!n

a safe, responsible,

and smart

way.

To

do this,

it

is important

to understand

sorne

basic

flight guidelines,

both

for your protection

and

for

the safety

of those around

you. 1. Fly

in Open Areas:

Always

fly

in locations

that

are

free

and clear

of buildings,

trees. power

lines,

and other obstacles.

Do

not

fly above or near people

or animals. 2. Maintain

Control

at

AU Times:

Even

when

using

OJ! autopilot

functions

**sue!~**

as **Auto~Takcoff,** Auto-Landing,

and Auto-Return

to Home,

always

keep

your i1ands

on

the Remote Controller

and maintain

control

of your aircraft

when

it

ts

in flight. 3. Maintain

Line

of Sight:

Keep

your aircmft

in sight

at

an timf:..'S,

ar:-d avoid

flying bOOind buildings

or other obstacl3s

that rrny bbck

)OUT **v'eN~** .1. Monitor

Your Altitude:

For

the safety

of full-sized

aircraft

and other

air traffic,

always

fly

at altitudes

l-ess

than

400

feet

{120 meters) above ground

level,

or

ill line with

your

local

**!a~~v-s**

and regulations. Visit **http://flysafe.dji.com/no~fly**

for more Information

on critical

safety features

such

as **No·F~;**

Zones. • Calibrating

the Compass: 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

in

P Mode

or use GPS

at polar latitudes.

Only

A TTl Mode
