Make sure to calibrate the compass at every rew flight location. The compass is very sensrtive to electromagnetic interference, which 

can cause abnonrel compass dn!a, leading to poor flight p.:;rlorma~ce or even failure. Regular cal;bratton is req;;ired for optimal 

performailce, 

1. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a cr.ar.ce of s!rong magnetic interferetJce, such as magnetite, parking structures, and 

steel reinforcements underground. 

2. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materh1fs witr. you during calibration such as keys or cellular p!>ones. 

3. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

4. If the Aircraft Status lridlcators are showing solid red, then try to calibrate agai0. If they are bHnkl11g red and ye!!ow alternately after 

placing tr.o aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected mag:tetic interference. Change your location. 

'" Environmental Considerations: 

i. Do not fly h severe weatt'er cor~ditior1s. This includes high wlrds (speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/s or more), snow, rain, and fog, 

2. Only ffy in open areas. Tat! buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and boc:Hes of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding arens vtith high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations, 

radio transmission lowers, or Wi~Fi hotspots. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors suc!1 as air density and temperature. Be very careful when 

flying 19,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea lever. as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efficie:1cy. 

6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only A TTl Mode and the V1sion Positioning 

system wi!! be operational. 

" PMode: 

In this mode, the Pha'1tom 3 Professional can use GPS and the VIsion 

Positioning system, allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors 

and out. When GPS is availab~, a Home Poir~t v~i!! be locked so that the 

Phar:tom 3 Professional ca'1 RetlJrn to Home if the Remote Controller 

signal is lost 

u ~ To enable P Mode, toggle !he Flight Mode Switch to the P posnion. 

There are three states in P mode: P~GPS: GPS works best when outdoors and in a wide open area. Your 

Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in ptace when there is a 

stror.g GPS signaL 

P*OPTI: If GPS is not ava~!.ab!e, the aircraft can use the VISion Positioning 

system to hover accurately, 

P*ATTI: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are available. 

Tne aircraft wiU only use its barometer for altitude ar.d other on-board 

sensors for attitude stabilization. 

Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when

4. Charging the Batteries 

• Only use the official DJI Phantom 3 Professional charger. Remove the Intelligent Flight Battery from the aircraft before 

charging. 

• It is recommended t11at you turn off the Intelligent Flight Battery or Remote Controller before cl1arging. 

• Connect the charger to a suitable power source (100-240V 50/60Hz). 

• Connect the charger to the Intelligent Flight Battery or Remote Controller. The LEDs will display the current charge level, 

and when fully charged, they will automatically turn off.

Remote Controller will be strongest within the 

range illustrated here. If the signal is weak, acljust 

the positions of the antennas and fly the aircraft 

closer to achieve optimal signal performance. 

(j) Press the button on the side of the Mobile 

Device Holder to release the clamp. 

Q) Place your mobile device into the clamp and 

adjust it so that the mobile device is 11eld 

securely in place. 

CD Connect your mobile device to the Remote 

Controller with a USB cable. Plug one end of 

the cable into your mobile device, and the 

other end into the USB port on the back of 

the Remote Controller. 

• To avoid signal interference, do not usc other 2.4GHz devices when flying. 

6. Flight Controls 

Here are the default fiight controls (Mode 2). The left stick controls altitude and rotation, while the right stick controls the 

forward, backward, left or right movements. The gimbal dial controls the camera's tilt.

® Connect your mobile device to t11e Remote Controller 

with a USB cable and launch the DJI GO app. Follow the 

instructions within the app. 

® In the app, tap 'Camera'. Ensure your Phantom 3 

Professional is ready to fly by completing the on--screen 

Checklist. Beginner Mode is enabled by default when 

you launch the DJI GO app for the first time. The 

aircratt's altitude and night distance are restricted when 

flying in Beginner Mode. You can disable Beginner 

Mode in the Settings Page of the DJI GO app. 

Qi Calibrate the compass by tapping the Aircraft Status 

Bar in the app and selecting 'Calibrate'. Then follow the 

on-screen instructions. 

® Attach the propellers with a black nut onto the motors with 

black dot and spin them counter-clockwise to secure. 

Attach the propellers with a grey nut onto the motors 

without black dot and spin them clockwise to secure. 

• Tighten the propellers with both hands before each flight. • !l you wish to record photos or videos, insert a Micro-SO card into the Camera's Micro-SO Card Slot • The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P Mode by dclault. Refer to the User Manual to learn how to unlock the switch and ctlange 

to other modes. 

• When not in P mode. the Phantom 3 Professional will only maintain altitude, not position, and wiU drift with wind or user input. 

Return to Home is not available in F mode. 

8. Flight 

Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in the DJI GO app 

indicates 'Safe toRy (GPS)' or 'Safe to fly (non-GPS)' if flying indoors. 

" Auto Takeoff and Landing: 

Your Phantom 3 Professional can automatically takecff and land at the tap of a button in the Camera screen of the DJI 

GOapp. 

Tap and slide to confirm automatic takeoff. 

The aircraft will automatically takeoff and 

hover at 4 feet (1.2 meters). 

Tap and slide to confirm automatic landing. 

The aircraft will automatically land. 
• Never stop the rnotors mid· flight, otherwise the aircraft win crash. Only slop the motors when on the ground or as reqUJred in 

emergency sl!uations to reduce rr.e risk of damage or rn:ury. 

• You cannot takeoff if the intelligent Flight Battery !s not sufficiently charged and tile Critical Low Gallery Warning is active. 

• The lntelligGnt night Battery must warm up lf the outside temperature is lo·.v. A warning wilf appear in the OJ! GO app in this scenario. 

• Once spinning, the rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not starl the motors when there are peop!e nearby and always fly 

in a wide-open area. 

• Power off your Phantom 3 Professional before &.vitclling off the Controller after landing. 

" Return to Home: 

1. Press and hold the Return to Home Button on your 

Remote Controller until the LED surrounding the button 

starts blinking white and starts beeping. Your Phantom 

3 Professional will return to the set Horne Point. Press 

the button once to stop the procedure. 

2. The DJI GO app will warn you if your Phantom 3 

Professional's battery level falls under a certain level. This 

warning threshold can be set in the app. The aircraft will 

land immediately if the battery power reaches a critical 

level and the Critical Low Battery Level Warning appears.
