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 (2.4 GHz is more gradual). If using
5.8GHz, 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 fully
powered 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.
