I am new to drones. Have a new Phantom 4 Advanced with Remote controller Mdl GL 300G. Is there guide to the various abbreviations on the main fly screen? Is there a user manual on just the controller?
Also, when I am 20 minutes into flight simulator mode, the bottom of my controller gets very hot! is this normal?
Thanks to you all for any help.

Hi there, do you refer the GL 300E, the one with a built-in screen? If yes, please kindly find page 8 from the user manual: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/ ... _User_Manual_EN.pdf

As for the hot issue, what's the estimated temperature at that time? Please try to cool off for some time to see whether it works.

Thank you very much for your help.

The outside casing temp was approximately 112 degrees.
Additionally, I went over the owner's manual you kindly guided me to. It covers only the controller with DJI 4 go app and an external device.
It would be good if there was an owner's manual for the remote controller Mdl GL 300G with built in screen.
Thanks again

Where do you see that 'Mdl GL 300G', has it that stamped on the label below?

From the specs to judge Susan did post the right link, P4A seem to have 2 possible controllers, GL300C or GL300E, see the picture below. The manual Susan linked to cover the GL300E with builtin display from last third of page 8 and all page 9, then comes the GL300C on page 10-11.

What are you missing regarding the controller that is not shown there? - beside of cause all the things need to be known like the drag down to enable the network, enter the settings, take screenshots in order to get support with issues etc.

And yes also the GL300E (+RC) get really hot, that is normal but shouldn't be so i guess.

P4A RC spec

Thanks for your guidance and help. I mis-read the fine print.

As KedDK mentioned, the built-in screen manual has been included in the link above. As for the temperature, it is normal for the built-in screen, please let it cool down for some time.

Thank you Ms. Susan. I appreciate your help.
