In Smart Mode Typhoon H will always move in the direction the right-hand

control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the
front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left, Typhoon H will always
move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it's
spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while
flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.
*ADDITIONAL SMART MODE FEATURES
FOLLOW ME
The Follow Me function allows Typhoon H to
follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the
location of the ST16 Ground Station. This
function is enabled when
positioning completes, and Typhoon H is
using shared GPS signal with the ST16
Ground Station. When Follow Me is activated,
the background of the 'Follow' character will
be red and the icon of Follow [ ] will be
highlighted in white. Typhoon H will follow
the movement of ST16 Ground Station if
there is no extra operation on the ST16
Ground Station. The flight status is also control-
lable when you operate the ST16 and CGO3+.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In Follow Me, the aircraft
will maintain a constant altitude and cannot
detect obstacles. Pilots who change their
altitude during flight should be mindful of
this.

FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
WATCH ME
Watch Me enables the camera to keep tracking the remote controller no matter
where and how it moves as the camera can automatically tilt its angle according
to the controller. Usually, the default function under Smart Mode is Follow Me.
Watch Me function can be switched to by following steps:
In Watch Me, the pilot will always be kept in the frame wherever they move.
Watch Me/Follow Me Button: When in Smart Mode, press [
Typhoon H between the Watch Me and Follow Me function. The Follow Me
function is the default setting, and the icon [
white and the background of Follow character will turn red. If it is NOT
AVAILABLE, it means the ST16's GPS isn't ready yet. Please wait.
Press [ ] ,and the background of the 'Watch' character will turn red and the icon of
Watch [ ] will be highlighted white. The Follow [
of the Follow character will turn black. This means the Watch Me function is now enabled.
SMART CIRCLE
In most cases the Smart Circle will keep Typhoon H from coming within approxi-
mately 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26
feet/8 meters behind Typhoon H.
GEO-FENCE
The geo-fence is a virtual barrier that will keep Typhoon H from traveling farther
than 300 feet (91 meters). The geo-fence only works in Smart Mode. Although
this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we
strongly recommend using the default limit at all times.
SMART CIRCLE WARNING: Smart Mode only works when Typhoon H has a suitable GPS
signal/lock. If you take off in Smart Mode and Typhoon H loses GPS signal/lock
it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recom-
mend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you
lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle
(Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the ST16 Ground Station is connected to less than 6
satellites, the 'FOLLOW ME' feature will be disabled.
