WiFi indicator will flash slowly to indicate that the smartphone range extender has been
successfully paired with the onboard camera.

range extender and connect the adapter to charge. It will take approximately 2 hours for the

of water etc.
- Do not fly in a complex electromagnetic environment (such as near mobile phone case
stations or towers) to avoid transmitter interference.
