Status indication

Operating channel

Make sure you fully understand and abide by local laws and regulations before using this product. An amateur radio license may be needed in FCC regions when using channels 1,2,6or 7, as they are amateur frequency bands. Users who use the amateur frequency bands with a modified or cracked version or without a license may be punished for breaking local laws or regulations.

Installation of third-party antennas

1. Turn counterclockwise to remove the antenna.
2. Turn counterclockwise to remove the nut and remove the circular washer.
3. Turn mounting nut clockwise. Install a third-party antenna.

Precautions

1. This is a sophisticated product. Failure to operate this product safely and responsibly could result in injury or damage to the product or other property. It must be operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic mechanical knowledge.
2. Before powering on, please install all antennas to avoid damage to components.
3. When using HDMI output, Please make sure the monitor supports the set resolution and frame rate, otherwise, it will cause an abnormal display.
4. HDMI output is not supported when goggles are set to 1080p high frame rate
5. The transmit power of VTX and Goggles is only 10mW when the standby mode is on.
6. There are up to eight channels for the goggles depending on the region (FCC: eight, CE/SRRC: four, MIC: three). Each channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz. The public channel is 8, which is the default channel when the equipment is powered on. The channel can be changed manually to avoid interterence from other devices.
7. It is recommended to upgrade VTX and Goggles to the latest firmware before first use.

Software interface

Main interface-1

1. VTX input voltage:
   Detect VTX voltage, intelligently identify the voltage of 2, 3, 4, 6 string LiPo batteries, alarm when a single battery is lower than 3.5V, and alarm in red font when the voltage is too low.

2. Goggles input voltage:
   Detect Goggles low battery alarm, intelligently identify the voltage of 2, 3, 4, 6 string LiPo batteries, alarm when a single battery is lower than 3.5V, red font and buzzer alarm when the voltage is too low.

3. Real-time bit rate
   Display real-time transmission code rate, two display modes of 25.0Mbps and 50.0Mbps.

4. Time delay:
   Displays the total delay from the transmission of images captured by the VTX camera to the ground end.

5. Ranging mode:
   The function of calculating the transmission distance from Goggles to VTX according to the wireless transmission delay, the signal is interfered will lead to error amplification.

6. Status prompt:
   The text prompts information that needs attention in the current state.

7. Current channel:
   Display the current setting channel, the signal grid has 5 states, 4 grids, 3 grids, 2 grids, 1 grid, and blank.

Menu Channel-2

1. Display the interference situation of each channel. The signal strength is divided into 4 grids, 3 grids, 2 grids, 1 grid, and a space. The signal display space is occupied and cannot be selected. The white stroke is the selection box. Press the middle button to confirm the current channel and highlight it.
2. Channel working logic: When switching between standard bit rate and high bit rate, the current channel will be set to CHP, and the channel needs to be reselected. CHP is a public channel, which is easy to be interfered and is not recommended for flight work; Auto is a channel that automatically refreshes the signal interference situation of all channels; Refresh is the channel of manual refresh.
3. Channel display of each country: FCC standard displays 8 channels (CH1/2/3/4/5/6/7/P), CE/SRRC standard displays 4 channels (CH1/2/3/P), MIC standard displays 3 channels (CH1/2/P). Only in FCC mode, the high bit rate mode can be turned on, and the 8 channels become 4 channels CH1, CH2, CH3, CHP.
