VTX IRC Setting

Configuration is done via Betaflight or similar flight controller software.

Connection Examples:

Example 1: VTX connected to the Flight Controller (FC)

Diagram shows the VTX connected to an FC. The VTX pins (GND, 5VOUT, IRC, VTX, GND, 7-36V) are connected to the FC's corresponding pins (GND, VBAT, TX, VOUT, GND, VBAT).

Example 2: VTX connected to the Camera (no OSD)

Diagram shows the VTX connected to a camera. The VTX pins (GND, 5VOUT, IRC, VTX, GND, 7-36V) are connected to the Camera's pins (GND, 5V, GND, VIDEO).

Frequency Table

Note: The VTX table can only set 8 channels.

Setting VTX via CLI

To configure the VTX table:

1. Scan the QR code or visit geprc.com/maten-1-2g-2w-vtx-irc-tramp/ to copy the CLI dump code.
2. Open Betaflight, navigate to the CLI (Command Line) section.
3. Paste the copied code into the input field and press Enter on the keyboard.

Tune the VTX using IRC

Use your remote control's sticks to navigate the OSD menu:

1. Turn on the remote control. Set THR to middle, YAW to left, and PITCH to up to enter the OSD menu.
2. Use the PITCH stick to move the cursor up and down. Use the ELE (right) stick to select an item. Save and exit the menu when done.

Diagrams illustrate stick movements for OSD navigation (Model 1, Model 2) and OSD menu screens showing options like MAIN, PROFILE, FEATURES, OSD, FC&FIRMWARE, MISC, SAVE/EXIT, and specific settings like PIT, BAND, CHAN, POWER.

Use Buttons to Adjust VTX

The VTX can be adjusted using the side button:

1. Switch Frequency: Short press the side button for 1 second. The blue indicator light ? will flash corresponding to the channel number (1-9 flashes for CH1-CH9).
2. Switch Power: Long press the side button for 4 seconds. The red indicator light ? will flash corresponding to the power level (1-4 flashes for 25mW, 400mW, 800mW, 2000mW).
3. Open/Exit PIT Mode: Long press the side button for 8 seconds. PIT mode is indicated by the red light being extinguished.

Important Notes

• Please comply with local radio laws and regulations when using this product, and use the locally permitted frequency band and frequency.
• Install the antenna before powering on to prolong the service life of the VTX module.
• Ensure good ventilation for high-power operation.
• The VTX generates high temperatures during operation; avoid direct contact with hands to prevent burns.
• Using a high-quality antenna can extend the transmission distance.
