The context in which the descent rate is mentioned is as follows:
b) When the battery level reaches a Critical Battery Level Warning, the aircraft will automatically land. The motors will power off after landing.
c) Descending speed will be automatically adjusted based on current altitude when the battery level reaches a Critical Battery Level Warning.
I believe they intended to state the descent rate is adjusted based on current altitude and battery life when the Phantom is in RTH mode only. It's my assumption that while the Phantom is under user control, the descent rate is still restricted to 2 meters per second. I believe this to be a good assumption since I haven't heard anything to the contrary since they implemented this in the later firmware versions beyond 3.0.
