Skydio X2D Connection Status
When flying at max range, point the controller cover toward X2D and hold the controller as far away from your body as possible. Bringing the
controller too close to your body will impact wireless performance. Signal strength and maximum control range may be aected when flying in
areas with electromagnetic interference.
The connection status indicator displays the current strength
of the signal connection between your controlling device and
your X2D and the number of satellites you are connected to.
Select the connection status icon to view.
• the more bars in the Connection Status indicator the stronger the
