3DR Solo S110A, User Manual

Page: 51 / 70

If Solo recovers GPS during flight, Solo switches from Fly:Manual to standard flight (Fly), and GPS positioning
activates. The following displays show (from left to right) the “GPS lost” alert, Solo in Fly:Manual, and “GPS
recovered” alert. For optimal GPS signal strength, always choose a location with a clear view of the sky.

7.2.5 Flight Battery Alerts
The controller monitors the Solo battery during flight and displays alerts when the battery reaches critical levels. At
25% and 10% power remaining, the controller displays a “Return home soon” alert recommending that you end
your flight to prevent an automatic landing.
Figure 7.2.5.1: Controller - Low Battery Alerts
If the battery reaches 5%, Solo initiates Return Home to prevent a crash. After landing, turn off Solo immediately; if
the battery level reaches 0% at any time, irreversible damage occurs and the battery should be recycled.
Figure 7.2.5.2: Controller - Critical Battery Alert
7.2.6 Controller Battery Alerts
When the controller battery level reaches 10%, the controller displays an alert to notify you to charge the controller
at your next opportunity. At 5%, the controller prompts you to end your flight and charge the controller. If the
controller battery reaches a critical level in flight, Solo initiates Return Home. The following displays show (left to
right) the 10%, 5%, and 0% alerts:
