The connection between the transmitter and the drone is lost for more than 6 seconds. Once the Failsafe RTH is activated, the drone will start to to fly back to the pre-recorded Home Point automatically. If the connection between the drone and the transmitter is re-established during the Failsafe RTH procedure, the drone will stop flying back to the Home Point, and the pilot will regain control of the drone.

RETURN TO HOME

Low Voltage RTH

• RA: the Return Altitude set in the app setting. æ The First Stage of Low Voltage RTH: The drone status LED starts to flash red slowly and the transmitter keeps beeping. The drone enters the first stage of Low Voltage RTH. There are two possible returning procedures: (After the activation of the first stage of Low Voltage RTH, a “safety zone” with a height of 98 ft and a radius of 164 ft will be generated with the Home Point as its center. Once the drone returns to the airspace above the Home Point (thus ending the RTH procedure), it can only fly within the safety zone.)

a. If the flight altitude is higher HRA than RA and the flight distance is

larger than 16ft, the drone will

first fly back above the Home H=49 ft

Point, descend to 49ft and hover

there. The first stage of Low Home Point

Voltage RTH ends.

D=16 ft

a. Flight altitude > RA Flight distance > 16ft

b. If the flight altitude is lower than RA and the flight distance is larger than 16ft, the drone will first ascend to RA, then fly back above the Home Point and hover there. The first stage of Low Voltage RTH ends.

HRA
H=49 ft
Home Point D=16 ft
b. Flight altitude < RA Flight distance > 16ft

RETURN TO HOME
The Second Stage of Low Voltage RTH: When the drone status LED starts to flash red quickly, and the transmitter keeps beeping, the drone will enter the second stage of Low Voltage RTH. There are two possible returning procedures:

a. If the flight altitude of the drone is higher than or equal to 49 ft, the drone will, while maintaining its current altitude, first fly back and hover above the home point. It then slowly descends to the ground.

H>49 ft H=49 ft
Home Point a. Flight altitude 49 ft

b. If the flight altitude of the drone H=49 ft

is lower than 49 ft, the drone will

first ascend to 49 ft, fly back above

the home point, then slowly

descend to the ground.

Home Point

b. Flight altitude < 49 ft

– During Low Voltage RTH, the pilot cannot terminate the procedure. – During RTH, the drone cannot avoid obstacles. – If the GPS signal is weak or unavailabe, the RTH cannot be activated. – If the drone receives not GPS signal, and the connection between the drone and the transmitter is lost for more than 6 seconds, the RTH cannot be activated. The drone will just descend to the ground and locks its motors.

TRIMMER
You can only use this function when the drone is NOT in GPS mode. There is no need to trim when the drone is in GPS mode.
The Forward Trim If the drone tends to drift forward: 1. Press down the ” ” button and do not release it. 2. At the same time, push the right joystick backward one time. 3. Depending on how the drone drifts, it may take several pushes to balance the drone. 4. After each push, wait 2 seconds to watch the drone’s movement. If it still drifts, push the joystick backward again. 5. Repeat STEP 4 until the drone drifts forward no more. * You can also fix the Backward/Sideward Trim using a similar method, i.e., pushing the right joystick to the direction opposite the drift.

3.Tap the ” ” icon again to turn off Orbit Flight.

APP OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Headless Mode
The Headless Mode is a great training tool for beginner pilots. It is also useful when the drone is too far from the pilot (which makes it difficult to tell its orientation). It keeps the drone traveling forward, backward, left, or right when you move the right joystick in those directions, regardless of which way the front of the drone is pointed.

The pilot should stay facing the same direction that the drone’s head points to when it takes off.

1. First tap the ” ” icon on the app interface, then select ” ” icon

by tapping on it. Follow the instructions in the prompt box to activate

Headless Mode.

2. Tap the ”

” icon again. The drone exits Headless Mode.

APP OPERATION INSTRUCTION

• Why is the orientation of the drone important? In normal flying mode, the control of the drone movement can sometimes be counter-intuitive for beginners. For instance, when the drone is in the air with its head pointing to your right, if you push the right joystick forward, the drone will fly to your right, instead of flying forward. With the headless mode, the drone has a fixed “head.” In Headless Mode, the drone always remembers the side its head points to during takeoff as the front side. This means that if the drone takes off with its head pointing forward, it doesn’t matter how the drone is oriented in the air, when you push the right joystick forward, the drone will fly forward. Or, when its head is pointing to you, if you push the right joystick to the left, the drone will fly to your left.
  Photo/Video
  Tap the ” ” icon to take a photo. Tap the ” ” icon to start a recording. Tap again to stop recording. Tap the ” ” icon to view the photos and video in the app’s gallery. é If a TF card is inserted into the drone previously, the photos and the videos will be saved to the app album, the cellphone album and the TF card. ê If no TF card is inserted, the photos and the videos will be saved to the app album and the cellphone album. To view them through the app, you need to first connect the mobile phone to the Wi-Fi network generated by the drone.
