### Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera. Aircraft Using Vision Positioning [1] Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, I nspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available. **16** © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. [2] **INSPIRE 1**User Manual Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the figure to the right: 2
. P lace the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3
. P ow e r o n t h e I n s p i re 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Visi on Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. The performance of your Inspire 1’s Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be a ble to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. F l y i n g a t h i g h s p e e d s (ove r 8 m/s a t 2 m et e rs or over 4m/s at 1 meter). F l y i n g ove r wa t e r o r t ra n s p a re n t s u rfa c e s .

# Flight Once pre
- flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather c onditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on
- board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power line s, trees or bodies of water.
4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, i n c l u d i n g m o b i l e p h o n e b a s e s t a t i o n s o r ra d i o transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6
. T h e I n s p i re 1 c a nnot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode. 

### Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. A l l u n m a n n e d a e r i a l ve h i c l e ( U AV) o p e ra tors should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use th isproduct safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance

limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and dist ance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas Restricted areas incl ude airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly
- safe/category
- mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. Category A Safety Zone



### . (1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no
- fly zone” and a range of “restricted
- altitude zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no
- fly zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted
- altitude zone.



### . (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) aroun d a designated safety zone is a no
- fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented.



### . (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at 5 miles (8 km).



### . (4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Pilot App.

### Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is requ ired for optimum performance. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. D O N O T c a r ry fe r ro m a g n et i c m a t e r i a l s w i t h yo u d u r i n g c a l i b ra t ion such as keys or cellular phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap “MODE” in the app and select “Compass Calibration” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the o n - screen instructions. 2
. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a solid green light. **INSPIRE 1** User Manual Flight © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. **49 INSPIRE 1**  User Manual 3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward,

and rotate it 360 degrees around the centeraxis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red.
