place and the aircraft will descend steadily. 
7.  After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3  to 5 seconds to stop the motors. Return throttle stick to 
middle position after the motors have stopped. 
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. 
(1) When  the  LED  flight  indicator  blinks  yellow  rapidly  during  flight,  the  aircraft  has  entered  into 
Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. 
(2) 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. 
(3) Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information. 
(4) Aircraft  and battery performance  is subject to environmental factors such as  air density and 
temperature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters  (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as 
battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 
(5) When used with a H3-3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very 
close  to its  maximum  takeoff weight.  It is  not recommended that  you  attach  the Phantom  2 
propeller guards at this weight. Otherwise, the aircraft will be unable to fly normally. 
6.4 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 remote controller is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must 
have been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant). 
(3) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. 
(4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially 
reducing the distance the signal can travel. 
(5) 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 the 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.
