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 swells up or is damaged in any way.

(6) Never recharge or y with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way.

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-ammable surface such as concrete and

never near any ammable materials.

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer.

Discharging methods:

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

reducing wear.

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer 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 ight, 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.

If compass calibration is needed before ight, 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 ight indicator will blink red and yellow.

(2) Flying in different location to last ight.

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

(4) Severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. Phantom does not y 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. Push both sticks to their bottom 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.

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.

Figure 49

Figure 50 Figure 51

[

(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.

Starting/Stopping the Motors / Flight Test

Flight

When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during ight, 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 Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during

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

View tutorials about ight for more ight 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 ying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance

may be reduced.

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips

(1) Work through the check list before each ight.

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized.

(3) Aim to shoot when ying in Ready to Fly only.

(4) Always y 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 ight tests to establish ight 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 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.

When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land.

Home point coordinates 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 ight indicators blink fast green.

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specic time intervals.

Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision 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 Controller is powered off.

(2) The Phantom has own out of effective remote controller 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 ying 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.

6 Flight Limits

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO

(International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the ight limits

function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The ight limits function includes height,

distance limits and No Fly Zones.

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage ight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS)

status, only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 120m.

Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the denitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace

Denition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to congure these parameters to

comply with these rules before ying.

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limits ying height and distance. Conguration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will y in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

When ying in the safety zone, LED ight indicators will blink red quickly and continue for 3 seconds,

then switch to indicate current ying status and continue for 5 seconds at which point it will switch back to red

blinking.

For safety reasons, please do not y close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers and

other special areas. Try to ensure the aircraft is visible.

Figure 59:Category A Figure 60: Category B

Category A Safety Zone

(1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no-y zone” and a range of “restricted-altitude zones”. Flight

is prevented in the “no-y zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone.

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-y zone, inside which takeoff is prevented.

(3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from

35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at 5 miles (8 km).

(4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you y within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a

warning message will appear on the DJI Vision app.

Category B Safety Zone

(1) Category B “safety zone” is comprised of a “no-y zone” and a “warning zone”.

(2) 0.6 miles (1 km) around the safety zone is a designated “no-y zone”.

(3) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you y within 0.6 miles (1Km) of this zone, a warning

will appear on the DJI Vision app.

DJI VISION App Usage

ftft

Ready to Fly

7.2 Using Ground Station

Step 1 Launching Ground Station:

Enable ground station in the Settings section of the DJI Vision app. A disclaimer for Ground Station will appear. Read

this thoroughly before using Ground Station.

Ensure your mobile device has access to the Internet. Due to the map data required, Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

Internet access is required to cache the ground station map, if Wi-Fi is unavailable, mobile data service is required. Open

the DJI Vision app camera GUI and swipe left to launch ground station(see Figure 101). DJI Vision app cannot connect

to your aircraft while it is accessing the Internet. Hence, you may prompt with the warning message such as “Connection

to Phantom Failed”. This message will not appear when your aircraft is re-connected to DJI Vision app. Map data of your

current location will load. You can then drag the map to cache nearby areas for future use(see Figure 102).

Step 2 Setting a Waypoint:

Disconnect from the Internet and connect the DJI Vision app to your aircraft. Check that remote controller S1 switch is in

position (position-1) and the upper left corner in ground station display and wait for the aircraft to enter “Ready-

to-Fly” mode (LED indicator blinking green) before swiping left into ground station. Tap on the map to place a waypoint.

You can place up to 16 waypoints including the Home point. Waypoints cannot be placed beyond 500m from the Home

point or inside No Waypoint Areas.

Figure 101 Figure 102

Figure 103

Figure 104

Ground Station

DJI VISION App Usage

A circle on the map, as shown in Figure 104, indicates a restricted, No Waypoint area. Waypoints cannot be

placed in this area. For more information, refer to “6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas (P30)”.

To achieve the optimal video transmission quality, the aircraft is set to operate within a 500m-radius area from

Home point.

Tap on a waypoint to open a waypoint properties window. Slide the white dot right to adjust waypoint altitude. The

default altitude is set to 98 feet (30 m) and can be adjusted from 0 to 650 feet (200 m). Tap “OK” to save waypoint

settings. To delete current waypoint, tap

. Modify longitude and latitude value using the input box.

Step 3 Preview a Mission:

Tap “Done” to preview the mission when all waypoints are set. A prompt similar to the one below will appear.

This prompt lists all waypoints and their altitudes. The aircraft will y to each waypoint listed. If there is a difference in

altitude between waypoints, the aircraft will adjust its altitude as it ies between points. When ready, tap “GO” to begin

mission.

Figure 107

Aircraft reacts differently to the “GO” command:

If aircraft is on the ground, the aircraft takes off automatically and ascend 16 feet (5m) then fly to the first

waypoint.

If aircraft is in the air, the aircraft ies to the rst waypoint.

Step 4 Executing Flight Mission

The aircraft ies to each waypoint in numerical order. As it ies, swipe back into the DJI Vision app camera GUI to

control camera tilt and capture photos or video. Tap

to pause the mission during the ight, and aircraft will then start

hovering. Tap

to resume mission. If you wish to regain control of the aircraft, toggle the S1 switch on remote controller

from

(Position-1) to either (Position-2) or (Position-3) to discontinue the current mission.

Step 5 Landing

When all waypoints have been visited, the aircraft will return to its Home point and hover. Regain control of the aircraft

and land it manually. You may also tap

button to initiate “Go Home” procedure. Aircraft will abort current mission,

return to Home point and auto land. When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft’s position

and altitude. Users can start the motors to take off immediately after the motors have stopped following auto landing.

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 xes 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 Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position.

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration.

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller 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 Controller to DJI Customer service for repair.

3.2 How to restore a video le 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 le 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 y 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 les that are too large (le sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some

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

Appendix

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.

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the rst 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: 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?

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 ofine?

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?

If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing ight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining ight mission.

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.

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.
