### 5.4 Battery Level Indicator Built-in LiPo Battery: The remote controller includes a recharg eable LiPo battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. You can monitor the current battery level using the LED indicators on the front panel of the remote controller as the fi gure shown:

The remote controller will show a blinking LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.45V, then automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, the remote controller will automatically power off, causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to Failsafe Function (Page27) for details). It is strongly recommended that you recharge the battery immediately when the 3.45V-3.5V low voltage warning occurs. 

### 5.5 Antenna Orientation Keep the antennas pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum remote controller range during flight. Battery Level Indicator

Remote Controller (Mode 2) Aircraft ( indicates nose direction) Operation details

Vertical movements on the left stick control elevation. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. When both sticks are centered the Phantom will hover in place. Push the throttle stick upward beyond the centered (neutral) position to take off. Push the throttle gently to prevent sudden and unexpected elevation. Horizontal movements on the left stick control the rudder. Push left to rotate counter clock-wise and right for clockwise. If the stick is centered, the Phantom will fly straight. The more the stick is moved, the faster the Phantom will rotate. Vertical movements on the right stick control forward and backward pitch. Push up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The Phantom will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight. Horizontal movements on the right stick control left and right pitch. Push left to fly left and right to fly right. The Phantom will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight.
Left Dial: Turn the dial to the right, and the camera will shift to point upwards.Turn the dial to the left, and the camera will shift to point downwards. The camera will keep its current position if the dial is static.

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 The S1 switch is used for compass calibration. Toggle the S1 from position 1 to position 3 and back approximately 5 times to enter into compass calibration mode. In Naza-M mode, the S1 switch is used to switch between control modes and enter compass calibration.

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 S2 is used to record a Home point manually. After a Home point has been recorded automatically, flipping S2 from position 1 to position 3 and back 5 times (or more) rapidly will move the Home point to the Phantom’s current location. In addition, you can enable Dynamic Home Point feature in DJI VISION App. In Naza-M working mode, S2 is be used for IOC. For maximum range and reliability, Remote Controller antenna should point skywards with no obstructions between it and the Phantom. Obstacles may cause Return to Home to trigger. Phone Holder and Range Extender should not block the antenna. Figure 25© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

### 5.8 Compliance Version Configuration As power levels vary between regulators, the Phantom Remote Con troller’s power output can be adjusted by twisting the CE/FCC Control Knob (Figure 27) on the back of the Remote Contr oller using a flathead screwdriver. For CE compliance, set the Remote Controller to CE with a full counterclockwise turn. For FCC compliance, set the Remote Controller to FCC with a full clockwise turn. Be sure to follow relevant local regulations. Compliance can be configured using the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Sel ect CE compliance version in Assistant to set it, or do the same with FCC compliance version. 

### 5.7 Linking the Remote Controller and Receiver
A 5.8G receiver is built in to the Phantom 2 Vision+. Its link button and indicator are located on the underside of the phantom, as shown in Figure 26. The Remote Controller and the receiver are paired before delivery. Only use this button if you have replaced your Remote Controller or receiver.

Turn the CE/FCC Control Knob gently to avoid damage. CE compliant devices have an effective remote controller range of 400 meters in open spaces due to power limitations. FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 800 meters in open spaces. Watch your flight distance as the Phantom 2 Vision+ will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond the relevant range limits. Always follow local laws and regulations. It is recommended to use a Φ2.4mm flathead screwdriver for adjustments. There is another potentiometer for reserved use. CE FCC Figure 26 Link Button & Link Indicator In ‘Ready to Fly’ mode, the Phantom will hover when all sticks are released. In ‘Ready to Fly (non-GPS)’ the Phantom will lock its altitude but will not have horizontal positioning.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may aff ect the accuracy of the onboard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage powe r lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. (4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers. (5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. (6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local law s and regulations. 

### Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. (5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary. (8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

### 1 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performanc e.

DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibrati on such as keys or cellular phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.



### 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more details.

Position-1->Position-3->Position1 Flip 5 times or above, or tap "Compass Calibration" i n DJI VISION APPCalibrating the Compass

Re-calibrate

### 26 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App’s camera page. It will disappear after successful calibration. 

### 1.2 When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator wil l blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight. (3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed m ounting position of the compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in st raight lines. 

### 2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simul taneously.



### 2.2 Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. Figure 49

Figure 50 Figure 51 [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the moto rs and cause the aircraft to drop without control. Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock.


### 3 Flight Test 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery ind icators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Sma rt Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphon e then enter the camera preview page. (4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more care ful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. (7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. (8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controlle r.Starting/Stopping the Motors / Flight Test
