| - | 34 | Without a succesfull position fix at calibration the GPS functionality ist completely disabled. |
|
| - | 35 | The red led on the FlightCrtl flashes with a 4 Hz rate if the gps module delivers a position fix. |
|
| - | 36 | There are two ways to enable the GPS Hold functionality: |

| - | 41 | GPS Hold is automatically activated if the sticks for roll and nick are in neutral position for about 400ms. |
|
| 39 | Moving the stick immediately disables the Hold mode. The GPS Hold function doesn not change height, pitch or yaw. |

46 | Either enable the GPS flag in the setting AND set the Height Switch ("ParameterMAxhoehe) to a value > 170 OR |
| 43 | The coming-home function is activated by the same switch as for the height regulator, if the switch is set to maximum. |
47 | disable the GPS flag in the setting AND set UserParameter5 to a value > 170. |
