7.2.3 Controller Signal Alerts
Flying behind solid objects, like buildings and trees, blocks communication signals between Solo and the controller.
Always maintain visual contact with Solo to ensure that the signal is unobstructed. Cell phone towers and nearby
Wi-Fi signals can cause interference with the communication system and decrease its range. To prevent signal
interference, avoid flying in populated areas.
If the controller becomes unpaired from Solo during flight, the controller displays the following alert and Solo initates
Return Home. See Section 10.3 for pairing instructions.
Figure 7.2.3.1: Controller - Controller Disconnected Alert
If the signal between Solo and the controller is lost during flight, the controller displays the “Controller signal lost”
alert and Solo initiates Return Home. If signal is recovered while returning home, the controller displays the “Signal
recovered” alert and provides the option to regain manual control by pressing the Fly button.

7.2.4 GPS Signal Alerts
If Solo loses GPS during flight, it switches into Fly:Manual. If this happens, we recommend that you land Solo and
wait to acquire GPS lock before taking off again.
In Fly:Manual, Solo uses the same joystick controls as in standard flight (displayed as “Fly”), but it does not use
GPS positioning. Thus, Solo does not hold its position when you rlease the right stick, so you must maintain close
control over roll, pitch, and yaw. Without GPS, Pause, Return Home, and Smart Shots are not available. During
Land, Solo cannot maintain position due to the lack of GPS positioning, and drifts according to wind and other
environmental conditions. If another alert occurs while Solo is in Fly:Manual, Solo cannot return home and instead
initiates a non-positioned landing at the current location.
