I don't think you understand the problem here. If DJI allow users to disable the low battery function there is a very big risk that users may get distracted when flying and not fly their bird home in time, therefore resulting in losing their drone, or even worse, crashing when landing due to being out of battery. DJI do not want to be sued by some user if their drone crash or get lost due to low battery and the user not being aware of this huge risk.

1 Before you post anything anymore here make yourself known. Update yourself with a decent picture of your face is the least ! See at 5.
2 Hundreds of people want the option to be able to turnoff the beeper. Based on your "knowledge" you declare them all crazy and earplug-ready. And you are the only one "understanding". You simply ignore all I wrote, don't have facts but a lot off feelings instead.
3 As I wrote before RTH always starts AuToMaTiCaLlY. You (you) can ignore it by closing your eyes. But the software wiil start rth. After which you could stop that. Do That and be happy !
4 A manual is a manual and reflects an as-is situation. No more, no less. Ever noticed manuals are updated ? Guess why ... Could (also) have something to do with learning-by-doing.
5 I analyse hereby that you are not a neutral person but are related in some special way to dji. You on your own blow up this whole post.

6 I have 40 years of hardware and software experience in the IA and PLC business (google that to find out about "critical"). And in ict. There is no reason to not have that button. I ask for an on/off button, how can you possibly want to forbid that ???
7 Have you ever noticed one Can Not  sue Dji ??? Then they log all you (you) do and selected so ... I mean remote, at there servers.
8 Have you ever flown other branded drones ? I don't think so since many of them don't beep at all. Why should they ??? And those that use only the phone can not prevent anyone lowering the volume of the beeper (if any). According your own story I tip you to buy them, loose them and then Sue Them !

Either you are deaf or mean that extremely sarcastic or you think people are really so stupid that they fly without worry when the battery is only 20, 10 or 5%. You don't look at the sky for the entire flight, but often look at the display and see the warnings.

An Update guys, direct from DJI Customer Support after I contacted them with my serious concerns that the low battery beeping feature may be disabled. I am very relieved, and happy to say, DJI Customer Service Support have confirmed to me in a telephone call that their DJI software engineers will NOT be disabling, removing, or lowering the volume of the low battery beeping feature of the DJI Fly app any time in the future due to safety concerns. I am VERY happy to hear this and I know other flyers will too. It is a very useful and neat feature in my opinion, and also very critical to safe flights.


If any of you (such as user Winifred5719) disagree and are not happy with this very welcome decision from DJI engineers, may I suggest you buy yourself a pair of earplugs to use when flying if for some reason the beeping bothers you.

After all the rubish you posted you have no credit anymore at all. Call dji once more and tell them to post that decision by themselfs. Only then would those words be of any value.

In the meantime you could use your phone plus earplugs to play ie "Groundcontrol to Major Tom" followed by ie "We could be heroes just for one day". Tip : put it on repeat while rth manually.

I am not sure why you are getting so emotional Winifred and lashing out. I truly hope you are more calm when flying your Mini 2 as otherwise I can imagine you getting into a critical situation as you seem to be easily stress!

Just because you are not happy with what DJI have confirmed to me in that they will NOT be removing the low battery beeping safety feature at all,  does not mean you have to resort to personal insult! Have a good day and safe flight.

Once more I must disappoint you, so sorry. Then I am not at all emotional nor  lashed out. Tip : never let that happen to you concerning technical matters !  I am (used to be) an analytical software engineer and (but) have Not Read any decent analysis of you concerning any of my notes. Not One, just nothing. Your only reportoir actually is the "you have to listen to me" reply.

I must even disappoint you concerning earplugs. You might have missed it but I wrote several times being a fulltime bicylist for 4+ years now. And guess what ? They always have several sets of earplugs on hand. And guess why ? Tip : it is not because of drones (yet). I even have about 10 sets in total, being them quite hard to get anywhere while cycling.

Last but Not Least : you are the one insulting hundreds if others ! Not me.

Ok I apologise if my word seem like insult. This was not my intention. Let us just agree to disagree ok. I think we all get a little upset from time to time, especially in this crazy Covid world.

May I please suggest to you to try some deep breathing exercise when you get out of bed in the morning each day to help you remain calm, especially in high pressure situation like when flying your drone. Can be very beneficial to health, especially with thing like high blood pressure when you are able to relax your mind and not get too anxious when the low battery beeping start if it bother you too much. Anyways, hope you feel bit more relax now and safe flight, good day.

Isn't RTH only to be used in an emergency?  I fly home manually so not an issue.

No it is'nt Only to be used in ... RTH is a very handy auto-return-pilot. Which is also activated automatically in case of emergency. ARP comes in very handy if one is in an unfamiliar area. Or when in the dark. Please read all about that and more in this post from page 1 on before starting all over again.

I accept, done. Fyi : I am not anxious for whatever. But 2 months ago a man tried to get me arrested (he called the police, really) in Portimao for flying which to his opinion is always forbidden everywhere in Portugal. He was triggered by the loud beeper. And maybe by his wife. That is why I would like the softwarebutton. To be able to  agree or disagree on beeping per the situation.

I can understand someone lacking confidence wanting a beeper, to provide a false sense of security.  Happy flying!!

So thats the point of this topic: we need the Support to be convinced. After work is done you can post the "Enable beeping" thread, but hope this will not happen as we want to have an option to mute the volume, and you could keep on disturbing your neighbors, if you wish.

