2.3 Drone and Remote Control Pairing

Power on the drone and then the remote control. Follow the on-screen prompts in the Holy Stone app to pair the devices. This typically involves calibrating the drone's compass and gyroscope. Ensure you are in an open area away from magnetic interference during calibration.

After successful pairing and GPS signal acquisition, place the drone on a flat, open surface. Use the one-key takeoff button for automatic ascent. Control the drone's movement using the joysticks on the remote control. For landing, use the one-key landing function or manually descend.

3.2 Advanced Flight Features

The HS440G includes several intelligent flight modes:

• Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or the mobile device, capturing footage as you move.
• Waypoint Flight: Plan a custom flight path by tapping desired points on the map within the app. The drone will fly along this predefined route.
• Point of Interest: Select a central point, and the drone will circle around it at a specified radius and altitude, keeping the point in frame.
• Auto Return (RTH): With GPS enabled, the drone can automatically return to its takeoff point in cases of low battery, signal loss, or manual activation.

Always operate the drone in open, clear areas away from obstacles, people, and animals. Avoid flying in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
