# 6 Preparing the Range Extender

The Phantom 2 Vision + R ange E xtender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band . It is u sed to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the
Phantom 2 Vision + . In an open
, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 7 00 meters . This can be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the R ange E xtender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issue s between the mobile device

and the Phantom 2 Vi sion + may occur
. Each R ange E xtender has a unique MAC address and net work name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as ‘Phantom_ XXXXXX ’ . T he ‘ XXXXXX ’ represent s the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the
R ange E xtender . This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

# 3 Troubleshooting ( FAQ ) 3 .1 How to solve large margin (s) mid

- poi nt error ?

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid

- point margin of error is too big, the m otors will fail to start when you execute
the CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick position s (except the throttle stick) is not center ed when power ing on the
Phantom 2 Vision +

. S olution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at the ir mid

- point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2
Vision + to re

- record the mid

- point. (2) The R emote Control sticks have been trimmed , leading to a deviation in the mid

- point position

. S olution: U se Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. ( 1 ) Connect to Assi stant S oftware, tap Basic

- > R C

- > Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remot e Control sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. ( b ) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision +

. P ower cycling is required. ( c ) Re

- attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant.
I f the above solution s do not solve your issue , please send your Remote Control to DJI Customer service for repair. 

### 3 .2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a record ing session ?
S olution: K eep or place the Micro

- SD card back into t he camera . P ower cycle th e camera and wait about 30

seconds for the video file t o be restored. 

### 3. 3 Fail ure to acquire the SSID.
S olution: D ouble check whether both the camera and Range Extender are power ed on and the power switch of the

camera is switched to “ W i

- F i ON. ” 

### 3 .4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision + is out of sight and the Wi

- Fi connections is lost ?
S olution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back , descend , and land at the Home point. P lease 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 fail s all the time

. S olution: D ouble check the current Wi

- Fi connection status of the mobile device

. T he mobile devic e may be

connect ing to other Wi

- Fi networks after a connection break s with the Phantom 2 Vision +

. 

### 3 .6 Files fail to synchronize

. S olution: Video files that are too large (file size s close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device . S ome
mobile dev ices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files. 

### 3 .7 iOS A lbums fail to synchronize

. S olution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below . E nable the S ettings

- > Private

### 3 .9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision + 

### Wi

- Fi Extender.
S olution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi

- Fi 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

- Fi setting e nabled, e.g. Auto network switch or T est for Internet connection. If n o
Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision + creates a non

- routable connection it will drop the
Phantom 2 Vision + Wi

- Fi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung 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 th e Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored

### 3 .10 App tips for mobile devices.

I f us ing the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile devic e then tu rn it on on the second

one t o ensure normal functions on t he sec ond mobile device. 

### 3 .11 How to land the aircraft more smooth ly ? First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

### 3 .12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? A battery agin g 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.©2013DJI Innovations.

All Rights Reserved.4 |A3Linking the Transmitter and ReceiverThe linking of the transmitter to the receiver of the PHANTOM was carried out before they left the factory. Ifnecessary you can link the transmitter to the receiver as follows, for example you replace the transmitter. Thedefault receiver type is PPM.DO NOT use the PHANTOM transmitter (receiver) with the third party remote control equipment.1. Please remove the housing by referring to the section ofA8 Maintenance->Remove theHousing.2. Locate the receiver module according to the following figure.3. After powering on the aircraft and the transmitter, if the LED indicator of the receiver on the controlboard is lit solid red, this means the receiver currently has no connection with any transmitter.4.Press down the link button for more than two seconds until the LED indicator blinks, then release thebutton.5.Push the throttle stick to the lowest position and turn on the transmitter. Then if the LED indicator ofthe receiver turns off, the link between the transmitter and the receiver has succeeded. (Linkingoperation can be done only when the LED indicator of the transmitter changes to blinking red .)Note:If the transmitter can’t enter the linking mode, please check that the throttle stick lies in the lowestposition.You can use your R/C system normally only after the linking is done successfully.Receiver ModuleLink ButtonIndicator LED©2013DJI Innovations.

