(available separately) that is mounted
inside an R/C hobby model. Five
bands with a total of 40 frequencies in
the 5.8GHz spectrum are available. For optimum
results operate the system away from other 5.8GHz transmitters
and in areas having as few obstructions possible to the Tx.

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 le being recorded. To avoid losing any part of the video le, always stop the recording and
wait at least 15 seconds before turning off the monitor. The quality of the le recorded by the DVR will not
be as sharp as a le recorded by an on-board camera because the data is compressed when transmitted
to the FPV receiver.

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 les in the “Video” folder that are
