FLIGHT OPERATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT

• Make sure you power on the drone first, then the remote on each flight.
• Do repeat the pairing procedure each time when the drone or remote is restarted.
• For all flight functions and modes, the operator and tail of the drone must be aligned.
• We recommend flying in the open air and within the control range.

Remote Operation Guide
Pair the Remote with the Drone
Step 1:
Long press the ON/OFF button for 3s until the four Battery Level Indicators light up to turn on the drone. The front LEDs flash red and the rear LEDs flash green when the drone is powered on. Place the drone on a flat surface with the head forward.

  Tip:
Long press the ON/OFF button to turn off the drone.
Step 2:
Press the ON/OFF button down to turn on the remote, and you’ll hear a beep from it.

Tip:
Press the ON/OFF button again to turn off the remote.
Step 3:
Push the Left Control Stick forward to the top, then pull it back to the bottom. Pairing is completed when you hear a long beep from the remote; the front LEDs of the drone turn solid red and the rear LEDs solid green.

Flight Calibration
1. Compass Calibration
Step 1:
Long press the button until you hear a beep from the remote to start compass calibration. The front LEDs of the drone flash red and the rear LEDs flash green.

Step 2:
Hold the drone horizontally and make a full rotation at least twice until you hear a beep from the remote, which indicates a successful horizontal calibration. The front LEDs of the drone turn solid red.

Step 3:
Hold the drone vertically with its head facing down and make a full rotation at least twice until you hear a beep from the remote, which indicates a successful vertical calibration. The rear LEDs of the drone turn solid green.

2. Gyro Calibration
Place the drone on a flat surface after finishing compass calibration. Push both control sticks to the lower left at 45° and there is a beep from the remote. Gyro calibration completes when the front LEDs turn solid red and the rear LEDs solid green.

GPS Satellites Searching
Wait for the drone to search satellites. When you hear a long beep from the remote and the drone’s rear LEDs turn to flash green, the drape has „ found enough satellites and is ready to take off in GPS Mode.

The drone is set to GPS Mode by default. In this mode, the drone utilizes the GPS module to locate itself and make a precise hovering flight.
Notes:

1. GPS Mode works only when there is a strong GPS signal. Please fly the drone outdoors.
2. We strongly recommend this mode for beginners.

The rear LEDs remain solid green if the drone can’t find enough satellites. Please go to another place to fly the drone if you want it to take off in GPS Mode.

If you still want the drone to take off when GPS Mode is unavailable, you can switch it to Attitude (ATTI) Mode (refer to Page 20).

2. We recommend ATTI Mode only when the pilot has proficient skills in operating the drone.

Return-to-Home (RTH)
The Return-to-Home(RTH) function brings the drone back to the last recorded Home Point where the drone took off last time. RTH works only when the GPS signal is strong enough and the compass functions normally.
Smart RTH
Press the   button on the remote to initiate Smart RTH.
* RTH Distance:
The distance between the drone and the last recorded Home Point where the drone took off last time.

1. Current Flight Altitude <Preset RTH Altitude
The drone will first ascend to the preset RTH altitude, then fly back and land.

2. Current Flight Altitude ≥ Preset RTH Altitude
The drone will directly fly back at its current flight altitude and land.

Press the button again to cancel RTH and regain control of the drone.

Notes:

1. The RTH altitude is 15m by default. You can reset it in the Settings of the Snaptain Atlas App.

Failsafe RTH
Failsafe RTH will be activated automatically when the drone disconnects with the remote. The drone will fly back to the last recorded Home Point under the control of the flight system itself.
The process of Failsafe RTH is the same as Smart RTH.
If the connection between the remote and the drone is re-established, the pilot can cancel RTH by pressing the button and regain control of the drone. If no operation is performed, the RTH process will continue.
When the remote disconnects with the drone and the GPS Mode are not available, the drone will slowly descend from the current altitude till landing.

Low Battery RTH
1. The Low Battery RTH will be triggered when the drone battery is low.

|
---|---
Drone battery status shows 2 bars on the App.| There are continuous beeps from the remote.

The drone will fly back to where RTH distance is 20m and hover, and RTH will be canceled automatically. The drone can’t fly beyond 20m anymore no matter how the pilot operates.

Note: If you cancel Low Battery RTH, it won’t be triggered again unless the battery is critically low.
2. The Critical Low Battery RTH will be triggered when the drone battery is critically low. The drone will automatically fly back and land on the last recorded Home Point.

|
---|---
Drone battery status shows 1 bar on the App.| There are continuous beeps from the remote

Note: The drone can’t avoid obstacles automatically during RTH.
Landing
Option 1: Press the button to land the drone.
