Instructions for use
1, Please install ANT (must be DONE) before debugging or testing VTX（and OSD）, or lead to VTX not working properly.
2, please use proper tools to install FlyTower .It is easy to damage the PCB components by using sharp tools. (warning: Bear
in mind that screws do not install too tight between every layer, so as not to destroy the PCB and electronic components).
3, When you debug or test flight control Please remove all the propeller; Try not to test indoors, So as not to cause safety
accidents. Install the propeller before a test flight, please check again.
4, Please check and adjust ESC plate welding, thus brings all the losses and problems, or you should face the consequences.

NOTE:
When you need to update the OSD or set the OSD please plug in the OSD interface and also
the USB interface. So that the programs will make the inner analog switch break off the
connection, because OSD and USB use the same COM port .Only in this way can adjust your
OSD settings.

VTX use and settings
1, VTX key switch Instructions (print on VTX on FC and VTX board has a small error),just follow this picture:
2, Channel switch: short press SK, CH1-CH8 in there group, the current channel lights flash 1HZ ，and short
click to jump to the next CH. For example, the current state of CH1, short press SK, CH1 flash. And then press
SK, jump to CH2 flash, continue to press SK, CH3 flash. This process to do the cycle of CH1-CH8 (4 lights show
the 8 CH channels, detailed description of the following table). 5 seconds later the setting will exit without
touching SK.
3, Frequency group switch: long press 2 seconds SK, A-E where the band group slow flash 1HZ, and then click
on the SK for a long time, after the release will jump to the next group. For example, the current working state
is A group CH1 status. Long press SK two seconds and release the A slow flash 1HZ, and then long by two
seconds SK release, jump to B slow flash 1HZ. The second process is same as above. Do A-E polling, note here:
(A-B-C-D to indicate that the E band, A-B 2 lights all bright). Similarly, do not touch the SK, 5 seconds after the
automatic exit settings. Follow up will launch 60 channel BC, CD, AC, AD, BD channels, etc.
4, Power switch: fast short press SK two, then A-E frequency group under the condition of full bright light, quick
press at two under SK, then began to switch power, the corresponding power is 25mW 200mW 500mW
frequency light: bright 1 is the minimum power, bright 2 is a medium power, the 3 is bright the maximum
power.
