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 so 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. Two 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).
•
Even if you don’t require any license to operate this device, you are still legally responsible
for operating in a responsible manner.
