See the frequency table below to fi nd the desired video channel and band. The
video transmitter band and power level are changed using the button on the
transmitter or the Spektrum™ VTX control system.
NOTICE:
Never power on the video transmitter without the antenna installed.
Powering on without the antenna will damage the video transmitter. This damage is
not covered under warranty.
Channel and Band Selection:
The LEDs illluminate as indicated on the diagram to show Channel and Band.
The buttons will not function when the video transmitter is plugged into
the fl ight controller. Access the frequency and power level options from the
Spektrum transmitter control menu, or from the On Screen Display
Power Level Selection:
All green LEDs off means RF is off, one fl ashing green LED is Pit mode, one
solid green LED is 25mW, two solid green LEDs is 200mW, three solid green
LEDs is 600mW.
IMPORTANT:
Do not kink or cut the antenna adaptor or antenna wires. Antenna
wires are coaxial wires, kinks or cuts will degrade performance.
Spektrum VTX Control:
Spektrum control signals include a special command system to manage
frequencies and power output on video transmitters. Compatible video
transmitters can be managed from this menu by connecting a signal wire from
the aircraft receiver to the video transmitter. See the video transmitter manual
for more information.
To apply changes to the video transmitter from the VTX menu of a compatible
Spektrum Transmitter with Spektrum AirWare™ fi rmware:
1. Power on the video transmitter and ensure it is properly connect to the
aircraft receiver.
2. From the Model Adjust menu, select Video Tx.
3. Adjust the Band, Channel frequency, Power level and Mode to the desired
values.Pit mode sets the video transmitter output to very low power for
testing in the pits. Do not attempt to fl y using pit mode. Race mode sets the
video transmitter output to normal power.
4. Select SEND to apply the changes. The video transmitter must be properly
connected and powered on to apply changes.
