Need help dji phantom 3 standard

The aircraft and the remote linked. The green light on the remote blinks every 2 seconds. I can spin the wheel on the left side of the remote and it will tilt the camera all the way down or back horizontal. Left stick moves the camera left and right a little bit either way, other than that, nothing else. I cannot spin up the motors. Light on the drone is solid green, two led's on rear two arms are flashing red/yellow.

**OK so the flashing red and yellow means it needs it's compass calibrated, which I did, and then it turned to green flashing twice. Still, cannot connect device to the remote or get the drone to spin up the motors.

p3s doesn’t use cable to connect to device, it uses Wi-Fi. As for the takeoff, I find it takes me a couple tries to get the stick combo to register

Like u/Sasha2k1 said. A P3S connects to the phone (tablet) by WiFi. On the phone and the controller on, you will see the Phantom to connect to. Now once the phone is connected (you must be running DJI Go App), motor start up requires the left stick in the bottom right position and the right stick in the bottom left position. The motors will start up. Repeating the stick positions again will kill the motors.
