5Preparing the Remote Controller
The PHANTOM 2 VISION+ remote controlleris a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency

band. The link between the remote controller and aircraft isalready established before delivery.

The remote controller default is set to Mode 2 and CE compliance before delivery. Both the operating mode and

compliance version can be configuredin PHANTOM RC Assistant Software. Please referto <PHANTOM

RCAssistant> and <ComplianceConfiguration> for details.

           Compliance Version: The PHANTOM 2 VISION+ remote controlleris compliant with CE and FCC (see the

           FCC ID) regulations.

           Operating Mode: The remote controller is divided to Mode 1 and Mode 2 according to different channel

            mappings.

           Mode 1: The left stick is mapped to throttle channel.

           Mode 2: The right stick is mapped to throttle channel.

           The range extender and mobile device holder is already mounted on the remote controller. Twist mobile

           device holder to face outwards and fix in position to prepare for mobile device installation.

           It is recommended not to use oversized mobile devices (e.g. iPad), which cannot be placed into the

           Mobile Device Holder.

 3.      Toggle the power switch to right end to switch on the power.

 4.      There is a power on indicator beep. If the remote controller is set to be CE compliant, then there will be

         one beep while the FCCcompliant version will emit 2 beeps. The power indicator blinks greenquickly

         indicating the remote controller and receiver are binding. Once binding is completed, the power

         indicator will change to a solid green.




           (1) If the low voltage warning alert sounds(refer to the <Remote Controller Power Indicator Status

                   Information>), please replace batteries as soon as possible.

           (2) For long term storage, be sure to remove the batteries from the remote controller.

           (3) Dispose the depleted batteries safely.

                                           operating of the remote controller.



           The remote controllerwill blink the LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below3.9V and

           automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote

           controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, the remote controllerwill automatically

           power off causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode which cannot be interrupted (refer to <Failsafe

           Function> section for details). It is strongly recommended to replace batteries immediatelyif the low

           voltage warning(3.9V-4.5V) occurs.

position. Users should follow their local regulations accordingly.




                                                                  CE     FCC
           (1) When adjusting the potentiometer knob to its limit position, be very careful to prevent

                   damaging the potentiometer knob. Do not apply too much force during this adjustment. Also be

                   sure to use the correct sized screwdriver.

           (2) CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 300 meters in open spaces due

                   to power limitations. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION+will

                   enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it fliesbeyond this range.

           (3) FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 500 meters in open spaces. Be sure to watch

                   your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION+will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go

                   home and land) if it fliesbeyond this range.

           (4) Pay attention to and follow local laws and regulations.

           (1) The remote controller comes set for CE compliance up delivery as the default setting.

           (2) It is recommended to use a flathead screwdriver of Φ2.4mm for adjustment.

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 500 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other

sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the range extender functions

properly. Otherwise 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 label

as ‘Phantom_XXXXXX’. The ‘XXXXXX’ represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the range

extender, users can rename the “XXXXXX” part in DJI VISION App.

Flight
After the installation is completed,it’s recommended to take flight trainings refer to PHANTOM PILOT TRAINING

GUIDE to enhance your flight skills or take adequate flight trainingsessions (such as running simulation or

coaching by the experienced user) before you use the aircraft for the first time. Ensure that you have selected a

proper location and environment for your flight.



Flight Environment Requirement

 (1) Do not use the aircraft in the severe weather conditions, which include gale force winds (wind speed

         exceeds category 4), snowy, rainy and smog day.

 (2) Chose an open filed as the flight field, where no high building may block the flight route. Also the building

         with significant amount of steel structures may affect the accuracy of the compass on the aircraft.

 (3) Keep your aircraft away from any obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or the surface of the

         water at all time when your aircraft is in the air.

 (4) To eliminate the electromagneticinterferences to the remote controller, ensure that your aircraft is not

         operating in the complex electromagnetic environment (such as staying close the base station or radio

         transmitting tower).

 (5) The aircraft cannot operate within the polar cycles.

 (6) Do not flight the aircraft in the no-fly zone specified by the local laws or regulations.




