More
In the sidebar of the “Settings” interface, click the “O” icon to enter the “More” interface, where you can configure unit settings, light settings, safety, target recognition settings, and the language settings of the Autel Enterprise App for the aircraft and manually check for updates to the App or firmware.

Unit Settings
Click “Units Settings”, and then set “Speed/Distance Units”, “Area Units”, “Temperature Units”, and “Coordinate Format” according to your needs. After the setting, the Autel Enterprise App will display relevant parameters in the specified units.

Light Settings
Click “Light Settings”, and then set “Stealth”, “Strobe”, and “Aux Light” according to your needs.
Turn On/Off Stealth Mode
Click the button to the right of “Stealth” to turn on or off stealth mode.

• If stealth mode is turned on, the arm lights, strobe, and auxiliary bottom light will be turned off by default.
• If stealth mode is turned off, you can configure the strobe and auxiliary bottom light .

Warning

• Turning off the arm lights and strobe may violate local laws and regulations. Only turn on stealth mode when necessary.

• Turn On/Off Strobe
  Click the button to the right of “Strobe” to turn on or off the strobe on the top of the fuselage .

• When flying at night, please turn on the strobe to ensure flight safety.

• Do not look directly at the strobe while they are on to avoid vision damage caused by strong light.

Set Aux Light
Click the drop-down list of “Aux Light” and then select “Auto”, “On”, or “Off’ according to your needs.

• If “Auto” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is automatically turned on or off according to ambient brightness.
• If “On” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is always on by default.
• If “Off” is selected, the auxiliary bottom light is off by default.

Tip The auxiliary bottom light is mainly used to enhance the ambient brightness of the landing point during the landing of the aircraft, improve the sensing performance of the downward visual sensing system, and ensure landing safety.

Turn On/Off Visual Positioning
Click “Safety”, and then click the button to the right of “Visual Positioning” to turn on or off the visual positioning function.

Click “Safety”, and then click the button to the right of “GNSS” to turn on or off the GNSS positioning function.

• If “Auto” is selected, the aircraft will automatically select the best GNSS positioning signal.
• If “Beidou” is selected, the aircraft will only receive GNSS positioning signals from the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System .

Warning

• For non-specialized operations, it is recommended to always turn on GNSS positioning. GNSS positioning can enhance the flight safety of the aircraft.
• When GNSS positioning is turned on and the aircraft are flying in an environment with good lighting and rich texture, the aircraft will enter the visual positioning mode.
• When GNSS positioning is turned off and the aircraft are flying in an environment with poor lighting or insufficient texture, the aircraft will enter the ATTI mode. In this mode, the aircraft has high safety risks and is prone to flight accidents.
• If you choose to turn off the GNSS positioning function and this leads to flight accidents or aircraft damage, Autel Robotics will not provide warranty services. Instead, you should be responsible for any related accidents on your own.
• The “Beidou” navigation mode is a specific function for China. In other regions, “Auto” is selected by default to automatically select the GNSS positioning signal. After switching the navigation mode, you must restart the aircraft for the changes to take effect.
• After the GNSS positioning function is turned off, the aircraft cannot turn on the auto-return function.
