Signal Strength:
If you are getting RF interference or getting out of range the tab bar at the bottom of iPhantom may flash yellow or red. Or go solid red. Solid red means you have lost connection. Flashes of yellow indicate of some interference. Flashes Red is an indicator of significant interference. Keep this in mind, and ideally get closer to the camera or find a way to get better line of sight between the iOS device, and camera based router.
