3 Preparing the Remote Controller
The PHANTOM 2 VISION remote controller is a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency
band. It is compliant with CE and FCC (see the FCC ID) regulations and is set to Mode 2 before delivery. The
compliance version can be configured by twisting the potentiometer knob on the back of the remote controller.
The stick configuration can also be reset in the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Refer to the PHANTOM RC Assistant
and the Compliance Version Configuration (Page 12) for details.
(1)
(2)
(3)
CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 300 meters in open spaces due
to power limitations. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter
Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range.
FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 500 meters in open spaces. Be sure to watch
your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go
home and land) if it flies beyond this range.

3.5 Remote Controller Operation
Definitions
The ‘stick neutral’ positions and ‘stick released’ mean the control sticks of the remote controller are placed at
the central position.
To ‘move the stick’means that the stick of remote controller is pushed away from the central position.
Remote Controller
(Mode 2)
Aircraft
（nose direction）
Operation details
The throttle stick controls aircraft altitude/elevation.
Push the stick up and the aircraft will rise.
Pull the stick down and the aircraft will descend.
The aircraft will automatically hover and hold its height
if the sticks are centered.
Push the throttle stick above the centered (mid-point)
position to make the aircraft take-off. When flying, we
suggest that you push the throttle stick slowly to
prevent the aircraft from sudden and unexpected
elevation changes.

The yaw stick controls the aircraft rudder.
Push the stick left and the aircraft will rotate counter
clock-wise.
Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate
clock-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will
remain facing the same direction.
The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of
the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center
results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity.
The pitch stick controls the aircraft’s front & back tilt.
Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly
forward.
Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly
backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the
stick is centered.
Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center
will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35˚) and
faster flight velocity.
The roll stick controls the aircraft’s left & right tilt.
Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left.
Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right.
The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is
centered.
Pushing the stick further away from center will result in
a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35˚) and faster flight
velocity.
Position-1 Position-2 Position-3
S1 is for compass calibration. Toggle the S1 from
position-1 to position-3 and back to position-1 at least
6-10 times, which will force the aircraft to enter into
compass calibration mode.

4 Preparing the Range Extender
The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz
frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device
(Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach
up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other
sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the range extender functions
properly. Otherwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2
VISION.
Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the
back label as ‘Phantom_xxxxxx’. The ‘xxxxxx’ represents the last six letters or numbers of the MAC address
for the range extender.

your camera from switching on and will need a factory reset.
A fast red flashing LED after the update means the update has failed. Please try again.
