I guess you are using an iOS device. Try to press the power button and hold it down till you hear 3 beeps. That should put your spark on the 2.4GHZ and should stay likewise till you turn off the drone.

It's exactly the same in Euro price 599 and 799 Euros. That's why i cancelled my order at DJI and ordered it locally way cheaper, with 2 year warranty and got it delivered 2 days prior official DJI Lauch. Go figure out...
If you want to go up in the sky and fly grab a spark, waiting for the Mavic Pro 2 to appear could be longer as expected as they have a killer drone and still didn't exploit it at the full possibility in terms of revenue
