Can anyone tell me what mode I would be in Australia flying the Mavic Air - FCC or CE?
I thought it was CE but when I look at my WiFi I have channels 1 - 11 (2.4ghz) and 4 - 5.8ghz channels.
Thoughts??

My MA purchased in New Zealand was on CE so I changed it.

I've seen a few YT vids on changing from CE to FCC, looks pretty easy!  How did you know yours was in CE mode?  I thought if you had numbers 1 to 11 WiFi channels it was in FCC and if you had 1 to 13 it was CE, (plus the higher numbers indicating 5.8ghz, which mine has 4 channels).  Mine has 1 to 11 out of the box but I get the range like it's in CE mode and from what I can tell on this forum if sold in Australia it is in CE mode.  
Can anyone confirm?
Cheers

Oz should be CE as that's seams to be DJI's fallback mode

Also, if I change from CE to FCC mode will I get the extra range set to auto in WiFi or do I need to manually change to a 5.8ghz channel?

Yes, however you'll need to check your local laws ;-)

No, you won’t need to change from auto

Hi, Thanks for the inquiry. Apparently, Australia is under CE and the remote controller will enable FCC or CE mode based on your location in accordance with local laws and regulations. May we have the screenshot on concern for further assistance? Thank you for the support.

Thanks DJI Tony,
I will try and get a screenshot over the next few days.  The main area of confusion was how I tell if it is in FCC or CE mode as I have the 1 to 11 channels and then 4 - 5.8ghz channels.  I was under the impression CE mode had the 1 to 13 - 2.8ghz channels?

Hi, Thanks for your response. You can provide us the screenshot first to determine if you're getting the right channel for CE mode. Thank you for the support.
