I think you need to memorize the manual before you do anything.

Oh sorry, were you intending to ask what an IMU was?

IMU in this case stands for inertial measurement unit.  It uses accelerometers and black magic to determine where in 3 axis the aircraft is moving.  It can do this without any reference to the outside world.  Just like you can kinda tell where you're going in a car even when your eyes are closed.

Phantom 3 IMU Calibration Reset Fixes Flight Errors And Bugs

Phantom 3 IMU Calibration to fix flight problems
The Phantom 3 IMU calibration procedure is simple and takes between 5 and 10 minutes. The IMU calibration will fix many of the Phantom 3 issues including erratic flying, no signal and compass errors.

The IMU calibration will fix excessive warm up times, off horizon viewing issues and the usual yellow and red flashing lights after completing the normal Phantom 3 compass calibration. This post shows you how to calibrate the IMU on the Phantom 3 along with some tips.

While the Phantom 3 is great value and a beautiful quadcopter, a crashed quadcopter is of no value.  Take a few minutes to examine your quadcopter components before flying.  Make sure the motors and props are running freely and that there is no sign of any physical damage.

Phantom 3 IMU Calibration Procedure

If you feel your Phantom 3 is not flying correctly, bring it back in safely.  Pay close attention for any warning lights on the quadcopter and warning signals in the DJI Pilot App.  This errors and warning will help you troubleshoot the problems.

While this post concentrates on the Phantom 3 IMU calibration, you can also calibrate the gimbal and remote controller on the Phantom 3. You will find these calibration options in the Phantom 3 Pilot app.

How To Calibrate IMU on Phantom 3

Before you re-calibrate the Phantom 3 IMU you can also check it first in the DJI Pilot App.

The Phantom 3 should not be moved at all during the IMU calibration process otherwise the procedure will fail.

If the IMU is really out of sync, you may have to do this procedure more than once.  Place your Phantom 3 on a flat surface.  Use a spirit or bubble level to check for a nice flat surface.

If possible, have at least 50% charged battery in the Phantom 3. You definitely don’t want the quadcopter giving battery warnings or stopping during the IMU calibration process.

Switch on your Remote Controller and then switch on your Phantom 3.  There is no need to switch on the motors.
Open the DJI Phantom 3 Pilot App.  Click on “Camera”.
Next tap the “Mode” icon which is 2nd button in the upper left part of the screen.
Tap into the “Sensors” in the MC Settings, then click on IMU Calibration.
Click “Ok” and “Ok” again on the pop up messages to start the calibration process which can take 5 to 10 minutes.
You should see the calibration process bar reaching 100%.

Rather than strain your 80 year old eyes squinting at a paper manual, perhaps you could just read the manual on your computer.  Here'a a link to the PDF.  You can use your PDF reader to make the text as large as you wish.  But it sounds like you already did that, because I am sure you didn't type out all that before just to make a point.  So... I'm guessing you didn't even have any 87 brightness paper in your hands in the first place?

Hey Zippo43 you can stop pulling up old threads of mine and replying to them just to get back at me for whatever wrongs you think I may have committed here.  I've already got enough stalkers that want me for my body.

Zippo, just to verify, is there anything wrong of your drone? If everything works perfect, just leave it alone.
