5. Preparing the Remote Controller

Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position, and

then adjust the antennas as shown. The strength of the

Remote Controller's signal will fluctuate depending on the

positions of the antennas.

Strong Weak

The transmission signal between the aircraft and

Remote Controller will be strongest within the

range illustrated here. If the signal is weak, adjust

the positions of the antennas and fly the aircraft

closer to achieve optimal signal performance.

(D Press the button on the side of the Mobile

Device Holder to release the clamp.

(2) Place your mobile device into the clamp and

adjust it so that the mobile device is held

securely in place.

© Connect your mobile device to the Remote

Controller with a USB cable. Plug one end of

the cable into your mobile device, and the

other end into the USB port on the back of

the Remote Controller.

Slf

To avoid signal interference, do not use other 2.4GHz devices when flying.

6. Flight Controls

Here are the default flight controls (Mode 2). The left stick controls altitude and rotation, while the right stick controls the

forward, backward, left or right movements. The gimbal dial controls the camera's tilt.

Left Stick Right Stick Gimba! Dial

You can customize or change these controls through the DJI GO app.
7. Getting Ready for Takeoff

Remove the gimbal clamp as shown on the

right. Place your Phantom 3 Professional on a

flat surface, in an open space, with the nose

facing away from you. Then follow the steps

below in this order:

0 Toggle the Flight Mode Switch on your Remote Controller

to the right (P Mode). P Mode is Positioning Mode, A

Mode is ATT! Mode, and F Mode is Function Mode.

(D Turn on the Remote Controller by pressing the power

button once, releasing it, and then pressing and holding

for 2 seconds.

© Insert the Intelligent Flight Battery into your Phantom 3

Professional. Turn on the battery by pressing the power

button once, releasing it, and then pressing and holding

for 2 seconds.

© Ensure the LED on your Remote Controller is green,

indicating it is ready to be used.

(D Connect your mobile device to the Remote Controller

with a USB cable and launch the DJi GO app. Follow the

instructions within the app.

© In the app, tap 'Camera'. Ensure your Phantom 3

Professional is ready to fly by completing the on-screen

Checklist, Beginner Mode is enabled by default when

you launch the DJ! GO app for the first time. The

aircraft's altitude and flight distance are restricted when

flying in Beginner Mode. You can disable Beginner

Mode in the Settings Page of the DJI GO app.

© Calibrate the compass by tapping the Aircraft Status

Bar in the app and selecting 'Calibrate'. Then follow the

on-screen instructions.

(D Attach the propellers with a black nut onto the motors with

black dot and spin them counter-clockwise to secure.

Attach the propellers with a grey nut onto the motors

without black dot and spin them clockwise to secure.

• Tighten the propellers with both hands before each flight.

• If you wish to record photos or videos, insert a Micro-SD card into the Camera's Micro-SD Card Slot.

• The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P Mode by default. Refer to the User Manual to learn how to unlock the switch and change

to other modes.

• When not in P mode, the Phantom 3 Professional will only maintain altitude, not position, and will drift with wind or user input.

Return to Home is not available in F mode.

8. Flight

Safe to Fly ( GPS ) Before taking off, make sure the Aircraft Status Bar in the DJ! GO app

indicates 'Safe to Fly (GPS)' or 'Safe to fly (non-GPS)' if flying indoors.

Auto Takeoff and Landing:

Your Phantom 3 Professional can automatically takeoff and land at the tap of a button in the Camera screen of the DJI

GO app.

Tap and slide to confirm automatic takeoff.

The aircraft will automatically takeoff and

hover at 4 feet (1.2 meters).

Tap and slide to confirm automatic landing.

The aircraft will automatically land.
Manual Takeoff and Landing (Stick configurations are for MODE 2):

Start the motors by pulling both control sticks to the bottom

inside (or outside) corners. Release the sticks once the

motors start. Slowly push the left stick (throttle stick) up to

takeoff.

Start / Stop the motors Left stick up (Slowly)

To land, gently pull the left stick (throttle stick)

down to lower the aircraft until it touches the

ground. Then pull both sticks to the bottom inside

corners to stop the motors.

Left stick down (Slowly)

• Never stop the motors mid-flight, otherwise the aircraft will crash. Only stop the motors when on the ground or as required in

emergency situations to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

• You cannot takeoff if the Intelligent Flight Battery is not sufficiently charged and the Critical Low Battery Warning is active.

• The Intelligent Flight Battery must warm up if the outside temperature is low. A warning will appear in the DJI GO app in this scenario.

• Once spinning, the rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when there are people nearby and always fly

in a wide-open area.

• Power off your Phantom 3 Professional before switching off the Remote Controller after landing.

Return to Home:

Press and hold the Return to Home Button on your

Remote Controller until the LED surrounding the button

starts blinking white and starts beeping. Your Phantom

3 Professional will return to the set Home Point. Press

the button once to stop the procedure.

RTH Button The app's RTH Button

2. The DJI GO app will warn you if your Phantom 3

Professional's battery level falls under a certain level. This

warning threshold can be set in the app. The aircraft will

land immediately if the battery power reaches a critical

level and the Critical Low Battery Level Warning appears.

3. Failsafe: The Phantom 3 Professional will enter Return to

Home Mode if the signal to the Remote Controller is lost.

 While returning home, you can still control your Phantom 3

Professional's altitude to avoid any obstacles.
