Phantom 3 Standard

User Manual

By default, the remote controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the left stick controls the throttle and

orientation of the aircraft and the right stick controls the movement of the aircraft. You can switch to other

standard modes or congure a custom mode under RC Settings in the DJI GO app.

What do the switches on the top of the remote controller do?

These switches are called the S1 and S2 switches.

The S1 switch allows you to change between advanced ight modes, including P-Mode, A-Mode, and

F-Mode. More information about these modes can be found in the user manual. Beginners should keep this

switch in the uppermost position (P-Mode) when ying.

The S2 switch can be used to trigger Return-to- Home. When ying, simply toggle this switch up and down

several times to tell your Phantom 3 Standard to return to the Home Point and land.

Can I remove the camera and attach my own?

No. The camera that comes with the Phantom 3 Standard is permanently attached. Attempting to remove,

replace, or modify the camera may damage the product and will void your warranty.

Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3 Standard?

No. The Phantom 3 series uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The new 4-cell

battery has a capacity of 4480 mAh and voltage of 15.2 V.

Can I use a Phantom 3 Professional/Advanced Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3

Standard?

Yes, the Phantom 3 series batteries are the same.

Why is the number of discharges for the Intelligent Flight Battery not zero, even though I have never

used it?

Every Intelligent Flight Battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge

time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time displayed in the DJI GO app is not zero.

The battery is safe to use.

My Phantom 3 Standard does not turn off right away, is something wrong?

This is normal. After you release the power button, the Intelligent Flight Battery may remain on for a few

seconds while any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost

or corrupted.

How can I restore a video le if the power is turned off during recording?

Insert the Micro SD card into the camera and turn on the Phantom 3 Standard. Wait approximately 30

seconds for the video le to be restored.

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible?

Hover the aircraft over a at, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the

ground.

How can I safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?
