# 4 Preparing the Range Extender

The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz
frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device (Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission dista nce can reach up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the ran ge extender functions properly . O therwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2

VISION. Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the

back label as ‘Phantom_1xxxxx’ . T he ‘ xxxxx ’ represent s the last five letters or numbers of the MAC address for
the range extender.

# 10 Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedure s prior to the first flight.

The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which cause s abnormal compass data and lead s

to poor flight performance or even flight failure . Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level.



### 10.1 Calibration Warnings (1)

(2) (3) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there i s a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic

interference such as magnetite, parking structures
, and steel reinforcement under ground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materia ls with you during calibration such as keys or cell ul ar phones. Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly

.



### 10.2 Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM

2 VISION for more compass calibration details.



### 10.3 When Recalibration is Required (1) When Compass D ata is abnormal
, the LED flight indicator will blink alternating between red and yellow. (2) Last compass calibration was perfor med at a completely different flying field/location. (3) The mechanical structure of the aircraft has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass

. (4) E vident drifting occurs in flight , i.e. the aircraft doesn ’ t fly in straight lines.© 201 3 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.

. R efer to the < DJI VISION App Usage> for more details. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down on the throttle stick gently to de scend and land

. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 to 5

seconds which will automatically stop the motors.

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight ! This will stop the motors and cause
the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. (1)

(2)

(3) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight , the aircraft has entered in to
Failsafe mode , refer to <Failsafe Function> for details.

A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blink ing red slowly or rapidly during flight . R efer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information.



### 11.4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost . T he flight control
system will auto matically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage

. T he following situations w oul d make the aircraft fail to receiv e a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe

mode: (1) The remote controller is power ed off. (2) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. (3) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.

Failsafe works different ly depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it i s in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode

. Ready to Fly (non

- GPS)

---- Automatic l anding The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during de scent and landing. N ote that the aircraft may be drifting during d escent and landing process. Ready to Fly

---- Automatic g o h ome and land

T he flight control system will auto matically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.© 201 3 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved. 

### 32 | Home Point

When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. I t is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to h ome point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.



### Go Home P rocedures

Switching the S2 of remote controller from upper most position to its bottom most position will reset the home point of Phantom 2 Vision. Definition of “ home point ” is i) where the Phantom 2 Vision return to when control signal is lost ii) the home position which is used to calculate the horizontal distance between y ou and the aircraft which is displayed on your cell phone app. When the home point is set, you will see a very short period of fast green light flashing on the LED Flight Indicator.

### 11.5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function
The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 VISION has two

levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the

second when it has less than 15 %. When battery power drops below 30% an LED indicator will blink red slowly and an alert will show on the DJI

VISION app; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning>. At lower than 15 % the LED indicator will blink red rapidly and the DJI VISION app will sound an alarm; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning> . The PHANTOM 2 VISION will a lso begin to descend and land automatically. After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC; refer to <Starting the Motors>. If you push the throttle stick above the mid

- point, the PHANTOM 2 VISION will ascend slowly. Use t he throttle, pitch, roll and yaw sticks normally to find a more appropriate landing area if required.
There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshol d and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto

- landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling up on the throttle.)
