# 4 Preparing the Range Extender
The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device (Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding enviro nment, such as trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the ran ge extender functions properly . O therwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2
VISION. Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the

back label as ‘Phantom_ x xxxxx’ . T he ‘ xx x xxx ’ represent s the last six letters or numbers of the MAC address for the range extender.

- in Flight Control System Instruction s The built

- in flight control system is u s ed to control the entire aircraft’s functions in flight such as Pitch (forward s
and backward s ) , Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller
contains the MC (Ma in Controller) , IMU, GPS, compass, receiver and LED indicators. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built

- in inertial sensor and a barometric al timeter that measure s both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiv er
is used to communicate with t he remote controller and the MC acts as the brain s of the complete flight control
system connecting and controlling all the modules together.

# 10 Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedure s prior to the first flight.
The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which cause s abnormal compass data and lead s

to poor flight performance or even flight failure . Regular calibration of the compass enabl es the compass to perform at its optimal level.



### 10.1 Calibration Warnings (1)

(2) (3) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there i s a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic
interference such as magnetite, parking structures , and steel reinforcement under ground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materia ls with you during calibration such as keys or cell ular phones. Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly

.



### 10.2 Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM
2 VISION for more compass calibration details.



### 10.3 When Recalibration is Required (1) When Compass D ata is abnormal , the LED flight indicator will blink alternating between red and yellow. (2) Last compass calibration was performed at a completely different flying field/location. (3) The mechanical structure of the aircraft has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass

. (4) E vident drifting occurs in flight , i.e. the aircraft doesn ’ t fly in straight lines.© 2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

# 11 Flight

(2) (3)

(4) (5)

(6) (7) Before your first flight , please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice fly ing, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.).
D O NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog.
The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure
within buildin gs may interfere with the compass. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. Try to avoid interference between the remote control ler and ot her wireless equipment. (No base
station s or cell tower s around)
The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. All parts must be kept out of the reach of children to avoid CHOKING HAZARD S ; if a child has accidentally swa llow ed any part , you should seek immediate medical assistance.



### 11.2 Start ing the Motors A Combination S tick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the throttle stick up
. This is a safety precaution to prevent the motors from accidentally spinning up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners as indicated in the diagram below to start the motors. Once the motors have sp u n up, release both stick s simultaneously. The same c om bination stick command (CSC) is used to st op the motors

. R efer to the < DJI VISION App Usage> for more details. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down on the throttle stick gently to de scend and land. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 t o 5

seconds which will automatically stop the motors.

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight ! This will stop the motors and cause
the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. (1)

(2)

(3) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight , the aircraft has entered in to
Failsafe mode , refer to <Failsafe Function> for details.
A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blink ing red slowly or rapidly during f light . R efer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information.



### 11.4 Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost . T he flight control
system will auto matically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage

. T he following situations w ould make the aircraft fail to receiv e a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe

mod e: (1) The remote controller is power ed off. (2) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. (3) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.
Failsafe works different ly depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it i s in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode

. Ready to Fly (non

-- -- Automatic g o h ome and land
T he flight control system will auto matically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.© 2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### Home Point
When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. I t is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.



### Go Home P rocedures

I n a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically. In Phantom 2 Vision mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “ Ready to fly ” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Q uickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controller from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2 VISIO N . When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on the LED Flight Indicator. T he definition of “ home point ” is: i) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 VISION returns to when the control signal is lost , which is recorded last
time

. ii) The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the distance will be displayed on the DJI VISION App

.

# 14 Troubleshooting ( FAQ )
14.1 How to solve large margin (s) mid

- point error ?
If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid

- point margin of error is too big, the m otors will fail to start when you execute the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) and the aircraft will not take off. Below are possible situations where the
Remote Controller’s stick(s) mid

- point margins of error could be too big: (1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick position (except the throttle stick) is not center ed when power ing on the
PHANTOM 2 VISION

. S olution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at the ir mid

- point positions and then power cycle the PHANTOM 2
VISION to re

- record the mid

- point. If the problem persists , this can be caused by s cenario (2)

. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed which leads to a large deviation of the mid

- point position

. S olution: U se the Assistant Software to perform a Remote Controller calibration. To do so, carry out the following procedures. ( a ) Connect to the Assi stant S oftware, tap Basic

- > R C

- > Command Sticks Calibration, and push all Remote
Controller sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick c annot reach its outer most position. ( b ) Power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Note that a power cycle is required. ( c ) Redo the Remote Controller calibrat ion according to the Assistant S oftware.
I f the above solutions do not solve your issue , please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair.