I don't think you can force DJI to change the beep strength. There may be regulations behind this that dictate a certain level of the alarm tone. Well, you can make the modification yourself. This option is for determined people who have no choice but to do. Therefore, a constant pressure should be exerted on the buzzer diaphragm to silence it to the desired level. This can be done by opening the RC, which is not easy without the right tools. It is easier to make a hole in the housing under which there is a sounder and screw in a screw with a diameter of approx. 1.5 mm and length of approx. 8 mm. In this simple way you can significantly lower the dB level. Usually sealing with sound tape reduces the level by no more than 3dB, which is insufficient. The exact location of the 1.5mm hole can be seen in the photo. This way you can mute the buzzer to zero or set it to the desired level. Good luck.

Nice! The speaker is now screwed!

DJI please add a function to remove beeping while RTH.

99% of your customers would like that, the other 1% is trying to draw attention being "the different opinion guy". There is absolutely no reason to keep beeping and beeping and beeping all the way until you land.

Thank you.

Please give us the option of no beeper.
Also, let all users have the ability to choose whether they want to charge their mobile device during use, why only apple?

The more I deal with DJI, I realize they do not care, well, unless you pay for them to 'dji care'.
They can be as lazy and inept as they want to be, because their engineers make cool toys.

Kudos to the guy that posted the manual way to screw it!  I usually fly back to my starting point manually so this is not an issue to me, but, what's more concerning is dji's responses hiding behind safety instead of working to satisfy every customers wants and needs.  


Here's a solution to satisfy pilots attention requirement & silencing the beeper.
Have a button the pilot must hold down in order to disable the beeper.  (could be function button custom setting)

If they are holding down the button, then they realize what they are doing during RTH, and you cannot be held liable for that RTH.

SOLUTION 2 - put the beeping on the aircraft, as that is the dangerous end of the equation ... nobody is going to get cut by my remote controller.

If you have "Display flight tips On" Dji will present you flight tips during the rth procedure. It starts with " Bored ?". This means that Dji does not consider rth to be critical at all. It means the screen will be taken over by the tips-film !

Hi, Wilfried5719. Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, this option is currently not available. We do appreciate your feedback regarding this feature and we'll forward this feedback to our developers. After the evaluation of the engineers, significant suggestions or requests will be implemented via the firmware update, app update, etc. For any updates, please stay tuned to the latest news on our DJI official website at www.dji.com or by checking the Release Notes specific for the DJI Mini 2.

I would like this update as well, not just for the beeping but for the camera noise when a photo is taken as well, you should at least make it so you can turn down the volume of all noises to a level only the user can hear.

Who cares about attention if you are flying legally and responsibly?

The beeping is made by a fresh programmer who discovered he/she can make sounds! Incredibly childish!

The beep comes from the controller. The other sounds come from your phone. Just turn it down.

I think the camera shutter sound comes from your phone, doesn't it? Just turn down the volume on your phone.

Hello Dji,
The respons at this "Disable beeping" post is rather clear. The fast majority would like the Fly app to get a "Disable beeping" option.
However, Dji did not respond. Please let us all know about the decision of your engineering department !
Thanks.

..............

To all who always fly home manually and declare rth-users to be bad pilots : please have a look at these pictures. This was just a spot I camped, somewhere down there in that forest. You won't find home yourself at daylight and you won't find home yourself at nights. Unless you first start a smoking campfire (don't ...). Not even without drone (at nights).  However that superbeeper even warns people outside of that forest. Day and night.

Yes,Disable Beeping for RTH!!! For low Battery its ok

Wilfried5719 Posted at 6-11 13:03
Updating this beep should be very easy since it is software-controlled so adding 1 button in the app will do. I hope Dji realises how problematic this alarmsound actually is in daily practice ! It is always triggering lots of very wrong attention and (so) discussions with locals who however have no idea about (ie) the new european general arrangement on drones per jan 1st. There principle is "Local says No" and some even call the police !

Hey Wilfried, I am with you. But I think at least the functionality to lower the loudness would be a step in a good direction.

Duplicated by DJI

To me the constant beeping of the controller for no particular reason indicates a junior programmer who happily made his/her first sound on a computer and then got employed by DJI ...

It is not possible to program the buzzer volume by software due to its design. It is possible to turn off, for example, by touching the icon on the screen.

Is there really an icon on the screen ? You mean in the Fly-app, so on the phonescreen ? Is that icon then on the regular flyingscreen ? Or somewhere in the settings ?

No its not possible, i think a miscommunication has occurred.

DJI, this needs to be addressed, the beeping is far too LOUD  an option to turn it off by a screen press or one quick press of the RTH button, god sake, press anything for that matter, we do not need to be constantly made aware of said beeping even during a low battery, to be fair, its that one that I want the option to shut up, its not often I use RTH, heck, I don't care if you have to make it come back on after x amount of time and we have to acknowledge it to turn it off again, for the love of all things holy, do something, it is the worst and it will make me make the sugested modifications myself once my warranty has run out.

This is just my suggestion to the DJI development department on how to simply fix the problem.

T'was what i thought...

Unfortunately, it is really impossible to adjust the sound intensity in this case by software. An intermediary element in the form of a transistor would be needed. Besides, the buzzer could fake the sound. It is designed for a fixed parameter. The on / off operation mode remains, either the old, proven patent with a screw, or the pressure with a spring.
