Important Saftey Precautions
When using your VTI 360 SKYVIEW 2 GPS VIDEO DRONE, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Do not allow children or the infirm to operate your drone without adult supervision.
For safety purposes, only allow experienced pilots aged 14 and up fly your drone.
2. To avoid choking hazards, keep all small parts and pieces away from children.
3. Your drone is not a toy. Makes sure that it is properly assembled before use, and
operated safely.
4. Keep your drone away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, and bodies of
water while it is in flight. Always fly your drone in a wide open spacious environment.
Avoid flying your drone directly above people or animals. Maintain a 7ft (2m) distance
from the aircraft when taking off and landing.
5. Only use your drone in a dry environment. Your drone is composed of sophisticated
electronic components and parts. To avoid damage to your drone, please keep your
drone away from water and moisture. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface of your
drone and keep it clean.
6. Beginner and novice level pilots should practice flying with experienced pilots until
suitably experienced in flight.
7. To ensure safety, only use the included parts when using your drones.
8. Make sure to keep your ears and eyes protected when using your drone. When your
drone’s blades are spinning, make sure to keep people and objects at a distance from
rotating parts.
9. Keep your drone away from excessive heat or flames, especially while charging the
battery.
10. Please recycle or dispose of your drone properly based on the laws and rules of

This section introduces functions and features of the VTI 360
SKYVIEW 2 GPS VIDEO DRONE.
Your VTI 360 SKYVIEW 2 GPS VIDEO DRONE has 2 flight modes.
GPS Mode: When the aircraft is turned on, it automatically goes into
GPS mode.
Normal Flying Mode: Press and hold the GPS/Normal Flying Mode
button to switch to Normal Flying Mode.

9 Lose Control > What is the light status?
Return to Home (RTH)
The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last
recorded Home Point.
There are 3 types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe
RTH. This section describes these 3 scenarios in detail.
Smart RTH
When the GPS signal is available (more than 7 satellites is presented),
use the RTH button on the Remote Controller and then follow the on-
screen instructions to initiate Smart RTH.
8
Low Battery RTH
Failsafe RTH
When the battery level of your aircraft is low, it automatically returns
directly to the take-off point. During the state of low battery, the aircraft
cannot be controlled beyond 20 meters. If the aircraft is returned to
within 20 meters from the take-off point, it can be controlled. If it is
beyond 20 meters, the aircraft then enters into the landing protection
mode in which it performs as follows – because it will not be able to
fly more than 20 meters and will not be able to automatically return,
it will safely land immediately when the battery is totally depleted.
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is
functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated
if the Remote Controller signal is lost for over 6 seconds. Return-
to-Home can be cancelled by the pilot, allowing you to regain
control when the Remote Controller signal connection is re-
established.
Smart Return Function
The Smart Return Function returns your drone to the location
of your remote control or phone. Push the one key return
button on your remote control, or the corresponding button
in the VTI 360 SKYVIEW 2 to enter Smart Return mode.
When in Smart Return mode, you can use the directional control
stick to control the drone’s landing point. Push the throttle stick
to exit Smart Return mode.
