Loss of Signal (LOS) can occur if the radio controller stops transmitting a signal,
or if ALTA 8 is too far away to receive it. In the event ALTA 8 detects a LOS, it will
automatically execute a Return-to-Home or Autoland as configured in the App.
However, it is always recommended to attempt to regain signal link with ALTA 8 to
keep the pilot in control of the aircraft.
Move the antenna orientation for best signal strength. Ensure the transmitter
antenna matches the direction of the receiver antennae. Move the transmitter away
from objects to get a clear line-of-sight to ALTA 8.
Setup the Mode and Home switches to enable Return-To-Home so ALTA 8 will
continue to approach the starting point and have a higher likelihood of regaining
signal reception.
NOTE
If efforts to regain control signal are unsuccessful, ALTA 8
will begin the Return-To-Home and Autoland sequence.
