==== 🔋 3. Firmware & Battery Dependencies (Important) ====

===== 🟡 Standard Battery (249 g) =====
'' With the standard battery only, Mini 4 Pro usually will ''not* broadcast Remote ID — DJI has limited activation to when the drone is above 250 g, which happens with a larger battery. hi-network.com<ref>{{cite web|title=hi-network.com|url=https://www.hi-network.com/are-dji-mini-drones-now-non-compliant-for-commercial-use-faq.html|publisher=hi-network.com|access-date=2025-12-15}}</ref>
* This means: - If you fly recreationally under 250 g and don’t need to register the drone, RID may not broadcast (and no in-app setting appears). - If you do need to be Remote ID compliant (commercial/registered flight in the US, or RID mandatory country), you may not be compliant flying just with the standard battery.

===== 🟢 Intelligent Flight Battery Plus =====
* If your Mini 4 Pro has the Plus battery installed, Remote ID will be activated automatically and will broadcast from takeoff to shutdown.

* In this case you don’t need to enable it manually — DJI handles it.
* The DJI Fly app will automatically perform the Remote ID self-test before takeoff and show the status if there’s a failure.

💡 Summary: DJI currently triggers Remote ID broadcast only when the Plus battery is in the aircraft. With just the standard battery, there’s generally no internal broadcast even if the hardware supports it.
