    Why won't my Freefly Quadcopters ALTA arm?

      If your Freefly Quadcopter ALTA won't arm, make sure the ALTA Home Switch is in the middle position and the ALTA Mode Switch is in Manual. Also, ensure the radio is properly bound by following the radio controller manufacturer’s binding procedure, and check the ALTA App radio mapping charts for correct behavior, adjusting the mapping if necessary. Power cycle the ALTA to address SYNAPSE boot issues, ensuring it remains still during boot, or use Motion Booting if movement is necessary.
