### 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 MC (Main Controller), IMU, GPS, compass, receiver. The IMU (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 airerafts 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 MC 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-M mode or Phantom 2 mode. 

# ·'f· This manual is for Phantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza-M V2 Quick Start Manual for more information. 

### 1.2 Connectionswith Other DJI Products PHANTOM 2 is compatible with other DJI products, including ZENMUSE H3-2D and H3-3D gimbal , iOSD mini , iOSD Mark II.

• • I**L:---~**Important Notes of Using with Other DJI Products ( 1 ) The video cable can provide power for the wireless video transmission module with a battery voltage (11.1V-12.6V) and a maximum current 2A. ( 2) Make sure the working current of the wireless video transmission module you connect can work with an operational voltage between 11.1V-12.6V and the total working current of the iOSD and wireless video transmission module is under 2A, as an overcurrent will damage the central board's components. If the total currentexceeds 2A, please be sure to provide power supplied from a separate power source for the wireless video transmission module. ( 3 ) PHANTOM 2 uses a 2.4GHz RC system. To avoid communication interference, it's not recommended to use other 2.4GHz devices (including 2.4G Wi-Fi or 2.4G wireless video transmission module) except the 2.4G Bluetooth and 2.4G Datalink. ( 4) Be sure to keep the wireless video transmission module and other communicating devices away from the compass during installation and connection to avoid interference. ( 5) To improve the compatibility with ZENMUSE 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.

Figure l-4 ( 6 ) When using the H3-3D gimbal, please connect the 8-Pin cable of PHANTOM 2 to the G8 port of H3-3D shown below.

# t 5 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Makesure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures priortothe firstflight. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poorflight performance or even flight failure. Regularcalibration ofthe compass enables thecompass 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; otherwisethe flight control systemwill work abnormally. 

### 5.2 Calibration Procedures Please carry outthe calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quick startvideo of the PHANTOM 2 for more compasscalibration details. Quicklyflip theswitch Sl

## 6 Flight 6.1 Flying Environment Requirements ( 1) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.). ( 2 ) DO NOTfly in bad weather, such as rain orwind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. ( 3 ) The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass. 

# A ( 4) Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. ( 5) Try to avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment (No base stations orcell towers around). ( 6) The flight control system will notwork properlyatthe South Pole orNorth Pole. ( 7) Never use the aircraft in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic lays and regulations. 

### 6.2Starting the Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push the sticks according to one of the options below to start motors. Once the motors have started, release both sticks simultaneously. The same CSC is used to stop the motors.



## A 

## B 

# c D Figure 6-1 

### _6.3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures

l. Startby placing the PHANTOM 2 onthe ground with the battery level indicators facing you. 2. Turn on the remote controller. 3. Poweron the aircraftby turning on the intelligent battery. 4. When LED flight indicator blinks green/yellow, the PHANTOM 2 is entering Ready to Fly/Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. Startthe motors with the CSC command. 5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to <Remote Controller Operation> for more details. 6. Be sure you are hovering overa level surface. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stickwill lock into ©2013-2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.241placeand the aircraftwill descend steadily. 7. After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3 to 5 seconds to stop the motors. Return throttle stick to middleposition afterthe motors have stopped. 

# 0 You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to descend rapidly and dropwithoutany typeofcontrol. ( l ) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into Failsafe mode, referto <Failsafe Function> for details. ( 2 ) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Referto the <Low BatteryCapacityWarning Function>for details. ( 3) Watch thequick startvideo aboutflight for more flight information.



# ~ ( 4) Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. ( 5) When used with a H3-3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 2 propellerguardsatthis weight. Otherwise, the aircraftwill be unable to fly normally. 

## 6.4 Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following situations would make the aircraftfail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode: ( l ) The remote controller is powered off. ( 2) The remote controller is powered on but the Sl is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant). ( 3) The aircrafthasflown outofthe effective communication range ofthe remote controller. ( 4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. ( 5) There is interference causing a signal problemwith the remote controller. Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode.

## IHomePoint When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift offonly after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being ableto fly backto homepoint successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated. Go Home Procedures

### (l) In a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically. 

### ( 2) When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft's position and altitude if the remote controller signal is recovered. In Phantom 2 mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in "Ready to fly" status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the 52 switch of the remote controllerfrom uppermostto lower mostpositions 5 times or more will resetthecurrent aircraft position as a new home pointof PHANTOM 2.

### 6.5 Low Battery CapacityWarning Function The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly backand land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 has two levels oflow battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the second appears when it has less than 15%power. 

### ( 1) When battery powerdrops below 30% and LED indicatorwill blink red slowly. ( 2 ) At lower than 15% the LED indicator will blink red rapidly, the PHANTOM 2 will also begin to descend and

land automatically. Afterit has landed, keepthe throttle stick at its lowestpointorexecute CSC. ( 3 ) 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 threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained ifnecessaryby pushing up on thethrottle stick. ( 1 ) Rememberto fly yourPHANTOM 2 back as soon as you see a low battery capacitywarning. 

# A ( 2 ) Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may cause a communication failure. 

### 6.6 Flight Limits Function All UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and per country airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance limits. In Ready to Fly status, height, distance limits works together to restrict the flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) status, only height limit works and theflying height restricted to be notover 120m. (1) The default parameters in the Assistant is compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. {Refer to Airspace Classification to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure the parameters to comply with these rules too, before using the PHANTOM 2. (2) Users in Mainland China can refer to
