5Preparing the Remote Controller 

The PHANTOM 2  remote controlleris a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency 

band. The link between the remote controller and aircraft isalready established before delivery. 

The remote controller default is set to Mode 2 and CE compliance before delivery. Both the operating mode and 

compliance version can be  configuredin  PHANTOM RC  Assistant Software. Please referto <PHANTOM 

RCAssistant> and <ComplianceConfiguration> for details. 

 

Compliance Version: The PHANTOM 2  remote controlleris compliant with CE and FCC (see the 

FCC ID) regulations. 

Operating Mode: The remote controller is divided to Mode 1 and Mode 2 according to different channel 

mappings. 

Mode 1: The left stick is mapped to throttle channel. 

Mode 2: The right stick is mapped to throttle channel. 

 

The range extender and mobile device holder is already mounted on the remote controller. Twist mobile 

device holder to face outwards and fix in position to prepare for mobile device installation. 

 

It is recommended not to use oversized mobile devices  (e.g. iPad), which cannot be placed  into the 

Mobile Device Holder.
