Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Phantom 3 4K’s light controller features several important upgrades, including a new light 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 light controller can also save critical light data from each light to the onboard storage device. The new light controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking
feature.
Flight Mode
Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the light 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 igure 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 light controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status
Indicators:

11
Aircraft
Three light modes are available. The details of each light mode are found below:
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 suficient. 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.

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
Home Point
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
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.

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
orientation during the landing process.
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 light time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location
and status.
Failsafe RTH
Aircraft
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will
be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Returnto-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote
controller signal connection is re-established.

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft lies 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 light. 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.
Failsafe Safety Notices

if you move the throttle stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet
(20m) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop
ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.
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.

Aircraft
Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the
aircraft lies 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.
Phantom 3 4K User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:
1. Toggle the light mode switch to P-mode.
2. Place the aircraft on a lat 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 lash 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.
Aircraft
The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is
lying. 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
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 relective 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 delect 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 lying 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.

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 light. 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.
