7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No signal/Lost connection	Out of range, interference, un-paired devices, antenna issues.	Ensure line of sight and stay within the 30KM range. Check for local interference (e.g., Wi-Fi, other RC systems). Re-pair the G30 and GR03 (refer to Section 4.3). Verify antennas are securely attached and undamaged. Switch frequency bands if experiencing interference.
Poor video quality/lag	Weak signal, interference, high data rate settings.	Move closer to the vehicle or adjust antenna orientation. Ensure dual-band auto-switching is active. If using high transmission rate modes (e.g., customized 20 Mbps download), note that this may affect communication distance. Consider reducing the data rate for longer range. Check fiber optic connection if applicable.
G30 not powering on	Low battery, faulty charger/cable.	Charge the G30 using the original Type-C charger. Verify the charger and cable are working correctly.
GR03 not responding	No power, incorrect wiring, firmware issue.	Check power input to the GR03 (7.2V~72V, XT30). Verify all wiring connections to the flight controller are correct. Attempt a firmware re-flash if possible.

8. User Tips