# What to Do & Not to Do First

- Never, Never, Never, start flying Right Ou t of the Box OR after a Firmware Update!!!

You WILL Crash, Hit Something, Hurt Someone or Hurt Yourself!! Too many times I’ve heard: “I just bought one, in 15 minutes I was flying and...crashing”. So PLEASE, people ! Did I say NEVER? I’m gonna say it again: N . E . V . E . R .!

- Start by reading the manuals. I know, it’s no fun but DO IT anyway, at least once...twice...and again!

- DJI Phantom Disclaimer - DJI Phantom Quick Start Guide - DJI Phantom User Manual - This Guide 

- Watch LOTS of Tutorials/Demos/How-to’s Videos. Peruse the Quad’s forums like Phantom Pilots , DJIGuys , RCgroups

and the new DJI forum . Familiarize yourself with the Vision assistant soft ware, the aircraft characteristics, the Naza-M and IOC. Learn as much as you can. Be careful, some tutorials are missing some important steps or doing things the wrong way (like calibrating near a car... come on tutorial makers!). Use your goo d judgment to make sure you understand what to do and when/where to do it.

- Write your contact information on your Phantom (in case you lose it). Also, it might be very helpful to label your Sticks\Switches. For already made stickers, have a look at this Phantom Identify Set

.
- Install the software from DJI Site/Apps St ore (Check How-to’s Videos for more info) 1- On your PC/MAC: - Drivers Assistant - Phantom RC Assistant - Phantom Vision Assistant 2- On your Smartphone: - DJI Vision App

- Follow ALL the instructions from the “What to do After any Software/Firmware Update OR After a Crash” section.

Here are some good tutorials to watch and learn from:

### Yo u are now ready, but please allow yourself some flight training before attempting more advanced or adventurous flight maneuvers. Start out in a wide open field, far from trees, buildings and power lines. Run through the DJI Pilot Training Guide and get all of the techniques down. The important part here is to learn what the sticks will do in every flying directions. After some good practice, turn on the Naza-M and IOC(Intelligent Orientation Control). This guide is assuming you already have switched your Phantom to Naza-M (don’t forget to also turn IOC on...) and have S1 bottom position set to FAILSAFE and NOT Manual.

Practice, Practice and Practice again! I like this quote from Gaelmart on why training is so essential:

“ When my “very expensive” Phantom is facing me and 1 foot from side impact with wall, I don't want to have to think about which way to put the control stick, I want training to take over. Yes anyone can fly the Phantom - it just requires practice. I've had it km out over mountains having a blast. That ain't the problem or why people smash 'em. It’s when it's 2 feet from your face and you panic... that's the problem .”

Good tip from FAQstech : “Before you ever even purchase a Phantom 2 as your first aerial vehicle, I’d suggest: Buy a cheap quad to learn on (and crash ). You’ll save yourself a considerable amount of m oney and still learn the basics of flight. If you get good at flying a cheap heli or quad, then flying the Phantom 2 should be a breeze with its stabilization and self-centering sticks. Just let go of the sticks and it should hover in place given a good GPS lock. Something like the Hubsan X4 H107L, the H107D or the Walkera QR Ladybird V2 is a good starter quad. I bought an X4 after I started flying the Phantom 2 to have something to fly in the house when there was bad weather in order to keep my hands on sticks. It’s a blast indoors and can even be flow outdoors in lite wind.”
In the same vein, have a look here: Don't Buy a DJI Phantom! - (before you watch this)

I also like this other quote found somewhere on the Net: “It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground!!”

Remember:

# What to do After any Software/Firmware Update OR After a Crash.

Don’t forget to ALWAYS Remove th e Propellers/Gimbal Clamp a nd Camera Lens Cap when using the assistants

. For obvious reason, make sure all your batteries are f ully charged before doing any firmware update.



