Figure 1

Choose between Phantom and Naza-M working modes using Phantom 2 Vision+Assistant Software. If

using Naza-M mode, please refer to the NAZA-M V2 Quick Start Manual for related instructions.

Phantom: Flight settings will be elected automatically depending on whether 6 or more satellites have

been found. This mode allows users to configure the Remote Controller and gain values, and use Failsafe

and battery level warnings.

Naza-M: Flight settings will be identical to the Naza-M V2. Users can choose between GPS, Attitude, or

Manual mode. They can also access advanced settings including Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC).

Rear LED Flight Indicators will display the flight status according to the Naza-M indicator.

Ready to Fly: When 6 or more GPS satellites have been found, the Flight Control System will lock its

home point and Rear LED Flight Indicators will blink a slow green ( ). This mode is ideal for

beginners.

Ready to Fly (non-GPS): When less than 6 GPS satellites have been found, the Flight Control System will

stabilize itself less than in full Ready to Fly mode and will require more skilled flying. Rear LED Flight

Indicators will blink a slow yellow ( ).
