5.8 Compliance Version Configuration 

As power levels vary between regulators, the Phantom Remote Control's power output can be adjusted by twisting the 

CE/FCC Control Knob (Figure 27) on the back of the Remote Control using a flathead screwdriver. For CE compliance, 

set the Remote Control to CE with a full counterclockwise turn. For FCC compliance, set the Remote Control to FCC with 

a full clockwise turn. Be sure to follow relevant local regulations. 

Compliance can be configured using the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Select CE compliance version in Assistant to set it, or 

do the same with FCC compliance version. 

Q• Turn the CE/FCC Control Knob gently to avoid 

damage. 

• CE compliant devices have an effective remote 

control range of 400 meters in open spaces due 

to power limitations. 

• FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 

800 meters in open spaces. 

• Watch your flight distance as the Phantom 2 

Vision+ will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or 

go home and land) if it flies beyond the relevant 

range limits. 

• Always follow local laws and regulations. 

''' • It is recommended to use a02.4mm flathead 

screwdriver for adjustments. 

• There is another potentiometer for reserved use.

6 Preparing the Range Extender 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation 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 onboard compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. 

(4) Reduce 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.

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 performance. 

e - 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 cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.

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) Work 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. These 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 Control is lost. The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

~ Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Control signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates 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 position 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 the mobile 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 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Control is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote control range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Control and the Phantom has been blocked. 

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Control. 

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 the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly— Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

Q i, • To ensure the aircraft successful return to home after Failsafe activation, aim to only fly in Ready to Fly mode. 

• The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites 

detected for more than 20 seconds. 

• Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set 

return home altitude value in Phantom Assistant to avoid hitting vertical obstacles through DJI Phantom Assistant. 

Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote Control from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current =4= aircraft position as a new home point. Rear LED flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful. 

Failsafe on the DJI VISION App 

The DJI VISION App will provide information during Failsafe.

5 Low Battery Level Warning Function 

If the DJI smart battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft, the low battery level warning 

notifies users to take action. Users are advised to land the aircraft immediately when they observe these warnings. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from 

the Home point. Details of the battery level warning are listed below:

6 Flight Limits 

AII unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits 

function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, 

distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

~ Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).
