When I get the message saying "Phantom connection broken" I just want to make sure that doesn't mean I actaully lost control of the Phantom but only that the camera (WiFi) connection is lost, is that correct?
I encountered this a couple of times and until now I've only seen this message for a second or two but today I got this message and it stayed on the screen and the Phantom was too far away for me to spot in with my eyes and I was a bit scared because I had some water between myself and the Phantom.
I waited for maybe 10-15 seconds to see if the message would go away but when it didn't I decided to play it safe so I initiated the fail safe mode by flipping S1 to the bottom position (I'm in Naza mode) and after a couple of seconds I got the 'Coming home' message on the screen and sure enough and to my big joy I soon heard the well-known buzzing sound and seconds after I spotted her and took manual control and landed without any issues.
I searched in the manual and as far as I could tell getting this message 'Phantom connection broken' indicates the WiFi connection is broken and not the actual connection between the remote control and the Phantom but again would be nice to have this confirmed. Also, what kind of message will I get in the event the connection between the remote control and the Phantom is broken?
