both up and down from set zero point. The angle value can be set between

BATTERY

When flying, one of the most important things is to know your battery

status. The goggles can show the battery charge level on-screen and notify

you when the battery voltage is low.

There are a couple of options to set up how the battery information is

displayed.

In the Battery >Display menu you can choose whether the battery charge

level is showed in “Volts” or in Percentage. In normal use, to display the

battery status simply press the “Battery check” button.

When battery voltage is below 6.1V, the goggles will safely shutdown.

Additionally, you can choose where on the screen the battery info will be

displayed. To adjust the position, enter the “OSD Position” menu and then

position the battery info on the screen by moving the left-hand joystick

up-down and left-right. Once you are satisfied with the position, confirm the

setting by depressing the left-hand joystick .

The goggles can alarm you when the battery is low. You can choose the

value between 6.45-7V for the alarm to start. The value can be changed at

intervals of 0.05 V in between 6.45 and 7V.

If the battery voltage drops to the chosen low battery alarm value, goggles

will notify you with three short beeps and the battery voltage (or

percentage) will be displayed in red color on the screen. The audible alarm

will be repeated every 60 seconds.

To turn the Low battery alarm on, change the setting to ON.

Integrated Digital Video Recorder (DVR) enables high definition recording of

the video and audio from any of the inputs.

To use the DVR, the micro SD

card must be inserted in the

dedicated slot in the faceplate.

Inserting the micro SD Card

incorrectly might result in

getting the card stuck in the

goggles.

To start recording, press the “DVR Quick Record” button on the top side

of the goggles. The button is marked with the red dot. DVR starts recording

instantly from the input that is shown on the screen. During the DVR

19

Orqa FPV.ONE User Manual, Rev.1.6

recording, the red symbol is blinking in the top right corner of the

screen.

Note that DVR will not record any of the goggle’s OSD features which might

be shown on screen during recording. OSD features generated by a receiver

(e.g. RapidFire RSS bars) will be recorded.When recording, the DVR saves

data onto the inserted micro SD card. Eventually, all the available memory

space will be used and there will be no free space for the DVR to store the

data. When there is no more available space on the micro SD card, the DVR

will stop recording.

In order to prevent the DVR from stopping the recording because of

unavailable storage space, the “Auto Delete” option can be used. This option

allows the DVR to delete the oldest recorded file on the inserted micro SD

Card in order to free some space for the current recording.

Please note that the “Auto Delete” function will delete only the files created

by the Orqa DVR system. All other files that might be present on the micro

SD card will not be deleted.

When the “Auto Delete” option is turned OFF, the DVR will record until all the

available space on the micro SD card is used.

When the available memory space on the micro SD card drops to 30 minutes,

the remaining time available will be displayed next to the REC symbol in the

top right corner of the screen .

If there is no available memory space on the micro SD card, and you press

the “DVR Quick Record” button , the “SD card full” message will appear

on-screen.

Please note that the DVR saves data in 5-minute-long video files. That means

that recording that is longer than 5 minutes will be saved in multiple files.

This is to make sure that not a complete recording is lost in case of any

problems with data storage or power loss during recording.

If during recording the battery level drops to 6.55V, the REC BAT! will blink in

the top right corner. If the battery level is below 6.55V, the DVR will not start

the new recording and the “Battery critical” message will appear on-screen.
