GPS Mode
GPS mode enables precise positioning and prevents drone loss.
Simply move the GPS switch to the on position before operating the
drone to use all of the GPS features such as
Return to Home and
Low Voltage Return To Home. You must wait approximately 1-2
minutes until you achieve a GPS signal of at least 7.
Headless Mode
Headless Mode will cause the flight controller to “remember” which
direction is "forward" when the drone is ready to fly, and use that
direction as "forward“, “backward”, “left”, or “right” regardless of the
current orientation of the drone.
To enable headless mode move the headless mode switch to the on
position before the drone takes off. Next, you’re required to position the
drone in such a way that it’s front end faces away from you and the
drone’s back end is facing you. You can give up worrying about
orientation altogether with headless mode enabled and it is a great way
for novice pilots to get used to flying a drone.
The Return-to-Home(RTH) procedure brings the drone back to the last
recorded Home Point. There are 3 types of RTH procedures: smart RTH,
failsafe RTH and low battery RTH.
The following section describes the home point and GPS signal in detail.
Smart RTH
If a strong GPS signal is available (more than 7 satellites on the LCD
screen) and the home point is recorded at takeoff, press the return
home button. The drone will fly back to the home point. You can use the
remote controller to guide the drone around obstacles during the smart
RTH procedure. You can press the RTH button again to exit RTH
procedure and regain the control of the drone.

Description
Home
Point
The Home Point is the location from
where the drone takes off. A strong
signal of at least 7 must be present
prior to take off in order for the drone
to remember the home point.
Please not that the drone does not have sensors allowing it to avoid
obstacles. The drone must always be flown in a wide open area and
must be manually controlled to avoid obstacles. Use caution when using
the return home function and make sure the drone does not end up on
a rooftop, a tree, or any other obstacle that may be in the way during
return and descent.
