Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly.
4 Failsafe Function The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. Home Point: When the Phantom enters ’Ready to Fly’ from the ‘Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)’, the GPS coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 1) When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land.
(2) The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites detected for more than 20 seconds. (3) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote Controller from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point. Rear LED flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful.
5 Low Battery Level Warning Function The low battery level warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The Phantom 2 Vision+ has two levels of low battery level warning. The default battery level warning thresholds are 30% (low battery level warning) and 15% (critical low battery level warning) respectively.
6 Flight Limits All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance limits and No Fly Zones. In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight.
