# Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings Flight Modes [&WARNING) Toavoid serious injuryand propertydamage, observethefollowing rule: 1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with the aircraft's behaviorfor each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unableto land theaircraft safely. 

## [ NOTICE ] P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious when flying in A mode. 1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low lightenvironment. c) P-ATII: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. 3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar with IOCfunctions before use. If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to acceptthe prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI designated server.



### Failsafeand Return to Home

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional'sflight controller features several important upgrades, including a newflight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return ofyour aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The newflight controller also provides increased stability and a new air brakingfeature.



## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.

:\): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight mode ofthe aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEOs are shown in thefigure below:

Aircraft StatJs Indicator

The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) ofthe aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Referto the table belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail. 

### GPS

Home Point



## Smart RTH Description If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (**~.u** 

## ). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhenthe homepointis recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwi!\then automatically return tothe last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.



### 12Phantom3 Professional User Manual 

## Low Battery RTH The low battery level tailsate is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a pointthat may affectthe safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from the Home Point
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation duringthe landing process. 

### The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below:

## Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2) two ultrasonic sensors and [1) one monocular camera.



### 14Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

Followthe steps belowto useVision Positioning:

# ~ 1. Toggletheflight mode switch to P-mode. ,., I' 

### 2. Place the aircrafton a flat surface. Notethat the Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place. 

## ,6 The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwateror transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying overextremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfacesthat can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaceswith identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with the same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft.


### 15Phantom3 Professional User Manual 

# :t5: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affectthe effectiveness of the sensors. • Vision Positioning is onlyeffectivewhen the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying overwater. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of

# Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended thatyou use the flight simulator in the OJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.



## Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may 

### affectthe accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, highvoltage power lines, trees, and bodiesofwater. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature.Bevery careful when flying ataltitudes greaterthan 19, 685feet (6000 meters) above sea ::!:!

## Flight Limits and No-FlyZones All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide byall regulations setforth by government and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitudefrom exceeding 1640feet (500 m). 

### Maximum flight altitude & 

### Radius Limits Maximumflight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the OJI GO app. Be aware thatthe maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

How do I usethe Director automaticvideo editor? Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI GO app. After recording several video clips, simply tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately.
Howdo I changethe control modeof my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users.
Can I usea Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.
Can I usea Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Batterywith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and avoltage of 15.2V. My Phantom 3 does notturn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SO card. This helps prevent your data from .being lost or corrupted.
Do I haveto buythe Remote Controller separately? No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linked to the aircraft.
Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt atthe same time.
What does the "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controller do? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle differentflight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3 will attemptto stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC section in the Appendix of the User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes. 

### 50Phantom 3 Professional User Manual
What is the Phantom 3 flight time? Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged.
Howcan I restore a video file ifthe power is turned off during recording? Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the videofile is restored.
How can I ensurethat my pictures and videos will besynchronized to my iOS album? You may need to adjustthe settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacytab, select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the OJ! GO app icon. If the GO app has not been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized.
What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground. Why is the dischargetime of the battery not zero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the dischargetime is not zero. The battery is safe to use.
Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? No, it cannot.
How to safely operatetheaircraftwhen encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI GO app will display one of the following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraftto a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjustthe orientation of the aircraft in the midairto mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch backto P-GPS modewhen the automatic adjustment is completed.
Howto troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal. 

### 51 11 )>

### 0 Phantom 3 Professional User Manual
Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.
