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 le ve l.
(1)
(2)
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.
DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellu lar
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 o p e n 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).” s ta te. Then proceed to execute the CSC
command to start motors.
5. Push the throttle stick up slow ly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to <Remote Controller Operation
M o de > 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 t o de scend 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.

When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into
Failsafe m o de , refer to <Failsafe Function>for details.
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.
Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight
information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training.
4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe m o de when 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
©2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.50 |
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） Aud i b le alarm. Make sure the sound is turned on and volume is turned up on your mobile device.
