Aircraft This chapter describes the features of the flight controller, Vision Positioning System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

11 Aircraft Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 4’s controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section 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 4 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Position- ing for hovering P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically return home if remote control signal is lost if the Home Point is recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on P24 for more information. Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 4 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Front LED Rear LED Aircraft Status Indicator The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the Rear LED displays solid green. Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicator:

There are three cases that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. GPS Description Home Point The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon ( ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. Smart RTH Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P28 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.

13 Phantom 4 User Manual Aircraft 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 these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below Critical Low battery level warning(Red) Low battery level warning(Yellow) Sufficient battery   level(Green) Remaining flight time Power requires to return home Battery level Indicator Battery Level Warning Remark Aircraft Status Indicator DJI Pilot app Flight Instructions Low battery level warning The battery power is low.

Phantom  4  User Manual Aircraft Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 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 subject to the surface you are flying 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 reflective 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 deflect 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 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying 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. Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 4. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly, match the nut with the dots on the motors of your Phantom 4.

Gimbal Camera This chapter provides the technical specifications of the camera, explains the working mode of the gimbal.

31 Gimbal Camera Camera and Gimbal Camera Profile The on-board camera supports 4K video capture up to 4096 x 2160p24 and 12M pixel photos capture by using the 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor. You may export the video in either MOV or MP4 format for editing. Available picture shooting modes include burst, continuous, and timer mode. A live preview of what the camera is seeing before you shoot videos and pictures is supported through the DJI Pilot App. Camera Micro-SD Card Slot To store your photos and videos, plug in the micro-SD card into the slot shown below before powering on the Phantom 4. The Phantom 4 comes with a 16 GB micro-SD card and supports up to a 64 GB micro-SD card. A UHS-1 type micro-SD card is recommended, because the fast read and write capability of these cards enables you to store high-resolution video data. Do not remove micro-SD card from the The Phantom 4 when it is powered on. Camera Data Port Power on the The Phantom 4 and then connect a USB cable to the Camera Data Port to down- load photos or videos from the camera to your computer. Power on the aircraft before attempting to download the files.

Gimbal Camera Phantom 4  User Manual Camera Operation Use the Shutter and Record button on the remote controller to shoot the images or the videos through the DJI Pilot app. For more information about how to use these buttons, refer to “Controlling Camera”.   ND Filter Attach an ND filter to the front of the camera to reduce over-exposure and “jello” effect. Gimbal Gimbal Profile The 3-axis Gimbal provides a steady platform for the attached camera, allowing you to capture stabilized images and video. The Gimbal can tilt the camera up to 125 degrees. 30° 0° -90° Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control pitch movement of the camera by default. Note that you cannot control the pan movement of the camera by default. Enable the “Master-and-Slave”mode and set the remote controller to “Slave” state if you wish to control both the pan and pitch movement of the camera. Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control the pitch movement of the camera in the single remote controller mode, however, you cannot control the pan movement of the camera. Gimbal Operation Modes Two Gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the Camera page of the DJI Pilot App. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote controller for changes to take effect. Refer to the table below for details:

33 Gimbal Camera Phantom 4 User Manual The angle between Gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the roll motion using a second remote controller. The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a First- Person-View flying experience. 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 flat, 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. 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.

DJI Pilot App This chapter introduce the four main sections of the DJI Pilot app.

35 DJI Pilot App The DJI Pilot app is a new mobile app designed specifically for the The Phantom 4. Use this app to control the gimbal, camera and other features of your flight system.

Flight This chapter describes the flight safety and flight restrictions.

41 Flight Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator in the DJI Pilot App to practice the flight skills and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, in- cluding mobile phone 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 flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced.   6. The The Phantom 4 cannot operate within the polar areas. Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. 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 flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight 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 flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your The Phantom 4 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits. Max Height Max Radius Home Point Height of aircraft when powered on

Flight GPS Signal Strong Blinking Green Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator Max Height Flight altitude must be under the set height. Warning: Height limit reached. None. Max Radius Flight distance must be within the max radius. Warning: Distance limit reached. Rapid red flashing when close to the max radius limit. GPS Signal Weak Blinking Yellow Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator Max Height Flight height restricted to 120m and under. Warning: Height limit reached. None. Max Radius No limits If you fly out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire, but cannot fly it further. If the Inspire flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back within range automatically. Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports.   Category A Safety Zone (1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no-fly zone” and a range of “restricted-altitude zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no-fly zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restrict- ed-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum alti- tude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at 5 miles (8 km). (4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Pilot App.

43 Flight   Category B Safety Zone (1) Category B “safety zone” is comprised of a “no-fly zone” and a “warning zone”. (2) 0.6 miles (1 km) around the safety zone is a designated “no-fly zone”. (3) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 0.6 miles (1Km) of this zone, a warning will appear on the DJI Pilot App.

Warning: You are in a No-fly zone, automatic landing has begun. (If you are within 1.5 mile radius) Restricted- altitude flight zone I f t h e a i r c r a f t e n t e r s t h e restricted area in A mode but P mode activates, it will descend to a safe altitude and hover 15 feet below the safe altitude. Warning: You are in a restricted zone. Descending to safe altitude. (If you are between the range of 1.5 mile and 5 mile radius) Warning: You are in a restricted zone. Max flight height restricted to between 10.5m and 120m. Fly Cautiously. Warning zone No flight restriction applies, but there will be warning message. Warning: You are approaching a restricted zone, Fly Cautiously. Free zone No restrictions. None. None. Semi-automatic descent: All stick commands are available except the throttle stick command during the descent and landing process. Motors will stop automatically after landing. When flying in the safety zone, aircraft status indicator will blink red quickly and continue for 3 seconds, then switch to indicate current flying status and continue for 5 seconds at which point it will switch back to red blinking. For safety reasons, please do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers and other special areas. Try to ensure the aircraft is visible.

45 Flight Preflight Checklist 1. Remote controller, aircraft battery, and mobile device are fully charged. 2. Propellers are mounted correctly and firmly. 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 sen- sitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight 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. Calibration Procedures Choose an open space 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 Calibra- tion” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a sol- id green light.

Flight 3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red. If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a different location to carry out compass calibration. Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass. When to Recalibrate 1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green and yellow. 2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight. 3. When the mechanical structure of the The Phantom 4 has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. 4. When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the The Phantom 4 does not fly in straight lines. Auto Take-off and Auto Landing Auto Take-off Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off: 1. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter “Camera” page. 2. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 3. Go through the pre-flight checklist. 4. Tap“ ”, and confirm flight condition. Slide to confirm and take-off. 5. Aircraft takes off and hovers at 1.2 meters above ground.

47 Flight Auto-Landing 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.   3. Aircraft lowers the landing gear and proceed to land automatically. 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 the The Phantom 4 has landed, push the throttle down , then conduct CSC . Motors 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 sec- onds. Flight Test   Take off/Landing Procedures 1. Place the aircraft on open, flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 2. Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery. 3. Launch the DJI Pilot App and enter the Camera page. 4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly now. If it flashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off. 5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off. 6. Shoot photos and videos using the DJI Pilot app. 7. To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle slowly to descend. 8. After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. 9. Turn off the Intelligent Flight Battery first, followed by the Remote Controller.

Flight When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Watch video tutorials about flight for more flight information. Video Suggestions and Tips 1. Work through the checklist before each flight. 2. Select desired gimbal working mode in the DJI Pilot app. 3. Aim to shoot when flying in P mode only 4. Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 5. Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 6. Perform flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 7. Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.
