2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

(1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge Lhe battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on. then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges- (40%-50%)--0%-100%--{40%-50%). 

(4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. (7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

:\): Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on unlil there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

4 Fa:iJsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

rn Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Tum on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

( 1) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes.

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will tail to start when you execute the 

CSC and the Phantom will not take oft. The below are some possible fixes tor this. 

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

to re-record Lhe mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant lo perform a Remote Controller calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks 

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-R ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Tum off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and 

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you 

are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-R connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-R networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1 080i60 video tiles.

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-R Extender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-R connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-R setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Sarnsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.1 0 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the rirst mobile device lhen turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower lhan 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJJ Vision App in ground station mode? 

If OJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If OJJ Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft retums home point automatically.
