# Fly Safe
DJI enco urages yo u to e nj oy flying your Phar\to m 3 Professional i n a safe, re spo nsi bl e, an d smart way . To do this, it is important to understand so me basic flight gu ide lines, both ) for your protection and for the safety of t hose ar o u nd you . I 1
. Fly in Open Areas : AJways fly in locations tthat are free and c lear of build ings, trees, power lines, and ot he r o bstacl es. Do not fly above

or near people or animals. ! 2. Maintain Control at All Times : Even whe h u sing D J I a uto pilot funct ions such as Auto- T akeoff , Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to Home. always keep your hands on the

### Re~ote Co ntroller and mai ntai n contro l of you r aircraft when it is in flight. 3. Maintain Line 

### of Sight: Keep your aircraft i n**~ight** at all times, and avoid flying behind bu ildi ngs or ot ha- obstacles that may bbck your view. 4. Monitor Your Altitude : For the safety of fli ll-sized aircraft and other ai r tra ff ic, always fly at a ltit ud es less than 400 feet 

### (120 me ters) above ground level, or in lin e with you r

# ' • Calibrating the Compass: 1 

# Iii
. Make sure to calibrate the co m pass at every n ew f light location. The co m pass is v ery sens itive to elect ro magnetic interference, which can cau;e abnormal compass data,

### leadl~ to poor fl i ght performance· or even fail u re . Regular cali b ra t ion is req ui red for optimal performance. 1
. DO NOT ca libr a te yo ur compass where t here is a chance of strong magnetic i nterference , such as magnetite , parking structu r es, and s te el reinforcements underground
. ' 2
. DO NO T ca rry ferromagnetic m aterials With you d urin g ca libration such as keys o r cell ul a r pho ne s. 3. DO NOT calibrate b eside massive metal objects. 4. If the Aircraft Status Ind ica tors are

### showi~g so li d red, then t ry t o calibrate again. If they are blinking red and y ell ow alternately afte r placing the ai r craft on the g r o und, the corflpass has detected m agnetic interfe re nce . Change your bcatio n . 

### • Environmental Considerations: 

# i 1. 

### Do not fly in severe weather condit ions. This includes hi gh winds (speed s of 22 mph o r 

### 10 m/s or more), snow , rain , and fog. 2
. On ly fl y in ope n areas . Tall bu ildi ngs and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the 011-bOard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacl es, c r ow d s, high-vo l tage power lines , trees, an d bo d ies of water. 4
. M in imize electr o m agnet i c interf erence by

### .~vo**idin g**  areas with high levels of electro m agnetis m , incl ud ing mob il e phone base stati ons, ra

d io transmi ssio n towers, or Wi -F i hotsp0ts. 5. Aircraft a nd batt ery performance are su bject to environmental factors su ch as ai r density and temperature. Be very carefu l w hen flying 

### 19 ,60 0 fe et (6 km) or m ore above**~ea** level, as ba ttery an d ai r craft pe rfor ma nce may not be at peak efficiency. 6
. The P hanto m 3 Profess ional can n ot ope f at e in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes
. Only ATII Mode an d the Visio n Positio n ing

system will be operational. 

### • P Mode: In this mode, the P hantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision Pos it ioning system , allowing it to hover accb raM ;in positio n in d oors an d out. VVhen GPS is available, a Home Point will be locked so that the Phantom 3 PtOfessional can Return to Hamil if the Remote Co nttOI!er s ig nal is lost.
