### 1.1 Built
- in Flight Control System Instructions The built

- in flight control system is u s ed to control the entire aircraft’s functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards), Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller
contains the MC (Ma in Con troller), IMU, GPS, compass, receiver.
The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built

- in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is
used to communicate with the remote control and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting a nd controlling all the modules together.
The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant , by choosing Naza

- M mode or P hantom 2 mode.

This manual is for P hantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza

- M V2 Quick Start Manual for more
information. 

### 1.2 Connections with Other DJI Products PHANTOM 2 is compatible with other DJI products, inclu ding ZENMUSE H3

- 2D and H3

- 3D gimbal , iOSD mini , iOSD Mark II. Below are connections for these products and wireless video transmission module.

( 1 ) The video cable can provide power for the wireless video transmission module with a battery voltage (11.1V~12.6V) and a maximum current 2A. ( 2 ) Make sure the working current of the wireless video transmission module you connect can work with an operational voltage between 11.1V~12.6V and the total working current of the iOSD and wireless video transmission module is under 2A, as an overcurrent will damage the central board’s components. If the total current exceeds 2A, please be sure to provide power supplied from a separat e power source for the
wireless video transmission module. ( 3 ) PHANTOM 2 uses a 2.4GHz RC system. To avoid communication interference, it’s not recommended to use other 2.4GHz devices (including 2.4G Wi

- Fi or 2.4G wireless video transmission module) except the
2.4G Bluetooth and 2.4G Datalink. ( 4 ) Be sure to keep the wireless video transmission module and other communicating devices away from the compass during installation and connection to avoid interference. ( 5 ) To improve the compatibility with ZENMUSE gimbals, the latest factory deliveries of PHANTOM 2 has updat ed to the Version 2 shown below. H3

- 2D / H3

- 3D gimbal can be directly installed for the Version 2
while for Version 1 , a H3

- 3D adapter kit ( coming soon) is required to install the H3

- 3D gimbal

### 3.4 Remote C ontrol Operation

The operations of remote control are based on mode 2 stick configuration

. 

### Definitions
The ‘ stick neutral’ position s and ‘ stick released’ mean the control stick s of the remote control are p laced at the central position. To ‘move the stick ’ means that the stick of remote control is pushed away from the central position. Slide Lever is used for the pitch control of the H3

- 2D and H3

- 3D gimbal.

Remote C ontrol (Mode 2) Aircraft ( nose direction ) Operation details

T he t hrottle stick controls aircraft altitude/ elevation. Push the stick up and the aircraft will rise. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will descend

. The aircraft will automatically hover and hold its altitude if the stick s are centered. P ush the throttle stick above the centered (mid

- point ) position to make the aircraft tak e off. When flying, we suggest that you push the throttle stick slowly to prevent the aircraft from sudden and unexpected elevation changes.

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 17 | The y aw stick controls the aircraft rudder. Push the stick left and the aircraft will rotate counter clock

- wise

. Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate clock

- wise

. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will remain facing the same direction. The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity. The pitch stick controls the aircraft’ s front & back tilt

. Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fl y forward

. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fl y back ward

. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of is 35 ̊) and faster flight velocity. The roll stick controls the aircraft ’s left & right tilt. Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fl y left. Pu sh the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fl y right. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing the stick further away from center will result in

a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35 ̊) and faster flight velocity.

- 3 S1 is for compass calibration. T oggle the S1 switch from position

- 1 to po sition

- 3 and back to position

- 1 at least 5 times, which will force the aircraft to enter into compass calibration mode. U sers can configure position 3 (bottom position) of the S1 switch to trigger the Failsafe in the Assistant

.

OFF Course Lock Home point Lock S2 is the IOC mode switch. IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control) function can be enabled in the Assistant when in Naza

- M mode . Only use the IOC function after you are familiar with flying

.

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 18 | The l eft d ial control s the pitch of the H3

- 2D and H3

- 3D gimbal. T he position of left dial determines the pitch angle relative to the horizontal level. Turn the left dial to the right to make th e gimbal pitch up
. Turn the left dial to the left to make the gimbal pitch down. The gimbal will keep its current position if t he dial is static.

