Operational Guidance

The two 5.8GHz wireless receiver modules and the new DVR system are built in the SKY03O FPV goggles. The wireless receiver system can work in the diversity mode to improve the receiving effect. In this mode, the channel and band settings for wireless receiver can be compatible with most of the conventional ISM 5.8GHz transmitters, in order to support the 6 bands and the 48 channels (for detailed bands and channels, see the specification). DVR system use high- quality H.246 video compression technology to better restore the video screen, save the more storage space, support the 128GB high-capacity memory card(UHS-I U1), and support the automatic video recording function. For details, see the description of the “Video” section.

Quickstart

Preparation

Install the lenses, goggles, antennas, and memory cards for the FPV goggles.
Connect the camera to the transmitter, and turn on the power; set the working channel according to the transmitter instructions; switch on the power for the SKY03O FPV goggles; long-press the power button for 3 seconds to turn on the goggles (long-press the power button for 3 seconds to turn off the goggles).
Short press the buttons to adjust the channel and frequency of the receiver, to match the frequency of the VTX.
Slide the IPD adjuster to adjust the interpupillary distance.

Channel Search

Button Function
Long press the button to pop up the channel search menu.
Short press the button to start auto search (repeatedly). The auto search function is performed from low to high according to the frequency. After searching for 48 channels, the receiver will automatically work on one channel with the strongest signal. The signal strength of the channels is shown in the histogram. Please press the LEFT or RIGHT Button to manually select the channels. The band, the channel and the signal strength corresponding to the location of the triangle indicator will be updated in real-time.
When exiting the search menu, the receiver will work on the channel where the triangle indicator is located.

RF Racing

The mode is specially set for racing. In this mode, the goggels can work only on the eight channels of the Race band. The regulating channels of button will be increased, while the regulating channels of button will be decreased. The channel search function can be only used to scan the eight channels of the Race band.

Voltage Calibration

Add voltage calibration function in the system menu, voltage can be calibrated around ±0.9V.
During the calibration process, the voltage reading is changing in real time.
For more accurate calibration, multimeter is required.
The Voltage reading on OSD is the loaded voltage of the battery(the goggles is the load), by using the multimeter to reading the loaded voltage of the battery, you can calibrate the voltage reading on OSD, so the reading is equal to the real voltage of the battery.
