Fly Safe 

DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional in a safe. responsible, and smart way. To do this, it is important to 

understand some basic flight guidelines, both for your protection and for the safety of those around you. 

1. Fly in Open Areas: Always lly in locations that are free and clear of buildings, trees, power lines, and other obstacles. Do not fly above 

ornearpeopleor animals 

2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to 

Home, always keep your hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control of your aircraft when it is in flight. 

3. Maintain Line of Sight: Keep yot_r aircraft in sight at all times, and avold tlying behind bu~d()gs or other obstacles that may block your view. 

4. Monitor Your Altitude: For the safety of full-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always fly at altitudes less than 400 feet (120 meters) 

above ground level, or in line with your local laws and regulations.

No¥FtyZones. 

• Calibrating the Compass: 

Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interierence, which 

can cause abnonnal compass data, leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimot 

perfonnance 

1. DO NOT calibrote your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and 

steel reinforcements underground. 

2. 00 NOT carry ferrornagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

3. 00 NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

4. If the Aircraft Status Indicators are sho~o·ving solid red, then try to calibrate again. It they are blinking red and yellow alternately after 

placing tile aircralt on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location 

• Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. This includes higll winds(speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/s or more), snov,, rain, and tog 

2. Only fly in open areas. TaU buildings and steel structures may affect tile accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, l1igh-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations, 

radio transmission towers. or Wi-Fi hotspots. 

5. Aircrart and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperattJre. Be very careful when 

flying 19,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak ofllcloncy. 

6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATTl Mode ami t1 1 VIsion Positioning 

system will be operational. 

• P Mode: In this mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision 

Positioning system, allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors 

and out. \IVhen GPS is available, a Home Point \Nil be bcked so that the 

Alaltom 3 Professional can Return to Home if the Remote ControHer 

signalis tost 

u ~ To enable P ~ode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch lothePposl!lon. 

There are three states in P mode: 

P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors and in a wide open area. Your 

Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in place when there is a 

strong GPS signal 

P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, tho aircraft can use the Vision Positioning 

systemtohoveraccurate:y. 

P-ATII: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are availab!e. 

The oircraft vlill only use its barometer tor altitude and other on-board 

sensors forattitudestabiTization. 

Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when 

the Phantom 3 Professional is flying over water, over surfaces without 

a clear pattern, or in a low-light environment 

X-------Return to home 

IIIII $ GPSPositioning 

• Return to Home: 

When there is a strong GPS signal, 1118 aircraft will be able to 

record a Horne Point and return to that Home Point when 

required. The Home Point location is recorded when tile GPS 

signal icon in the DJI Pilot app is either yellow or green. 

The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically In the 

following scenarios {all require a strong GPS signal): 

Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller 

orin theDJI Pilotappispressed. 

Low-Battery RTH: A notification will appear in the DJI Pilot 

apprequestingthepilot totakeactionwhen thebatterylevel 

fallsunderacertainlevel. 

Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller's signal is lost.

inside (or outside) corners. Release the sticks once the 

motors start. Slowly push the left stick (throttle stick) up to 

takeoff. 

Start I Stop the motors Left stick up (Slowly) 

To land, gently pull the left stick (throttle stick) 

down to lower the aircraft until it touches the 

ground. Then pull both sticks to the bottom inside 

corners to stop the motors. 

Lett stick down (Slowly) 

• Never stop the motors mid-flight. otherwise the aircraft will crash. Only stop the motors when on the ground or as required in 

emergency situations to reduce the risk of darnage or injury. 

• You cannot takeoff if the Intelligent Flight Battery is not sufficiently charged and the Critical Low Battery Warning is active 

• The Intelligent Flight Battery must warm up if the outside temperature is low. A warning will appear in the O.JI Pilot app in this scenario
