dji PHANTOM Quick Start Manual

Flight Test

1. If in GPS ATTI. Mode, place the aircraft in an open space without buildings or trees. Take off the aircraft
after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (Red LED blinks once or no blinking). If in ATTI. Mode, you can
skip this step.
2. Place the aircraft 3 meters away from you and others, to avoid accidental injury.
3. Start-up
Momentarily complete one of the following stick combinations (shown below) to start the motors.
Release the sticks, and slowly raise the throttle stack from the bottom. The motors will stop if you do
not push the throttle stick from the bottom within 3 sec and you will need to execute the start-up
procedure again. When the aircraft is on the point of leaving the ground, continue to push the throttle
stick upwards to rapidly take off from the ground, pay attention not to push the stick excessively.
Pay attention to the aircraft movement at any time when flying, and use the sticks to adjust the
aircraft's position. Keep the yaw, roll, pitch and throttle sticks at the neutral position to hover the
aircraft at the desired height.
4.
Lower the aircraft slowly until touch down is achieved. The motors will stop automatically after 3
seconds, or you can repeat the start-up stick command to stop the motors sooner.
5.
Please always power off the aircraft first, and then switch off the transmitter after landing.
FLYING NOTES！ ！ ！
If in GPS ATTI. Mode, keep the aircraft flying in the open space without obstruction. Pay attention to
the GPS satellite status indicator LED. If the GPS signal is bad (red LED blink twice or three times),
switch to ATTI. Mode. You may use the GPS ATTI. Mode again after the GPS signal is back to normal
If the battery voltage is too low for flying, the aircraft enters the first level protection with LED flashing
quickly Red, please land ASAP. Once the aircraft enters the second level protection, the aircraft will
drop height automatically.
We recommend that you take off the aircraft in ATTI. Mode.
Please always switch on the transmitter first, then power on the aircraft before takeoff!
DO NOT fly near to ferromagnetic substances, to avoid strong magnetic interference with the GPS.
It is recommended to land the aircraft slowly, to prevent the aircraft from damage when landing.
If the Transmitter indicates low-battery alert, please land ASAP. In this condition the Transmitter may
cause the aircraft to go out of control or even crash.
After powering on and before the motors start, if the aircraft LED double blinks yellow or green without
Transmitter stick movement, you should power cycle the aircraft.
The aircraft will automatically land (or return home if in GPS mode) if the fail-safe mode is active.
If the LED lights Red, please hover the aircraft until it turns off, so as to have better flight performance.

Enhanced Fail-safe
 Enhanced Fail-safe will be triggered when the Main Controller loses the control signal, in these following
situations.
 Signal lost between the transmitter and receiver, e.g. aircraft is out of the communication range, or
transmitter is powered off, etc.
 One or more connections of A, E, T, R, U channels between main controller and receiver is lost. If this
happens before take-off, the motors will not work if you push the throttle stick; if this happens during
the flight, the LED will flash yellow to warn, in addition to the fail-safe method.
 The aircraft will automatically land if the fail-safe mode is active, or return home if in GPS mode.
 Before takeoff, the current position will be saved as the home point by the MC automatically when you
push the throttle stick first time, after 6 or more GPS satellites are found for more than 8 seconds.
 Make sure to save the home location before takeoff and keep it in mind clearly for safety reasons.
 When you switch to ATTI. Mode, MC will disengage enhanced failed-safe mode, you can re-gain control of
aircraft.
The following diagram shows the function of Go-Home and Landing.
The aircraft will not go home if the GPS signal is not good.
Low-Voltage Alert
Low-Voltage Alert is to indicate that the battery cannot provide enough power for the aircraft, in order to warn
you to land the aircraft ASAP. There are both first level and second level protections.
land your aircraft ASAP to prevent your aircraft from crashing or other harmful consequences!!!
In ATTI. Mode & GPS ATTI. Mode.
 The first level protection has LED warning.
 During second level protection the aircraft will land automatically with LED warning. Meanwhile the center
point of throttle stick will move up slowly to 90% of endpoint, you should land ASAP to prevent your
aircraft from crashing! When the center point is at 90% of endpoint, aircraft will still ascend slowly if you
continue to pull the throttle stick, and the control of Pitch, Roll and Yaw are the same as before.
