Ready to Fly Figure 47 

# Flight Once pre -flight preparatio n is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onbo ard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. (4) Redu ce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers. (5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. (6) Do not fly the aircraft within no -fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. (5) Anti - drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro- SD card has been inserted if necessary. (8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

### 1 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in 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 flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum perform ance. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cell ular phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

### 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. W atch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more details. 360°Rotate the aircraft horizontally Quickly flip the switch S1 Position - 1 Position -3 Position - 1 ->Position - 3 - >Position1 Flip 5 times or abov e, or tap "Compass Calibration" in DJI VISION APP 360°Rotate the aircraft vertically (Nose downward) Start cali.

All Rights Reserv ed. **25** Calibrating the Compass Flight If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App’s camera page. It will disappear after successful calibration. 

### 1.2 W hen to Recalibrate (1) W hen compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight. (3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

### 2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push bo th sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. 

### 2.2 Stopping Motors Figure 49 There are two methods to stop the motors. Method 1: W hen the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: W hen the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. Starting/Stopping the Motors / Flight Test [1] [2] Figure 50Figure 51 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. Conduct the CSC as neatl y as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

### 3 Flight Test 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the Phanto m 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera pre view page. (4) W ait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Ready to Fly (non - GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start moto rs. (5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. (7) To land, hover over a leve l surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. (8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller. **26** © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserv ed. Wh en the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. Refer to Fail safe Function(Page 27) for details. A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level W arning Function(Page 28) for details. View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

### 3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips (1) W ork through the check list before each flight. (2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. (3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. (4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. (5) Change camera settings to suit you. Th ese include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. (6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

### 4 Failsafe Function The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will aut omatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. Home Point: W hen the Phantom enters ‘Ready to Fl y’ from the ‘Ready to Fly status (non - GPS)’, the GPS coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. Wh en Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. Home point c oordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as “Distance” on the GUI of the DJI VISION App). After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to po sition of the mobile device at specific time intervals. Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS -enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to obtain higher accuracy of th emobile device position. Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different from the takeoff point. 

### 4.1 W hen W ill Failsafe Activate? (1) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. (3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. (4) There is interference causing a signal pro blem with the Remote Controller. 

### 4.2 Failsafe Procedure Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. Ready to Fly(non - GPS)

# - Automatic landing The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during th e descent and landing process. Ready to Fly

Flight LimitsCategory A Safety Zone (1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no -fly zone” and a range of “restricted - altitude zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no -fly zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted - altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no -fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at 5 miles (8 km). (4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. W hen you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Vision app. Category B Safety Zone (1) Category B “safety zone” is comprised of a “no -fly zone” and a “warning zone”. (2) 0.6 miles (1 km) around the safety zone is a designated “no -fly zone”. (3) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. W hen you fly within 0.6 miles (1Km) of this zone, a warning will appear on the DJI Vision app. Ready to Fly Zone No-fly Zone Restricted - altitude flight zone Wa rning zone Free zone DJI VISION App Notification Wa rning: You are in a No -fly zone.

### 3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid - point error? If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid - point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2 Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid - point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re - record the mid point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid - poin t position. Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic - > RC - > Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot rea ch its outermost position. b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re -attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer servic e for repair. 

### 3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro - SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for the video file to be restored. 

### 3.3 Fail ure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switch ed to “W i - Fi ON.” 

### 3.4 W hat to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi - Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and l and at the Home point. Please make sure the re are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

### 3.5 W i - Fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double check the current W i - Fi connection status of the mobile device. The m obile device may be connecting to other W i - Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

### 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. So me mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files. © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserv ed. **49** Appendix Appendix 

### 3.7 iOS Albums fail to synchronize. Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings - > Private - > Photos - > DJI VISION. Otherwise Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device. Figure 116 Figure 117 Figure 118

### 3.8 Failure to share. So lution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet. 

### 3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi - Fi Extender. Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a W i - Fi connection and a mobile data connect ion at the same time. W hen trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ W i - Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a certain W i - Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non - routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ W i - Fi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to so lve this issue. Tap Settings - > W i - Fi, and then tap the “Menu” button. Select “Advanced” then uncheck the “Auto network switch”. You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connect ion is unstable this message can be ignored. 

### 3.10 App tips for mobi le devices. Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

### 3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: F irst pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

### 3.12 W hy is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects th e discharge time of the new battery. This is why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

### 3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

### 3.14 Does ground station supp ort caching map data offline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

### 3.15 W hat if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re -connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically
