P-mode or S-mode is preferred for most flight scenarios. Users can switch to A-mode if P-mode or S-mode is
unavailable. When ying in A-mode, take EXTRA precautions because some features are NOT available in A-mode.
1. P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Vision
System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between obstacles or track a moving object. Advanced features
such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
2. S-mode (Sports): S-mode is identical to P-mode in terms of ight controller settings, except that the handling gain
values of the aircraft are adjusted in order to enhance the maneuverability of the aircraft. The maximum ight
speed of the aircraft is increased in this mode.
3. A-mode (Attitude): When neither the GPS nor the Vision System is available, the aircraft will only use its barometer
for positioning to control the altitude.
If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., Atti mode), you are required to accept the
prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data
including but not limited to function records could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI designated server.
Failsafe and Return-to-Home
1. The Return-to-Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufcient or if GPS is not active.
2. Press the RTH (Return-to-Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. DO
NOT resort to turning off the remote controller to force the aircraft to return to Home Point.
3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and speed
while returning home to avoid obstacles.
4. Make sure to always y the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.
5. Only use the Failsafe and Return-to-Home functions in emergency cases, as they may be affected by the weather,
the environment, or any nearby magnetic elds.
6. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH when lighting condition is not ideal, or if the Visual
System is otherwise disabled. Therefore, it is important to set an appropriate Failsafe altitude before each ight.
7. When ying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when ying above certain surfaces . Refer to the
“Vision System and Infrared Sensing System” section for complete indoor ying criteria.
8. During the Failsafe RTH, the pilot may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal is re-established.
Moving the left stick when the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or beyond will cancel the ascending
process and command the aircraft to return to the home point immediately. Pressing the RTH button once during
the Failsafe RTH will cancel the RTH process immediately.
9. If the battery life so allows, the aircraft may rst return to the last position where it had connection with the remote
controller during the Failsafe RTH. As a result, you may observe the aircraft first flying away from you, then
returning to the home point.
Low Battery
1. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may push the
throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing.
2. When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid losing
power during ight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.
