                  Product Profile
                  Introduction
                  The Phantom 3 4K represents the next generation of DJI quadcopters. It is capable of capturing 4K video
                  and transmitting an HD video signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to max-
                  imize stability while minimizing both weight and size. Even when no GPS signal is available, the Vision
                  Positioning System allows the aircraft to hover accurately in place.


                  Feature Highlights
Product Profile




                  Camera and Gimbal: With the Phantom 3 4K, you’re shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and
                  capturing 12 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. An enhanced sensor gives you
                  greater clarity, lower noise, and better pictures than any previous flying camera.

                  HD Video Downlink: The low-latency long range HD downlink is powered by an enhanced version of DJI
                  Lightbridge.

                  DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: The 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery cells
                  and an advanced power management system.

                  Flight Controller: The next-generation flight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable
                  flight experience. A newly implemented flight recorder stores critical data from each flight and the Vision
                  Positioning System enhances hovering precision when flying indoors or in environments where GPS is
                  unavailable.

Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Phantom 3 4K’s flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode.
Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft
if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-
board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking
feature.

Flight Mode
Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below:




                                                                                                                           Aircraft
P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of
P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 4K depending on signal strength of GPS
and Vision Positioning sensors :
     P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
     P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is
             using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.
     P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for
             positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.
A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses
its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and
the Home Point was recorded successfully.
F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information
about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.


        Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight
        Mode Switch” on Page 26 for more information.


Flight Status Indicator
The Phantom 3 4K has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown
in the figure below:




                                                                                     Aircraft Status Indicator


                Front LED




The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is
turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the
system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status
Indicators:


                                                                                   © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.   11

           Return-to-Home (RTH)
           The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are
           three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes
           these three scenarios in detail.
                                        GPS                                      Description
                                                   If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point
                                                   is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal
            Home Point
                                                   strength is indicated by the GPS icon (            ). The aircraft status
                                                   indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.


           Smart RTH
           Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 26 for more information)
           or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to
           initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use
           the remote controller’s control sticks to control the aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart
           RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH
           button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH
The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that
may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately
when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The
aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The
user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds
for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from
the Home Point.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough
to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s




                                                                                                                                          Aircraft

           Phantom 3 4K User Manual


                      When Critical battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically,
                      you may push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an
                      opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location.
                      The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated
                      remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location
                      and status.



           Failsafe RTH
           If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will
Aircraft




           be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Return-
           to-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote
           controller signal connection is re-established.

                      Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [            ] displays grey) or
                       unavailable.
                      Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 20
                      meters (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to
                      the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes
                      or beyond during Failsafe.
                      The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is important to set an
                      suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” and
                      select “MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode” to set the Failsafe altitude.
                      User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to its failsafe altitude. However,
                      user can press RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.

       Vision Positioning System
       The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain
       its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 4K can hover in place
       more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available.
       The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom
       3 4K; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.




                                                                                   [1]
                                                                                   [2]




         Using Vision Positioning
         Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 4K is turned on. No further action
         is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable.
         Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 4K can hover
         precisely even without GPS.




                                                                                     © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.   15


           Phantom 3 4K User Manual


           Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:
           1. Toggle the flight mode switch to P-mode.
           2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot
              work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.
           3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which
              indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off
              and the aircraft will hover in place.


                   The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is
                   flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating
                   above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in
Aircraft




                   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 over a highly reflective surfaces.
                      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).
                      Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft.

                     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 function properly when the aircraft is flying over water.
                     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 sonar
                   sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals.



           Flight Recorder
           Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight
           telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the
           aircraft to the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

                   When battery life reaches 0%, it can no longer be used.

                   For more information about the battery, launch the DJI GO app and check the information that is listed
                   under the battery tab.



           Charging the Intelligent Flight Battery
           1. Connect the Battery Charger to a power source (100-240 V 50/60 Hz).
           2. Open the Protection Cap and connect the Intelligent Flight Battery to the Battery Charger. If the battery
              level is above 95%, turn on the battery before charging.
           3. The Battery Level Indicator will display the current battery level as it is charging.
           4. The Intelligent Flight Battery is fully charged when the Battery Level Indicators are all off.
           5. Air-cool the Intelligent Flight Battery after each flight. Allow its temperature to drop to room temperature
              before storing it for an extended period.


                     We do not recommend charging the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller with the
                     standard charger at the same time, otherwise the charger may overheat.
                     Always turn off the battery before inserting it or removing it from the Phantom 3 4K. Never insert
                     or remove a battery when it is turned on.
