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 sweJs up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or lly 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 [nformation, please see the Disclaimer. 

:\): Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on unm 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,

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 an flights are carried out in a suitab'e 

location. 

Right Environment Requirements 

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather condotions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Ay 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 tines, trees or bodtes of water when in fl·ghl. 

(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. 

Preflight Checklist 

(1) Remote Control, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. 

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly. 

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

(5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed. 

(7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. 

(B) Gimbal is functioning as normal. 

(9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 

(10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

1 CallbratlnQ the Compass 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensiltve 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. 

0 • 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. 

1.1 Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more 

details.

disappear after successful calibration. 

1.2 When to Aecalibrate 

(1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED 16ghl indicator will blink red and yenow. 

(2) Rying in different location to last flight. 

(3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. 

(4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

2 Startlng!Stop_plng the Motors 

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bollom corners to start the 

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There are two methods to stop the motors. 

Figure 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. 

Release both stiCks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. 

(1) [2) 

Figure SO Rgure 51 

0 Do not execule CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop wilhout control. 

:\): • Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors starVstop. 

• Pull down the throHie stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push 

the throllle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

3 Flight Test 

3.1 Take off/Landing Procedures 

(1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with ballery indicators facing towards you. 

(2) Power on the Remote Control and Range Extender, then the Smart Right Ballery. 

(3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. 

{4) Wait until the Rear LED Right Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Ry.lf it flashes yellow, 

it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. 

(5) Push the throllle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Control Operation (Page 18) for more details. 

{6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more deta~s . (7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throllle gently to descend. 

(8) Afler landing, execute lhe CSC command or hold the throllle at its lowest posilion for 3 seconds or more until the 

motors stop. 

(9) Turn off the smart ballery, Range Extender and Remote Control. 

26 © 2014 OJI AU Roghls Reserved 
Flight 

& • When the Rear LED Right Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Right Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionpluS/training. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as ballery and atrcraft 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 toRy 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 llight 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 Right Control System will 

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

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

coordinates win 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 coord·nates 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 specilic time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vtsion 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 Ay(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Right Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Ay- Automatic go home and land 

The Right Control System wm automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

Appendix 

If the Remote Control slick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC 

and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes lor this. 

( 1) One of the Remote Control's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 

2Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Control sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to 

re-record the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Control sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> AC -> Corrvnand Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control slicks ttvough 

their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Control calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Control to DJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to '"Wi·Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Tu-n off the Remote Control to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land 

at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the horne point and that you are 

familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the clJlrent Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mob~e device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large {file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files.

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-R Extender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi·R connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-R network, most devices win check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-R setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. II no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiR network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-R, and then lap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.1 0 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices tum off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: Rrst pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What If I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode?
