Failsafe and Return to +ome


 5he Return to )ome feature will /05 work if the (1S signal is insuffcient or if (1S is not active.


 1ress the R5) 	Return to )ome
 #utton on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the )ome 

1oint instead of turning off the remote controller. 


 5all buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. 1lease adKust the aircraft location, altitude and 

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.


 Make sure to always ny the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.


 0nly use the Failsafe and Return to )ome functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the 

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic felds.

 5he aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe R5) therefore it is important to set an appropriate 

Failsafe altitude before each night.


 When nying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when nying above the surfaces that do 

not have a clear pattern. Refer to the “Vision 1ositioning System” section for complete indoor nying criteria. 

/ow Battery


 When the Critical #attery -evel Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may 

push the throttle up to maintain the aircrafths altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for 

landing.


 When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the )ome 1oint or land to avoid 

losing power during night and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.

9ision Positioning 6ystem


 5he Vision 1ositioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do /05 have pattern variations. 

5he effective altitude for the Vision 1ositioning System to function correctly is less than . feet 	. 

meters
 above ground level 	A(-
.


 5he Vision 1ositioning System may /05 function properly when the aircraft is nying over water.


 ,eep your pets away from the aircraft when the Vision 1ositioning System is activated, as the sonar 

sensors emit a high freRuency sound that is only audible to some pets. 


 /ote that the Vision 1ositioning System may /05 function properly when the aircraft is nying too fast or too 

low.


 0perate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations

a
 Flying over monochrome surfaces 	e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green
.

b
 Flying over highly renective surfaces

c
 Flying at high speeds 	over ms at  meters or over ms at  meter


d
 Flying over water or transparent surfaces

e
 Flying over moving surfaces or obKects

 f
 Flying in an area where the lighting changes freRuently or drastically

g
 Flying over eYtremely dark 	luY  
 or bright 	luY  ,
 surfaces

h
 Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves 	e.g., thick carpet
.

 i 
 Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or teYture

 K 
 Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or teYtures 	e.g. tiles with same design


k
 Flying over inclined surfaces that will denect sound waves away from the aircraft


 In the event of loss of the remote controllers signal, the aircraft will hover for  seconds and then autoland 

if it is in “1” mode.
