# Fly Safe

DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Advanced In a safe, responsible, and smart 

### way. To do this, 11 is Important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both foryour protection and forthe safetyofthose around you. 1. 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-Landing, 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 Line ofSight: Keep youraircraft in sightat ailtjmes, and avoidfl)'ng behind buildings orotherobstaclesthat mayblackyour

### view. 4. MonitorYour Altitude: For the safe1y offull-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. Visit http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly for more Information on critical safety features such as

# Iii '

# ~ Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. Toe compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass 

### data, leading 

### to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibratlon is required for optimal performance. 1. DO NOTcalibrate yourcompass where there is achance ofstrong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and



### steel reinforcements underground. 

### 2. DO NOT carryferromagnetic materials with you during callbrat!on such as 

### keys or cellular phones. 3. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objecis. 4.**~** the Aircraft Status indicators are showing solid 

### red, then 

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

### red and yellow alternately after

placing the aircraft on the ground, 

### the compass has 

### detected magnetic Interference. Change your location, 

### • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not fly in severeweather conditions. lhlS Includes high winds (speeds of 

### 22 mph or 

### 1 O

### mis or more), snow, rain, and

### fog. 2. Onlyfly in open areas. Tail buildings and steel structures mayaffect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 

### 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnettc Interference byavoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission towers, orWI-Fl hotspots. 

### 5.Aircraft and 

### battery performance are 

### subject to environmental factors such as 

### air density and temperature. 

### Se 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 

### w!II be operational. 

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

### out. When GPS is avai"1lle, aHome Point will be locked sothatthe Phantom 3Advancad can Returnto Home Itthe Remote Controllersign~ is

### lost
To enable PMode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to the Pposition.
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: ItGPS is not available, the aircraft can usethe Vision Positioning system to hoveraccurately. P·AlTI: Neither GPS northe \11slon Positioning system are available. Toe aircraft will only use Its barometerfor altitude and other on~board sensorafor attitude atablllzation. 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 alow-light environment.

When there Is astrong GPS signal, the aircraft will be ableto record a Home Point and return to that Home Point when required. The Home Point location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the OJI GO app Is eitheryellowor green. The aircraft will return to the Home Paint automatically In the following scenarios (all require astrong GPS signal): Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller orin the OJI GO app is pressed. Low·Battery RTH: A notfficatlon will appear in the DJI GO app requesting the pilot to take action when the battety level falls underacertain level. Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller~ signal is lost.

• While returning to the Home Point, the aircraft's altitude can be adjusted to avoid obstacles. Tall buildings may affect the Remote

Controller's signal. The Fallsafe Return to Home procedure wm 

### be triggered if the signal is lost. Be sure to fly higherthan any nearby buildings
