Introduction
The Phantom 4 is a brand new quadcopter capable of capturing HD video and transmitting
an HD video
signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to maximize stability and
weight
efficiency while minimizing space. When no GPS signal is available, Vision Positioning technology provides
hovering precision.
Feature Highlights
Camera and Gimbal: Up to 4K video*(Phantom 4) recording and 12 megapixel photo capture. Re-
served mounting space for ND filters for better exposure control.
HD Video Downlink: Low latency, HD downlink powered by an enhanced version of the DJI Lightbridge system.
It also provides dual controllers mode.
DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: 5350 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery employs new battery cells and a bat-
tery management system.
Flight Controller: The next generation flight controller system provides a more reliable flight experience. A new
flight recorder stores the flight data from each flight, and Vision Positioning enhances hovering preci- sion when
flying indoors and no GPS is available.

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

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:

Return to Home (RTH)
The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases
that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH.

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

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.

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

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.
