Notes



Please contact your dealer if the “System start and self-check LED flashes” are not correct (Red LED appears in

the last four green flashes) in the Step5.



After the system start and self-checking has finished, if the LED blinks Red, Yellow and Green continually, that

means the IMU data is abnormal. The PHANTOM will not work, please connect to the Assistant Software and

follow the tips to do operation. If it blinks red and yellow lights alternately (

), that means the

compass error is too big, it can be caused by the following three cases. Please connect to the Assistant Software,

select the “tools” tab and follow the tips of the “IMU Calibration” to do operation.

1. There are ferromagnetic substance around; first make sure that the compass has been calibrated correctly, you

can lift the aircraft up (about 1m from the ground), and stay away from the surrounding possible ferromagnetic

material object, if there is no red and yellow flashing after lifting it up about 1m from the ground, then it will not

affect the flight.

2. The compass module had been put near a magnet; in this situation please timely replace the compass for a new

one, otherwise it will lead to some abnormal action, or even loss of control.

3. The compass is not properly calibrated; in this situation please calibrate the compass correctly again, please see

the GPS compass calibration for details.
