This section describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Matrice 200 ight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe
and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if control signal is lost.
The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode

The following ight modes are available for Matrice 200:
P-mode (Positioning) :
P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient, the maximum
flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing is disabled, the maximum flight attitude angle is 30°. When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control altitude. Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve higher speeds.
S-mode (Sport):
The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode. Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick movements.
A-mode (Attitude):
When neither the GPS nor the Vision Systems are available, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in A-mode.
The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight path. Be vigilant and stay clear of nearby obstacles.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.
Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.
The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking
distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to select aircraft ight modes.

MATRICE 200 User Manual
Atti Mode Warning The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances: Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the Vision System is unavailable.
Active: Users toggle the ight mode switch to A-mode.
In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position or auto-brake in this mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difcult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make sure you are comfortable ying in this mode. DO NOT y the aircraft too far away as you might lose
control and cause a potential hazard.
Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential ight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as
possible.

Flight Status Indicator

The aircraft features Front LEDs, a Rear LED, and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these
LEDs are shown in the gure below:
Aircraft Status Indicator
Rear LEDFront LED
The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. Front and rear LEDs can be turned off in the
DJI GO 4 app. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the ight controller.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the aircraft, in­cluding [1] [3] stereo vision sensors and [2] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision Sys tem uses ultra­sound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the Matrice 200 to avoid them by going over, going around, or hovering. The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top of the aircraft. These scan
for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain ight modes.

MATRICE 200 User Manual
The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System is affected by the surface
being own over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when
operating above sound-absorbing materials and the cameras may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations.
The Vision System will be disabled when: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).
b) Flying over highly reective surfaces.
c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e) Flying in an areas where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
f) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.
g) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. h) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling). i) Flying at high speeds of over 31 mph (50 kph) at 2 meters or over 11 mph (18 kph) at
1 meter. The Ultrasonic sensors will be disabled when: a) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).
b) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.
The Infrared be disabled when:
a) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reective surface.
b) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.
Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness. Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.
The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.
The Vision 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 System is in
operation.
Keep away from animals while operating the aircraft, as the ultrasonic sensors emit high­frequency sounds which may disturb them.

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: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three RTH types in detail.

Home Point
GPS
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon GPS signal. The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.
MATRICE 200 User Manual
The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and
lighting conditions are sufcient. The aircraft will automatically ascend to avoid obstacles and
descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home while facing
forward, it cannot rotate or y left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is
enabled.
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 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. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. 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.
Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)
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 prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten­second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. If the RTH procedure is cancelled following a low battery level warning the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.
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 cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.
The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH*
The aircraft can sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will act as follows:
1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far away as 984 feet (300 meters)
in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home.
2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.

DJI AirSense

Manned aircraft with an ADS-B transceiver will actively broadcast flight information including location, flight path, speed, and altitude. DJI AirSense receives this by ADS-B transceivers via an on-board receiver or internet connection. UAVs installed DJI AirSense can obtain the position, orientation and velocity information from the manned airplane built-in ADS-B transmitter (1090 ES and UAT standard supported), calculate the collision risk level real time and send the warning to user. The system will analyze the potential risk of collision by comparing the location of a manned aircraft, sending timely warnings to pilots via the DJI GO or DJI GO 4 app.
DJI AirSense provides users with information about nearby manned aircraft to ensure ight safety. The system doesn’t actively control the drone to avoid incoming aircraft. Always y your aircraft
within a visual line of sight and be cautious at all times. Lower your altitude when you receive warnings. Please be aware that DJI AirSense has the following limitations:
1. It can only receive messages sent by manned aircraft installed with an ADS-B out device and in accordance with 1090ES (RTCA DO-260) or UAT (RTCA Do-282) standards. DJI devices will not receive related broadcast messages or send out warnings for manned aircraft without ADS-B outs or with malfunctioning ADS-B outs.
2. If there is an obstacle or steel structure between civil and DJI aircraft, the system won’t be able to receive ADS-B messages sent by manned aircraft or send out warnings. Keenly observe your
surroundings and y with caution.
3. Warnings may be sent with delay when the DJI AirSense is interfered by the surrounding. Keenly
observe your surroundings and y with caution.
4. Warnings are not sent when a DJI aircraft is unable to determine its location.
5. It cannot receive ADS-B messages sent by manned aircraft or send out warnings when disabled
or miscongured.
On the precondition that connection between a DJI aircraft and the pilot remote controller is stable,
when the system conrms the possibility of a collision, it will send a series of warnings based on
the distance between drone and manned aircraft. We recommended that the operator descend
altitude immediately after the rst warning to avoid a collision, choosing another ight path where
necessary.

Remote Controller

Remote Controller Prole
The Matrice 200 remote controller is a multi-function wireless communication device that integrates a dual frequency video downlink system and the aircraft remote control system. 2.4 GHz frequency is suitable for long transmission distances in open areas while 5.8 GHz frequency* is appropriate for urban areas, being resistant to increased interference (5.8 GHz transmission is not available in some regions due to local regulations).The remote controller features many camera control functions, including photo/ video capture and gimbal control. The battery level is displayed via LED indicators on the front panel of the remote controller. When in Dual Remote Controller mode, each of the two remote controllers will control aircraft and camera separately, and up to 328 feet (100 meters) apart.
Compliance Standards: The remote controller is compliant with local laws and regulations. Stick Mode: Controls can be set to Mode 1, Mode 2, or to a custom mode. Mode 1: The right stick serves as the throttle. Mode 2: The left stick serves as the throttle.
Do not operate more than three aircraft within the same area (roughly the size of a soccer
eld) to prevent transmission interference.
* To comply with local regulations, the operation frequency of 5.8GHz is not available in some countries.

