Warnings
The rotating propellers can cause serious damage and injury. Fly with caution at all times.
Assembly Warnings
1. Ensure that all other parts are installed before inserting the Intelligent Flight Battery.
2. Use the extension rod to separate the GPS module from the center frame to avoid interference with
the power board.
3. Ensure the frame arms are mounted correctly.
4. It is recommended to use the 3° fasteners to secure the frame arms. If you use the 0° fasteners,
ensure that all four propeller rotation planes are perfectly horizontal after mounting.
5. Do NOT mix up the 0° fasteners and the 3° fasteners. Ensure the four fasteners in the outer arm
slots of the center frame are the same.
6. Do NOT remove any glued-in screws.
7. Screws with blue glue on their threads can be used without threadlocker for the rst time. After that,
apply a suitable amount of threadlocker to the thread.
Flight Warnings
1. The aircraft is not waterproof. Do NOT y in rainy or snowy weather.
2. Ensure that all parts are in good condition before each ight. Do NOT y with worn or damaged
parts.
3. Ensure that the cooling fan of the ight controller is in good condition and working properly before
each ight. If not, repair it immediately.
4. Ensure the propellers and motors are installed correctly before each ight.
5. Ensure that all cables are secure before each ight.
6. Maintain a safe distance from people, buildings, high voltage power lines, tall trees, water, and
other hazards when ying the aircraft.
7. Use only DJI TB47D/TB48D Intelligent Flight Batteries as the power supply.
8. Do NOT overload the system.
9. Do NOT go near or touch the motors or propellers when they are spinning, as this can cause
serious injury.

Product Prole
The DJI Matrice 100 is a stable, exible, and powerful ying platform. Its open platform and highly
customizable design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications in the areas of research,
business, and recreation.
The Matrice 100’s expandable center frame makes it easy to mount additional components and
devices to achieve greater functionality and results. An extra battery compartment for a second
Intelligent Flight Battery can be installed to deliver an extended ight time of up to 40 minutes.
Developers are granted full control over their ying platform with the built-in API Control feature, giving
them the freedom to customize a comprehensive aerial solution by using the DJI SDK.
Installation
Checking the Frame Arms
1. Ensure the motors are rmly attached to the frame arms, and can rotate freely.
2. Ensure the landing gear is rmly attached to the frame arms, and the antenna covers are in good
condition.
3. Ensure that all cables are intact.
4. Identify the marks M1, M2, M3, and M4 on the four frame arms.
Checking the Center Frame
To check the center frame and connect the cables, first remove the upper plate and the battery
compartment.
1. Remove the two screws (M3x8 self-tapping) on the Aircraft Status Indicator. Then gently remove

4. Now you may check the center frame. Check that components such as the ight controller and
ESCs are intact, and that the cables are connected to ports with matching color labels.
Mounting the Frame Arms
1. Identify the M1 - M4 marks on the frame arms and the arm slots of the center frame. Mount each
frame arm onto the corresponding position on the center frame.
2. Arm Fasteners are used to secure the frame arms. There are three types of fasteners that come
with the Matrice 100. The curved fasteners and the 3° fasteners are preinstalled on the arm slots.
2. Remove the eight screws (M2.5x8) on the mounting rails on the upper plate of the center frame.
Then remove the mounting rails and the upper plate.
3. Remove the four screws (M2.5x5) on the battery compartment. Then remove the battery

Curved Fastener: Fix on the inner arm slot.
0° Fastener: Fix on the outer arm slot so that the propeller rotation plane is perfectly horizontal.
3° Fastener: Fix on the outer arm slot so that the propeller rotation plane is at a 3° incline. It is
recommended to use the 3° fasteners for a better ight experience.
1) Loosen the four M2.5x5 screws on the curved fastener and the 3° fastener on each of the frame arms.
2) Insert each frame arm into the outer and inner arm slots successively until the clamp ring reaches
the outer arm slot.
3) Rotate the frame arm so that the n on the clamp ring ts perfectly into the slot of the 3° fastener.
Then tighten the four screws to x the curved fastener and the 3° fastener in place. Ensure the
arrow on the 3° fastener is pointing upwards.
If you choose to use the 0° fasteners, remove the 3° fasteners from the arm slots rst. Ensure
that all propeller rotation planes are perfectly horizontal after mounting the 0° fasteners.
Do NOT mix up the 0° fasteners and the 3° fasteners. Ensure that the four fasteners on the
outer arm slots are the same.

3. Connect the three motor cables of each motor (M1 - M4) to the ports of its corresponding ESC. Be
sure to match the color of the cables and ports.
4. Connect the LED cable of each frame arm to the port of its corresponding ESC.
6. Ensure the motor cables, LED cable, and antenna cable of each frame arm are correctly installed
to their corresponding ports.
Be sure to match the color of each motor cable with its corresponding port. Wrong connections
can cause the motor to rotate in the wrong direction.
After connecting the antenna cables, tighten the cable tie to prevent the cables from
coming loose.

Frame arms M1 and M2 form the front of the
aircraft, while frame arms M3 and M4 form its
rear. Seen from the top, motors on frame arms
M1 and M3 should rotate counter clockwise,
while motors on frame arms M2 and M4
should rotate clockwise.
