Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ User Manual
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 prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The 
aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The 
user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds 
for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from 
the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough 
to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s 
orientation during the landing process.
The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:
Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and follow the on-
screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return 
to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to 
avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to 
identify obstacles as far as 300 m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. Press and hold the Smart 
RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure 
and regain full control of the aircraft.