## 1- Start Phantom RC Assistant Software: - Turn On Remote Control & Range Extender
- Connect Remote Cont rol to PC/MAC using USB cable. - Update Firmware as needed. - Calibrate the Sticks/Switches (follow on screen instructions). - Close the Software BEFORE disconnecting the USB cable.



## 2- Start Phantom Vision Assistant Software: - Turn On Remote Control & Range Extender - Turn On and Connect Phantom to PC/MAC using USB cable. - Update Firmware(s) as needed. - Here also you need to Calibrate the Remote Control sticks (follow on screen instructions). - Out the box, Calibrate the IMU. After an update, check the Status and Calibrate if necessary. It is recommended to always do the Advanced Calibration. It takes longer but it’s more thorough. Note: If you get the warning about IMU/Controller being too hot or the IMU Calibration seems to take forever or looks stalled: turn off the Phantom and wait until it has completely cooled down (20-30 min), then fire it up and immediately begin calibration when it is cool. If the Master Controller board = MC = Phantom is hot, it can throw out the IMU's sensors which cause issues with Calibration. Also, make sure the unit is level, that nothing ferromagnetic is in the vicinity and that there are no movements and/or vibrations during the calibration process. - Close the Software BEFORE disconnecting the USB cable.



## 3- Do the Compass Calibration. Check out the “Compass Calibration” Section for more details.

4- Power Cycle everything.

# Good to Know before you Go
Flight Control System

IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit

An inertial measurement unit, or IMU, is an electronic devi ce that measures and reports on a craft's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces, using a co mbination of accelerometers and gyrosc opes, sometimes also magnetometers. IMUs are typically used to maneuver aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The altitude part is the barometric altimeter that measures altitude based on air pressure. The IMU works by taking readings from ACCELEROMETER (this is movement in straight lines (forward, backward, side to side, and up and down ) and also takes readings from GYROSCOPE (spinning or rotating, and pitching movement ), and finally GPS (where the phantom a located in space) (latitude, longitude, altitude). 

# Some Specs (1m = 3.28084ft)

- Communication Distance (Open Area): Remote Control in CE/FCC mode: 400m / 800m / Range Extender: 500-700m - Vertical hover accuracy is +/- .8m (GPS/ATTI); Ho rizontal hover accuracy is +/- 2.5m (GPS only) - Max Ascent Speed: 6m/s - Max Descent Speed: 2m/s - Max Flight Speed: 15m/s (not recommend) 

# Communication (5.8Ghz/2.4Ghz) explained

1. Your RC Controller and the Phantom do not talk to each other – that is, the RC Controller controls the Quadcopter mostly in a one-way fashion. This occurs on one particular wireless frequency – 5.8Ghz. Most other multirotors use 2.4Ghz, but DJI uses the 5.8Ghz so that it won’t interfere with the second vi deo/telemetry channel – which is what your smart phone and the DJI repeater use! 2. The second channel – which allows video/telemetry – is a constant connection between your smartphone/tablet, the DJI repeater/range-extender (small box on the RC Controller handle) and the Phantom. This channel is at 2.4Ghz.
3. In addition to the above, the Phanto m is also constantly receiving signals from GPS satellites – all of this data combines with #1 and #2 above to provide the information for safe and effective flight. The reason for the repeater/range-extender is to amplify the wi reless signal so that the range is increased. As you know, your home wireless network can max out at 46m indoors/92m outdoors or so. DJI claims a range of 500-700m for the Phantom telemetry, although this can vary with the terrain, weather, interference, etc. The control signal is more or less line of sight though it extends far beyond wh ere one could actually see the Phantom. And, of course, the signal does get through "open" objects (like winter trees) and bends (somewhat) around solid objects but be careful anyway as it might not always be the case; it depends a lot of your actual surrounding. Need to Know: You’ll get a “ Control Signal Lost ” warning if you lose the First Channel - 5.8 Ghz: this will activate the FAILSAFE mode. You’ll get a “ Phantom Connection Lost ” warning if you lose the Second Channel - 2.4Ghz: in which case, you will lose Video and Telemetry feeds. Be sure to check the “Be prepared for the Worst” section.