( 1 ) For ‘ R eady to F ly’ the aircraft will hover when all stick s are released. ( 2 ) For ‘ Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) ’ the aircraft will only keep the altitude when all stick s are released.

## 5 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedure s prior to the first flight.
The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which cause s abnormal compass data and lead s to
poor flight performance or even flight failure . Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level. 

### 5
. 1 Calibration Warnings
( 1 ) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground.
( 2 ) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cell ular phones.
( 3 ) Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will work abnormal ly

. 

### 5 .2 Calibration Procedures Please carry out the calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM 2 for more compass calibration details.

## 6 Flight 6 .1 Flying Environment Requirements ( 1 ) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.). ( 2 ) D O NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. ( 3 ) The flying field should be open and void of tall buildi ngs or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass. ( 4 ) Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. ( 5 ) Try to avoid interference between the remote control and other wireless eq uipment (No base
stations or cell towers around ). ( 6 ) The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. ( 7 ) N ever use the aircraft in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic lays and regulations. 

### 6 .2 Starting the Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors

### 6 .3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures

1. Start by placing the PHANTOM 2 on the ground with the battery level indicator s facing you
. 2. T urn on the remote control

. 3. Power on the aircraft by turning on the intelligent battery

. 4. When LED flight indicator blinks green/yellow, the PHANTOM 2 is entering Ready to Fly / Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode. Start the motors with the CSC command.
5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground

. R efer to < Remote C ontr ol Operation > for
more details.
6. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 25 | place and the aircraft will descend steadily.
7. After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3 to 5 seconds t o stop the motors. Return throttle stick to middle position after the motors have stopped.

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight ! This will stop the motors and cause the
aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. ( 1 ) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight , the aircraft has entered in to Failsafe mode , refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. ( 2 ) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blink ing red slowly or rapidly during flight . R efer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. ( 3 ) Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information. ( 4 ) Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temp erature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. ( 5 ) When used wit h a H3

- 3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 2 propeller guards at this weight. Otherwise, the aircraft will be unable to fly normall y. 

### 6 .4 Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connecti on from the remote control is lost . T he flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. T he following
situations w ould make the aircraft fail to receiv e a signal from the remote control and enter Failsafe mode: ( 1 ) The remote control is power ed off. ( 2 ) The remote control is power ed on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in t he PHANTOM 2 Assistant )

. ( 3 ) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote control

. ( 4 ) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote control and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. ( 5 ) There is interference causing a signal proble m with the remote control

.

Failsafe works different ly depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it i s in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode. Ready to Fly (non

- GPS)

---- Automatic l anding

The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may be drifting during the descent and landing process.

Ready to Fly

---- Automatic g o h ome and land

The flight control system will automatic ally control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

### ©2013

- 2014 DJI . All Rights Reserved. 26 | Home Point

When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. I t is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being
able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.

- 2 ( 1 ) I n a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically. In Phantom 2 mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “ Ready to fly ” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Q ui ckly flipping the S2 switch of the remote
control from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on
the LED Flight Indicator. T he definition of “ home point ” is: ( 1 ) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 returns to when the control signal is lost , which is
recorded last time

. ( 2 ) The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the

distance will be displayed as

### 6 .5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 has two levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the batter y has less than 30% power and the second appears when it has
less than 15 % power
. ( 1 ) When battery power drops below 30% and LED indicator will blink red slowly

. ( 2 ) At lower than 15 % the LED indicator will blink red rapidl y, the PHANTOM 2 will also begin to desce nd and land automatically. After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC

. ( 3 ) There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage th reshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto

- landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pu sh ing up on the throttle stick

. ( 1 ) Remember to fly your P HANTOM 2 back as soon as you see a low battery capacity warning. ( 2 ) Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may
cause a communication failure.



### 6
. 6 Flight Limits Function All UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and per country airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance l imits

. In Ready to Fly status, height, distance limits works together to restrict the flight. In Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) status, only height limit works and the flying height restricted to be not over 120m. (1) The default parameters in the Assistant is compl iant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace Classification to get more details). As each country has its own rules,
