The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer fo r positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design)

. Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters. The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation. Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds.. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated.

The Phantom 3 Professional remote controller is a multi-function wireless communication device that integrates the video downlink system and aircraft remote control system. The video downlink and airc raft remote control system operate at 2.4 GHz. The remote controller features a number of camera control functions, such as taking and previewing photos and videos, as well as controlling gimbal motion. The remote controller is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery. The battery level is displayed via LE D indicators on the front panel of the remote controller.  The remote controller is compliant with both CE and FCC regulations.  Control can be set to Mode 1 or Mode 2, or to a custom mode. The right stick serves as the throttle. The left stick serves as the throttle. To prevent transmission interference, do not operate more than three aircrafts in the same area.
