3 Compass calibration

If the magnetic field changes, the compass needs to be recalibrated to 
ensure flight safety. If the aircraft's compass needs to be calibrated, the 
remote controller will give a prompt.

     After entering the remote controller menu, please select compass calibration, 
     and then calibrate based on prompts on the screen.

     If the green indicator of the aircraft flashes in pairs, please turn the aircraft 
     horizontally according to the figure.

     If the red indicator of the aircraft flashes in pairs, please turn the aircraft 
     vertically according to the figure.

     Successful calibration: The remote controller screen shows successful 
     calibration, and the aircraft indicator returns to the status indication in the 
     current mode.

     Unsuccessful calibration:  The remote controller screen shows unsuccessful 
     calibration. Please return to the menu to reselect compass calibration.
