One flight, four warnings

I flew this morning near the local ski resort. In the course of a 7 minute flights, I got a RTH high wind warning, another, different wind warning I hadn't seen before, a battery low voltage warning, and a "Maximum RPM" warning.

So, why does one of the wind warnings start with "RTH"?

The low voltage warning was in red, and it happened at the beginning of the flight with 95% battery remaining. What does it mean, and what do I do when I see it? It was only on for a few seconds, it went away, and it didn't happen again.

Why do I need to know that I've reached maximum RPM? What do I do with that warning?

Is there a comprehensive list of all Mavic warnings, what they mean, and what the pilot is supposed to do when seeing them?

Thanks!
 
I'm going to speculate some here since you didn't provide a lot of condition details.

RPM and low voltage and high wind, could be the result of over agressive stick inputs, if you flying agressively and in high winds. If you're maxing out your motors, the power demands can potentially cause a temporary system voltage drop. The RTH could have been triggered by the low voltage, and not the high wind.

I'm not being judgemental here but the Mavic does seem to have extra sensitivity to the demands being put on it.

On the other hand, if you are flying gently, and still get these warnings I would be concerned with sensor or system malfunctions. Pay special attention to the battery you were using during that flight.

I don't know of any comprehensive list of Mavic warnings or the proper response, other than back off, land, and investigate, before continuing.
