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 back-
ground. 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 proxim-
ity 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 rein-
forced concrete.
• Place your TX antenna in open area in a vertical orientation.
• Multipathing (reflections off buildings/ tall objects) causes sig-
nal cancellation and result in broken video. Fly in open areas
away from buildings or other tall structures (i.e. barns, hills).
• 5.8Ghz AV with 2.4Ghz RC controllers: 2.4Ghz may cause
harmonic interference on Ch2 – Ch7 of the 5.8Ghz AV (Ch1 not
affected). The headset has been equipped with a high pass filter
that will allow the system to work with CE certified 2.4Ghz RC
controllers. However, the filtering may be insufficient to remove
noise from overpowered non CE certified controllers.
If you experience interference from your RC radio, change the
AV channel to channel 1.
• Although you don’t require any license to operate this device,
you are still legally responsible for operating in a responsible
manner.
