DJI RTK 2 Base Station 1

To change the base mode of a DJI D-RTK2 base, do the following:

  1. Press the Mode button on the base for 2 seconds. The indicator light underneath it will change from green to yellow.
  2. Do a short press on the mode button to switch between modes. The current mode can be identified by the number of blinks the Mode indicator light does before taking a second to pause. When changing modes, expect a 2-second delay before the new mode activates, and the indicator light will turn from yellow to green.
  3. If no action is taken after long pressing the Mode button, then the base will just return to its original mode.
