### Home Point. These features ensure the safe relurn of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight.

TM ` 0 Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: D P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P ° mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

### w - Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode S

### DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more 

### precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [i]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

116 0 2014 DJI. AII Rights Reserved.INSPIRE 1 User Manual Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

### 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system p cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

### 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. A The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

### flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

### aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning D System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: " w • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). ~ • Flying over a highiy reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water or transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

### • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

### • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

### • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

### • Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

### 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Visicn Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

~ e . 

### Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.
