How do I know if my remote is linked with the Mavic Pro aircraft?

The main symptom of an unlinked remote controller or mobile device is the flashing yellow light at the back of the craft.

What should I do before attempting to link the remote control to the aircraft?

1. Ensure that all your devices are fully charged.
2. Release the small flap on top of the Mavic’s remote controller and ensure that the mode is set to RC, not WiFi.
3. Ensure your mobile device is fully charged.

You shouldn’t need to do anything else in preparation for linking your remote control and the aircraft.
