When Low-Battery RTH is activated, the drone will fly back to about 100 feet away from you, where you can control the drone. Pull the throttle down to land the drone in a safe area. When the battery of the drone is completely empty, the drone will return to the take-off point where you set.
3. Fail connection Return-to-Home (RTH) The drone will enter the Return-to-Home Mode if the signal to the remote control is lost. Re-sync the remote control to the drone if the drone flies back into your view. Pull the throttle down to land the drone at safe area.

Headless Mode

1. The drone defaults to Normal Mode when the drone and remote control are matched successfully. Click (compass) to enter into Headless mode. Click @ (compass) again to exit Headless mode.

3. Headless Mode: Before take off, the white lights on the drone indicate the forward-facing direction. When the drone rotates in flight, the flight direction is not changed.

While in Headless Mode, the forward direction is the direction the pilot faces when the pilot pairs the drone with the remote control. If the pilot pushes the direction joystick forward the drone will fly forward. If the pilot pushes the direction joystick backward, the drone will fly towards him/her. If the pilot moves the right stick left or right, then the drone will also move left or right, relative to the pilot. It is very important that the pilot does not change positions or the direction he or she is facing because this will cause confusion on the drone.
