Home Point
When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as
the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being
able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.

（1） In a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft
will descend automatically.
In Phantom 2 mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “Ready to fly” status
as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote
control from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as
a new home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on
the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of “home point” is:
（1） The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 returns to when the control signal is lost, which is
recorded last time.
（2） The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the
distance will be displayed as
D
if using iOSD module.
