Introduction
The Phantom 3 Advanced is a brand new quadcopter capable of capturing HD video and transmitting
an HD video signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to maximize stability and
weight eficiency while minimizing space. Even when no GPS signal is available, Vision Positioning system provides hovering precision.
Feature Highlights
Product Profile
Camera and Gimbal: The Phantom 3 Advanced camera records video at up to 1080P and it is capable of
capturing 12 megapixel stills.
HD Video Downlink: Low latency, HD downlink powered by an enhanced version of the DJI Lightbridge
system.
DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery employs new battery cells and a battery management system.
Flight Controller: The next generation light controller system provides a more reliable light experience. A
new light recorder stores the light data from each light, and Vision Positioning enhances hovering precision when lying indoors and no GPS is available.

the flight controller, Vision Positioning
System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Phantom 3 Advanced’s light controller is based on DJI light controller with several enhancements
such as new light mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home
Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The light controller
can stores crucial light data to the on-board storage device for each light.
Flight Mode
Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the light mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight
Mode Switch” on P24 for more information.
Flight Status Indicator
The Phantom 3 Advanced comes with the Front LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these
LEDs are shown in the igure below:
Aircraft Status Indicator
Front LED
The Front shows the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red. Aircraft Status Indicator
shows the system status of the light controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the
Aircraft Status Indicator:

11
Aircraft
Three light modes are available. The details of each light mode are found in the section 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 Advanced depending on signal strength
of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors :
P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering
P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,
so only altitude is controlled.
A mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its
barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically return home if remote control signal is lost if the Home
Point is 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) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases
that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. The remaining
part of this section will describe these three cases in details.
GPS
Home Point
Description
The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the
GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through
the GPS icon (
). Aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when
home point is recorded.
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P28 for more information) or tap the
RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to start Smart RTH. The aircraft returns to the latest
recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH.
Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit
Smart RTH and regain the control.

Aircraft
The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that
may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately
when these warnings are prompted. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point
when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is
taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The
thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its
distance from the Home Point.
Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land from the
current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the landing
process.
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual
When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land
automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more
appropriate location for landing.
Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator relect estimated remaining light time
and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft’s current status.
Failsafe RTH
Aircraft
Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for
more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working
normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if
a remote controller signal is resumed.

Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an
suitable Failsafe altitude before each light. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter “Camera” view
and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.
Aircraft will stop ascending and return to the Home Point immediately if throttle stick is moved
during the Failsafe RTH procedure
Dynamic Home Point
Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home Point that is
different from the takeoff point. You may only use the Dynamic Home Point feature on the GPS - enabled
mobile device.
Ensure the space above the GPS module is not obstructed when using Dynamic Home Point.
