What to Do & Not to Do First - Never, Never, Never, start flying Right Out of the Box OR after a Firmware Update!!! You WILL Crash, Hit Something, Hurt Someone or Hurt Yourself!! Too many times I’ve heard: “I just bought one, in 15 minutes I was flying and…crashing”. So PLEASE, people! Did I say NEVER? I’m gonna say it again: N . E . V . E . R .!

- Start by reading the manuals. I know, it’s no fun but DO IT anyway, at least once…twice…and again! - DJI Phantom Disclaimer - DJI Phantom Quick Start Guide - DJI Phantom User Manual - This Guide 

- Watch LOTS of Tutorials/Demos/How-to’s Videos. Peruse the Quad’s forums like Phantom Pilots, DJIGuys, RCgroups and the new DJI forum. Familiarize yourself with the Vision assistant software, the aircraft characteristics, the Naza-M and IOC. Learn as much as you can. Be careful, some tutorials are missing some important steps or doing things the wrong way (like calibrating near a car...come on tutorial makers!). Use your good judgment to make sure you understand what to do and when/where to do it.

- Write your contact information on your Phantom (in case you lose it). Also, it might be very helpful to label your Sticks\Switches. For already made stickers, have a look at this Phantom Identify Set.

- Install the software from DJI Site/Apps Store (Check How-to’s Videos for more info) 1- On your PC/MAC: - Drivers Assistant - Phantom RC Assistant - Phantom Vision Assistant 2- On your Smartphone: - DJI Vision App

- Follow ALL the instructions from the “What to do After any Software/Firmware Update OR After a Crash” section.
