Aircraft This section introduces the Flight Con- troller, Vision System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery.
Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ flight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device.
Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ User Manual Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft.
Failsafe. The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during Failsafe RTH if Forward Vision System is disabled. It is important to set a suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, enter “Camera” and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.

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.
Page 17
Precision Landing The Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features underneath during Return to Home. When current terrain matches home point terrain, the Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ will start landing immediately to achieve precision landing. The DJI GO 4 app will show a terrain feature mismatch prompt if matching fails.

0% will the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft flight orientation. 3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ descends below 0.3 meters. Tap to confirm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when the environment is appropriate for landing.
1. Take off and ensure the aircraft is flying at least 6 feet (2 meters) above the ground. 2 meters Auto Hold 2. Launch the DJI GO 4 app and tap , then tap , read and understand the prompts.

Tripod Mode Tap the icon in the DJI GO 4 app to enable Tripod Mode. In Tripod Mode, the maximum flight speed is limited to 5.6 mph (9 kph) and the braking distance is reduced to 6.6 ft (2 m). Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled movements.
Vision System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ to avoid them by going over, around, or hovering.

Pan and tilt the aircraft Quick Calibration Use quick calibration when the DJI GO 4 app notify that vision sensor calibration is required. Tap through “Aircraft Status” -> “Vision Sensors” to start quick calibration. Quick calibration is quick fix to vision sensor issues. Connecting the aircraft to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 is recommended when possible.

Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+ User Manual Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing Powered by the Obstacle Sensing, the aircraft will now be able to actively brake when obstacles are detected around the aircraft. Note that Obstacle Sensing function works best when lighting is adequate and the obstacle is clearly marked or textured.
PC through the Micro USB port and launch the DJI 2. Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 4 Advanced / Advanced+. The grey and black ring on the propeller indicate where they should be attached and in which direction whey should spin.

Battery voltage should reach the appropriate level when operating environment with temperatures between -10°C and 5°C. 3. End the flight as soon as the DJI GO 4 app displays the “Low Battery Level Warning” in low temperature environments. 4. Keep the battery indoors to warm it before flying in low temperature environments.
