The Phantom 3 Professional'sflight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return 

### of your 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.

Threeflight modes are available. The detailsofeachflight mode arefound 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 by the Phantom 3 Professional 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 Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (lOC) is activated in this mode. For more Information about IOC, referto the IOC section inthe Appendix.

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

Home Point 

### ': 

## ·:' ,• . 

### If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (**ni'** 

### ). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhen the home point is recorded.

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 GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill 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.

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image datato help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional 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 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional 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.

@ 2015 OJ! All Rights R"'"""ed 

### 15Phantom 3 Professional User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

# e

1. Togglethe flight modeswrtch toP-mode. 2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot •

work properlyon surfaces without clear pattern variations. ,. 3. Tum 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 aircraft will 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-absorb1ng 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, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters orover4 m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark(lux< 10)or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thickcarpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Rying over surfaceswith identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles wrth the same design). • Flying over inclined surfacesthatwill deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

**~** • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is only effectivewhen the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properly when 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 of 40 KHz when Vision

**Posi~oning** 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) atfast speeds

.. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audibleto some animals.

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraftto the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

### P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different versions of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on GPS signal strength and the Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Viston Positioning both are available; the aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but asufficient GPS signal is not available. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for position holding. P-ATII: Neither GPS norVision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is maintained. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft uses only its barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically retum to the Home Point if remote controller signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, referto the IOC section in the Appendix. By default, the Flight Mode Switch is locked toP-mode. To unlock other flight modes, launch the OJI GO app, enterthe "Camera" page, and tap "Mode", then activate "Multiple Flight Mode". RTH Button Press and hold the RTH button to startthe Retum-to-Home (RTH) procedure. The LED ring around the RTH Button will blink white to indicate that the aircraft is entering RTH mode. The aircraft will then retum to 

### the last recorded Home Point. Press this button again to cancel the RTH procedure and regain control of the aircraft.

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended thatyou use theflight simulator in the DJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.



### 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 

### 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, highvoltage power lines, trees, and bodiesof water. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea ::!! level, as the performance of the batteryand aircraft may be affected. ciS" 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas.

### 51Phantom 3 Professional User Manual
Various factors contributetothe aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing 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 DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

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

is being initialization onthe v•olent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. 

### Do not attemptto poweronthe aircraft in this scenario.
