3 Preparing the Remote Controller

The PHANTOM 2 VISION remote control is a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency band. It is compliant with CE and FCC (see the FCC ID) regulations and is set to Mode 2 before delivery. The compliance version can be configured by twisting the potentiometer knob on the back of the remote controller.

The stick configuration can also be reset in the PHANTOM RC Assistant Software. Please refer to < PHANTOM

RC Assistant> and <Compliance Configuration> for details.

(1) CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 300 meters in open spaces due

(3)

(2) to power limitations. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter

Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range.

FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 500 meters in open spaces. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range.

Pay attention to and follow local laws and regulations.

command stick results in faster aircraft rotation velocity.

The pitch stick controls the aircraft’s front & back tilt.

Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward.

Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered.

Increasing movement of the command stick will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum is 35˚) and faster flight velocity.

The roll stick controls the aircraft left & right tilt.

Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left.

Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right.

The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered.

Increasing movement of the command stick will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum is 35˚) and faster flight velocity.

4 Preparing the Range Extender

The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device

(Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the range extender functions properly. Otherwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2

VISION.

Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the back label as ‘Phantom_xxxxxx’. The ‘xxxxxx’ represents the last six letters or numbers of the MAC address for the range extender.

7.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes

 It’s suggested you purchase a new battery after you have discharged your current battery over 300 times.

 It’s recommended to charge and discharge the battery thoroughly once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Users should discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Refer to the DJI VISION App for an exact readout of the battery percentage level. You should then fully recharge the battery to maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will ensure the battery is working at its optimal level.

 Turn the power OFF when you have finished flying and remove the battery from its compartment.

NEVER plug or unplug the battery into the aircraft when it is powered on.

 Take the battery out of the aircraft after every flight and store the battery in a safe and secure place. For long term storage please place the battery with only a 40~50% capacity in a strong battery box securely.

We recommend discharging and charging the battery completely once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. The capacity should be varied in such a cycle (40%~50%)

—0%—100%—(40%~50%).

 Adhere to the notes for the battery in the disclaimer and regard safety as your first priority.

 The battery should be charged in an environment that is between 10

℃ to 40℃, and be discharged in an environment that is between -20

℃ to 60℃. Both charging and discharging should be in an environment that the relative humidity is lower than 80%.

 It’s suggested that you purchase a new battery if the current battery is swollen or damaged in any way.

 Never try to recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way.

 Never charge the battery unattended. Always charge the battery on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and never near any flammable materials.

8.2 Built-in Flight Control System Instructions

The built-in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft’s functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards), Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller contains the MC (Main Controller), IMU, GPS, compass, receiver and LED indicators. The IMU (Inertial

Measurement Unit) has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote controller and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modules together.

8.3 LED Flight Indicators Description

After powering on the intelligent battery, the LED flight indicators light up to show the aircraft’s current status.

10 Calibrating the Compass

IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures prior to the first flight.

The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level.

10.1 Calibration Warnings

(1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic

(2)

(3) interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground.

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

Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly.

10.2 Calibration Procedures

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM

2 VISION for more compass calibration details.

11 Flight

11.1 Flying Environment Requirements

(1) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.).

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

(2)

(3)

DO NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog.

The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass.

Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc.

Try to avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. (No base stations or cell towers around)

The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole.

All parts must be kept out of the reach of children to avoid CHOKING HAZARDS; if a child has accidentally swallowed any part, you should seek immediate medical assistance.

11.2 Starting the Motors

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

This is a safety precaution to prevent the motors from accidentally spinning up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners as indicated in the diagram below to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. The same combination stick command (CSC) is used to stop the motors.

11.3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures

Enjoy your flight while capturing and recording with the DJI VISION App. Refer to the<DJI VISION App

Usage> for more details.

Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down on the throttle stick gently to descend and land.

After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 to 5 seconds which will automatically stop the motors.

(1)

(2)

(3)

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control.

When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into

Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details.

A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Refer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details.

Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information.

11.4 Failsafe Function

The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode:

(1) The remote controller is powered off.

(2) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller.

(3) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel.

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.

Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode.

Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---- Automatic landing

The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may be drifting during descent and landing process.

Ready to Fly ---- Automatic go home and land

The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

©2013-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.

32 |

Home Point

When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.

In a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically.

In Phantom 2 Vision mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “Ready to fly” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controller from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2 VISION. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of “home point” is: i) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 VISION returns to when the control signal is lost, which is recorded last time. ii) The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the distance will be displayed on the DJI VISION App.

11.5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function

The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 VISION has two levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the second when it has less than 15%.

When battery power drops below 30% an LED indicator will blink red slowly and an alert will show on the DJI

VISION app; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning>. At lower than 15% the LED indicator will blink red rapidly and the DJI VISION app will sound an alarm; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery

Capacity Warning>. The PHANTOM 2 VISION will also begin to descend and land automatically. After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC; refer to <Starting the Motors>.

If you push the throttle stick above the mid-point, the PHANTOM 2 VISION will ascend slowly. Use the throttle, pitch, roll and yaw sticks normally to find a more appropriate landing area if required.

There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing.

Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling up on the throttle.)

DJI VISION App Low Battery Capacity Warning

DJI VISION App will show low battery capacity warnings.

(1) A red rectangle will blink on the camera screen.

14 TroubleshootingFAQ

14.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error?

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) and the aircraft will not take off. Below are possible situations where the

Remote Controller’s stick(s) mid-point margins of error could be too big:

(1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick position (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the

PHANTOM 2 VISION.

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the PHANTOM 2

VISION to re-record the mid-point. If the problem persists, this can be caused by scenario (2).

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed which leads to a large deviation of the mid-point position.

Solution: Use the Assistant Software to perform a Remote Controller calibration. To do so, carry out the following procedures.

(a) Connect to the Assistant Software, tap Basic-> RC-> Command Sticks Calibration, and push all Remote

Controller sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outer most position.

(b) Power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Note that a power cycle is required.

(c) Redo the Remote Controller calibration according to the Assistant Software.

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair.

14.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session?

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for the video file to be restored.

14.3 Failure to acquire the SSID.

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to “WIFI ON.”

14.4 What to do if PHANTOM 2 VISION is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost?

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land at the Home point automatically. Please make sure there are no obstacles within the go home route and you are familiar with the regaining control procedure.

14.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time.

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the PHANTOM 2 VISION.

©2013-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.

55 |

14.6 Files fail to synchronize.

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices also fail to support synchronization of the 1080i60 video files.

14.7 Albums fail to synchronize.

Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings ->Private->Photos->DJI

VISION. Otherwise the Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device.

14.8 Failure to share.

Solution: Please make sure the mobile device has access to the Internet.

14.9 Some mobile Android devices have a problem connecting to the PHANTOM 2 VISION

Wi-Fi Extender.

Solution: Some mobile Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. When trying to connect to the PHANTOM 2 VISION Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection.

If no Internet connection is found because the PHANTOM 2 VISION creates a non-routable connection it will drop the PHANTOM 2 VISION Wi-Fi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the

Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the

“Menu” button. Select “Advanced” then uncheck the “Auto network switch”. You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable but just ignore this message.

14.10 Usage tips for the App used on multiple mobile devices.

During flight, if you use the App on multiple mobile devices, please turn off the App on the first mobile device, and then turn on the App on the second one to ensure the App can work normally on the second mobile device.

14.11 How to land the aircraft smoothly in a better way?

First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors.

14.12 Why the discharge times of a new battery not at zero?

A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use.
