I have old versions of these documents and would like to get the latest (English version).  I try to download from the DJI website but always get "Page Cannot Be Displayed".  I tried different languages just to see if they work, and the German version does download, so I don't think the problem is at my end.  I tried Internet Explorer, Edge, and Chrome browsers.

Tried it some more.  I can download the French, German, and Japanese versions, but no others.  Tried pdf and zip versions with same results.  Weird.

Be sure you get the version 1.8 since if you Google DJI phantom 3 advanced manual, you get some old place in DJI that has version 1.0, which is missing lots of stuff.  Go to DJI, then “Downloads” and you can find the V1.8 manual.

That is the page I have been trying.  Tried it by clicking on the link in your message and still get the same results.  Also having same issue with the Phantom 4 Pro documents.  
I have found I can download them in my iPhone 6+, but not my Windows 10 computer.

The flight manual is also found in the Go app as well.

If you want to read it, you already have a copy.... ;-)

Thanks.
I sold my P3A and was hoping to send a printout of the latest manual with it.  I'll send him version 1.6 (which I have) and let him try to get the latest.

Got the documents.  I downloaded them with the iPhone and transferred them over to the computer.

Why don't you just send the buyer the manual link?

Don't they have their own Internet? Ha

I'm sure he has Internet.  But I wanted a copy of the manual staring him in the face when he opened the box, increasing the chances he would read it.  Also, at the time I didn't know whether the problem was with DJI's servers or not.
I ran across the same problem today when I tried to download DJI Assistant for my new P4P.  "Page cannot be displayed".  After a few hours of research and trial and error, I found that disabling "SSL/TSL protocol filtering" in my ESET NOD32 antivirus allows me to download the file.  Doesn't explain why I could previously download different language manuals, but at least I have a workaround.

Yes, getting people to RTFM is important. Too bad more new pilots don't take that advice...

Hopefully your customer will be start enough to want to educate himself well, before firing it up. ;-)
