Remote Controller Setup and Network Connection

Your D313 remote controller is an Android-based device that needs proper network connectivity for full functionality. Here's how to set it up and maintain reliable connections.

Initial Remote Controller Setup

First Power-On: Press and hold the power button until the screen activates. The controller has a 20,000mAh internal battery providing 6-20 hours of operation time.

Antenna Positioning: Always position both antennas parallel to each other and vertically upward at 45-degree angles from the controller body. Never keep antennas parallel to the controller surface.

Firmware Updates: Before first flight, ensure both controller and aircraft firmware are updated to the latest versions through the DMRGCS app.

Network Connection Methods

The remote controller supports four connection methods:

5GHz WiFi Connection: The controller only supports 5GHz WiFi networks (not 2.4GHz). Connect through standard Android WiFi settings.

Ethernet Connection: Use the WAN port for direct wired internet connection, providing the most stable data link.

USB Cellular Modem: Connect a USB cellular modem through the OTG port for internet access in remote locations.

Bluetooth Tethering: Share internet from your smartphone via Bluetooth connection.

When Using with D313 Dock

If you're using the automatic airport dock:

  • Connect to the dock's WiFi hotspot, or
  • Use ethernet cable between controller WAN port and dock's LAN1 or LAN2 ports

Stick Mode Configuration

American Hand (Default): Left stick controls throttle/altitude and yaw rotation. Right stick controls pitch and roll movement.

Japanese Hand: Right stick controls throttle/altitude, left stick controls directional movement.

To change modes:

  1. Open DMRGCS app settings
  2. Select RC Settings
  3. Choose between American or Japanese hand configuration
  4. Confirm the change when prompted

Controller Maintenance

Charging: Use the USB-C port with QC3.0 compatible chargers. The controller is compatible with standard smartphone chargers.

Storage: Store in cool, dry conditions. The controller's battery should be recharged every few months if not used regularly.

Screen Protection: The built-in Android display is your primary interface - protect it from impacts and extreme temperatures.
