## 1.1 Built-in Flight Control System Instructions The built-in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft's functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards), Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller contains the HC (Main Controller), IHU, GPS, compass, receiver. The IHU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate_the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote controller and the HC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modules together. The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant, by choosing Naza-H mode or Phantom 2 mode.

This manual is for Phantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza-IVI V2 Quick Start Manual for more information. 

## 1.2 Connections with Other DJI Products PHANTOM 2 is compatible with other DJI products, including ZENHUSE H3-2D and H3-3D gimbal 1

### ( 5 ) To improve the compatibility with ZENtv1USE gimbals, the latest factory deliveries of PHANTOM 2 has updated to the Version 2 shown below. H3-2D/H3-3D gimbal can be directly installed for the Version 2 while for Version 1, a H3-3D adapter kit (coming soon) is required to install the H3-3D gimbal.

Toggle the S1 switch from position-1 to position-3 and back to position-1 at least 5 times, which will force the aircraft to enter into compass calibration mode. Users can configure position 3(bottom position)..of the S1 switch to trigger the Failsafe in the Assistant..

S2 is the IOC mode switch. IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control) function can be enabled in the Assistant when in Naza-M mode. Only use the IOC function after you are familiar with flying.

### 2. The battery should be charged in an environment that is between 

### 0°( to 

### 40°(, and be discharged in an
"' ·.; .·i-. 

### environment that is between 

### -20°( to 

### 50°C. Both charging and discharging should be in an 'environment where the relative humidity is lower than

### 20 charge/discharge cycles. ; ' 

### . . 

### Users should discharge the battery until there is less than 

### 8% power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Users should then fully recharge the battery to maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will ensure the battery is working at its optimal level. 

### 4. For long term storage please place the battery with only a 

### 40-50% capacity in a strong battery box securely. We recommend discharging and charging the battery completely once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. The capacity should be varied in such a cycle

### (40%-50%).:_0%~1,9Q%-(40%-50%). 5. It's suggested you purchase a new battery after you have discharged your current battery over 

### 300 times. Please completely discharge a battery prior to disposal. 6. It's suggested thatyou purchase a new battery if the current battery is swollen or damaged in any way. 7. Never try to recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen .or damaged in any way: 8. Never charge the battery unattended. Always charge the battery on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and never near any flammable materials. 9. Safety is extremely important and users can get more**i~for,mation**

# 5 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures prior to the first flight. The compass is very sensitive to elec,trom.agnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poor flight performance or even flight**failure~** Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal leveL 

### 5.1 Calibration Warnings ( 1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground. 

# 0 ( 2) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. ( 3) Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will work abnormally. 

### 5.2 Calibration Procedures Please carry out the calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM 2 for more compass calibration details.
