brakirg feature.

Flight Mode

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

P-mode (Positioning} : P-mode vJorks best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of

P-mode, which ~n~ill be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Advanced depending on signal strengih -»

of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is

using cnly the Vision Positioning System for positioning.

RATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using oily its barometer for

positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.

A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses

its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to Uie horne point if Use control signal is lost and

t(~e Home Pcint :~~as recorded successfully.

Vision Positioning System

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current

position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Advanced can hover in place more precisely

and fly indoors cr it other environments rvhera a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the

Vision Positioning System are IocaCed on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Advanced; they include [?_] two

ultrasonic sensors and [1 ]one monocular cairnera.

Using Vision Positioning '~

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Advanced is turned on. No

further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS

is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built in?o the Vision Pcsiiicning system, the Phantom 3

Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

15
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual

Follow Use steps below to use Vision Positioning:

7. Toggle the flight mode switch to P-mode.

2. Place the aircraft or a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning sys±em cannot 4 P P

work properly on surfaces without clEar pattern variations.

3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which

indicates the Vision Positioning systEm is ready. Gently push the throttle up Co lift off

and the aircraft will hover in place.

~i, The performance of your Vislon Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is

flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating

above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in

~ suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mcde to A-mode automatically if neither

s~ GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available.. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the

following situations:

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces.

• Flying at high speeds(over B m/s at 2 meters or over ~4 m/s at 1 meter).

• Fying over v~ater or transparent surfaces.

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

• Flying in an area ~r~here the lighting changes requently or drastically.

• Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.

. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sorand v~faves (e.g. thick carpet).

• Flying over surfaces wiihout clear patterns or texture.

• Fiyirg aver surfaces v~✓itli identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design).

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft.

;Q; •Keep the sensors clean at alI times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

• Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters.

• The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properly when the aircraft is flying ovEr water.

• The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in Iow light

conditions (less than 100 lux).

. Da not use other ultrasonic devices ~r~ith frequency of ~0 KHz ~rohen `✓ision Positioning system is

in operation.

• Vision; Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flyng close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds..

Keep animals away from the aircraff when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar

sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals.

Flight Recorder

Flight dafa is automatically recordFd to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight

telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the

aircraft to the PC through fhe MicraUSB port and launch the DJI GO app.

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI GO

app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open

area.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog.

2, Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system.

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

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

and radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes g!eater than 19, 685 feet (6040 meters} above sea

-n level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.

~° 6. The Phantom 3 Advanced cannot operate within the polar areas.

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and

regulatory agencies including the ICRO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default;

which helps users operate Chls product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance

limits, and No-Fly Zones.

V+Ihen operating n P-made, height limits, distance limits, and Na~iy Zones function concurrently 'o

manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft

altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m} .

Maximum flight altitude &Radius Limits

M~imum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum

flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3

No-Fly Zones

All No-F~y Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http_//ftysafe d~i.com/no_fly~ No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned

aircraft operate at low alCiYudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive

institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:

Airport

(1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various sizes.

(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination,

Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating oub~ard, The flight altitude is

limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1 +-1 mile

Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual

Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions

listed below:

• Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue.

• Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at ali time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI

for repairing.

• Minor vibration is detected during aircraft init alizatior. Pt~t the aircraft on the fiat surface, power on the

aircra't and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seccrds to resolve the issue.

• Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs v,~hen the aircraft
