### 5.4 Battery Level Indicator Built-in LiPo Battery: The remote controller includes a recharg eable LiPo battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. You can monitor the current battery level using the LED indicators on the front panel of the remote controller as the fi gure shown:

The remote controller will show a blinking LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.45V, then automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, the remote controller will automatically power off, causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to Failsafe Function (Page27) for details). It is strongly recommended that you recharge the battery immediately when the 3.45V-3.5V low voltage warning occurs. 

### 5.5 Antenna Orientation Keep the antennas pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum remote controller range during flight. Battery Level Indicator

### 5.6 Remote Controller Operation The Remote Controller is set to Mode 2 by default. Stick Neutral/ mid point: Control sticks of the Remote Control ler are placed at the central position. Move the Stick: The control stick is pushed away from the cent ral position.

Remote Controller (Mode 2) Aircraft ( indicates nose direction) Operation details

Vertical movements on the left stick control elevation. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. When both sticks are centered the Phantom will hover in place. Push the throttle stick upward beyond the centered (neutral) position to take off. Push the throttle gently to prevent sudden and unexpected elevation. Horizontal movements on the left stick control the rudder. Push left to rotate counter clock-wise and right for clockwise. If the stick is centered, the Phantom will fly straight. The more the stick is moved, the faster the Phantom will rotate. Vertical movements on the right stick control forward and backward pitch. Push up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The Phantom will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight. Horizontal movements on the right stick control left and right pitch. Push left to fly left and right to fly right. The Phantom will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stick further for a larger pitch angle (maximum 35 ̊) and faster flight.
Left Dial: Turn the dial to the right, and the camera will shift to point upwards.Turn the dial to the left, and the camera will shift to point downwards. The camera will keep its current position if the dial is static.

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 The S1 switch is used for compass calibration. Toggle the S1 from position 1 to position 3 and back approximately 5 times to enter into compass calibration mode. In Naza-M mode, the S1 switch is used to switch between control modes and enter compass calibration.

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 S2 is used to record a Home point manually. After a Home point has been recorded automatically, flipping S2 from position 1 to position 3 and back 5 times (or more) rapidly will move the Home point to the Phantom’s current location. In addition, you can enable Dynamic Home Point feature in DJI VISION App. In Naza-M working mode, S2 is be used for IOC. For maximum range and reliability, Remote Controller antenna should point skywards with no obstructions between it and the Phantom. Obstacles may cause Return to Home to trigger. Phone Holder and Range Extender should not block the antenna. Figure 25© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

### 5.8 Compliance Version Configuration As power levels vary between regulators, the Phantom Remote Con troller’s power output can be adjusted by twisting the CE/FCC Control Knob (Figure 27) on the back of the Remote Contr oller using a flathead screwdriver. For CE compliance, set the Remote Controller to CE with a full counterclockwise turn. For FCC compliance, set the Remote Controller to FCC with a full clockwise turn. Be sure to follow relevant local regulations. Compliance can be configured using the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Sel ect CE compliance version in Assistant to set it, or do the same with FCC compliance version. 

### 5.7 Linking the Remote Controller and Receiver
A 5.8G receiver is built in to the Phantom 2 Vision+. Its link button and indicator are located on the underside of the phantom, as shown in Figure 26. The Remote Controller and the receiver are paired before delivery. Only use this button if you have replaced your Remote Controller or receiver.

Turn the CE/FCC Control Knob gently to avoid damage. CE compliant devices have an effective remote controller range of 400 meters in open spaces due to power limitations. FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 800 meters in open spaces. Watch your flight distance as the Phantom 2 Vision+ will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond the relevant range limits. Always follow local laws and regulations. It is recommended to use a Φ2.4mm flathead screwdriver for adjustments. There is another potentiometer for reserved use. CE FCC Figure 26 Link Button & Link Indicator In ‘Ready to Fly’ mode, the Phantom will hover when all sticks are released. In ‘Ready to Fly (non-GPS)’ the Phantom will lock its altitude but will not have horizontal positioning.

### 6 Preparing the Range Extender The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It is used 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 700 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 Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 Vision+ may occur. Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as ‘Phantom_XXXXXX’. The ‘XXXXXX’ represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.
