These options are also available  in the software) 

 
NOTE: See the “How to Configure the Diversity Function” section for details on the diversity menu items. 
 

 

Enable Volt Alarm? 

-  this menu item enables or disables the low voltage alarm (series of two beeps, repeating)

 

 

Set Alarm Voltage – 

this menu item lets you set the low voltage alarm.  Valid range is between 5.0V and 13.9V. 

 

Enable No Telemetry Alarm? – 

this menu item turns on the “no telemetry alarm” which periodically beeps (four beeps)  if no telemetry has been

Figure 6:  EagleEyes Diversity and Alarms On-screen Menu, when using the Vector or OSD Pro 

 
If you are using our Vector or OSD Pro airborne system, both of these parameters are configured onscreen, with the menu described in Figure 6.  If 
you are not using the Vector or OSD Pro, the diversity parameters are configured via the pushbuttons, as described in the “Configuring the 
EagleEyes with the Built-in Menus.
