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 ( ).

2.3 Charging the Flight Battery
1. Connect charger to wall socket (100-240V, 50/60Hz, using the plug set if necessary).
2. Connect battery to charger. If the current capacity of the battery is over 75%, you should turn it on
before beginning to charge.
3. Battery Level Indicators will display current capacity level as the battery charges.
4. Battery is fully charged when Battery Level indicator lights are off. Disconnect the charger and battery
when charging is complete.

The Smart Flight Battery can be charged using an optional Phantom 2 Car Charger. This can charge the
battery in-car or through 3S-6S Li-Po batteries. Contact your authorized dealer or DJI customer service
for details.
(1) Battery should only be charged with the charger provided by DJI. DJI does not take any
responsibility for damage caused by third party chargers.
(2) If current battery level is over 75%, the battery should be turned on before charging.
2.4 Battery Installation
Push battery into battery compartment according to the below diagram. When you hear a click, the battery has
been properly installed.

©2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
Figure 7
An incorrectly installed battery may cause (1) Bad contact, (2) unavailable battery information, (3)
unsafe flight, (4) inability to take off.
2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes
1. When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom.
2. Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the
battery until there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to
maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will optimize the battery.
3. For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40~50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge
and charge the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be
varied in these maintenance charges - (40%~50%)—0%—100%—(40%~50%).
4. Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely
discharge a battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly.
5. Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way.
6. Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way.
7. Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as
concrete and never near any flammable materials.
8. Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer.
Discharging methods:
1) Slow
Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the
battery can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be
turned on, reducing wear.
2) Quick
Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be
turned on.

3.2 Built-in Flight Control System
The Phantom 2 Vision+is equipped with a DJI Naza-M V2 Flight Control System. This provides incredible ease of
use and stability. Pilots can control the Phantom’s movements in many directions, including pitch (forwards and
backwards), roll (left and right), elevator (up and down) and yaw (turn left or right). The flight control system also
can provide IOC, Failsafe and battery level warnings.
Modules
Functions
Main Controller
Acts as the brains of the complete flight control system, responsible for connecting
and controlling all the modules together.

©2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
IMU
Has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude
and altitude.
GPS & Compass
The compass reads geomagnetic information and assists the GPS (Global Position
System) to accurately calculate the position and height of the aircraft.
LED Flight Indicators
Indicates the status of flight control system.
FC Assistant Port
The flight control system communicates with the PC Assistant Software through a Micro-USB cable between the
Phantom FC Assistant Port and the PC. Users can use Assistant Software to configure the aircraft and upgrade the
Phantom firmware. Please refer to Using the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant Software (Page 68) for details.
3.3 LED Flight Indicator Descriptions
LED flight indicators are found at the front and the rear of the Phantom. Front LEDs are for indicating where the
nose of the aircraft is. They light up solid red after motors have started spinning. Rear LED Flight Indicators light up
to show the aircraft’s current flight status once the flight battery is powered on. For details, please see the below
table.

If a solid red LED indicator appears, connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+Assistant
Software for details and resolution. This may be caused by:
1) IMU calibration required: Recalibrate IMU using Assistant Software.
2) IMU is abnormal: Repair required.
3) Compass is abnormal: Repair required.
4) Remote controller mid-point is set abnormally: Refer to How to solve large margin(s)
mid-point error (Page 73).
3.4 3-axial Stabilized Gimbal
The 3-axial stabilized gimbal of the Phantom 2 Vision+will power on and self-check each time the flight battery is
installed and powered on. Its pitch can be controlled using the DJI VISION App. This gimbal has two working modes,
video mode and FPV mode, with the video mode set as default. This can be configured inside Phantom 2 Vision+
Assistant Software or the DJI VISION App.

Micro-SD Slot
With flight battery powered off, make sure the Micro-SD card is inserted correctly into the Micro-SD Slot before
taking any photos or recording any video.
Figure 15
The Phantom 2 Vision+comes with a 4GB Micro-SD card and can support cards up to 32GB. The DJI VISION App
may not be able to read some Micro-SD cards. Using the DJI VISION App to reformat new Micro-SD cards is
recommended.
Refer to Format Micro-SD Card (Page 56) for details.
Do not insert or remove Micro-SD card when flight battery is powered on.
Gimbal Error Warning
Before the aircraft takes off, if a gimbal motor error is detected or the gimbal clamp is not removed, there will be a
warning prompt on the camera page of the DJI VISION App. This will disappear after the problem is resolved.

Figure 16 Figure 17
(1) Remove Gimbal Clamp before powering on flight battery.
(2) Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2)
Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision.
Please take off from flat, open ground and protect the gimbal after powering up.
Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The
gimbal will recover when it dries out.
3.5 Camera
The Phantom 2 Vision+camera powers up when the flight battery has been installed and switched on. Photos and
videos can be shot by pressing either the onboard button or the DJI VISION App. For aerial photography it
supports burst shots, continuous capture and timed capture, and exports to both Adobe DNG Raw and JPEG. For
aerial video, it shoots in full HD at (1080p30/1080i60) and can even shoot 720p60 for internet ready slow motion.
