### 51FAQ 

### Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

What is the Phantom 3 fight time? Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted fight time when fu lly charged.

How can I restore a video fle if the power is turned off during recording? Do not remove the Micro-SD card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video fle is restor ed.

How can I ensure that my pictures and videos will be synchronized to my iOS album? You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab, select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the DJI GO app icon. If the GO app has not been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized.

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? Hover the aircraft over a fat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground.

Why is the discharge time of the battery not zero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use.

Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? No, it cannot.

How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is fying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the DJI GO app will display one of the following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the fight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.

How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display fashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

fat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts “Initialization Error”. • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal.

### Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the fat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

## Intelligent Flig ht Mode
Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POI), Follow Me and Waypoints features to assist users to create professional shoots during the fight. Course Lock and Home Point lock helps to lock the orientation of aircraft so that the user can focus more on other operations. Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to fy automatically according to the pre-set fight maneuvers.

Course Lock Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft’s forward direction. The aircraft will move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle).
Home Lock Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorderd Home Point.

Point of Interest The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator can be more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest.

Follow Me A virtual tether is created between the aircraft and the mobile device so that the aircraft can track your movement as you move. Note that Follow Me performance is subject to the GPS accuracy on the mobile device.

Waypoints Record a fight path, then the aircraft will fy along the same path repeatedly while you control the camera and orientation. The fight path can be saved and re-apply in the future.
