There are two options for Dynamic Home Point.
1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point.
2. Set the mobile device's coordinate as the new Home Point.
Setting Up Dynamic Home Point

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Advanced is powered on. No manual
action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available.

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) in fast speed.
Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar
sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

3. Auto-discharging Function: The battery automatically discharges to below 65% of total power when
it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent swelling. It takes around 2 days to discharge the battery to
65%. It is normal to feel moderate heat emitting from the battery during the discharge process. Dis-
charge thresholds can be set in the DJI Pilot app.
4. Balanced Charging: Automatically balances the voltage of each battery cell when charging.
5. Over charge Protection: Charging automatically stops when the battery is fully charged.
6. Temperature Detection: The battery will only charge when the temperature is between 0°C(32°F) and
40°C (104°F).
7. Over Current Protection: Battery stops charging when high amperage (more than 8 A) is detected.
8. Over Discharge Protection: Discharging automatically stops when the battery voltage reaches 12 V to
prevent over-discharge damage
9. Short Circuit Protection: Automatically cuts the power supply when a short circuit is detected.
10. Battery Cell Damages Protection: DJI Pilot app shows warning message when damaged battery cell
is detected.
