    Read this carefully and see if you are going about it the same way:

    "Ground Station is described as a Bluetooth solution… so how does iPad use Bluetooth to talk to your Phantom 2 over such long distances? Ground Station package includes both “ground” and “air” ends, and those are what actually talk to each other. The iPad does use Bluetooth, but talks only to a Bluetooth CAN BUS adapter that plugs into the ground end (included in the Data Link package). Your iPad doesn’t have to try to talk to the multicopter, directly; instead, it only needs to talk to the ground end of the system, which uses its more-powerful transceiver to talk to the air end, which is installed in the Phantom."
