6.4 Failsafe Function 

The aircr<:~ft will enter F;~ilsafe modo when the connection from the remote control is lost The flight control system 

will <~utom.:~tically control tho ilircrilft to return to homo ;:~nd land to reduce injuries or d<:~m<:~ge. The following 

situations would make the .:lircr.'lft f.:~il to receive <1 

sign<~! from the remoto control .:~nd enter Fai!s<:~fe mode: 

( 1 ) The romote control is powe,>red off. 

( 2 ) The remote control is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Filils<:~fe (this must hllVC 

been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assisttlnt). 

( 3 ) The <~ircrilft h;~s flown out of tho effective communication r.:~ngo of the remote control. 

( 4) There is <~n obsttlcle obstructing the signal between the remote control and the <:~ircrilft. essentially reducing 

tho disttlnce tho ~ignill CDn tr.:~vel. 

( 5) There is interference causing n signill probiQm with the remote control. 

Failsilfo works differently depending on the mode the z.ircroft is in when Filils;~fo mode is initi.:lted whether it is in

pr.:.o:::tico flying, getting instruction from .:~n experienced person, etc..). 

( 2 ) DO NOT fly in b.:.d weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate brcozc) or fog. 

( 3 ) The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obtodes; th(! steel structure 

within buildings may interfere with tho c;ompass..

5 Calibrating the- Compass 

IMPORTANT: Make suro to perform the Comp.1ss C:l!ibr.:~tion procedures prior to tho fir:;t flight. 

Tha compa-:.s is-. very sen::.itivc to clcctromo:~gnctic interference which Co:Juses .:~bnormo:~! compass do:~ta and leads to 

poor flight pe1rformanco or oven flight f.:~iluro. Regular calibration of tho compass on.:Jblcs tho comp.lss to perform ;:.t 

its optim;;~l level. 

5.1 C<liibrlltion Warnings 

( 1 ) DO NOT c:~libr;:~te your comp.,ss whore there is a possibility for the existence of strong 

m.::~gnctic interference such as magnetite, p.:~rking structures, and steel reinforcement 

underground. 0 ( 2) DO NOT c.:Jrry ferromagnetic materials with you during c.:~librntion such .:~s keys or ccllulnr 

phones. 

(3) Compo:~ss C.:llibro:~tion is very imporl;!lnt; otherwise the flight control system will work ubnormnlly. 

5.2 Calibration Procc:-durc:-s 

Ploo:~so 

c.:~rry out the co:~librating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please vrotch the quick st:Jrt video of the

~~-Correct Battery Usage N_.£~-----------

1. Never plug or unplug the batte1)' into the aircr.:lft when it is powered on. 

2. The battery should be ch<1rged in <ln <mvironment th<lt is betYfflon OQC to 40QC. and be discharged in an 

environment that is b<:!twoon -20°( to 50°C. Both charging and discharging should be in lln environment 

whore tho re-lative humidity is lower than 80%. 

3. It's recommended to charge and discharge tho b;~tt<:lry thoroughly once avery 20 ch<~rge/dischargo cycles. 

Users should disch-.rgo the b-.tt<'ry until there is loss th-.n 8% power loft or until tho batt<'ry c:~n no longor 

be turned on. Use-rs should then fully rech;"Jrge the battery to maximum c.:lp<Jcity. This power cycling 

procedure will ensure tho battery is working .:.tits optimal level. 

4. For long term stor.agc please pi;"JCC> the b<Jttery with only a 40-50% c:~pacity in a strong battery box 

securely. We recommend discharging and ch::~rging the b.:lttory completely once every 3 months to keep it 

in good condition, The cr~p;~city should be varied in such ::1 eyc:le {40%-50%)-0%-100%-{40%-50%}. 

5. It's suggested you purchase a new battery ::~ftcr you have discharg<:ld your current battery over 300 times. 

Please completely discharge .a battery prior to dispos.al. 

6. It's suggested thnt you purchase a new battery if the current battery is swollen or damaged in ;:,ny way. 

7. N<:!ver try to rcch::~rge or fly with a battery that is swollen or d;"Jm.agcd in ;:,ny way, 

8. N<'ver charge the b::~ttery unattended. Alw.:.ys charge the b::~ttcry on a non-fl<:~mmablo surfac<' such as 

concreto ;"Jnd never ne.:tr .:my fl.:~mm.:~ble m.aterials.
