Hello, I have recently purchased a Pahntom 3 SE, and have been having problems ever since I took the unit out of the box. I cannot seem to get a wifi signal from the remote that is visable on my smart phone device. The phantom 3 is registered and fresh out of the box... any assistance would be appreciated!!

I have to go, but if the small light is red,  then you need to link the RC and AC.  Instructions are in manual.  Good luck

I power on the remote control, and begin to look for the ssid in my network settings.  Nothing shows up...
initially,  upon first boot, i was able to connect to the remote via wifi, i installed the firmware recommended in the dji app, of which the remote may have been powered off mid update. do you think it may be improperly updated, and if there are any indicators of this?

It may not have installed correctly if the remote powered off in mid-update. But first you need to re-link the aircraft to the RC unit.

okay, how would i go about that?  i pressed the button on the drone and pulled the wheel left and toggled the left switch until a consistent beep occurred. i have not gone past this process, how long does it usually take to link?

The link button on the aircraft will turn green when it is linked, this should only taske a few seconds. If it has not linked properly, read the manual to make sure you are doing it properly and try again.

Hi there, just to verify, could you see the Phantom WiFi now? If not, please try to reset WiFi, then link RC to see whether it helps. Regarding the failed firmware update, please try again when you connected the APP and make sure the update is successful.
