Aircraft 

The flight controller provides stability, safety and control to the Phantom 3 Standard. The supported flight 

modes are designed to optimize aircraft control for different conditions and purposes. The flight controller 

allows the aircraft to automatically Return-to-Home (RTH) if the remote controller signal is lost (i.e. Failsafe 

RTH) or when instructed to by the pilot (i.e. Smart RTH), ensuring the safe return of your aircraft. Flight 

data is stored to the device every time you fly and can be accessed anytime . 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: 

P-Mode {Positioning): P-Mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. One of its two states will be 

selected by the aircraft automatically depending on GPS signal strength. 

P-GPS: GPS is available. The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. 

P-ATTI: GPS is not available. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. 

A-Mode (Attitude): GPS is not used for positioning, and the aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain 

altitude. If a GPS signal is present, the aircraft will still return to the last recorded Home Point if the remote 

controller signal is lost. 

F-Mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is supported in this mode. Refer to the IOC section 

in the Appendix for more information. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P-Mode by default. To enable other flight modesl go to the OJI GO 

app > Camera View > ~ > Advanced Settings > Enable Multiple Flight Modes. 

The Phantom 3 Standard has two Front LEOs located under the two front motors and two Aircraft Status 

Indicators located under the two rear motors.

The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on and help you orientate the aircraft when it 

is in the air. You can switch off the Front LEOs in the DJI GO app to achieve a better fjJrrung result The 

Aircraft Status Indicators indicate the status of the flight controller. See the table below for details of its 

blinking patterns.

The Return-to-Home (RTH) procedure 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. The following sections 

describe them in detail. 

Home Point ~.n 

The Home Point is the location at which the aircraft takes off. A 

strong GPS signal ( ~.u t) } must be present for the aircraft to record 

the Home Point. It the Home Point is recorded successfully, the 

Aircraft Status Indicator will blink green rapidly. 

Tap (£ in the OJ I GO app or toggle the 82 switch on the remote controller back and forth at least twice 

to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will first ascend to the Return-to-Home altitude, then return to the last 

recorded Home Point if a GPS signal is available. During the RTH procedure, you may use the remote 

controller to guide the aircraft around obstacles. 

Tap<{:; or toggle the Si switch once to terminate Smart RTH and regain full control of the aircraft.

Phantom 3 Standard User Manual 

When the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft, 

the Low Battery Level Warning or Critically Low Battery Warning will appear in the DJI GO app. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and 

distance from the Home Point, but you can also set your own fixed thresholds as extra precaution. 

Observe the Battery Level Indicator as you fly your aircraft. The 12:29- icon displays the estimated 

remaining flight time, and the icon represents the point when the battery level is just enough for the 

aircraft to return to the Home Point. The 12:29 icon gradually moves to the left as the battery is consumed. 

When the 12:29 icon enters the yellow region, the Low Battery Level Warning will appear and prompt 

you to Return-to-Home. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 

seconds, but you can resume normal flight by tapping~ or toggling the S1 switch. 

When the 12:29 icon enters the red region, the battery level can only support the aircraft to land from its 

current altitude. The Critically Low Battery Level Warning will appear and the aircraft will begin to descend 

automatically. You should find a suitable location to the land the aircraft immediately.

Lt. • The aircraft will automatically descend and land if Failsafe RTH is triggered when the aircraft 

is within a 20 meter (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. During the RTH procedure, if you move 

the throttle stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet (20m), the aircraft will stop ascending and 

immediately return to the Home Point. 

• The aircraft cannot Return-to-Home if the signal is weak ( [). rH!l ] is grey). 

• The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH procedure, and therefore it is 

important to set a suitable Return-to-Home altitude before each flight. Go to the OJ I GO app > 

Camera View > ~ > Advanced Settings > Failsafe Mode to set the Failsafe altitude. 

The aircraft automatically keeps a record of detailed flight data including telemetry measurements, 

aircraft status information, and error messages. To export this data, connect the aircraft to the PC 

through the Micro USB port and launch the DJI GO app to export this data. This data can be later 

analyzed with the proper software if necessary. 

Only use official OJI Phantom 3 propellers with your Phantom 3 Standard.

Turning On or Turning Off the Battery 

Press the power button once, again, and hold for 2 seconds. 

When turning off the battery, the power button may continue to flash for a few seconds if the 

aircraft is still storing media files to the Micro SO card. 

Low Temperature Environments: 

1. The battery capacity is significantly reduced when flying in cold environments (i.e. air temperatures 

below0°C). 

2. It is not recommended to fly in very cold environments (i.e. air temperatures below -1 0°C). Ensure the 

battery voltage is stable when operating in air temperatures between -1 ooc and S°C. 

3. End the flight as soon as possible if the Low Battery Level Warning appears when you are flying in low 

temperature environments. 

4. Try to warm up the battery indoors prior to flying in low temperature environments. 

5. Keep the battery core temperature above 20°C to ensure optimal performance. 

6. The charger will pause the charging process if the battery core temperature is out of operating range 

(0°C ... 40°C ). 

~ • Ensure the temperature of the Intelligent Flight Battery exceeds soc before takeoff. 

• To warm up the aircraft battery, power it on inside the battery compartment for approximately 1-2 

minutes before takeoff. Begin flying by hovering the aircraft at a low attitude for approximately 

1 minute to ensure that the battery temperature is stable. 

Checking the Battery Level 

When the battery is powered off, press the power button once. The Battery Level Indicator will light up to 

display the current battery level. See the table below for more details. 

1-{9 The Battery Level Indicators will also show the current battery level during charging and 

discharging. The LED states are defined below.

Used to boost the transmission range between the on-board camera and the remote controller, the 2.4 

GHz WiFi video downlink is integrated into the remote controtfer and provides the device with an effective 

communication range of up to 0.62 miles (1000 m). It also enables the remote controller to connect to the 

OJI GO app wirelessly. 

Connecting to the WiFi Video Downlink: 

1. Switch on the remote controller. 

2. Turn on the aircraft. 

3. On your mobile device, select 'PHANTOM3_XXXXXX' from the WiR network list, and enter the default 

password '12341234'. 

4. Launch the DJI GO app and enter Camera View. A video signal from the aircrates camera indicates 

that the aircraft has established a connection to the WiFi video downlink successfully.
