Dragonfish Standard kits are normally paired with their supplied remote controller and base station before delivery. If the base station is not in use or the aircraft and remote controller have become unpaired, use Autel Voyager’s Datalink frequency matching procedure.[1]

Before you begin

Keep the aircraft and controller close during matching; Autel recommends no more than 5 metres. Avoid matching with other aircraft or controllers at the same time, and do not pair incompatible equipment.[2]

Follow these steps

Power on and open pairing
Turn on the aircraft and remote controller. In the Autel Voyager app camera or map view, open Settings > Remote Controller > Datalink frequency matching and follow the on-screen prompts.[1]
Put the aircraft into matching mode
Remove the smart battery from the aircraft’s rear battery compartment and briefly press the match button inside the compartment for one second.[1]
Start the connection
Tap Start Connection in the Datalink frequency matching pop-up. After successful matching, the match indicator flashes slowly.[1]
Reinstall the battery
Place the smart battery back in the rear battery compartment.[1]
