Step-by-Step: Fixing Remote Beeping Problems

Updated: Aug 27, 2023

Has your DJI remote controller been beeping incessantly, causing you frustration and concern? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many drone owners have experienced this issue, but fortunately, there is a simple solution – remote controller calibration.


In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of fixing remote beeping problems on DJI drones, including DJI Air 2S, Mavic Air 2, and DJI Mini 2.


The calibration process is similar for all these models, and by following these instructions, you will be able to resolve the beeping issue and get back to flying seamlessly.



Why Does the Remote Controller Beep?


Before we go into the calibration process, it's essential to understand why your remote controller beeps in the first place. There can be several reasons for this issue, including:

  1. Stick Imbalance: If the sticks on your controller are not centered properly, it can trigger the beeping sound.

  2. Signal Interference: If there is interference from nearby electronic devices or obstacles, it can affect the communication between the remote controller and the drone, leading to beeping.

  3. Low Battery: When the battery level of your remote controller is low, it can activate the beeping sound as a warning to recharge.

  4. Software Glitch: In rare cases, a software glitch within the controller's firmware can cause it to beep continuously.

Now that you understand the potential causes let's dive into the step-by-step process of fixing the remote beeping problem.


Step 1: Check the Battery Level


The first thing you need to do is to ensure that the battery level of your remote controller is sufficient. To do this:

  1. Turn on your remote controller.

  2. Look for the battery icon on the controller's display screen.

  3. If the battery level is low, connect the controller to a power source using the charging cable, or replace the batteries if you are using disposable ones.

Once the battery is adequately charged, proceed to the next step.


Step 2: Stick Calibration


One of the most common causes of remote beeping problems is stick imbalance. To calibrate the sticks on your DJI drone's remote controller, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your drone and ensure it is connected to the controller.

  2. Hold both sticks at their lowest position, towards the center.

  3. While keeping the sticks at their lowest position, rotate them in a clockwise direction.

  4. Rotate the sticks in a full circle twice, ensuring smooth and even movements.

  5. Once you have completed the rotation, return the sticks to their centered position.

The stick calibration process should be performed carefully and without any sudden movements. Once completed, check if the beeping issue is resolved. If not, move on to the next step.


Step 3: Check for Signal Interference


Signal interference can disrupt the communication between your drone and the remote controller, causing it to beep. To minimize the chances of interference, follow these guidelines:

  1. Ensure that no electronic devices are placed near the drone or controller during flight.

  2. Choose an open area with minimal obstacles, such as tall buildings or trees, to maximize signal reception.

  3. Avoid flying in areas with heavy Wi-Fi or radio frequency congestion.

  4. Keep your drone's antennas and the remote controller's antenna in good condition, free from any damage or obstruction.

If signal interference was the cause of the beeping problem, following these guidelines should help resolve it. However, if the issue persists, proceed to the next step.


Step 4: Firmware Update


Sometimes, a software glitch within the controller's firmware can be the cause of the beeping problem. In such cases, updating the firmware can fix the issue. Follow these steps to update the firmware on your DJI drone:

  1. Connect your controller to a computer using the USB cable provided.

  2. Visit the official DJI website and download the latest firmware for your drone model.

  3. Install the DJI Assistant 2 software on your computer if you haven't done so already.

  4. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and connect your controller to the computer.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to update the firmware.

Make sure to follow the instructions accurately and do not interrupt the update process.


Conclusion


Remote controller beeping problems can be frustrating, but with the step-by-step process outlined in this blog post, you can easily fix the issue and get back to flying your DJI drone. By checking the battery level, calibrating the sticks, minimizing signal interference, and updating the firmware, you can ensure a seamless flying experience. Remember, this calibration process is suitable for DJI Air 2S, Mavic Air 2, DJI Mini 2, and other DJI drones with similar controller configurations.

Happy flying!
