6 Preparing the Range Extender
The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+.
In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees,
buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every ight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range
Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2
Vision+ may occur.
Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as
‘Phantom_XXXXXX’. The ‘XXXXXX’ represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender.
This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

When the Binding Reset Button is pressed, it will reset and restart the Range Extender. You will need to bind it with the
Phantom 2 Vision+ again to recreate its Wi-Fi network. Failure to do so will cause the DJI VISION App to fail to connect
with the camera.
6.2 Using Range Extender
Charging the Range Extender
Charge the Range Extender by connecting the charging port to a power supply device such as a PC or a USB charger
using a Micro-USB cable. Make sure to charge the Range Extender completely before using it for the rst time. This
takes 3~4 hours depending on USB power output.
Make sure the Range Extender has enough power before each use.
