Since this is my first drone, I really wanted to get a user manual but none was included and support apologized but could not
provide any help.

As a retired  Airline Captain, I guess i am spoiled from all the documentation I relied on for my former job. Since I will be using this under my Part 107
commercial certificate, I would hate to damage anyone's property.

The quick start guide did not have much detail. Can I use the Mavic Pro user manual for general information?

Thanks

The principles will be similar but some of the features in the drone are unique to the Air.

Its amazing that DJI doesn't provide a complete user manual for the MA, maybe they will upload one to the Download section of the website someday

I'm sure they will but this should have been ready the day they started taking orders.

Yes the lack of manual is quite surprising.
BUT they have a few video tutorials https://www.dji.com/mavic-air/info#video

The Mavic Air Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines has the important stuff, 24 pages, this and the quick start guide should be sufficient to know how to operate the Drone.

I think the important thing is to understand the functions of the DJI Go 4 app as well as the AC

We are sorry for the inconvenience, there is no paper manual on the package. We had forwarded the request for the manual released to our engineers. As for now, please refer to some of the tutorials on the forum or YouTube. Thank you for understanding.

I'm a Newbee to Drone Field (but, I used DJI Mavic Saprk of a Close Friend for a while), although in Photography, I have crossed 12,500,000 viewers in Google Maps (& From India). Could you please help me (Now, I own a Mavic Air) - Can I connect the Mobile PHONE to the MA REMOTE CONTROLLER thru Wifi - or it's only just Wired Connectivity? Thanks in advance

As far as I'm aware, via cable only.  Even if you could connect via wifi I would recommend wired anyway for reduced interference for better signal.
