● Environmental Considerations:

1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. This includes high winds (speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/s or more), snow, rain, and fog.

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 obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission towers, or Wi-Fi hotspots.

Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when

flying 19,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efficiency.

6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATTI Mode and the Vision Positioning

system will be o

perational.

● Calibrating the Compass:

Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO app or the status indicator prompt you to do so. Observe the following rules when

calibrating your compass:

1. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and

steel reinforcements underground.

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

3. The DJI GO app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected by strong interference after calibration is

complete. Follow the prompted instructions to resolve the compass issue.

● P Mode:

In this mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision

Positioning system, allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors

and out. When GPS is available, a Home Point will be locked so that the

Phantom 3 Professional can Return to Home if the Remote Controller

signal is lost.

※ This Quick Start Guide is subject to change without prior notice.

Folded

There are three states in P mode:

P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors and in a wide open area. Your

Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in place when there is a

strong GPS signal.

P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the Vision Positioning

system to hover accurately.

P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are available.

The aircraft will only use its barometer for altitude and other on-board

sensors for attitude stabilization.

Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when

the Phantom 3 Professional is flying over water, over surfaces without

a clear pattern, or in a low-light environment.

● Return to Home:

When there is a strong GPS signal, the aircraft will be able to

record a Home Point and return to that Home Point when

required. The Home Point location is recorded when the GPS

signal icon in the DJI GO app is either yellow or green.

The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically

in the

following scenarios (all require a strong GPS signal):

Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller

or in the DJI GO app is pressed.

Low-Battery RTH: A notification will appear in the DJI GO

app requesting the pilot to take action when the battery level

falls under a certain level.

Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller’s signal is lost.

It’s time to meet your Phantom 3 Professional.

The Phantom 3 Professional’s camera records video at up to 4K and captures 12 megapixel photos.

Review the diagram below for a full list of your Phantom 3 Professional’s parts:

This powerful Remote Controller allows you to pilot and maneuver your Phantom 3 Professional at distances over 16,400

feet (5 km)* away, while putting selected camera controls at your fingertips.

Built into your Remote Controller is a rechargeable LiPo battery and DJI Lightbridge, which when paired with a compatible

mobile device gives you a live HD view from the Phantom’s camera.

* This maximum transmission distance was tested in a lab environment and is for reference only. The maximum operating distance may vary depending

on conditions in your immediate surroundings.

DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional in a safe, responsible, and smart way. To do this, it is important to

understand some basic flight guidelines, both for your protection and for the safety of those around you.

1. Fly in Open Areas: Always fly in locations that are free and clear of buildings, trees, power lines, and other obstacles. Do not fly above

or near people or animals.

2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to

Home, always keep your hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control of your aircraft when it is in flight.

3. Maintain Line of Sight: Keep your aircraft in sight at all times, and avoid flying behind buildings or other obstacles that may block

your view.

4. Monitor Your Altitude: For the safety of full-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always fly at altitudes less than 400 feet (120 meters)

above ground level, or in line with your local laws and regulations.

While returning to the Home Point, the aircraft’s altitude can be adjusted to avoid obstacles. Tall buildings may affect the Remote

Controller’s signal. The Failsafe Return to Home procedure will be triggered if the signal is lost. Be sure to fly higher than any nearby

buildings to avoid crashing.

Preparing Your Phantom 3 Professional Before Flying Read the User Manual and watch the video tutorials in the DJI GO app or on the official DJI website (www.dji.com), and read the following documents included in the box before using your Phantom 3 Professional for the first time: Phantom 3 Professional Quick Start Guide, Phantom 3 Safety Guidelines and Disclaimer, Phantom 3 Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines, In the Box. 1. Download the DJI GO App 2.

5. Preparing the Remote Controller Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position, and then adjust the antennas as shown. The strength of the Remote Controller’s signal will fluctuate depending on the positions of the antennas. Strong Weak The transmission signal between the aircraft and Remote Controller will be strongest within the range illustrated here. If the signal is weak, adjust the positions of the antennas and fly the aircraft closer to achieve optimal signal performance.

7. Getting Ready for Takeoff Remove the gimbal clamp as shown on the right. Place your Phantom 3 Professional on a flat surface, in an open space, with the nose facing away from you. Then follow the steps below in this order: 2 1 1 Toggle the Flight Mode Switch on your Remote Controller to the right (P Mode). P Mode is Positioning Mode, A Mode is ATTI Mode, and F Mode is Function Mode.

● Manual Takeoff and Landing (Stick configurations are for MODE 2)： Start the motors by pulling both control sticks to the bottom inside (or outside) corners. Release the sticks once the motors start. Slowly push the left stick (throttle stick) up to takeoff. Start / Stop the motors To land, gently pull the left stick (throttle stick) down to lower the aircraft until it touches the ground. Then pull both sticks to the bottom inside corners to stop the motors.
