buildings, persons, or animals, which could cause personal injury or property damage. 4. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been crashed or accidentally damaged or an aircraft that is
not in good condition. 5. Make sure to train sufficiently and have contingency plans for emergencies or when an
incident occurs. 6. Make sure to have a flight plan. DO NOT fly the aircraft recklessly. 7. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure to comply with local
privacy laws, regulations, and moral standards. 8. DO NOT use this product for any reason other than general personal use. 9. DO NOT use it for illegal or inappropriate purposes such as spying, military operations, or
unauthorized investigations. 10. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate
legal rights such as the right to privacy and publicity of others. 11. DO NOT trespass onto the private property of others.
Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://fly-safe.dji.com.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
Max altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while max distance restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can be changed in the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety.

· For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only fly the aircraft within a visual line of sight.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual

GEO Zones

DJI’s GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. Users can view such information in real-time in the DJI Fly app. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly- safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.
Unlocking GEO Zones
To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe website. Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking, the user must submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji. com. Once the unlocking request is approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Fly app. To unlock the zone, alternatively, the user may launch or fly the aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Fly to unlock the zone. Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special requirements. It designates user-defined custom flight areas and provides flight permission documents specific to the needs of different users. This unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and can be requested via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3 Pro contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Mavic 3 Pro supports the following flight modes. The flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode
The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the Horizontal, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems, and the Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak, but the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, it uses the vision systems. When the vision systems are enabled, and lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.
Sport Mode
In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed, making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note: Obstacle Avoidance is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s.
Cine Mode
Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited flight speed, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. If the aircraft is flying in the EU, the aircraft will switch to Low Speed mode when the flight mode is switched to C on the remote controller. Low Speed mode limits the maximum horizontal flight speed to 2.8 m/s based on Normal mode, and there is no limit for the ascent or descent speed.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces. The aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically. Therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
· The flight modes are only valid for manual flight and cruise control. · The vision systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense
obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert to the surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles. · The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
43 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
· A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode.
· The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
Aircraft Status Indicators
DJI Mavic 3 Pro has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.

· To obtain better footage, the front LEDs turn off automatically when shooting if the front LEDs are set to auto in DJI Fly. Lighting requirements vary depending on the region. Observe local laws and regulations.

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost during flight.

Home Point

GNSS
10

Description
The first location where the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal (indicated by a white icon) will be recorded as the default Home Point. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives another strong to moderately strong GNSS signal. If the signal is weak, the Home Point will not be updated. After the Home Point is recorded, a prompt will appear in DJI Fly.
If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as where the position of the user has changed), the Home Point can be manually updated in Settings > Safety page in DJI Fly.

During RTH, if the video transmission signal is normal, the AR Home Point, AR RTH route, and AR aircraft shadow will be displayed in the camera view by default. This improves the flight experience by helping users view the RTH route and Home Point and avoid obstacles on the route. The display can be changed in System Settings > Safety > AR Settings.
· The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual flight route in different scenarios. Always pay attention to the live view on the screen during RTH. Fly with caution.
· During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt to point the camera toward the RTH route by default. Use the gimbal dial to adjust the camera orientation or press the customizable buttons on the remote controller to recenter the camera will stop the aircraft from automatically adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH route from being viewed. The gimbal tilt will not be adjusted automatically during Straight Line RTH
· When reaching the Home Point, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt vertically down.
· AR aircraft shadow is only displayed when the aircraft is 0.5-15 m above the ground.

Low Battery RTH
When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. To avoid unnecessary danger caused by insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and only enough to complete an RTH flight. The aircraft will automatically fly to the Home Point if no action is taken after a 10-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. A low battery level warning will be prompted only once during a flight. If RTH is canceled following the warning, the Intelligent Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled, but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. If there is sufficient power, the throttle stick can be used to make the aircraft ascend at a speed of 1 m/s. During auto landing, move the aircraft horizontally to find an appropriate place to land as soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until the power is depleted.
Failsafe RTH
The action of the aircraft when the remote controller signal is lost can be set to RTH, land,or hover in Setting > Safety > Advanced Safety Settings in DJI Fly. If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored. DJI Fly will update the RTH path accordingly. When the lighting is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original Route RTH. Original Route RTH Procedure: 1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place. 2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjusts its orientation
and flies backward for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH.
