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 subject to the surface you are ying over.

The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing

materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are

not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

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 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.

The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 3 meters.

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

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.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

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

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not ying in the area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including base stations or radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when ying 19, 685 feet (6000 m) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be affected.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the ight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The ight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in “P” Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage ight. In “A” mode only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 1640 feet (500 m) .

Once complete, your Phantom 3 Advanced will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

A Safety Zone

Category

(1) The

category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no-y zone” and a range of “restricted-altitude

zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no-y zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restrict-

ed-altitude zone.

(2)

radius of R1 miles (km) around a designated safety zone is a no-y zone, inside which takeoff is

prevented. The value of R1 is determined by the size of the airport.

From

(4)

R1 to R1 + 1 miles (R1 + 1.6 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum

altitude going from 66 feet (20 m) at R1 miles to 1640 feet (500 m) at R1 + 1 miles (R1 + 1.6 km).

“warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you y within 320 feet (100m) of the

safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Pilot App.

seconds, then switch to indicate current ying status and continue for 5 seconds at which point

it will switch back to red blinking.

For safety reasons, please do not y close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines,

city centers and other special areas. Maintain line of sight of the aircraft.

PreightChecklist

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

Propellers are mounted correctly and rmly.

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

4. Gimbal is functioning as normal.

5. Motors can start and are functioning as normal.

6. DJI Pilot app connected to the aircraft.

Calibrating the Compass

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very

sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor ight

performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.

DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.

DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. DO NOT calibrate indoors.

Calibration Procedures

Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.

1. Ensure

the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you

have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap “MODE” in the app and select “Compass

Calibration” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions.

Hold

and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a

solid green light.

When to Recalibrate

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow.

2. When ying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last ight.

3. When the mechanical structure of the Phantom 3 Advanced has changed.

4. When severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. Phantom 3 Advanced does not y in straight line.

Auto-Landing

Page 33

Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual

Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto-landing:

1. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode.

2. Check the landing area condition before tapping “

”, to perform landing.

Starting/Stopping the Motors

Starting Motors

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up.

Push

both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both

sticks simultaneously.

Stopping Motors

There are two methods to stop the motors.

Method

1: When Phantom 3 Advanced has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC

tors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop.

Method

2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3

seconds.

1. Go through the checklist before each ight.

2. Select desired gimbal operation mode in the DJI Pilot app.

3. Shoot the video when ying in P mode only.
