What the heck! Ive been able to take off and test my drone out front of my house for a while now. I have these screen shots. Can anyone explain this. When I try to click on the button to bypass it, it comes ups with a box that I cant put any information in...
Im a pilot and I fly out of Van Nuys and im way out of the no flight zone for that...
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you're within a restricted yellow zone. Try turning off the GEO fencing and see if it allows you to fly.

You might want to top off that battery before takeoff...

Before the update you could turn off the warning like Roadstar1700 said. not checked if you can now though. Might be worth a look in settings.

You will need to go to DJI.COM at the bottom of the page you will see geo fencing. Click that. Set up to unlock your area . you will need the serial no. of your RC to do this. Follow the instruction on that page and you will be good to go!.

Did you ever click 'yes' to the dialog box question (2nd image)?

Or is that what happened after clicking 'yes' in the 3rd image?

Ok once I turned off the GEO I was able to fly with no issues... In the future I will turn it on before flight to verify no issues in that area and if so I can always try the credit card verification. But I wasnt able to get that to work so the work around is turning it off.
