During RTH, the EVO Lite Enterprise can brake and hover when it detects an obstacle in front, but only when obstacle avoidance is enabled and lighting lets the visual-perception system work. The operator must then take over manually.[1]
Before you begin

The aircraft can remain hovering until critically low-battery landing is triggered, so take control before that point. The manual says visual obstacle sensing is not supported to the left, right or above; if obstacle avoidance is off during a mission, it will not provide obstacle avoidance. Do not rely on the system where visual perception is impaired.[2]

For manual flight, obstacle avoidance must be enabled in OA Settings. During a flight mission, the manual specifies the “Hovering” obstacle-avoidance mode. The described response applies to manual, low-battery and lost-action RTH, and mission-completion RTH.[1]
