1. Fly H'l Open Areas: Al\.vays fly in lOCationstnat arefree and clear

### Do no:fly above

or near people 

### or anlmais 2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autooilot fJnclions sucn as Auto·Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to

Home. always keep your 11ands on tile Remote COntroller and maintain control ofyour aircraft wnen it is

### Calibrating the Compass Make sure to calibrate tne compass at every new flight location. TI1e compass IS very sensrtlve to electromagnetic mterterence, which can cause abnormal compass data, leading to poor ftight performance or even taHure. Regular caiiorat•on IS required tor opt1mai pertonnanc:B



### DO NOT calibrate your compass wnere

### mere 1s

### achance ofstrong magnetic Interference, such as magnetite, park•ngstructures. and steei reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic matenats with you ounng calibration such as keys or cellular phones DO NOT calibrate bes:de mass1ve meta: obtects 

### If the Aircraft Status Indicators are show1ng solid 

### red, then try to calibrate again if they are blinking red and yeliow alternately after placrng the aircraft on the ground, tne compass has detected magnetic interfere'lce. Changeyour iocat1on. 

## Environmental Considerations i. Do not fiy

### msevere weather conditions. This Includes high winds (speeds of

### 22 mph or 

### 10rnls or rnore), snow, rain, a'ldfog 

### 2. Onty 

### fly 1n ooen areas. Tall bi.IIIdings and steel structures may affect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS s1gnal 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds. high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding 

## areas witt1 high !evels ofelectrom1J9netisrn including mooile phone base stations,

radio transmiSSIO'l towers,**o~** Wi-Fi hotspots 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subject 

### to envtronmenta! factors such as air aensity anc temperature. Be very caretw when

flymg 

### 19,600teet 

### (6 km) or more above sea levei, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efflctency

# * PMode In tl1is mode. the Pnantom 

### 3 Professional can use GPS and theVr81on Positioning system, allowing It to hover accurately 

### tn position indoors 

### and out. When GPS 

### :s ava[able, a Home Point will be locked so thatthe Phantom 

### 3 Prolesslonal can Return to Home if 

### the Remote Controller signal is lost

# ~ To enable PMode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch 

### w the P posltton.

There are three states in P mode 

### P-GPS: GPS worKS bestwher. outdoorsand in awideopen area. Your Phantom 

### 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in place when there is a strong GPS signal P-OPTI: lfGPS is not available, the aircraftcan use the ViSion Positioning system to hover accurately_ P·ATII: Neither GPS nor tne Vision Pos1tionmg system are available The arrcraft will only use its barometer lor altitude and other on
..boord sensors for attitude s:abilization. Note that the VIsion Posilion1ng system may not work properly when the Phantom 3 Professional is fty1ng over water, over surfaces without a clear oattem, or in a low·light enwonment.
