ANTENNA INSTALLATION

Carefully thread the included antenna onto the RP-SMA receptacle on the monitor. Do not cross-thread or overtighten! Mount the antenna before applying power to the monitor.

BATTERY CHARGING

This monitor has a micro USB charge port on the right side of the monitor to charge the internal battery. A micro-USB cable and an AC to USB adapter (not included) will be needed. Connecting the cable will start the charge process, as indicated by the glowing red LED which will turn off when charge is complete. For best results, use a 1 amp or larger adapter. The typical charge time will be around 3 hours.

WARNING! Charging lithium-polymer batteries poses a risk of FIRE! Follow all care and handling instructions in this manual to avoid severe and permanent damage to the batteries and all surroundings which could result quickly from improper use and function.

•

Do not leave the monitor unattended while being charged!

•

Immediately disconnect the USB charge cable if the monitor becomes hot (over 140°F, 60°C), begins to swell or emits smoke. Wear fi re protective materials on your hands to move the monitor to a fi reproof location as it may be hot! Leave the monitor until it cools.

•

Always provide adequate ventilation around the monitor during charge.

•

Always keep LiPo batteries away from children.

•

Do not place the monitor on fl ammable surfaces or near combustible materials (carpet, paper, wood, plastic, vinyl, foam, etc.) while charging.

DVR

The FPV-RM2 monitor has a DVR that will record and playback avi format video clips. A micro SD memory card (not included) must be installed in the monitor before the DVR will operate. The DVR will save the video to the memory card every 4 minutes. A timer in the lower left corner of the screen will indicate the length of the video fi le being recorded. To avoid losing any part of the video fi le, always stop the recording and wait at least 15 seconds before turning off the monitor. The quality of the fi le recorded by the DVR will not be as sharp as a fi le recorded by an on-board camera because the data is compressed when transmitted to the FPV receiver.

Holding the M button puts the DVR in playback mode. Press the or buttons to select the video fi le to be played. Press the V button to start and stop playback of the selected video clip. Hold the M button for

2 seconds to exit the playback mode. The DVR will only recognize AVI fi les in the “Video” folder that are named “RECxxxxx” where xxxxx is a 5 digit number.
