Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings

Flight Modes

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule:

1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with

 the aircraft’s behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land

 the aircraft safely.

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is

unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious

when flying in A mode.

1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states

 of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and

 Vision Positioning sensors:

 a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

 b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately.

 Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over

 water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment.

 c) P-ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for

 positioning, so only altitude is controlled.

2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. 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.

3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

 with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the

prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree

that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and

maintained on a DJI designated server.

Failsafe and Return to Home

1) The Return to Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufficient or if GPS is not active.

2) Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home

 Point instead of turning off the remote controller.

3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

 speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.

4) Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.

5) When updating the Home Point, do NOT block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure the new

© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 13
 Home Point is correct on the live map.

6) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the

 weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields.

7) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate

 Failsafe altitude before each flight.

8) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when flying above the surfaces that do

 not have a clear pattern. Refer to the “Vision Positioning System” section for complete indoor flying criteria.

Low Battery

1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

 push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for

 landing.

2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid

 losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.

Vision Positioning System

1) The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do NOT have pattern variations.

 The effective altitude for the Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 2.5 meters above

 ground level (AGL).

2) The Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water.

3) Keep your pets away from the aircraft when the Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar

 sensors emit a high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets.

4) Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast or too

 low.

5) Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

 a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

 b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces;

 c) Flying at high speeds (over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter);

 d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces;

 e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects;

 f ) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically;

 g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces;

 h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thick carpet).

 i ) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture;

 j ) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design);

 k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft

6) In the event of loss of the remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land

 if it is in “P” mode.
