Remote Controller Communication Range

• When operating an aircraft, it is necessary to timely adjust the orientation and distance between the remote controller and the aircraft, as well as adjust the antenna position to ensure that the aircraft always remains within the optimal communication range.
• When the antenna and the back of the remote controller form a 180° or 270° angle, and the antenna plane is facing the aircraft, it can ensure that the signal quality between the remote controller and the aircraft reaches the optimal state

Note: Please do not use other communication devices on the same frequency band simultaneously to avoid interference with the remote controller signal.
