Hello all,
just purchased a mavic air. I can't get it to connect in any way. As soon as turning on the aircraft the function button flashes constant, rapid green and pressing it will not beep for connection. Have tried with two different batteries.

Ideas are appreciated as the DJI online support person seems to have forgotten we have a conversation going.

The drone function button never flashes yellow.

The Function button will not beep no matter how long it's pressed.

It will not connect to remote or phone.

Can you please try to update the firmware of the aircraft using the DJI Assistant 2? Kindly see the video tutorial below for reference. After that, try to re-link your remote controller again. Thanks.

I can not put the drone in pairing mode. I press the function button and nothing happens. No beep is emitted. I've held for more than 1 minute. I have already updated and restored factory defaults. can you help me?

Hello,
Newly purchased Mavic Air.
Same problem, function button will not illuminate or do anything, tried all 3 batteries.
What is the solution?
Is the Mavic Air defective?  Do I return it to Amazon?

Thanks for your reply,
I found the fix, that the battery button must be pressed twice,
having not found that specifically in the documentation.

I have the same problem like everybody else here, for almost a week.
WHY THERE IS NO PUBLIC solution for this?
Why you are bull...ting?
Is it broken? We have to send it back? Or what?
What kind of customer service you have here?

Not sure I follow, can you please expand?  

To turn the aircraft on, you must push the power button twice (one short push, one long push).

Is there a step requiring additional pushes of the power button to complete pairing with the remote once the aircraft is already powered on?

Having same issue. I power on Mavic Air. It starts the testing process and makes start up beep. Then it will start blinking green, red and yellow back to green over and over. Holding function button does nothing. See my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lavfOAEwAio

Also, when I plug the USB cable into any computer, the computer cannot recognize the drone. DJI Assistant cant see the drone because the computer cannot see drone. The computer makes a noise as if I plugged something in, but then it makes a noise as if I unplugged the USB cable. Very frustrating.
DJI needs to help!!!!

Hi all,

I just turned on my Mavic Air after couple years resting in the closet.
I can't believe I have the same issues.
Impossible to connect to the remote whatever the way to do it. (drone function button doesn't beep to start the pairing with the remote)
Moreover impossible to connect to dji assistant 2 on windows 10 to update the firmware of the drone.

What is going on DJI?

You have to update us on the process.

Ok so I might have found the problem.
Everything got back to normal behavior when I removed the microSD card from the drone...

Awesome. We are glad you already got it to work. Removing the SD card is actually one of the ways to fix linking failure. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need further assistance. Have a great day ahead.
