Can someone refresh my memory as to how to "manually" set a new home point when the Phantom is airborne?

Sometimes I can wait for ages for the minimum of 7 satellites before take off only to find that as soon as it gets in the air the number of satellites increase quite a lot sometimes.

My plan is that if it's taking too long to get 7 then I could take off and get 20-30ft in the air and then when it locks onto more satellites I can set a home point then. I know it's an "in the air" homepoint but if I need to use it by that time I'll have resumed control well before it gets there.

TIA Steve
 
The Phantom manual is a good source of information too.

S2 is used to record a Home point manually. After a Home point has been recorded automatically, flipping the S2 from position 1 (top) to position 3 (bottom) and back 5 times (or more) rapidly will move the Home point to the Phantom's current location.

On the older firmwares (2.0 and less), resetting was a lot easier.
I have troubles with the new (3.0 and greater) as it takes me about half a dozen attempts.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

I know that NAZA with IOC enabled, on S2:
position from top to mid x 5 and rapid greens = new course direction (the nose is the new fwd for IOC course lock)..
position from mid to bottom x 5 and rapid greens = new home position.

I don't do it that often since it waste my flight time. I usually enable the GPS on my phone and then enable dynamic home point and wait for the green ring around my radar.
