The DJI Mavic 3 Thermal drone has a signal light, but how can it be switched on or off? There is no info in the german manual how to do that.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the navigation beacon or the Aux LED but both can be controlled here:

Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out. May I confirm which LED light would you like to turn off?

Sorry, I'm talking about the auxiliary light. And i found the setting. Thank you @Johnnokomis.

At the M2EA drone it was directly on the screen in the DJI Pilot app.


A lot of information are missing in the manual.

Hi, there. May we know if your question has been resolved? Please let us know if you have any questions.

The question has been resolved, but the manual should be extended.

I agree. We still can't even map an RC button to control this light. This is a flight safety concern since controlling it requires you to take all eyes off the drone and camera feed to fumble around Pilot 2's menu.

You can also control the signal lamp with the C1, C2 or 5D button. Simply click on the button assignment menu of the:  

remote controller Settings/Customize RC Buttons/ (eg. 5D Button UP) Navigation Beacon On/Off

You can then switch the signal lamp on and off again at any time without to jimp into the menu.

This is for controlling the beacon on top. There is no way to assign the bottom Aux light for some reason.

My mistake, got the question wrong

I am looking to map the bottom auxiliary landing LED to a button on the remote control. I can do that with my Air 2S but there is no option for it on the Mavic 3T. Yes, I know I can go deep into the LED menu to set it, but that is quite cumbersome. I often want to use that light as a signal to people on the ground, and would want to be able to map the on/off toggle to a button on the RC.

Auxiliary LED Control with RC Button

It'd be nice. DJI doesn't think the same though.
