9 Product Functions Profile
9.1 Return to Home

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the drone back to the Home Point. This function can only be achieved under GPS mode. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Fail connection RTH. If the drone have successfully recorded the Take off Point and the GPS signal is strong, the RTH will be triggered when either the Smart RTH is initiated, the drone battery level is low, or when the signal between the drone and remote controller is lost.

Home Point

GPS

Description
The default Home Point is the first location where the drone received a strong or moderately strong GPS signal (3 or more satellite reception).

Smart RTH Smart RTH can bring the drone back to the Home Point. It is initiated by either clicking the button once on the remote controller or on the app, the remote controller will alert with a “DI DI” sound. Click the button again cancel the RTH process.
Fail Connection RTH If the Home Point has been recorded successfully and the compass function can work normally, the Fail Connection RTH function will be triggered once the remote controller signal is lost, the drone will return to the Home point in straight line. The drone may link to the remote controller automatically during the RTH process, if connected successfully, the RTH process will stop.

F11GIM2 User Manual
Low-Battery RTH Low-Battery RTH is triggered when the drone battery level is low, this function is triggered automatically, drone will first rise to the setted return altitude and fly back to the Home Point, this process is unable to cancel, but it is allowed to control the drone with direction joystick to land it in a safe area. If the battery can’t support the drone fly back to the Home Point, it will land automatically where it is, and the remote controller dirction joystick is available during landing.
Cautions Never turn off the remote controller during RTH process. Set a proper return home altitude on the app before take-off. NO obstacle avoidance function is available with this drone. When flight distance less than 98 ft, the drone flies back at the current altitude instead of setted return altitude, make sure it flies higher than any other objects surrounding. When flight distance further than 98 ft, make sure the drone has enough battery to fly back. The drone can NOT return to Home Point without a strong GPS signal.
