The Mavic Air manual version 1.2 is now available on the Mavic Air downloads page.

A comparison between the previous manual and this new manual can be viewed here.

Thanks for the side by side comparison!!

Not many changes. Most grammatical corrections.

That PDF comparison tool is really cool - I've never seen that before. I'm surprised though that it doesn't have a button that takes you to the next/previous difference.

I am very impressed with the quality of the English in the DJI documents. It is really refreshing for a Chinese made product.

That would be a nice feature.

If you didn't already notice, you can click on the colored blocks in the middle bar to jump to the changes.

I did see that and it helps, but not as convenient as a button.

Most definitely not.

Sure appreciate your effort msinger..

Any reason why this wouldn't be a printable file?

msinger · Feb 15, 2018

Nope. You can definitely print the manual after you download the PDF file here.

still not printable, even after download, security settings, not allowed to edit copy or print.

That sounds like an issue with the application you're using to view PDFs. I was able to print it with Foxit Reader.

well, usually using Adobe Acrobat Reader to open pdfs. Installed Foxit, still not able to print. Not a big deal, can read it on my laptop. But why they protected it from printing?

Not sure. I'm able to print it from anywhere (Foxit, Firefox, Chrome, etc.).

Thanks for the information

What do you see in Foxit when you attempt to print?

in menu File the Print option is greyout.
just checked ver.1.0 and printing is permitted, I think they just forgot to unmark print option when they prepared this pdf.

Ah, I see what happened now...

When I created this thread, I downloaded and stored a copy of the manual on my computer. For some reason, DJI modified the manual and uploaded it again. The current version is not printable. You can download the original printable version here.
