2.3 Charging the Flight Battery
(1) Connect charger to wall socket (100-240V, 50/60Hz, using the Plug Adaptors if necessary).
(2) Connect battery to charger. If the current capacity of the battery is over 75%, you should turn it on before beginning
to charge.
(3) Battery Level Indicators will display current capacity level as the battery charges.
(4) Battery is fully charged when Battery Level indicator lights are off. Disconnect the charger and battery when charging
The Smart Flight Battery can be charged using an optional Phantom 2 Car Charger. This can charge the battery
in-car or through 3S-6S Li-Po batteries. Contact your authorized dealer or DJI customer service for details.
Battery should only be charged with the charger provided by DJI. DJI does not take any responsibility for
damage caused by third party chargers.
If current battery level is over 75%, the battery should be turned on before charging.
2.4 Battery Installation
Push battery into battery compartment according to the below diagram. When you hear a click, the battery has been
properly installed.
An incorrectly installed battery may cause
Bad contact,

2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes
(1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom.
(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until
there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power
cycling procedure will optimize the battery.
(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40~50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge
the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance
charges - (40%~50%)—0%—100%—(40%~50%).
(4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a
battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly.
(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way.
(6) Never recharge or y with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way.
(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-ammable surface such as concrete and
never near any ammable materials.
(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer.
Discharging methods:
Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery
can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on,
reducing wear.
Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be
The Phantom 2 Vision+ is a quadrotor with a built-in Flight Control System with integrated gimbal and camera. It features
an FC Assistant Port, Camera Data Port and a specialized battery compartment for its ight battery. All these features

3.2 Built-in Flight Control System
The Phantom 2 Vision+ is equipped with a DJI Naza-M V2 Flight Control System. This provides incredible ease of use
and stability. Pilots can control the Phantom’s movements in many directions, including pitch (forwards and backwards),
roll (left and right), elevator (up and down) and yaw (turn left or right). The ight control system also can provide IOC,
Failsafe and battery level warnings.
Modules Functions
Flight Controller
IMU
GPS & Compass
LED Flight IndicatorsIndicates the status of ight control system.
Acts as the brains of the complete flight control system, responsible for connecting and
controlling all the modules together.
Has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and
altitude.
The compass reads geomagnetic information and assists the GPS (Global Position System)
to accurately calculate the position and height of the aircraft.
Preparing the Phantom 2 Vision+
FC Assistant Port
The ight control system communicates with the PC Assistant through a Micro-USB cable between the Phantom FC
Assistant Port and the PC. Users can use Assistant to congure the aircraft and upgrade the Phantom rmware. Please
refer to Using the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant (Page 46) for details.
LED ight indicators are found at the front and the rear of the Phantom. Front LEDs are for indicating where the nose of
the aircraft is. They light up solid red after motors have started spinning. Rear LED Flight Indicators light up to show the
aircraft’s current ight status once the ight battery is powered on. For details, please see the below table.

3.4 3-axial Stabilized Gimbal
The 3-axial stabilized gimbal of the Phantom 2 Vision+
will power on and self-check each time the ight battery
is installed and powered on. Its pitch can be controlled
using the DJI VISION App. This gimbal has two working
modes, Non-FPV mode and FPV mode, with the Non-FPV
mode set as default. This can be congured in Phantom 2
Vision+ Assistant or the DJI VISION App.
Non-FPV Mode: the gimbal will stabilize across 3-axial for smooth aerial creativity.FPV Mode (First Person View Mode): Gimbal will lock to the movements of the Phantom for a FPV experience.
Preparing the Phantom 2 Vision+
Anti-drop Kit
The Anti-drop Kit helps keep the gimbal and camera
connected to the aircraft. Two have been mounted on
delivery. If new ones are required, take the gimbal and
press part [1] through the center hole of the Vibration
Absorber the center hole of part [2]. Lock them together
as shown in [3]. Mounting the Anti-drop Kit diagonally is
recommended.
Once part [1] and part [2] are connected, the Anti-drop Kit cannot be disconnected and reused.

Micro-SD Slot
With ight battery powered off, make sure the Micro-SD
card is inserted correctly into the Micro-SD Slot before
taking any photos or recording any video.
The Phantom 2 Vision+ comes with a 4GB Micro-SD card
and can support cards up to 32GB. The DJI VISION App
may not be able to read some Micro-SD cards. Using
the DJI VISION App to reformat new Micro-SD cards is
recommended.
Refer to Format Micro-SD Card (Page 37) for details.
Do not insert or remove Micro-SD card when ight battery is powered on.
Figure 15
Gimbal Error Warnings
Before the aircraft takes off, if a gimbal motor error is detected or the gimbal clamp is not removed, there will be a
warning prompt on the camera page of the DJI VISION App. This will disappear after the problem is resolved.
Remove gimbal clamp before powering on ight battery.
Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) Gimbal has
received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from at, open ground and protect the
gimbal after powering up.
Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The gimbal will recover
when it dries out.
3.5 Camera
The Phantom 2 Vision+ camera powers up when the ight battery has been installed and switched on. Photos and
videos can be shot by pressing either the onboard button or the DJI VISION App. For aerial photography it supports
burst shots, continuous capture and timed capture, and exports to both Adobe DNG Raw and JPEG. For aerial video, it
shoots in full HD at (1080p30/1080i60) and can even shoot 720p60 for internet ready slow motion.

4.4 Notes
(1) Check that propellers and motors are installed correctly and rmly
before every ight.
(2) Ensure that all propellers are in good condition before each ight.
DO NOT use any ageing, chipped, or broken propellers.
(3) To avoid injury, STAND CLEAR of and DO NOT touch propellers or
motors when they are spinning.
(4) ONLY use original DJI propellers for a better and safer ight experience.
