Auto Go Home
If the drone has been started up correctly and the GPS signal is good (with 6 or
more satellites are found), the drone can undergo Go-Home features when it lost
signal with radio controller
1) If the attitude of the drone more than 20 meters, it will go home horizontally.
2) If the attitude of the drone below 20 meters, it will ascend to 20 meters and go
home horizontally.
3) If the attitude of the drone is below 20 meters and behind an object, there is
high risk of crash during ascends.
4) If the drone go home path is blocked by object, there is high risk of crash during
“auto-go home”process.
Important - How to take over the control again during “Auto Go Home”
When the drone is undergoing auto go home feature, you can take over the control
again by performing the following procedures.
If the transmitter is on, push the throttle stick to middle
position and then switch the G Switch Down(towards
you)and Up(away from you)and you can control the
drone again.
If the transmitter is off, push throttle stick to down position,
turn on the transmitter, push throttle to middle, switch the G
switch Down(towards you)and Up(away from you) to take over the control again.

Compass Calibration
Please follow the following procedures to calibrate the compass calibration
1) Switch the G switch up and down quickly for 6 to 10
times, The LED indicator on the drone will turn on
constantly yellow.
2) (Fig.1) Hold your Multi-rotor horizontal and rotate it
around the gravitational force line (about 360o) until the
LED on the drone changes to constant green, and then go to the next step.
3) (Fig.2) Hold your Multi-rotor vertically and rotate it (nose down & tail up) around
the gravitational force line (about 360 o) until the LED turns off, meaning the
calibration is finished
4) If the calibration was successful, calibration mode will exit automatically.
5) If the LED keeps flashing quickly Red, the calibration has failed. Switch the
control mode switch one time to cancel the calibration, and then re-start from
step 2.

FPV System
Our TS5823 video transmitter has up to 32 different video channels available to avoid interference
with other channels.
If two or more drones are flying at the same time,
try to select different video frequency to avoid
video interference. The bigger different in video
frequency between drones, the less interference
generated.
Default Setting is channel 5665M.
Always check the supported channels of you FPV
reception devices such as monitor, goggle
