DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 Quick Start Guide

Product Overview

The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is an advanced prosumer flying camera system. It is capable of shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second (fps) with a bitrate of up to 100 Mbps, and capturing still images with a resolution of 20 megapixels. The drone features 4-directional obstacle avoidance, allowing it to intelligently navigate around potential hazards during flight. With features like TapFly™™ and ActiveTrack™™ accessible through the DJI GO™™ 4 app, users can fly the drone by tapping on the screen to direct its movement or track moving subjects with ease. The integrated 1-inch CMOS sensor provides exceptional clarity, reduced noise, and superior image quality. The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 also boasts improved propulsion system efficiency, resulting in 4dB (60%) lower noise levels compared to the original Phantom 4 Pro.

Getting Started

1. Download the DJI GO 4 App: Search for 'DJI GO 4' on the App Store or Google Play and install it on your mobile device. The app supports iOS 9.0 (or later) or Android 4.4 (or later).
2. Watch the Tutorial Videos: Access tutorial videos at www.dji.com or within the DJI GO 4 app.
3. Check the Battery Levels: Press the power button on the aircraft's intelligent flight battery once to check the charge level. Press once, then again and hold to turn the battery on/off. Similarly, check the remote controller's battery level using its LEDs.
4. Charge the Batteries: Remove the intelligent flight battery from the aircraft. Connect the charger to the battery and a power outlet. Charging time is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes for the aircraft battery and depends on the remote controller's battery capacity.

Prepare for Takeoff

1. Prepare the Remote Controller: Unfold the remote controller. Place your mobile device in the holder and secure it. Connect your mobile device to the remote controller using a USB cable.
2. Prepare for Takeoff: Remove the gimbal clamp from the camera. Power on the remote controller and the aircraft. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, complete the first-time setup, and tap 'GO FLY'. First-time activation requires your DJI account and an internet connection.
3. Attach Propellers: Ensure propellers with black rings are mounted on motors with black dots, and propellers with silver rings are mounted on motors without black dots. Press the propeller down onto the mounting plate and rotate it in the lock direction until secure. Check that the propellers are securely attached before each flight.

Flight Operations

Ready to Go (GPS)

Before takeoff, ensure the Aircraft Status Bar in the DJI GO 4 app indicates 'Ready to Go (GPS)' or 'Ready to Go (Vision)' if flying indoors.

In the DJI GO 4 App:

• Auto Takeoff: The aircraft will take off and hover at an altitude of 4 feet (1.2 meters).
• Auto Landing: The aircraft will land vertically and stop its motors.
• Return-to-Home (RTH): Brings the aircraft back to the Home Point. Tap again to stop the procedure.
• Normal: You are in full control of the Phantom, with satellite and Return-to-Home support.
• TapFly: Tap on your screen to fly your Phantom in that direction, avoiding obstacles as it moves.
• ActiveTrack: Mark an object on your screen to track it as it moves.

Manual Takeoff and Landing:

• Manual Takeoff: Use the Combination Stick Command to start the motors, then slowly push the left stick up to take off.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left stick down until the aircraft touches the ground, then hold it down for a few seconds to stop the motors.

Important Flight Notes:

• Watch the tutorial in the DJI GO 4 app or on the official DJI website to learn more.
• Always set an appropriate RTH altitude before takeoff. When the aircraft is returning to the Home Point, you should guide it with the control sticks. Refer to the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines for more details.
• Rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when people are nearby.
• Always keep your hands on the remote controller as long as the motors are still spinning.
• Stop motor mid-flight: In emergency situations, pull the left stick to the bottom inside corner while simultaneously pressing the RTH button. This should only be done to reduce the risk of damage or injury. Refer to the user manual for details.

It's important to understand basic flight guidelines for your safety and the safety of those around you. Don't forget to read the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines.
