2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

(1) When the baltery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery wilh only a 40-50 % charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the baltery once every 3 monlhs to keep it in good condition. Charge amounl should be varied in these maintenance 

charges - (40%-50%1 0%-100 %--(40%-50%). 

(4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on, Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or unlil the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is sugges[ed that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

i This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide 

to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable 

location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe wealher conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high vollage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. 

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Preflight Checklist 

(1) Remote Control, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. 

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly. 

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

(5) Anli-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed. 

(7) Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary. 

(8) Gimbal is functioning as normal.

(10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

1 C alibratinat -.i ~ -: a ,. _ .- ... ~ , . ~ ~Y . . ~ •I. ~ P 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to 

electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0• DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, 

parking slruclures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

1.1Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more 

details.

Qi, • When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

(1) Work through the check list before each flight. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. 

(3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 

(5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. I m m

• When Remote Control signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in moUon and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Control is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote control range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Control and the Phantom has been blocked. 

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Control. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying slatuses will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly(non-GPS) —Automatic landing 

The Right Control System wll keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during tfle descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly— Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits 

function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legaliy. The flight limits function includes height, 

distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

Q] Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

complywith these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

3'~T ou res ootin9;(FAQ)? 

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid -point error? 

If Ihe Remote Control stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC 

and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible f ixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Control's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 

2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Control slicks al lheir mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to 

re-record the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Control sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. 

a) Connect to Assislant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control sticks through 

their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Control calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Control to DJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether bolh lhe camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "W-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi -Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Control to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land 

at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are 

familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 108060 video files.

3.8 Failure to share. 

Solution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet. 

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi -Fi Extender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

Is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

i

then uncheck the "Auto network switch°. You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored.

~ 3.10 App tips for mobile devices. 

9X7 Solution: If using the App on multlple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solulion: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.
