Issue: I am using the eLogger V3, and the Video and OSD Pro Text is visible for a while, but then the Video goes blank.   If I disconnect the eLogger V3 for 
a few minutes and reconnect it, the Video re-appears.   I do not have any outputs from my receiver connected to the OSD Pro. 

 

Solution:  If you are using the eLogger V3 with the OSD Pro, make sure you are using the Battery Backup Cable as described in the “Connecting the 
OSD Pro to your eLogger V3” section above. 

 
Issue
:  The OSD Pro displays information on the video screen, but I cannot get the menus to appear. 
Solution: 

 

Ensure that you have correctly set up radio stick inputs as described in “Choosing the Radio Stick Input Method You Prefer” section of the manual

 

 

If you are using a switch on your radio that has a “center” position as well as “off” and “on”, make sure you are switching from “off” to “on” (or vice 
versa) and are not using one of the 3 position switch radio stick input options, make sure you are not stopping at the center position of the switch. 

 

Consider testing the receiver outputs that are connected to Aux1 and Aux2 with a servo, to ensure the servo moves between its extents when switching. 

 
Issue:  The OSD Pro’s GPS altitude does not zero correctly, and/or the home position does not seem correct. 
Solution: 

 

Adjust the “required fix quality” parameters under the GPS and Waypoints menu, to ensure that the GPS fix quality is good before the home 
position is finalized. 

 
Issue
:  I am seeing video “smearing” or lines on the video screen, that corresponds with the location of OSD Pro text on the screen. 
Solution: 

 

Adjust the OSD Pro’s “Black Level” setting, as described in the “Configure OSD Display Menu” section above. 

 
Issue: I am having trouble adjusting the Return to Home feature. 
Solution:  

 

Visit our online support forum at 

http://www.rcgroups.com/eagle-tree-systems-443/

 .   There is a “sticky” post on that forum, describing how to 

get help with RTH and other OSD-PRO issues.    

 

If you can’t find what you need on our support forum, consider posting on our OSD Pro thread on RCGroups “First Person View” forum, at  

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10547604

 explaining the problem you are having.  There are many FPV pilots there who use 

the OSD Pro, and most likely some of them will have a similar setup to yours, and will be able to help you. 

 

Note that Eagle Tree cannot offer email or telephone support for adjusting the Return to Home feature, due to the many variables involved.
