Low Battery RTH with LiPo battery
The low voltage failsafe is triggered when the DJI LiPo Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the 
safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these 
warnings are shown. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds 
countdown. Cancel the RTH procedure by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these 
warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home 
Point.
Aircraft will land automatically only if the current voltage can support the aircraft in landing on the ground 
from the current altitude. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the landing 
process.

When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land automatically, 
you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more appropriate location for 
landing.

Attitude Control When One Motor Output Fails
For multirotor aircraft, the A3/A3 Pro flight control system can control the aircraft’s attitude when one motor 
fails:
1.During flight, the aircraft with A3/A3 Pro flight control system is attitude controllable when one motor 
output fails
2.The motor will not start before take-off. (DJI Intelligent ESCs are required for communication.) Select 
Course Lock or Home Lock mode to fly the aircraft to a safe area to land when the aircraft is far away, or 
the attitude can’t be recognized.

Propulsion System Protection
Low voltage and overweight aircraft warnings are provided in the DJI GO app.
