Observe the LED display to confirm your selected channel and frequency band. Ensure your FPV receiver is set to the same channel and frequency band for proper video reception.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and transmitter housing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the FPV system in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Heat Management: The transmitter can generate heat during operation. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit, especially when enclosed within a quadcopter frame. Consider adding a heatsink or small fan if operating in confined spaces or high temperatures.
