When the remote control is not successfully connected with the receiver, the remote control will always send out a prompt alarm.
4.The QGC sound is too low to hear?
Please set it in Vol+/Vol-section.
5.What else can the TYPE-C port do besides charging?
In addition to charging, the TYPE-C port can also be connected to a computer for file viewing.
