8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your K600GPS-C drone, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone does not respond to remote control. | Not paired, low battery, out of range. | Ensure both drone and remote are powered on and paired. Recharge batteries. Fly within operational range. |
| Drone drifts during flight. | Gyroscope not calibrated, strong wind. | Perform gyroscope calibration on a flat surface. Avoid flying in windy conditions. |
| Poor video transmission or freezing. | Interference, drone too far, low battery. | Fly in an open area away from obstacles. Keep drone within optimal transmission range (within 50 meters for best video). Ensure batteries are charged. |
| Drone does not return to home point accurately. | Weak GPS signal, strong wind, RTH initiated indoors. | Ensure strong GPS signal before takeoff. Avoid strong winds. RTH is designed for outdoor GPS-enabled flight. |
| Battery not charging. | Faulty cable/adapter, battery issue. | Try a different USB cable and power adapter. If issue persists, contact customer support. |
