To enable the return function, press and hold down the push button for the return function (see Figure 18, no. 3).
To indicate that the return function has been enabled, the transmitter emits a short beep. The quadrocopter tilts
backwardsandstartstoybackwards.
Assoonasthequadrocopterhasownbackwardfarenough,movethetransmitterinanydirectionsimilartothepitch
and roll control and the return function will be terminated automatically.
Caution!
When enabling the return function, the remote control transmitter must not be moved at the same time as
this would disable the function immediately. The quadrocopter would then tilt back once shortly and go back
into hover.
