# Fly Safe

OJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional in a safe, responsible, and smart way. To do this, it ls important to understand some basicflight guidelines, bothforyour protection and for the safety ofthose around you. 1. Flyin OpenAreas: AJways fly in locations that arefree and clearof buildings, trees, powerlines, and otherobstacles. Do notflyabove

or near people oranimals. 

### 2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using 

### OJI 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 of

### Sight Keepyouraircraft In sightatall

### times,and avoidflylng 

### behind butingser

### otherobslacles1hat**~**bbckyculliew. 4. MonitorYourAltitude: For the safety offull-sized aircraft and other airtraffic, always fly at altitudes less than 400feet (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 No-FlyZones.


### • Calibrating the Compass: Make sure to calibrate the compass at 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 failure. Regular calibration 

### is required for optimal performance. 1. DO NOT calibrate yourcompass where there Is achance ofstrong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and

steel reinforcements underground. 2. DO NOTcarryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

### 3. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 4. Ifthe Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid red, then try to calibrate again. If they are blinking red and yellow alternately after

placingtheaircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. 

### • Environmental Considerations: 1.Do not fly In severe weather conditions. This includes high winds {speeds of

### 22 mph or 10 misor more), snow, rain, and fog. 2. Onlyfly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 

### 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas with high levels ofelectromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission towers, orWi-Fi hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subjectto environmental factors such as airdensityand temperature. Be very careful when

flying 19,600feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efficiency. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATTI Mode and the Vision Positioning

system will be operational. 

### • P Mode: In this mode, the Phantom 

### 3 Professional can use GPS and theVision Positioning system, allowing It to hover accurately In position Indoors and

### out. When GPS 

### Is available, a Home Point will be locked 

### so thet the Phantom 

### 3 Professional 

### can Return to Horne if the Remote Controller signal is lost.

# ~ To enable PMode, togglethe Flight Mode Switch

### ~ to the Pposition.

There are three states In P mode: P-GPS: GPS workS bestwhen outdoorsand in awide open area. Your Phantom 

### 3 Professional uses GPS to hover In place when there is a strong GPS signal. P-OPTI: IfGPS is not available, the aircraft

### can usetheVision Positioning system to hoveraccurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are available. The aircraft will only use Its barometerfor altitude and other on-board sensors for attitude stabilization. Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when the Phantom 3 Professional is flying overwater, oversurfaces without 

## aclear pattern, or In a low-light environment.

I I I 

## -} tu Return to home GPS Positioning



### • Return to 

### Home: ''•-

..,.,.,,r**~**.............,.............."

When there ls a strong GPS signal, the aircraft will be able to 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 eitheryellow or green. The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically In the following scenarios (all require a strong GPS signal): Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller or In the DJ! GO app is pressed. Low-Battery RTH: A notification will appear in the OJI GO app requesting the pilotto take action when the battery level falls underacertain level. Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller's signal is lost.

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

Controller's signal. The Failsafe Return to Home procedure will be triggered Ifthe signal Is lost. Be sure tofly higherthan any nearby buildings 

### to avoid crashing.
