## Return-to-Home (RTH) The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircra ft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Batte ry RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

GPS Description

Home Point If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launche d. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.


## Smart RTH Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to in itiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatical ly return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller’s control sticks to control t he aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button on ce to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

## Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when th e DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a p oint that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users a re advised to return home or land the aircraft imme diately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Poin t if no action is taken after a ten-second countdow n. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the R TH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined bas ed on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long e nough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircra ft’s orientation during the landing process.
