Intel Falcon 8+ User Manual page 64

There are three different Link Loss Procedures available. One of them must be chosen
deliberately each time the UAS is switched on. Every flight may require a different
procedures. Therefore, please chose the procedure carefully considering the current
mission.
With the RIGHT/LEFT buttons you switch between the three procedures. By pushing
ENT you select the procedure shown on the screen of the Status Display.
Figure 3-7. The Link Loss Procedures
Home position
The home position is set automatically each time the motors are started.

ComeHome Straight
In case the connection between the CTR and the UAV
gets lost (if it is higher than 20 m above the take-off
height) the UAV will stop at its current position and fly
back to the home position (where the motors were
started) at its current height. 
If the UAV is lower than 20 m at the time the
connection is lost, it will first ascend to approx. 20 m
above take-off height and then fly back to the home
position. Once the UAV has reached the spot above
the home position, it will descend at 1.5 m/s until it
lands.
ComeHome High
In case the connection between CTR and UAV gets
lost, the UAV will stop at its current position and
ascend. After arriving at the maximum altitude, that
was reached during this flight, it will fly back to the
home position and descend with 1.5 m/s until it lands.
Warning: 
If the battery is low at the end of a flight, the
extra power needed for the ascend could
deplete the battery and lead to a critical
situation.
Direct Landing
In case the connection between CTR and UAV gets
lost, the UAV will stop and start a controlled descend
at 1.5 m/s at its current position until it lands. If no
GPS signal is available, the UAV will always use
Direct Landing
Please note that in a situation without GPS signal, the
UAV will drift with the wind while descending.
It is possible to define a new home position while the UAV is
in the air.

You enter the shown menu.
2. Push the arrow RIGHT button one time to highlight
