# Fly Safe
DJI encourages you 

### to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Advanced In a safe, responsible, and smart 

### way. To do this, !t is important to understand some

**bas~** flight guidelines, both foryour protection and forthe safetyofthose around you. 

### t .Fly in Open Areas: Always fly in locationsthat arefree and clearofbuildings, trees, powerlines, and otherobstacles. Do notfly above



### or near people or animals. 2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as

**Auto~**Takeoff,

**Auto~Landlng,** and Auto-Return to

Home, alWays keep your hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control 

### ofyour aircraft when it is in flight. 3. Maintain Une ofSight: Keep youraircraft in sightat all

**~mas.** and avoidflyng behind buildings orotherobstaclesthat mayblockyourview. 4. MonitorYour Altitude: For the safety offull-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always fly at

**a~itudes** less than 400feet (120 meters)

above ground level, or in line with your local laws and regulations. Visit http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly for mora information on critical safety features such as 

# ®

**:o-::~:;ng** the Compass: 

# V'':

... Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data, leading 

### to poor 'Hight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 

### 1. DO NOTcallbrate yourcompass 

### wherethere is achance ofstrong magnetic interference, such 

### as magnetite, parking structures, and



### steel reinforcements underground. 2. DO NOT carryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as 

### keys or cellular phones. 3. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 4.

**~the** Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid 

### red, than 

### try to calibrate again. If they are blinking 

### red and yellow

**a~ernateiy** after

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

### • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. lhiS Includes high winds (speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/s or more), snow, rain, and

### fag. 2. Onlyfly In open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures mayaffect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds,

**high-vo~age** power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic Interference byavoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission 

### towers, or

**WI~FI** hotspots. 5.Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. 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 efficiency. 6. The Phantom 3 Advanced cannot operate In P Mode or use GPS 

### at polar latitudes. Only ATTI Mode and the Vision Positioning

system will be operational. 

### • PMode: In this mode, the Phantom 3Advanced can use GPS and the Vision Positioning system, allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors and 

### out. When GPS is avaikrole, aHome Point will be locked sothatthe Phantom 3Advancad can Ratumto Home

**~the** Remote Controller

**sign~** is

### lost To enable PMode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to the 

### P position.
There are three states in 

### P mode: P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors and In a wide open area. Your Phantom 3 Advanced uses GPS to hover In place when there Is astrong GPS signal. P-OPTI:

**~**GPS is not available, the aircraft can usethe Vision Positioning system to hoveraccurately. P·AlTI: Neither GPS northe \11sion Positioning aystem are available. 

### The aircraft will only use Its barometer

### for altitude and other

**on~board** sensorafor

**att~ude** stabilization. Note that the Vision Positioning system may not 

### work properly when the Phantom 

### 3 Advanced is flying over water, over surfaces without 

### a clear pattern, or In 

### a low-light environment.

### The Home Point location is recorded when 

### the GPS signal icon in the 

### OJI GO app 

### Is eitheryellow or green. The aircraft will return 

### to the Home Point automatically In the following scenarios (all require astrong GPS signal): Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller or In the DJI GO app is pressad. Low·Battery RTH: A notffication will appear in the DJI GO app requesting the pilot to take action when the battery laval falls underacertain level. Failsafe RTH: When the Remote

**Controller~** signal Is lost.
• While retumlng to the Home Point, the aircraft's altitude can be adjusted to avoid obstacles. Tall buildings may affectthe Remote

Controller's signal. The Fallsafe Retum to Home procedure wlll be triggered if the signal is lost. Be sure to fly higherthan any nearby buildings

### to avoid crashing.

# 5. Preparing the Remote Controller Tilt the Mobile Device Holderto the desired posnlon, and then adjust the antennas as shown. The strength of the Remote Controller's signal will fluctuate depending on the positions ofthe antennas.

The transmission signal between the aircraft and Remote Controller will be strongest wnhin the range Illustrated here. If the signal is weak, adjust the positions of the antennas and fly the aircraft closerto achieve optimal signal performance. Q) 

### Press the button on the side of the Mobile Device Holderto release the clamp. 

### (%) Place your mobile device into the clamp and adjust it so that the mobile device is held securely In place. 

## ® Connect your mobile device to the Remote Controllerwith a USB calble. Plug one end of the cable into your mobile device, and the other end into the USB port on the back of the Remote Controller.


# A • To avoid signal interference, do not use other 2.4GHz devices when flying.
