   • Installation Method 1 Direct Stacking

   • Installation Method 2 O昀昀set Stacking

3. Other Precautions

   • Antenna Layout

   • Antenna Installation：
     Ensure the two tail antennas are sufficiently spread apart to avoid entanglement, which could reduce signal interference.

   • Antenna Direction：
     Adjust the antennas to point upwards whenever possible to avoid obstruction by the drone or battery, ensuring the best signal transmission.

Refer to the illustration for installation

  *  **4PIN Power Cable Connection**  

The wiring sequence of the two ends of the 4PIN power cable is opposite. Confirm the direction before connecting to ensure correct insertion and avoid damaging the device.
