## 1.1 Built-in Flight Control System Instructions The built-in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft's functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards}, Roll (left and right}, Elevator (up and down} and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller contains the MC (Main Controller}, IMU, GPS, compass, receiver. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit} has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote control and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modules together. The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant, by choosing Naza-M mode or Phantom 2 mode. This manual is for Phantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza-M V2 Quick Start Manual for more information. 

## 1.2 Connectionswith OtherDJI Products PHANTOM 2 is compatible with other DJI products, including ZENMUSE H3-2D and H3-3D gimbal , iOSD mini , iOSD Mark II. Below are connections for these products and wireless videotransmission module.

### Important Notes of Using with Other DJI Products ( 1 ) The video cable can provide power for the wireless video transmission module with a battery voltage (ll.lV-12.6V) and a maximum current 2A. ( 2 ) Make sure the working current of the wireless video transmission module you connect can work with an operational voltage between 11.1V-12.6V and the total working current of the iOSD and wireless video transmission module is under 2A, as an overcurrent will damage the central board's components. If the total current exceeds 2A, please be sure to provide power supplied from a separate power sourcefor the wireless video transmission module. ( 3 ) PHANTOM 2 uses a 2.4GHz RC system. To avoid communication interference, it's not recommended to use other 2.4GHz devices (including 2.4G Wi-Fi or 2.4G wireless video transmission module) except the 2.4G Bluetooth and 2.4G Datalink. ( 4 ) Be sure to keep the wireless video transmission module and other communicating devices away from the compass during installation and connection to avoid interference. ( 5 ) To improve the compatibility with ZENMUSE gimbals, the latest factory deliveries of PHANTOM 2 has updated to the Version 2 shown below. H3-2D/H3-3D gimbal can be directly installed for the Version 2 while for Version 1, a H3-3D adapter kit (coming soon) is required to install the H3-3D gimbal.

Figure 1-4 ( 6 ) When using the H3-3D gimbal, please connect the 8-Pin cable of PHANTOM 2 to the G8 port of H3-3D shown below.

## 4.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 1. Never plug or unplug the battery into the aircraft when it is powered on. 2. The battery should be charged in an environment that is between 

# o•c to 40°(. and be discharged in an environment that is between 

# -2o•c to 

# so•c. Both charging and discharging should be in an environment where the relative humidity is lowerthan 80%. 3. It's recommended to charge and discharge the battery thoroughly once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Users should discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Users should then fully recharge the battery to maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will ensure the battery is working at its optimal level. 4. For long term storage please placethe battery with only a 40-50% capacity in a strong battery box securely. We recommend discharging and charging the battery completely once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. The capacity should bevaried in such a cycle (40%-50%}--0o/o-lOOo/.--(40%-50%). 5. It's suggested you purchase a new battery after you have discharged your current battery over 300 times. Please completely discharge a battery prior to disposal. 6. It's suggested that you purchase a new battery ifthe current battery is swollen or damaged in any way. 7. Nevertry to recharge orfly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 8. Nevercharge the battery unattended. Always charge the battery on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and never nearany flammable materials. 9. Safety is extremely important and users can get more information in the DISCLAIMER.

# 5 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT, Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures priortothefirstflight. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poorflight performance or 

### even flight failure. 

### Regularcalibration ofthe compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level. 

## !).1 Calibration Warnings ( 1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground. 

# 0 ( 2 ) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. ( 3) Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will work abnormally. 

## 5.2 Calibration Procedures Please carry out the calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quick start video ofthe PHANTOM 2 for more compass calibration details.

# 6 Flight Environment Requirements
( 2) 

### ( 3)



# . ·f. (4) ( 5) ( 6) 

## (7) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, getting 

### instruction from 

### an experienced person, etc.). DO NOTfly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. Try to avoid interference between the remote control and other wireless equipment (No base stations or cell towers around). The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. Never use the aircraft in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic lays and regulations. 

## 6.2Starting the Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push the sticks according to one of the options below to start motors. Once the motors have started, release both sticks simultaneously. The same CSC is used to stop the motors.



## A 

## B 

# c D Figure 6-1 

## 6.3Takeoff/Landing Procedures

1. Start by placing the PHANTOM 2 on the ground with the battery level indicators facing you. 2. Turn on the remote control. 3. Poweron the aircraft by turning on the intelligent battery. 4. When LED flight indicator blinks green/yellow, the PHANTOM 2 is entering Ready to Fly/Ready to Fly (non·GPS) mode. Start the motors with the CSC command. 5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to <Remote Control Operation> for more details. 6. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into ©2013-2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.24 

# Iplace and the aircraftwill descend steadily. 7. After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3 to 5 seconds to stop the motors. Return throttle stick to middle position after the motors have stopped. 

# 0 You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. 

### ( 1) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. ( 2 ) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Refertothe <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. ( 3 ) Watch the quickstartvideo about flight for more flight information. 

# ,j\. (4 ) 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. ( 5 ) When used with a H3-3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 2 propellerguardsatthis weight. Otherwise, the aircraft will be unable to fly normally. 

## 6.4Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote control is lost. The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote control and enter Failsafe mode: ( 1 ) The remote control is powered off. ( 2 ) The remote control is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant). ( 3) The aircraft has flown outofthe effective communication range ofthe remote control. ( 4 ) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote control and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. ( 5 ) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote control. Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. 

### Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---- Automatic landing

The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may be drifting during the descent and landing process. 

### Ready to Fly --- Automatic go home and land

The flight control system will automatically control the aircraftto fly back to the home point and land. ©2013-2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.25 

# I

### Home Point When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly backto home point successfully in casethe Failsafe mode is initiated.

### S2 switch of the remote controlfrom upper most to lower most positions 

### 5 times ormore will reset thecurrentaircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will seea series of rapid green blinks on the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of"home point" is: 

### ( 1 ) The home point is the place PHANTOM

## 6.5 Low Battery Capac:ity Warning Function The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 has two levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the second appears when it has less than 15% power. ( 1 ) When battery power drops below30% and LED indicator will blink red slowly. ( 2 ) At lower than 15% the LED indicator will blink red rapidly, the PHANTOM 2 will also begin to descend and

land automatically. After it has landed, keepthe throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC. ( 3 ) There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V

as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained ifnecessary by pushing up on the throttle stick. 

### ( 1) Remember to fly your PHANTOM 2 back as soon as you see a low battery capacity warning. 

## cJ\ ( 2 ) Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may cause a communication failure. 

## 6.6 Flight Limits Function All UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and per country airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance limits. In Ready to Fly status, height, distance limits works together to restrict the flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) status, only height limit works and the flying height restricted to be not over 120m. 

### (1) The default parameters in the Assistant is compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace Classification to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure the parameters to comply with these rules too, before using the PHANTOM2. (2) Users in Mainland China can refer to
