This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Phantom 3 SE’s ight controller features several important upgrades, including a new ight mode.

Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft

if the control signal is lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the onboard storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking

feature.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found 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 SE depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS

for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufcient.

The aircraft is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.

P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its

barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.

A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only

uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully.

F-mode (Function): Intelligent Flight Mode is activated in this mode. Refer to the Appendix for more

information.

Use the S1 switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft. The Flight Mode is locked in P Mode by default, regardless of switch position. To switch ight modes, go to Camera view in the DJI

GO app, tap

and enable “Multiple Flight Modes”.

Flight Status Indicator

The Phantom 3 SE has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown

in the gure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator

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

Description

Home Point

GPS

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Smart RTH

Tap in the DJI GO app or toggle the S2 switch on the remote controller back and forth at least twice

to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will rst ascend to the Return-to-Home altitude, then return to the last

recorded Home Point if a GPS signal is available. During the RTH procedure, you may use the remote controller to guide the aircraft around obstacles. Tap in the DJI GO app or toggle the S1 switch once to terminate Smart RTH and regain full control of the aircraft.

Phantom 3 SE User Manual

Low Battery RTH

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 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 ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point.

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 can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below:

If you move the throttle stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet (20m) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.

Vision Positioning System

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current

position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 SE can hover in place more precisely and y

indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 SE; they include [1] one monocular camera and [2] two ultrasonic sensors.

Aircraft

[1] [2]

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 SE is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable.

Phantom 3 SE User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the S1 switch to the upper most position.

2. Place the aircraft on a at surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system can-

not work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which

Aircraft

it is ying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when

operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations:

Flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying over a highly reective surfaces.

Flying at high speeds (over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design).

Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters.

The Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

The 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.

Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals.

Flight Recorder

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

Attaching and Detaching the Propellers

Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 3 SE. The silver and black nuts on the propeller indicate where they should be attached and in which direction whey should spin. To attach the propellers properly, match the nut color with the motor dot color.

Flight

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

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the ight simulator in the DJI GO app to hone your ight skills and practice ying safely. Ensure that all ights are carried out in an open

area.

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. Only y in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the on-

board compass and GPS system.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high 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 altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea

Flight

level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.

6. The Phantom 3 SE cannot operate within the polar areas.

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and

regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, ights are limited by default,

which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .

Maximum ight altitude & Radius Limits

Maximum ight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum ight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 SE will y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI ofcial website at http://www.dji.com/ysafe/no-y. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and ying elds where

manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:

Phantom 3 SE User Manual

Preight Checklist

1. Remote controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and mobile device are fully charged.

2. Propellers are mounted correctly and rmly.

3. Micro SD card has been inserted, if necessary.

4. Gimbal is functioning normally.

5. Motors can start and are functioning normally.

6. The DJI GO app is successfully connected to the aircraft.

Calibrating the Compass

Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO app or the status indicator prompt 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

Flight

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones. The DJI GO app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected by

strong interference after calibration is complete. Follow the prompted instructions to resolve the

compass issue.

Calibration Procedures

Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.

1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-ight

preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow the on-screen instructions.

2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid green light.

Phantom 3 SE User Manual

3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center axis.

4. Re-calibrate the aircraft if the aircraft status indicators blink red.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your aircraft to a different location and try again.

DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars, scaffolding. If the aircraft status indicator is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on

the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.
