7.  After  landing  the  aircraft  on  the  ground,  keep  the  throttle  stick  at  its  lowest  position  for  about  3  to  5 
seconds which will automatically stop the motors. 
You  SHOULD  NOT  execute  the  CSC during  normal  flight!  This  will  stop  the  motors  and  cause  the 
aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. 
(1) When  the  LED  flight  indicator  blinks  yellow  rapidly  during  flight,  the  aircraft  has  entered  into 
Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. 
(2) A low  battery  capacity  warning  is  indicated  by  the LED  flight  indicator  blinking  red  slowly  or 
rapidly during flight. Refer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. 
(3) Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information. 
6.4 Failsafe Function 
The  aircraft  will  enter  Failsafe  mode  when  the  connection  from  the  remote  controller  is  lost.  The  flight  control 
system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following 
situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode: 
(1) The remote controller is powered off. 
(2) The remote controller is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe  (this must 
have been configured in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant Software). 
(3) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. 
(4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially 
reducing the distance the signal can travel. 
(5) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller. 
Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in 
the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. 
Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---- Automatic landing 
The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may 
be drifting during the descent and landing process. 
Ready to Fly ---- Automatic go home and land 
The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land. 
Home Point 
When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as 
the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being 
able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.
