Quick Setup & Use
- Charge the remote controller: Fully charge using the original charger (about 3 hours). For battery health, fully charge once every month.
- Open the antenna correctly: Ensure the antenna is opened properly before testing/operation.
- Perform an indoor range test (optional): Separate transmitter and receiver by 3 to 4 walls, then compare signal strength while gripping the left/right transmitter antennas and left/right receiver antennas.
- Power on/off the remote controller: Short press and long hold the power button to turn on; repeat short press and long hold to turn off.
- Power & bind the receiver: Follow the receiver-specific binding method (GR01 or G12 RX) and start frequency binding in the remote controller: Settings → Wireless Settings → Frequency Binding → Start Frequency Binding.
- Connect video/data transmission: Connect the receiver’s SBUS & data transmission port to the S3 flight controller’s corresponding SBUS & data transmission port, and connect the receiver LAN port to the gimbal camera LAN port.
- Set video stream (RTSP): On the remote controller: Settings → (Video Settings) → RTSP, then read/enter the camera RTSP pull stream address and save.
- Optionally share data/video via QGC on Windows: Connect G11 LAN to the PC Ethernet adapter (configure PC Ethernet to the 192.168.144.x network segment), then in QGC add a UDP Comm Link and enter the specified server settings; for video, open the camera RTSP stream address as provided.
Troubleshooting
- Binding does not complete: During frequency binding, maintain less than 50 cm distance between the transmitter and receiver. For GR01, confirm the receiver indicator behavior (green solid / blue blinking during setup; blue rapid flash during binding; blue solid on success). For G12 RX, confirm the indicator behavior and follow the short-circuit/power-cycle method described.
- Video/data connection fails after setup: Check that the receiver serial port baud rate matches the flight controller data transmission port baud rate. The S3 flight controller baud rate is stated as 921600. Also verify wiring definition: RX must connect to TX.
- Charging issues: If smoke, abnormal odors, or liquid leakage occur while charging the ground station, stop charging immediately and send the unit back for maintenance. Do not charge in temperatures above the stated limit in the manual section.
