10 © 2015 OJI All Righls Reserved.

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Advanced's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return ofyour aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature. 

## Fli.ght M0de Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected bythe Phantom 3 Advanced depending on signal strength ofGPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.

:(;): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight modeofthe aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Advanced has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions ofthese LEOs are shown in the figure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED

The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators: © 2015 OJI All Rights Reserved

### Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH.The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.



### 12 © 2015 OJI All Rights ReservedPhantom 3 Advanced User Manual 

## Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affectthe safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI Pilot app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below:

meters (65 feet) radius ofthe Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. •The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is important to set a

suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter "Camera" and select "MODE >Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode" to set the Failsafe altitude. • User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to its failsafe altitude. However

the user can press Smart RTH button to regain control to cancel the ascending. 

## Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Advanced can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Advanced; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera. 

### 14 © 2015 OJI All R1ghts ReservedUsing Vision Positioning Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual

[1] [2]



### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Advanced is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. 2. Place the aircraft on aflat surface. Note thatthe Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraftwill hover in place. 

## ,& The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changesfrequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux 

### < 1 0) or bright (lux 

### > 1 00,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with the same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

### 15Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual 

### :(;): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may not function properlywhen the aircraft is flying overwater. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation. • Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds.. :t> 

# 0 Keep animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

# a sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audibleto some animals. PJ

### No-FlyZones All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive institute.The details of the No-FlyZones are explained as follow: 

### Airport (1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles of various sizes. (2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is aTakeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented. (3) From R1 mile to R1 

### + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination. Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640feet (500 meters) at R1

### 0 Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual How do I usethe Director automatic video editor? Director is an automatic video editor built into the OJI Pilot app. After recording several video clips, simply tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately. How do I changethe control modeof my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI Pilot app. This is only recommended for advanced users. Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a differentfrequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz. Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and avoltage of 15.2 V. My Phantom 3 does notturn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SO card. This helps prevent your datafrom being lost or corrupted. Do I haveto buy the Remote Controller separately? No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linked to the aircraft. Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same time. What doesthe "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controllerdo? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle differentflight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3 will attemptto stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC section in the Appendix of the User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes. 

### 50 © 2015 OJI All Righ1s ReservedPhantom 3 Advanced User Manual What is the Phantom 3 flight time? Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged. How can I restore a video file ifthe power is turned off during recording? Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored. How can I ensurethat my pictures and videos will be synchronized to my iOS album? You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab, select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the OJI Pilot app icon. If the Pilot app has not been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized. What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothlyas possible? Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground. Why is the dischargetime ofthe battery notzero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use. Can the mobiledevice holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? No, it cannot. Howto safely operatethe aircraftwhen encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI Pilot app will display one ofthe following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error,exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted . The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts.The aircraft will switch backto P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed. Howto troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal. © 2015 DJI All Rights Reserved

### 3 Advanced User Manual Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to OJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.
