network RTK service. When there is no ionospheric interference, use this mode for positioning and save the position coordinates. Even if the ionosphere becomes active and interference occurs, positioning can still be achieved without switching modes. However, if the D-RTK 3 is restarted or moved during ionospheric activity, it must be set up at the same location, then select Custom Coordinates mode and choose the saved coordinates for positioning.

• Custom Coordinates: When setting up at a location with saved coordinates, select this mode and choose the saved coordinates for positioning. After restarting, use Custom Coordinates mode for calibration. Set up the D-RTK 3 at a location with known coordinates, select the corresponding coordinate point for positioning. The calibration is completed when the positioning is successful.

Before starting a firmware update, please take note of the following:

• Make sure the devices are fully charged before updating the firmware.

• Make sure to follow all the steps to update the firmware. Otherwise, the update will fail.

• Update the software in use to the latest version. Make sure the computer is connected to the internet during the update.

• It is normal for the product to reboot when updating the firmware. Wait patiently for the firmware update to complete.

• DO NOT unplug the USB-C cable during the update.

Follow these steps to update the firmware on your DJI D-RTK 3 AG:

1. Power on the device. Connect the device to a computer with a USB-C cable.

2. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and log in with an account.

3. Select the device and click Firmware Update on the left side of the screen.

4. Select the firmware version and click to update. The firmware will be downloaded and updated automatically.

5. When the “Update successful” prompt appears, the update is completed, and the device will restart automatically.

Users can use DJI Assistant 2 to export the log from the DJI D-RTK 3 AG.

For proper storage of your DJI D-RTK 3 AG, follow these guidelines:

• It is recommended to store the product in an environment at a temperature range from -5° to 30° C (23° to 86° F) when storing for more than three months. Store the product with a power level between 30% to 50%.

• The battery enters hibernation mode if depleted and stored for an extended period. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation.

• Fully charge the product at least every three to six months to maintain battery health. Otherwise, the battery may be over-discharged and cause irreparable damage to the battery cell.

• DO NOT leave the product near heat sources such as a furnace or heater, under direct sunlight, or inside a vehicle in hot weather.

• Make sure to store the product in a dry environment. DO NOT disassemble the antenna during storage. Make sure that the ports are covered properly.

• DO NOT disassemble the product in any way, or the battery may leak, catch fire, or explode.

Make sure to replace a damaged antenna in a timely manner. When replacing the antenna, follow these steps:

1. Make sure to put the rubber sleeve on the antenna connector before installing the new antenna onto the product.

2. It is recommended to use a 13 mm tool that meets the requirements for disassembly and assembly.

3. Tighten the antenna to the specified torque of 15 kgf·cm during installation.
