# Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings

Flight Modes

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule: 1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are suffciently familiar with

the aircraft’s behavior for each fight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land the aircraft safely.

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious when fying in A mode.

1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are two different states of

P mode, which will be automatically selected by the DJI Matrice 100 depending on GPS signal strength: a) P-GPS: GPS is available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. b) P-ATTI: When GPS is not available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only

altitude is controlled. 2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS is NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain

altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to fight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI designated server.



## Failsafe and Return to Home

1) The Return to Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is i nsuffcient or if GPS is not active. 2) Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point instead of turning off the remote controller. 3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 4) Make sure to always fy the aircraft within the transmission ran ge of the remote controller. 5) When updating the Home Point, do NOT block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure the new Home Point is correct on the live map. 6) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic felds. 7) Do NOT update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an incorrect

location being stored. 8) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 15 Failsafe altitude before each fight. 9) Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home Point that is

different from the takeoff point.



## Low Battery

1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. 2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid

losing power during fight and causing damage to the aircraft, p roperty, animals, and people.

DJI always stresses safety during fight, and has therefore developed various aids to help users comply with local rules and regulations while fying. We strongly recommend that you update the frmware to the latest version to ensure the following features are fully updated:

No-Fly Zones 1) No-Fly Zones include but are not limited to major airports around world, borders between two sovereign

countries or regions, major cities/regions, etc. 2) The complete list of No-Fly Zones is listed on the offcial DJI website at http://fysafe.dji.com/no-fy and is

subject to periodic updates in line with the latest regulatory requirements without prior notice. 3) Some No-Fly Zones are comprised of several zones. Each zone features circles of various sizes. The

aircraft will NOT be able to take off in the inner most zone of the No-Fly Zone, and will descend to the specifed altitude when it approaches the edge of the inner most zone. Ground station functionality is disabled when the aircraft is within a No-Fly Zone. 4) Users are NOT able to set up waypoints within No-Fly Zones.

Altitude Limit 1) Fly NO higher than 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level and stay away from any surrounding

obstacles.

If you intend to fy above the default altitude limit, you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to enable the new altitude limit. If a new altitude limit is set, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to fight telemetry data and altitude limit changes could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI-designated server.© 2015 DJI.
