Flight Modes 

[&WARNING) 

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule: 

1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufAciently familiar with 

the aircraft's behavior for each Aight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land 

the aircraft safely. 

[ NOTICE J 

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is 

unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious 

when flying in A mode. 

1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states 

of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and 

Vision Positioning sensors: 

a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. 

Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over 

water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment. 

c) P-ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for 

positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 

2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only 

uses its barometer to maintain altitude. II it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and n the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar 

with IOC functions before use. 

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the 

prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree 

that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and 

maintained on a DJI designated server. 

Failsafe and Return to Home 

[ NOTICE I 

1) The Return to Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufficient or if GPS is not active. 

2) Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home 

Point instead of turning off the remote controller. 

3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and 

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 

4) Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller. 

5) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the 

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields. 

© 2015 OJI. All Rigtl1s Reserved. 15 
6) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate 

Failsafe altitude before each flight. 

7) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when flying above the surfaces that do 

not have a clear pattern. Refer to the "Vision Positioning System" section for complete indoor flying criteria. 

Low Battery 

I NOTICE I 

1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may 

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for 

landing. 

2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid 

losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people. 

Vision Positioning System 

I NOTICE I 

1) The Vision Positioning System cannot work prope~y over surfaces that do NOT have pattern variations. 

The effective altitude for the Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 8.2 feet (2.5 

meters) above ground level (AGL). 

2) The Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

3) Keep your pets away from the aircraft when the Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar 

sensors emit a high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 

4) Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast or too 

low. 

5) Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: 

a) Rying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

b) Rying over highly reflective surfaces; 

c) Rying at high speeds (over Smls at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter); 

d) Rying over water or transparent surfaces; 

e) Rying over moving surfaces or objects; 

I) Rying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically; 

g) Aying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces; 

h) Rying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thick carpet). 

i ) Rying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture; 

j) Rying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design); 

k) Rying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft 

6) In the event of loss of the remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land 

if it is in •p· mode.
