5. Setup
5.1. Attaching Antennas
Carefully screw the two provided antennas onto Antenna Port A and Antenna Port B on the top of the goggles. Ensure they are finger-tight but do not overtighten.
5.2. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge the internal 3.7V/1200mAh Li-ion polymer battery. Connect the USB Charging Cable to the USB Charge Port on the goggles and plug the other end into a DC5V/1A USB power adapter (not included). The Charging Indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes around 2.5 hours and provides approximately 2.5 hours of working time.
5.3. Powering On/Off
Press and hold the Power On/Off Button to turn the goggles on or off.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Auto-Searching Channels
With the goggles powered on, press the 'Search' button. The goggles will automatically scan through all 40 channels to find the strongest 5.8GHz video signal. This is the quickest way to establish a connection with your FPV transmitter.
6.2. Manual Channel and Band Selection
If auto-searching does not yield the desired result or if you know the exact frequency of your FPV transmitter, you can manually select the channel and band:
- Change Band: Short press the 'Band+' button to cycle through the available frequency bands (A, B, E, F, R).
- Change Channel: Short press the 'CH+' button to cycle through channels 1-8 within the selected band.
Refer to the frequency table below to match your FPV transmitter's frequency:
| GROUP | CH 1 | CH 2 | CH 3 | CH 4 | CH 5 | CH 6 | CH 7 | CH 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 5865 MHz | 5845 MHz | 5825 MHz | 5805 MHz | 5785 MHz | 5765 MHz | 5745 MHz | 5725 MHz |
| B | 5733 MHz | 5752 MHz | 5771 MHz | 5790 MHz | 5809 MHz | 5828 MHz | 5847 MHz | 5866 MHz |
| E | 5705 MHz | 5685 MHz | 5665 MHz | 5645 MHz | 5885 MHz | 5905 MHz | 5925 MHz | 5945 MHz |
| F | 5740 MHz | 5760 MHz | 5780 MHz | 5800 MHz | 5820 MHz | 5840 MHz | 5860 MHz | 5880 MHz |
| R | 5658 MHz | 5695 MHz | 5732 MHz | 5769 MHz | 5806 MHz | 5843 MHz | 5880 MHz | 5917 MHz |
6.3. AV Input/Output
The AV Jack allows for both external video input and internal AV signal output:
- AV Input: Connect an external video source (e.g., another FPV receiver or camera) to the AV Jack using the provided AV cable to display its signal on the goggles.
- AV Output: Connect the AV Jack to an external DVR or display device to record or view the goggles' current video feed.

8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the goggles. For the screen, use a microfiber cloth specifically designed for optics. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the goggles with the battery partially charged (around 50%) if not used for extended periods.
- Antennas: Ensure antennas are securely attached before use. Remove them for storage or transport to prevent damage.
- Storage: Store the goggles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
9. Troubleshooting
- No Image/Black Screen:
- Ensure the goggles are powered on and fully charged.
- Verify your FPV transmitter is powered on and transmitting.
- Check that the antennas are securely connected to the goggles.
- Use the 'Search' function or manually cycle through bands and channels to find the correct frequency.
- If using AV input, ensure the external video source is active and correctly connected.
- Fuzzy/Intermittent Image:
- Check antenna connections on both the goggles and your FPV transmitter.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between your drone and the goggles.
- Try changing channels or bands, as interference from other 5.8GHz devices can occur.
- Ensure the goggles' battery is not critically low.
- Goggles Not Charging:
- Verify the USB cable is properly connected to both the goggles and the power source.
- Ensure the power adapter is providing DC5V/1A output.
- Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
- Buttons Unresponsive:
- Try restarting the goggles by powering them off and on again.
- Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
10. User Tips
- Compatibility Check: Always verify that your FPV drone's video transmitter operates on the 5.8GHz frequency band and is compatible with the 40 channels supported by these goggles. For example, if you are using a drone like the Air2S, confirm its video transmission specifications.
- Optimal Antenna Placement: For the best signal reception, try to keep your antennas oriented vertically and avoid placing them directly behind large obstacles.
- Battery Management: While the goggles have a built-in battery, carrying a portable USB power bank can extend your flight sessions, allowing you to recharge on the go.
- Comfort Adjustment: Take time to adjust the headband for a snug but comfortable fit to minimize light leakage and maximize viewing comfort.
