   Pic 19

Headless Mode

1. Slide the Headless Mode button, when the "" icon appears on the LCD screen, it means to enter the Headless Mode.
2. Slide the Headless Mode button again, when the "" icon on the LCD screen disappears, it means to exit the Headless Mode.
   (Each time the transmitter is turned on, the Headless Mode is turned off by default.)

Please make sure the pilot to stays in the same orientation as the drone head is facing when the drone takes off.

Under Headless Mode, the forward direction is the direction that the head of drone faces when the drone takes off.
In order to make sure the pilot can tell drone's direction, we recommend that pilots to stay in the same orientation as the drone head faces when the drone is taking off.
If so, when the pilot pushes the direction joystick forward/backward, the drone will fly forward/backward toward him/her. If the pilot move the right stick left/right, the drone will move left/right relative to the pilot.

Return to Home(RTH)

The Return to Home function brings the drone back to the last recorded Home Point.
The Home Point is the location at which the drone takes off or during flight, the GPS receives a signal from 7 or more satellites for the first time, the current position of the drone will be recorded as the Home Point.

Smart RTH

If the GPS signal is available (7 or more satellites reception) and the home point is recorded previously, press the "" button on the transmitter, the drone will fly back to the Home Point.
Exit the RTH mode by pressing the "" button again or push the Throttle Joystick.

Failsafe RTH

If the GPS signal is available (At least 7 satellites) and the home point is recorded previously. Failsafe Return will be triggered if the transmitter signal is lost for more than 6 seconds. The drone will automatically start the return procedure and it will fly back to the last recorded Home Point. You can exit "Failsafe RTH" mode by press the "Return to Home" button or push the Throttle Joystick if the transmitter signal is recovered.

• During the Failsafe Return procedure, the drone can not avoid obstacles.
• The drone cannot Return-to-Home if the GPS signal is weak (satellites number is less than 7).
• If there is no GPS signal and transmitter signal lost for more than 6 seconds, the drone will not Return-to-Home but descend slowly until lands on the ground and locks the drone.

Low Voltage RTH

1. When the drone's rear lights flash slowly, the "" symbol is displayed on the screen of the transmitter, the First Low Voltage RTH will be triggered. And the drone will return automatically in the following two conditions: (At this time, the drone can only fly within a safe range of no more than 98 feet in height and no more than 328 feet in distance.)
   1. When the filght altitude is higher than 98 feet, the drone will fly back above the Home Point then descend automatically to 98 feet high and exit the First Low Voltage RTH.
      
   2. When the filght altitude is lower than 98 feet, the drone will elevate automatically to 98 feet high then fly back above the Home Point and exit the First Low Voltage RTH.
      
2. When the drone's rear lights flash quickly, the "" symbol is displayed on the screen of the transmitter, and the transmitter sounds "Di..., Di...". At this moment, the Second Low Voltage RTH will be triggered.
   1. When the filght altitude is higher than or equal to 50 feet, the drone will keep the current altitude and return Flight Altitude ≥ 50 feet above the Home Point then desend vertically.
      
   2. When the filght altitude is lower than 50 feet, the drone will elevate automatically to 50 feet high then fly back above the Home Point and desend vertically.
