Risk and Warnings

When the aircraft detects any risk after powering on, there will be a warning prompt on the goggles screen. Pay attention to the prompt during flight and take necessary actions accordingly to avoid product damage or risk of injury.
If the Signal Lost Action of the aircraft is set to RTH, when the control signal or transmission is lost during flight, the aircraft will automatically initiate Failsafe RTH and fly back to the last recorded Home Point.
In emergency situations during flight, such as if a collision occurs, a motor stalls, the aircraft rolls in the air, or the aircraft is out of control and is ascending or descending quickly, the motors can be stopped by pressing the motion controller lock button four times.

• Stopping motors mid-flight will cause the aircraft to crash. Operate with caution.

If the goggles screen goes off unexpectedly during flight, press the motion controller lock button once to brake the aircraft first, and then initiate RTH manually. After the aircraft is back, check the goggles power level and try to restart the goggles. If the problem persists, contact DJI support.
