My advice - if it's not really necessary, don't fly too far away. Aways orientate the RC antenna exactly perpendicular to the AC in the way as illustrated by DJI.
If you will ever need to go far away, just leave some spare radio transmission / reception capacities by slightly orientating the RC antenna a little bit off-perpendicular to the aircraft when pushing it really far away. In so doing, there will be a higher chance for recovering any apparent lost in RC control signal at the moment of RC signal lost by re-orientating the RC antenna precisely perpendicular to where the AC is. When green light in RC re-appears, you will probably notice the beeping sound from the RC telling you that it has already entered Failsafe RTH state, i.e. homing back. If green light in RC appears again but without beeping, try rotating the AC to re-establish the video downlink. In case you still cannot re-establish video downlink WITH solid green light in RC without beeping sound, the AC should be hovering in place waiting for your command. You can either initiate Smart RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button for 3 seconds, or as Ken suggested, fly back manually following the green line on the map. Make sure to check your AC's altitude in the GO App and ensure it can clear all obstacles in its way back.
These procedures saved my P3P several times when I flew it far away over the sea in checking out the landscape of some outlying islands here in HK.
Hope this help.
