z Failsafe
The Failsafe function is designed to help your X-Star/X-Star Premium
automatically return home or land onsite when necessary.
• Communication Lost
Failsafe will be triggered 5s after the communication between your
aircraft and remote controller gets lost.
If GPS is available when Failsafe is activated, the aircraft will start the Go
Home procedure automatically.
If GPS is unavailable (i.e. less than 6 satellites are found) when Failsafe
is activated, the aircraft will hover for 10s. If 6 or more satellites are
found during this period, the aircraft will start the Go Home procedure;
otherwise, the aircraft will land onsite.
• Low Aircraft Battery
Failsafe will also be activated if one of the following low battery conditions
are met.
A. Your aircraft’s battery constantly calculates the required battery level
for the aircraft to return to the home point from its current location.
When the battery level reaches the minimum level required for the
aircraft to return to the home point, Failsafe will be activated and your
aircraft will automatically Go Home. You can regain control of the
aircraft during the Go Home process ( 32).
B. Anytime your aircraft’s remaining battery level reaches 25% (Low
Battery Warning), Failsafe will be activated and your aircraft will
automatically Go Home. If you choose to regain control during this
process, the aircraft will automatically land onsite when the remaining
battery reaches 15% (Critical Low Battery Warning). In this case,
you may push the Ascent stick to stop the aircraft landing and
command it to y away from the current location for a safe landing in
case of an emergency.
NOTE
• If the aircraft is only within 50m away from the home point
when your aircraft’s battery level reaches 25% (Low Battery
Warning), the aircraft will not perform the Go Home procedure.
• If GPS is unavailable when Failsafe is activated at Low Battery
Warning, Go Home procedure will not be executed. In this
case, the aircraft will land automatically when the remaining
battery level reaches 15% (Critical Low Battery Warning).
z Go Home
The Go Home function only works in GPS mode. To manually activate the
Go Home function, you can press the Go Home button ( ) on the remote
controller.
When the Go Home command has been successfully received, the aircraft
automatically maneuvers itself to return directly and land at the preset home
point. Make sure there are no buildings or other obstacles in the ight path.
When Go Home is activated, the remote controller’s functionality will be
disabled temporarily while the aircraft returns to the home point. The remote
controller’s functionality can be regained during this period, allowing you to
stop the aircraft Going Home when you consider it is safe.
IMPORTANT
• When the Go Home function is activated, for safety reasons, if the
aircraft is hovering at the altitude lower than 30 meters , it will ascend
to an altitude of 30 meters above the home point before starting to
return. You can adjust the Go Home altitude in the app: Settings
( ) > Flight Control Settings ( ) > Go Home Altitude
( 51).
• If the Go Home function is activated within 10 meters radius from
the home point, the aircraft will land automatically onsite.
¾ To manually regain control of the aircraft during Go Home
procedure:
Push the Ascent stick to the position of 90% in range and hold for 2
seconds (illustration below as mode 2). The aircraft will stop ying towards
the home point and may y upward slightly when the remote controller
control is recovered.
Alternatively, you can simply press the Pause Button ( ) to regain
control of your aircraft.
