New MM - Which Serial Number to Use When?

[markp99]

Got my new MM the other day, looking to unlock a nearby zone using DJI's Custom Unlock. The app is asking for the "Flight Controller Serial Number".

Poking around settings and such, I see many serial numbers:

1. 1SZDLGxxx (marked on the box and battery door flap)

In settings, I also see:

2. 1SDKGCxxx (Flight Controller)
3. 1SRCGCxxx (Remote Control)
4. 1SFLGAFxxx (Camera SN)
5. 1U5X9Cxxx (Battery SN)

Are the Flight Controller SN and the SN on the Box/Door Flap supposed to match?

Should I be using the FC SN in this case (Custom Unlock)?

Thanks,

mark

Using the FC SN in the app settings worked for me. Never checked if it was the same on the box/door flap, though i assume it should be.

No, they are completely different things mate.

The Flight Controller is a module within the aircraft itself.

The serial number on the box is what you give your insurance company when it gets lost/stolen.

When it is asking for the FC serial number in the Fly app, it is actually shown in the left hand side little window, so you don't even have to choose from the different serial numbers on the right side.
It practically tells you which code to enter.

When I went to get Care Refresh the number in app didn't work. Number I scanned on battery door which matches box worked

wondering what this means exactly? Why are they different? What does that accomplish. I'm confused as to why there are two serial numbers on the aircraft. One in the battery compartment and then the FC SN. Any ideas anyone?
