Hi i have a phantom 3 professional and just recently when i turn the controller on the red power light flashes a buzzer sounds and i get a message scrolling along the top of my tablet saying  

"  remote controller signal weak  "

I usually have to keep turning the controller on and off until it doesnt do it this can take ages turning it on and off as many as 10 or more times !




On one occasion i did turn on the phantom to see what would happen and it looked as if i would have been able to fly but i didn't as the buzzer was still sounding and the message was still scrolling.

Could anyone suggest why it is doing this ?

Thanks for any help

It sounds like you are doing the startup wrong.

To power up, in this order:
Radio
Phantom
App

To power off, Phantom first, then app and radio

Hi thanks for your reply

I always power up the controller first .

My tablet or phone is usually already plugged in and turned on as i power up the controller.

I then power up the phantom.

I have done this since buying it new and have never had any problems until recently.

I will try your suggestion next time i fly and see what happens.

I have all the latest firmware on the controller,  battery and phantom so dont think its anything to do with that .

Thanks
