Sales version, DJI GEO guidance, manufacturer support and local operating rules are separate questions. Begin with the exact kit and written records; do not infer one conclusion from an account, a map notice or a seller label.

Why should Global or Universal, China-domestic, GEO and local rules stay distinct?
A Global or Universal sales record describes an offered configuration. A China-domestic sales record should be supported by written seller and manufacturer evidence for the intended destination. DJI GEO is separate location-related product guidance, while local rules remain a separate current authority and site question. For ordinary consumer models, this is usually a supply-evidence review rather than a reason to assume a conversion path. Enterprise systems may involve different configuration or support records, so identify the exact system before asking for support.
How should a team turn the review into an action plan?
Action
What to retain
1. Identify the offered kit
Keep aircraft, controller, batteries, accessories, serial, condition record and seller identity together.
2. Preserve the sales-version record
Retain invoice, seller statement and supplied product documentation for the exact unit.
3. Separate location guidance
Review current DJI GEO guidance as a location question, not as evidence of the supplied sales version.
4. Use current support
Ask the manufacturer support route about the precise unit and stated issue, then keep the response.
5. Confirm local use separately
Use the current local route for the intended location and project before operating.
