• The SAVS video system transmits video only.
• The SAVS video system has been preinstalled and test flown. However, unless you are an experienced helicop
ter pilot, you should first fly the helicopter without the camera until you are confident of your skill.
• Best video results are achieved when there is a clear “line of sight” between the SAVS video transmitter and the
receiver.
• Don’t fly close to obstacles such as trees, walls, cars, or buildings.
• Interference from certain electronic equipment and 2.4GHz devices can limit the range and quality of the video.
• For best reception, position the antennas of the receiver 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground, pointed in the direc
tion of the Draganflyer.
• Do not touch the antennas when in use as this will cause interference.
• The SAVS video system does not come with a viewing or recording device. A camcorder, digital video re
corder, or any device capable of accepting standard analog video is required in order to display or record video.
Precautions
• To avoid the risk of damage to the SAVS video system, use only the supplied power connectors.
• Do not place any components near a source of heat as this may cause the equipment to overheat.
• Avoid humid conditions as condensation may form inside the camera and cause damage. If the camera system
appears to be wet or condensation occurs, discontinue use until the camera system has completely dried.
• Never paint or attach metallic stickers of any kind to any of the components in the camera system.
• Do not operate the SAVS video system in temperatures exceeding 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) or below 14
degrees F (10 degrees C)
