1 Calibrating the Compass 

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

(1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as 

magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.

(2) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones.

(3) 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.

Figure 49

If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App’s camera 

page. It will disappear after successful calibration.

1.2 When to Recalibrate 

1. When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow.

2. Flying 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 Starting/Stopping the Motors 

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. (Figure 50)

Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks 

simultaneously. 

Figure 50

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There are two methods to stop the motors.

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

Release both sticks once motors stop.

1 2 Figure 51

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

Figure 52

 

Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without 

control.

 

Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop.

command to start motors.

5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 25) for more details.

6. Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 48) for more 

details.

7. To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend.

8. After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more 

until the motors stop.

9. Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller.

(1) When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered 

Failsafe mode. Refer to Failsafe Function (Page 41) for details.

(2) A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or 

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

(3) View tutorials about flight for more flight information: www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training.

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 to Fly 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 flight routes and scenes.

©2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

4 Failsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control 

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

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

GPS coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

1) When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point 

coordinates and land.

2) Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as 

“Distance” on the GUI of the DJI VISION App).

3) After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green.

4.1 When will Failsafe Activate? 

1. The Remote Controller is powered off.

2. The Phantom has flown out of effective communication range.

3. The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

4. There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller.

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes.

Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---- Automatic landing

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

descent and landing process.

Ready to Fly ---- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

The below demonstrates the complete Ready to Fly Failsafe landing process.

3 Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

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

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

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

(1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+.

Solution: Place all Remote Controller 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. 

(1) Connect to Assistant Software, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control

sticks through 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 Controller 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-SD 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: Turn off the Remote Controller 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 home 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 current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile 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.

3.7 iOS Albums fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings -> Private -> Photos -> DJI 

VISION. Otherwise Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device.
©2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

 

3.8 Failure to share. 

Solution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet.

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

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same 

time. When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet 

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

Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the 

Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi 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-Fi, and then tap 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.

3.10 App tips for mobile devices. 

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

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device.

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

First 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? 

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.
