power off causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to the

Failsafe Function (Page 32) for details). It is strongly recommended to replace batteries if the

3.9V-4.5V low voltage warning occurs.

3.3 Remote Controller Power Indicator Status Information

3.4 Antenna Orientation

Try to keep the antenna pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground, in order to achieve the maximum

communication range during flight.

Definitions

The ‘stick neutral’ positions and ‘stick released’ mean the control sticks of the remote controller are placed at

the central position.

To ‘move the stick’ means that the stick of remote controller is pushed away from the central position.

Operation details

The throttle stick controls aircraft altitude/elevation.

Push the stick up and the aircraft will rise.

Pull the stick down and the aircraft will descend.

The aircraft will automatically hover and hold its height

if the sticks are centered.

Push the throttle stick above the centered (mid-point)

position to make the aircraft take-off. When flying, we

suggest that you push the throttle stick slowly to

prevent the aircraft from sudden and unexpected

elevation changes.

OFF CAM ON WIFI ON

MICRO SD

The remote controller’s antenna should be

pointing skyward with no obstacles in the way.

Otherwise, the Failsafe function may initialize

prematurely during flight.

The Mobile Device and Range Extender should

not block the antenna.

3.5 Remote Controller Operation

The yaw stick controls the aircraft rudder.

Push the stick left and the aircraft will rotate counter

clock-wise.

Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate

clock-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will

remain facing the same direction.

The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of

the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center

results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity.

The pitch stick controls the aircraft’s front & back tilt.

Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly

forward.

Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly

backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the

stick is centered.

Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center

will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35˚) and

faster flight velocity.

The roll stick controls the aircraft’s left & right tilt.

Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left.

Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right.

The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is

centered.

Pushing the stick further away from center will result in

a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35˚) and faster flight

velocity.

Position-1 Position-2 Position-3

S1 is for compass calibration. Toggle the S1 from

position-1 to position-3 and back to position-1 at least

6-10 times, which will force the aircraft to enter into

compass calibration mode.

(1)

It is recommended to use a flathead screwdriver of Φ 2.4mm for adjustment.

You can use the DJI screwdriver with the flathead for adjustment.

There is another potentiometer reserved.

4 Preparing the Range Extender

The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz

frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device

(Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach

up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other

sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the range extender functions

properly. Otherwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2

VISION.

Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the

back label as ‘Phantom_xxxxxx’. The ‘xxxxxx’ represents the last six letters or numbers of the MAC address

for the range extender.
