Return to Home Mode 

When return mode is activated, the IF1200 will automatically return to its home 
position. The home position is set by the location where the IF1200 is armed. If the 
drone is below an altitude of 30 meters, it will first rise to 30 meters before 
returning to its home position in a straight line. Upon reaching its destination, the 
IF1200 will slowly descend until it lands. This altitude of 30 meters can be adjusted 
in the ‘Safety’ tab within QGroundControl. 
 

Note: ​

If while flying in an autonomous mode the aircraft is behaving 

unexpectedly, dangerously or abnormally, switch to position mode to regain 
control. Any input on the transmitter’s joysticks during an autonomous mission 
will revert control back to the operator. 

 

Caution:​

 The IF1200 is automatically set to return to launch as a failsafe when the 

battery voltage gets too low to continue flight; however, keep an eye on the 
battery level in QGC and replace the batteries conservatively to mitigate risk. 

 

This mode is recommended for normal landings and for landing after an 
autonomous mission. 
 

Kill Switch 

In the event of an emergency where it is best to get the drone down as soon as 
possible without concern of the aircraft itself, there is the option to kill the motors 
completely. The kill switch has been located away from other main controls on 
both controllers to avoid an accidental switching. 
 

 

 

If using a Jeti DS-12 Controller: 

  

Switching flight modes on the Jeti DS-12 Controller is achieved by flipping the three-way 
switch on the top right on the controller’s face (‘K’ on DS-12 Controller diagram) to one of 
three positions.  
 
Position Mode:​ Top/middle switch position 
Return to Home Mode:​ ​Bottom switch position 

 

If using a Herelink Controller: 

 

Switching flight modes on the Herelink Controller is achieved by pressing the 
corresponding buttons on the controller’s face.  
 
Position Mode:​ Short press button A (Flight Mode Switch Button, labeled ‘G’ on Herelink 
Controller diagram.)
