master & slave controlling mode, coach mode and student mode
Master & slave controlling mode: Connect PPM port of each H16 with Aux cable (3.5mm audio cable) can implement a single operating of master controlling mode, a single operating ofslave controlling mode and mixed controlling mode.
Detail steps
Connect the PPM interface of the two H16 with an AUX cable, and then select one of them to bind with the drone and set it as the master controller. Log into the APP named as“ H16 Assistant” and select the advanced parameters, enter the password“ 999”, click the coach mode, and choose the master controller mode. After selecting the channel of the coach switch, click Save (the coach switch only supports SW1-SW4).
Open another remote control to enter the“ H16 Assistant” to select advanced parameters, enter the password 999 Click the coach mode, and choose the slave mode. Click to save.
Switch three modes with the coach controller’s SW switch. ① The upper lever is the student mode, which means the student controls the drone completely, the coach does not participate. The coach can switch the mode to quickly take over when the students encounter a burst. ② The middle lever is the mixed controlling mode. At this time, both remote controls can operate, and the coach can correct the operation of the student. ③ The down lever is the coach mode, and the students cannot operate. Note: When using the coaching mode, the student’s side only has 4 channels of two joysticks that can be used, while other channels are invalid. The student’s controller also cannot use the video & picture transmission and ground station App.
Common problems and solutions

The permissions of the remote control are all open, and there is no special software or restricted software installation and uninstallation .
2. How does the remote control enter the fast charge mode?
You must use a dedicated charger to enter the fast charge mode, and there is a text prompt on the lock screen interface .
3. How to get the RTSP address when using MIPI or HDMI camera ?
Open the H16 assistant, open the video to view, click on the settings (virtual button), click on the video stream address, click on custom to copy the link below that starts with RTSP. Then paste it .
4. Data transmission cannot be connected ?
Check the surface station is added UDP port to connect to a remote controller, whether the listening port 14551 , check the baud rate is normal ,
Check if RX and TX are connected in reverse (correct connection method RX to TX , TX to RX) .
5. Cannot display videos after connecting to the webcam ?
The video transmitted through the network port has a dedicated RTSP address. Not compatible with MIPI/HDMI. This RTSP address should be consulted with the webcam manufacturer .
6. Can’t access the Internet after the remote control’s network port is connected ?
Turn off the WiFi before connecting the 4g network card and the network port .