1 Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures prior to the first flight.The compass is very

sensitive to electromagnetic interferencewhich causes abnormal compass dataand leads topoorflight performance

or even flight failure. Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level.

         (1)    DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic

                interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground.

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

                phones



1.1 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 details on the compass calibration.

2 Starting the Motors
A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the throttle stick up.

Push both sticks to their bottom corners as indicated in the diagram below to start the motors. Once the motors

have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously.

There are two methods to stop motors.

Method 1: Conduct CSC again and motors will stop immediately.

Method 2: When the aircraft has descended to the ground, push the throttle stick to its lowest position and hold,

motors will stop 3 seconds later.




         You SHOULD NOTexecute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft

         to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control.



3Takeoff/Landing Procedures
 1. Place the PHANTOM 2 VISION+ on an open flat ground with battery indicators are facingtowards you.

 2. Power on the remote controller and the range extender, then the intelligent battery.

 3. Launch the DJI VISION APP and start the bindingprocess between the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2

     VISION+. After the binding is completed, enter the camera preview page.

 4. Wait until the LED flight indicator starts to slowly blink green/yellow. This means the aircraft is initializing

     and entering the “Ready to Fly”/“Ready to Fly (non-GPS).” state. Then proceed to execute the CSC

     command to start motors.

 5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to <Remote Controller Operation

     Mode>for more details.

 6. Enjoy your flight while capturing and recording with the DJI VISION App. Refer to the<DJI VISION App

     Usage> for more details.

 7. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down on the throttle stick gently to descend and land.

 8. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 to 5 seconds

     which will automatically stop the motors.

 9. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3seconds

     which will automatically stop the motors.

           (1)     When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into

                   Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function>for details.

           (2)     A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or

                   rapidly during flight. Refer to the<Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details.

           (3)     Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight

                   information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training.



4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe modewhen the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control

system will automatically control the aircraft toreturn to home and land to reduce injuries or damage.

           Home Point:When the aircraft enters into the “Ready to Fly” statusfrom the“Ready to Fly status

           (non-GPS)”, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point.

           1)      When remote controller signal is lost, PHANTOM 2 VISION will use the recorded the home

                   point coordinates as the home point for landing.

           2)      Home point coordinates will be used to calculate the horizontally distance of the aircraft

                   (shown as “D” on the GUI of the DJI VISION app).

           3)      After successfully record the home point, you can see a fast blink of LED flight indicators on

                   the aircraft.



4.1 Possible Failsafe Scenario
 (1) The remote controller is powered 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 thedistance the signal can travel.

 (4) There is interferencecausing a signal problem with the remote controller.



4.2Failsafe Procedure
Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in the different landing process. There are two

types flying status that may affect the Failsafe landing process, one is “Ready to Fly” status and the other is “Ready

to Fly (non-GPS)” status. The differences between these two statuses are shown as below:

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

 The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft

 may be drifting during 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 figure below demonstrates the complete Failsafe landing process when the aircraft entered the Failsafe from

the “Ready to Fly” status.

5Low Battery Capacity Warning Function
The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears,

users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 VISION+ has two levels of

low battery capacity warning. The default warning low battery threshold are 30% (first level warning) and 15%

(second level warning) respectively.



First Level Battery Low Warning

 When battery level drops below 30%, the LED indicators will blink red slowly and the DJI VISION app will

produce the alarm to notify the user. Refer to<DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning>for more

information.



Second Level Battery Low Warning

When the battery level drops below 15%, the LED indicators will blink red rapidly. At the meantime, the aircraft

will gently descent to the ground. The PHANTOM 2 VISION+ will also begin to descend and land automatically.

After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC; refer to<Starting the Motors> for more

information about how to execute the CSC. The other option is to push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft

and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing.

           When battery low warning is triggered, you must bring the aircraft back to the home point to avoid

           losing the power for the aircraft.



DJI VISION App Low Battery Capacity Warning

DJI VISION App will show low battery capacity warnings.

(1) A red rectangle will blink on the camera screen.

(2) Audible alarm. Make sure the sound is turned on and volume is turned up on your mobile device.

(3) The aircraft battery icon will turn red.
