3/PRODUCT FUNCTIONS PRODUCT FUNCTIONS /3
The GPS Return to Home (RTH) function brings the drone back to the home point. As the name
indicated, this function can only be triggered when the drone is in GPS mode.
There are 3 types of RTH: Smart RTH, Failsafe RTH and Low Voltage RTH.
Short press the ( ) button to activate Smart RTH. The drone will fly back to the last recorded
Home Point.
During Smart RTH, the transmitter will keep on beeping. Short press the ( ) button again to
exit Smart RTH.
Smart RTH：
If the transmitter loses the connection with the drone, the Failsafe RTH will be automatically
triggered. The drone will fly back to the last recorded Home Point.
During Failsafe RTH, the drone will try to re-establish connection with the transmitter. Once
the connection is re-established, the pilot can manually end the RTH procedure by pressing
the ( )button again, thus regaining control of the drone.

During the first stage of Low Voltage RTH, the transmitter will keep beeping, and the LCD screen
will display "GOING HOME." The drone then generates a "safe zone" (flight distance ≤ 98 ft,
flight altitude ≤ 66 ft). The drone can only fly within the safe zone during this stage. There are
3 possible RTH procedures during this stage.
Low Voltage RTH：(The first stageas )
a
When the flight altitude of the drone is
higher than RA, the drone will descend to RA
and fly back over the Home Point. It will then
descend to 66 ft and hover there. The RTH
ends.
Flight altitude＞RA
c
When the flight altitude is lower than RA, the
drone will first ascend to RA and fly back
over the Home Point. It will then descend to
66 ft and hover there. The RTH ends.
Flight altitude＜RA
b
When the flight altitude is equal to RA, the
drone will keep its current altitude and fly
back over the Home Point. It will then
descend to 66 ft and hover there. The RTH
ends.

The drone is NOT equipped with obstacle avoidance.
During your flight, DO NOT turn the transmitter off. Otherwise the Failsafe RTH will be automatically
triggered due to the connection break.
The transmitter keeps on producing long beeps, the LCD screen displays "GOING HOME," the
battery level bar on the screen keeps flashing. The drone will automatically fly back to the
Home Point and land. There are 2 possible RTH procedures during this stage.
Low Voltage RTH：(The second stageas )