Remote Controller Operations

Flight
This section describes safe ight practices and ight restrictions.

Flight

Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. It is important to understand basic flight guidelines for the safety of both you and those around you. Refer to the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines for more information.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10
m/s, snow, rain, and fog.
2. When ying in open areas, tall and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard
compass and GPS system.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with elevated levels of electromagnetism, including base
stations and radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature. Be very careful when ying at high altitudes, as battery and aircraft performance
may be affected.
6. The compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will have to auto switch to
A-mode, using the Vision System for positioning.

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

Introduction
DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system committed to providing real-time airspace information within the scope of international laws and regulations. GEO provides flight information, flight times and location information to assist Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) users in making the best decisions related to their personal UAV use. It also includes
a unique Regional Flight Restrictions feature which provides real-time ight safety and restriction updates and blocks UAVs from ying in restricted airspace. While safety and obeying air trafc
control laws is a paramount concern, DJI recognizes the need for exceptions to be made under special circumstances. To meet this need, GEO also includes an Unlocking feature that enables users to unlock flights within restricted areas. Prior to making their flight, users must submit an unlock request based on the current level of restrictions in their area.
GEO Zones
DJI’s GEO System designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety concerns for
individual ights, and offers restricted airspace information, which can be viewed by users in real time on the DJI GO 4 app. The locations designated by GEO are called GEO Zones. GEO Zones are specic ight areas that are categorized by ight regulations and restrictions. GEO Zones that prohibit ight are implemented around locations such as airports, power plants, and prisons. They can also be temporarily implemented around major stadium events, forest res, or other emergency situations. Certain GEO Zones do not prohibit flight but do trigger warnings informing users of potential risks. All restricted ight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, and are further divided into Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, Authorization Zones, Altitude Zones, and Restricted Zones. By default, GEO limits flights into or taking off within zones that may result in safety or security concerns. There is a GEO Zone Map, which contains comprehensive global GEO Zone information on the ofcial DJI website: https://www.dji.com/ysafe.
2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.
©
59
MATRICE 200 User Manual
The GEO System is for advisory purposes only. Individual users are responsible for checking ofcial sources and determining which laws or regulations may apply to their ight. In some instances,
DJI has selected widely-recommended general parameters (such as a 1.5-mile radius at airports) without making any determination as to whether these guidelines match regulations that apply to
specic users.
GEO Zone Denitions
Warning Zones: Users receive a warning message with information relevant to their ight. Enhanced Warning Zones: Users receive a prompt from the GEO System at the time of ight. They
are required to submit an unlock request to y in the zone, for which they must conrm their ight
path. Authorization Zones: Users receive a warning message and the flight is prohibited by default.
Authorization Zones can be unlocked by authorized users with a DJI-verified account. Self-
Unlocking privileges must be applied for online.
Altitude Zones: Flights are limited to a specic altitude. Restricted Zones: Flights are completely prohibited. UAVs cannot y in these zones. If you have
obtained permission to y in a Restricted Zone, please go to https://www.dji.com/ysafe or contact ysafe@dji.com to unlock the zone.
DJI GEO Zones aim to ensure the user’s flight safety, but it cannot be guaranteed to be in full
compliance with local laws and regulations. Users should check local laws, regulations, and
regulatory requirements before each ight and are responsible for the ight safety.
All intelligent ight features will be affected when DJI aircraft y nearby or into GEO Zones. Such interference includes, but is not limited to, decreased speed, takeoff failure, and ight termination.

Flight Restrictions

Introduction
UAV operators should abide by all ight regulations established by the relevant government and
regulatory agencies, including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are restricted by default, which helps users operate DJI products safely and legally. Flight restrictions include
altitude and distance limits, and GEO Zones.
When Global Navigation Satellite Service (GNSS) is available, altitude limits, distance limits, and
GEO Zones are all taken into account to ensure ight safety. Otherwise, only altitude limits take
effect.
Maximum Altitude & Radius Restrictions
Maximum flight altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum radius restricts its distance. These limits can be set using the DJI GO 4 app.

GEO Unlocking

Due to differing laws and regulations between countries and regions, and differing ight restrictions between GEO Zones, DJI provides users with two methods for unlocking GEO Zones: Self-Unlocking
and Custom Unlocking.
Self-Unlocking is used for Authorization Zones, where the user is required to submit an unlock
request by authenticating their phone number for a registered DJI account. This feature is only available in certain countries. Users can choose whether to submit their unlock request via the web-
site at https://www.dji.com/ysafe (Scheduled Self-Unlocking), or through the DJI GO 4 app (Live
Self-Unlocking).

Calibrating the Compass

Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO 4 app or the status indicator prompts you to do so. Observe the following rules when calibrating your compass:
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference,
such as near magnets, parking structures, or steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones. The DJI GO 4 app will notify you if the compass is affected by strong interference after
calibration is complete. Follow the prompts to resolve the compass issue.
Calibration Procedures
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.
1. Tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select Calibrate, then follow the on-screen instructions.
