Operational Advice
For best performance
, select a channel that has the least amount of
interference. While the transmitter is turned OFF, turn on the video
headset and look at the screen as you check each channel. Clear
channels will have a consistent static background. Channels with
interference will have horizontal static lines.
Always perform a range test before flying
. This includes AV and
RC controls. Some RC receivers can be affected by the proximity of
other electronic devices particularly the AV TX.
Try to space out your components as much as possible to avoid
interference to your RC control range (keep stuff away from RX)
Until experienced, practice flying in a familiar area to avoid becoming
disorientated.
Due to antenna characteristics, there is a “null” in line with antenna
direction. You may experience excessive video breakup when flying
overhead
5.8GHz signal strength drops off very fast stay safely within solid AV
range.
For maximum distance
it is very important that a clear line of sight
exists between the transmitter and the video headset. 2 of the worst
causes of interference are human bodies and reinforced concrete.
Place your TX antenna in open area in a vertical orientation
Multipathing
(reflections off buildings/ tall objects) causes signal
cancellation and result in broken video. Fly in open areas away from
buildings or other tall structures (i.e. barns, hills).
The headset may become warm to touch during use particularly in
the top center region. This is normal. If you are unsure, run the
headset for 30 minutes before flying to ensure normal operation.
Even if you don’t require any license to operate this device, you are
still legally responsible for operating in a responsible manner.
