Special notes

Only use specially designed chargers/dischargers for charging and discharging rechargeable batteries.

Safety instructions for storing rechargeable batteries

Batteries should be stored in dry rooms at an ambient temperature of +5 °C to +25 °C.
If LiPo batteries are to be stored for a longer period of time, their cell voltage must be brought to approx. 3.8V. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, they must be recharged immediately. Deep discharging will render the battery unusable in the short term, and prolonged storage in a discharged or fully charged state will render it unusable in the long term.

Safety & Precautions
Many remote control models are equipped with powerful motors and sharp-edged propellers. Please be careful when working on your models. Ensure that the power supply to your models is disconnected and remove the propellers when carrying out maintenance work.
Do not operate the V 14 remote control under the following conditions.

In bad weather or strong winds such as rain, hail, snow, storms or electromagnetic events.

Remote control overview

Power Requirements and Charge

The V 14 has built in USB-C charging for 3.7v Lithium cells. The Charging circuit is designed for 2x 3.7v Li-ion 18650 unprotected cells or 2x 3.7v Li-poly cells (2s 7.4v LiPO pack) only with a nominal cell voltage of 3.7v and maximum charge capacity of 4.2v.
Please turn off the internal and external RF modules during charging, and it is suggested not operate the radio during charging.

Model and protocol selection

(multi-protocol module)

A wide variety of modules is available for V 14 units with the multi-protocol module. To find out whether a certain protocol would work with your radio, please visit: https://www.multi-module.org/
Please note that current protocols may be updated, and new protocols added, without prior notice.
Press and hold the MDL button and scroll to the MODEL SETUP page. Under internal RF, set the Mode to MULTI and select the RF Protocol/ sub protocol as desired. Once the protocol is selected, the corresponding RF chip will be activated.Note:
- The Bind button starts the bind process, if a compatible receiver is in bind mode within range, it will bind to your receiver.
- Range mode cuts the RF output by a factor of 30, allowing for easy range testing.

Radio Safeguard

The radio is equipped with three high-precision voltage and current sensor measurement units with a measurement accuracy of 0.2%, which solves the problem of using a multimeter to calibrate the battery voltage of the remote control. With the update of EdgeTX software, it can monitor the operating status of the system in real time, the working status of the battery, main control system, built-in high-frequency module, and external high-frequency module in real time. When the system detects abnormal current and voltage signals, it will automatically protect the system and high-frequency modules, and give warnings at the same time. It will prevent damage caused by moisture short circuits, overvoltage and overcurrent, and avoid flight accidents in advance.

Programmable Gimbal LED
Through a simple Lua program, the gimbal LED flashing mode can be customized, and you can use the flight switches to switch between different modes.

AI voice assistant
