FLYSKY FS-Br01 Digital Proportional Radio Control System

Introduction

This system consists of the FS-ST8B transmitter and FS-Br01 receiver, and is specially designed for the bait boat model.

This system needs to be used with the boat control board. Through the transmitter, users can remotely control the boat’s driving, baiting, and light switch. Through the GPS satellite positioning system on the integrated control board, it can automatically navigate the model boat to multiple destinations and return back to the starting place, with the travel distance calculated. When the receiving signal is weak, the model boat will automatically turn back. In order to facilitate the operator to control the bait boat, this transmitter is equipped with a display screen, to allow users to control the status of the bait boat in real time, such as the remote signal strength, number of satellites, transmitter battery level and boat, etc. In addition, it is also equipped with the audible alarm system. There will be an audible alarm when the battery power of the transmitter or boat is too low.

Main Menu

Note:

There will be an audible alarm when the battery power of the transmitter, meanwhile, the battery icon will be slow flashing, and the buzzer will buzze to prompt.
When the system detectes the battery power of the boat is lower than 20%, a popo-up prompt for low voltage alarm will be sent, meanwhile, and the boat will automatically return back to the starting place.

This transmitter function menu includes the following functions, which can be set by users as required, including Boat Psn, Fish spot setting, Auto Home, Bind setting, Basic setting and System settings.

Boat Psn(Boat position)

Use to display the position of the bait boat in real time, including the bathymetric data of the current location, the temperature, and the distance between the current position and the starting point. Ensure the transmitter and the receiver are connected normally and the starting point is saved before enabling this function. This function is related to the specific protocol.

Fish Spot Setting

You can set [Start point] and [Fishing point] through this function. A total of 30 fishing points can be set. You can navigate from one fishing point to another. As a result, you can start from the starting point and navigate to the fishing point automatically.

You can select [Manual] or [Auto]. When you select [Manual], the manual interface appears, displaying the current boat direction and distance between the boat and fishing point. The bait boat will approach the target fishing point through manual operation. When you select [Auto], the bait boat automatically arrives at the fishing point saved according to the direction defined by the GPS. This function is related to the specific protocol.

Auto Home

When this function is enabled, the bait boat will automatically start to return to the starting point after the baiting is finished at the fishing point. Note that the starting point must be saved before enabling this function.

Note: The function is available only when the bait boat is enabled with the auto-cruise.

Binding Setting

It is used to complete the bind between the FS-ST8B transmitter and FS-Br01 receiver.

The transmitter supports two-way binding. The transmitter will display the information returned from the receiver after the two-way binding is completed. In addition, the bind settings (between the transmitter and receiver) has been completed before delivery from the factory

FCC SAR

The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should be minimized.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure. Guidelines when used with an accessory designated for this device or when used with an accessory that Contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 0mm from the body.
The maximum SAR value is 1.763W/kg when the device used 0mm close to user.
