Key function and Calibration (
important!
)
Press "HOME Button 1" for five seconds
to save airborne module coordinates as take-off point
Press "Cal. Button 2" for five seconds
for automatic calibration mode
Press "OFFLINE Button 3"
to switch between "off-line mode" and "tracking mode". In "off-line" mode
you can switch the antenna to any position manually.
Calibration at the take-off point is a must for the first installation.
Hold "Cal. Button 2" for five seconds
and PTZ will tilt 45 degrees. It moves slowly for 3 seconds and a clockwise six-round rotation ensues. All the data
will be collected automatically in this process in order to achieve hard magnetic calibration, gyroscope and
magnetic compass coupling calibration, servo's calibration and etc.;
A four-point direction mode follows the completion of calibration. The device automatically lifts 0 degree
and points to due north. Press "Cal. button 2" and the PTZ automatically lifts 30 degrees and points to due east;
press "Cal. button 2" to point to due south with a 60-degree lift; press "Cal. button 2" for a 90-degree lift and a due
west direction. Press "Cal. button 2"again to exit pointing mode. After the calibration, it will automatically turn
into offline mode. Please press "OFFLINE button 3" if you need to use the tracking mode.
You can tell the accuracy of direction with the use of Four-point directing.
Press "HOME button 1" and
"OFFLINE button 3" to trim (once for 0.5 degree)
to ensure that the four positions are pointing to the right
direction. Notice that the four-point direction calibration must be corrected before taking off!

FAQ
Q: Video communication is abnormal and the yellow LED2 on the ground doesn’t flash
A: Check the wiring and see if the airborne module lights are flashing fast. Connect the display directly to the
video receivers to check if you can see images on the display.
Some video receivers with DVR will suppress the data superimposed on the video! Please contact video
transmitter merchants for data transmission in video field blanking (some video receivers cannot be used when
connected to AVout1 interface. It must be connected to AVout2).
Q: Audio communication is abnormal and the green LED3 on the ground doesn’t flash
A: Check the wiring to see if the airborne module lights are flashing fast. Make sure the video channel is on
regular operation. It is all right to keep the audio channel unconnected since the audio channel signal of some
video device is poor.
Q: Communication is normal but it doesn’t shift into tracking mode automatically, and the red LED1 on the
ground doesn’t flash fast
A: Check the GPS wiring of airborne module and see if the airborne module LED lights are flashing fast. Press
KEY3 to "tracking mode" or try to re-power;
