As said, it should be green when its aligned with the drone, also the arrow should be pointing at the drone if the controller is pointing at the drone.
- make sure the DJI-RC or your phone/tablets compass is calibrated, I am NOT on about the drone's compass
- make sure the RC indicator on the Flight attitude radar is pointing at the drone when the RC is pointing at the drone, if its not, see #1
- make sure that the top (thats where the antennas are) of the RC is pointing at the drone
- the RC indicator on the Flight attitude radar will turn green when you have a good alignment, but that works only for the horizontal axis, for the vertical, try to imagine that there is a red laser dot coming from the top of the RC and point it at the drone.
- 1 major point to remember, when the drone is at 1500m and at 120m high, the drone is at only a 4 degree angle off the horizon
- do not have anything come in between the rc and the drone, e.g. trees, buildings etc
- 1 more note of interest, DJI's max range specs are based on no interference, which means you will achieve best results in a rural location, any houses along that way that have wifi can impede in your signal.
Following the above, there is no reason why you cannot achieve 5.5km in a rural setting or 1km or more in a non-industrial urban setting, industrial may reduce this distance further depending on their wifi setups or other broadcasts. Based on my true experience. With regards to rural, greenery and houses came in between the RC and Drone, so thats my max so far, YMMV.
Enabling FCC mode will only make a small difference in an urban setting, it will greatly help in a rural setting but there is no point if you only have the standard battery.
