::.(:): The Smart Flight Battery can be charged using an optional Phantom 2 Car Charger. This can charge the battery 

in-car or through 3S-6S Li-Po batteries. Contact your authorized dealer or DJI customer service for details. 

ffi • Battery should only be charged with the charger provided by DJI. DJI does not take any responsibil ity for 

damage caused by third party chargers. 

• If current battery level is over 75%, the battery should be turned on before charging. 

2.4 Battery Installation 

Push battery into battery compartment according to the below diagram. When you hear a click, the battery has been 

properly installed. 

ffi An incorrectly installed battery may cause 

• Bad contact, 

• Unavailable battery information, 

• Unsafe flight, 

• Inability to take off. 

Figure 7 

2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

(1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges - (40%-50%}--0%-100%-(40%-50%). 

(4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

:(;): Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

3.2 Built-in Flight Control System 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ is equipped with a DJI Naza-M V2 Flight Control System. This provides incredible ease of use 

and stability. Pilots can control the Phantom's movements in many directions, including pitch (forwards and backwards), 

roll (left and right), elevator (up and down) and yaw (turn left or right). The flight control system also can provide IOC, 

Failsafe and battery level warnings.

Flight Controller 

IMU 

GPS & Compass

FC Assistant Port 

Functions 

Acts as the brains of the complete flight control system, responsible for connecting and 

controlling all the modules together. 

Has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and 

altitude. 

The compass reads geomagnetic information and assists the GPS (Global Position System) 

to accurately calculate the position and height of the aircraft. 

Indicates the status of flight control system. 

The flight control system communicates with the PC Assistant through a Micro-USB cable between the Phantom FC 

Assistant Port and the PC. Users can use Assistant to configure the aircraft and upgrade the Phantom firmware. Please 

refer to Using the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant (Page 46) for details.

3.3 LED Flight Indicator Descriptions 

LED flight indicators are found at the front and the rear of the Phantom. Front LEOs are for indicating where the nose of 

the aircraft is. They light up solid red after motors have started spinning. Rear LED Flight Indicators light up to show the 

aircraft's current flight status once the flight battery is powered on. For details, please see the below table.

3.4 3-axial Stabilized Gimbal 

The 3-axial stabilized gimbal of the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

will power on and self-check each time the flight battery 

is installed and powered on. Its pitch can be controlled 

using the DJI VISION App. This gimbal has two working 

modes, Non-FPV mode and FPV mode, with the Non-FPV 

mode set as default. This can be configured in Phantom 2 

Vision+ Assistant or the OJI VISION App.

ffi • Non-FPV Mode: the gimbal will stabilize across 3-axial for smooth aerial creativity. 

• FPV Mode (First Person View Mode): Gimbal will lock to the movements of the Phantom for a FPV experience. 

Anti-drop Kit 

The Anti-drop Kit helps keep the gimbal and camera 

connected to the aircraft. Two have been mounted on 

delivery. If new ones are required, take the gimbal and 

press part [ 1] through the center hole of the Vibration 

Absorber the center hole of part [2]. Lock them together 

as shown in [3]. Mounting the Anti-drop Kit diagonally is 

recommended.

,&. Once part [ 1] and part [2] are connected, the Anti-drop Kit cannot be disconnected and reused. 

Micro-SO Slot 

With flight battery powered off, make sure the Micro-SO 

card is inserted correctly into the Micro-SO Slot before 

taking any photos or recording any video. 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ comes with a 4GB Micro-SO card 

and can support cards up to 32GB. The DJI VISION App 

may not be able to read some Micro-SO cards. Using 

the DJI VISION App to reformat new Micro-SO cards is 

recommended. 

Refer to Format Micro-SO Card (Page 37) for details. 

0 Do not insert or remove Micro-SO card when flight battery is powered on. 

Gimbal Error Warnings 

Figure 15 

Before the aircraft takes off, if a gimbal motor error is detected or the gimbal clamp is not removed, there will be a 

warning prompt on the camera page of the DJI VISION App. This will disappear after the problem is resolved.

Assembly and Use 

& • Remove gimbal clamp before powering on flight battery. 

• Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) Gimbal has 

received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open ground and protect the 

gimbal after powering up. 

• Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The gimbal will recover 

when it dries out.
