There is no such NFZ feature in the U.S. GUI software for the H-480. There are two lines where you can alter geo fence limits to suit your needs, one of them being the altitude limitation.
Removal of NFZ limitations had until recently required owners to contact Yuneec customer service by phone to request a waiver request form. That form is e-mailed as a PDF to those requesting it, and requires filling it out accurately, declaring your personal responsibility, and returning it to Yuneec using the reply function associated with the original e-mail containing the form. Once approved the waiver software was sent to the applicant via e-mail attachment and installed via the GUI. It has come to my attention they may now be sending waiver software via the OTA method. I do not know if that is true. He waivered software is keyed to the autopilot serial number. It cannot be used to unlock any aircraft other than the one associated with the particular serial number. If you have more than one H and desire to unlock all of them you will need to submit a waiver request for each one.
Note there are two types of waiver firmware. One for recreational flyers and one for commercial operators. The recreational software removes most, but not all, restrictions. When close to a restricted location there will still be an altitude restriction. The commercial waiver removes all restrictions but to qualify for it you must provide a copy of your Part 107 certificate. No 107 copy and you will receive recreational waiver software.
