  6. Turn it off: When finished, press and hold the Power Button for 2 seconds to power down.

Getting Started with Dronetag RIDER​

To start live-viewing flights with the Dronetag RIDER, follow these steps:

1. Charge the device​

Before your first flight, give the RIDER a full charge using the included USB-C cable.
A full battery ensures smooth operation without interruptions.

2. Power it on​

Press and hold the Power Button to turn the RIDER on.
After a few seconds, the LEDs will light up to show status:

  • LINK – connection to the cloud or mobile device
  • GNSS – satellite positioning status
  • SCAN – readiness to detect Remote ID signals

3. Connect with your Dronetag account​

Pair the RIDER with the Dronetag App on your phone.
The app is available for iOS, Android, or as a Web App.

Download on the App Store Get it on Google Play Available as Web App
  • If you don’t have a Dronetag account yet, create one in the app or at dronetag.app/signup.
  • In the app, go to Profile → My Devices → Register new.
  • Select Dronetag RIDER and follow the instructions.
  • If registering in the Web App, you’ll need to enter the device serial number manually.

4. Activate the device​

When using the RIDER for the first time, you need to activate it. Activation is neccessary only when LTE connectivity is enabled.

To activate your device, perform one of the following steps:

  • Connect to the device via Bluetooth using the Dronetag App.
  • Or wait at least 10 minutes while the device is powered on. This works only if you have previously registered RIDER to your Dronetag account and have active subscription.

After activating the device, wait until the RIDER is connected to the network and has acquired GNSS fix.

You're ready when all leds turned green:

  • LINK = connected
  • GNSS = satellite fix acquired
  • SCAN = ready to detect Remote ID signals

5. Start scanning​

Once the LEDs are green, the RIDER begins detecting nearby Remote ID signals.

  • If Auto Scanning is enabled, it starts automatically.
  • If it’s disabled, press the Power Button once to start scanning.

All detections appear in real time in the Dronetag App.

6. Test before real use​

We recommend a quick table test to be sure everything works:

  • Turn on the RIDER following the steps above.
  • Place a Remote ID compliant drone nearby (or a Dronetag Beacon / Mini / BS).
  • Remember: drones only broadcast Remote ID once they take off.
  • Check in the app that the RIDER detects the device and shows live data.
warning

Avoid testing RIDER close to devices using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency. Examples of these devices are following:

  • drone controllers
  • mobile hotspots
  • wearables
  • modern in-car Wi-Fi systems such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Basically it is every smart device using wireless communication.
