5.2 Power on the Remote Control
(1) Install four AA batteries into the battery compartment on the back of the Remote Control. Pay
attention to positive and negative.
(2) Set S1 and S2 switches to the upper most position and place all sticks in the mid-point.
(3) Toggle power switch to the right to switch on.
(4) The Remote Control will then beep. If it is set to CE compliance, then there will be one beep
while the FCC compliant version will beep twice. The Power LED will blink green quickly
indicating that the Remote Control and receiver are binding. Once binding is completed, the
Power LED will change to a solid green.
If the low voltage warning alert sounds (refer to Remote Control Power LED Status Information (Page 17) for
details), replace batteries as soon as possible.
For long term storage, be sure to remove the batteries from Remote Control.
Dispose of batteries properly.
5.3 Remote Control Power LED Status Information
Power LED Sound Remote Control State
—
Solid Green None Functioning normally.
Quick Green ashing None Establishing a link between the Remote Control and the receiver.
Slow Red ashing B-B-B…… Low voltage (at 3.9V-4.5V). Replace batteries as soon as possible.
Quick Red ashing BBBB
Low voltage (lower than 3.9V). Remote Control will automatically
power off. Replace batteries immediately.
Slow Green ashing B--B--B……
Remote Control has not been operated for 15 minutes. Turn off or
use the Remote Control.
The Remote Control Power LED will blink red and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.9V and
automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the Remote Control. If
this low voltage warning occurs during ight, it will cause the Phantom to enter Failsafe mode which cannot be
interrupted (refer to Failsafe Function (Page27) for details). Replacing batteries immediately after the low voltage
warning (3.9V-4.5V) is strongly recommended.
5.4 Antenna Orientation
Keep the antennas pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum remote control range during ight.

For maximum range and reliability, Remote Control antenna should point skywards with
no obstructions between it and the Phantom. Obstacles may cause Return to Home to
trigger. Phone Holder and Range Extender should not block the antenna.
