Operating Instructions
FPV goggles set
Item no. 1784872
Intended Use
The product is intended for transmitting video signals wirelessly. For this, a camera with video transmitter is
mounted on a model vehicle/plane. The video signals are transmitted by radio to the supplied FPV goggles
on which it is then displayed.
For safety and compliance reasons, the product must not be converted or modified in any way. If you use the
product for other purposes than those described above, the product may be damaged. Furthermore, improp-
er use can cause risks such as short-circuits, fire, etc. Please read the operating instructions carefully and do
not discard them. Please include these operating instructions when you pass the product on to a third party.
This product complies with the applicable national and European Regulations. All names of companies and
products are the trademarks of the respective owners. All rights reserved.

Explanation of symbols
An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important instructions in these operating instructions
that must be adhered to.
The arrow symbol indicates specific tips and advice on operation.
Safety Instructions
Also find out about local legislation concerning remote-controlled devices. For example,
in Germany, using any type of model aircraft is subject to air traffic regulations. Violation
of these legal provisions may result in severe penalties and restriction of the insurance
coverage.
Several countries require insurance for all model aircraft and ban or severely restrict the
use of FPV devices!
a) General information
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not allowed for safety and
approval reasons.
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not get damp or wet. Do not expose the product and the remote control to
direct sunlight or excessive heat for a longer period of time.
• The operation and the handling of remote-controlled devices must be learnt! If you have never
controlled a model via FPV, start very carefully and get used to the reactions of the device to
the remote control commands first. Be patient!
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly, since it could become a danger-
ous toy for children.
• Should any questions arise that are not answered with the help of these operating instructions,
please contact us or another expert.
• Maintenance, adjustment and repair work should only be carried out by an expert or a spe-
cialised workshop.
b) Before operation
• The battery in the FPV goggles must be charged before use.
• Select an appropriate site for operating the model.
• Make sure that no other models are operated within the range of the remote-controlled cam-
era on the same 5.8 band (transmitter frequency). Always check that simultaneously operated
2.4 GHz transmitters do not interfere with your FPV headset.
• Check the function safety of the product and the remote control system. Pay attention to vis-
ible damages such as broken plug-in connections or damaged cables.
c) During operation
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your surround-
ings depend on your responsible handling of the product. Do not steer the device towards
spectators or yourself.
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Therefore, during
operation, ensure a proper safe distance to persons, animals and objects.
• Only operate your models with the FPV goggles set if you can react unrestricted. Fatigue,
alcohol or medicine can cause faulty responses.
FPV operation
a) General information
The included wide-angle camera transmits the video signal via 5.8 GHz radio signal to the included FPV
goggles. A so-called "FPV operation" (FPV = "First Person View" = operation from the cockpit perspective)
is possible thanks to the live transmission.
Important!
In any case, observe the current national legal regulations and provisions for FPV operation,
especially for aircraft models.
Attention!
Purely FPV operation poses an accident risk, as you may not see obstacles or not in time owing
to the limited camera image. Therefore, FPV operation should always be observed by a co-pilot,
so that he can warn you in time of dangers. It also takes a great deal of practice to control models
via FPV operation. Also, especially in the learning phase, make sure that the selected airfield (or
lane or waters) is free of obstacles and far from people, animals, buildings and roads.
For interference-free transmission of the video signals, there should be no further transmitters
in the 5.8 GHz transmission range of the product. If several such transmitters are operated
simultaneously, it is important to use different transmission channels.
Pay attention to the privacy of others in the image and video recordings. Any recordings are only permitted
for private use. Publications of any kind may require the consent of the owner or persons seen on the record-
ings. In any case, observe the regulations applicable in your country.
b) Operating and connection elements of FPV goggles
1
AV input: This socket can be used to connect external video sources such as a DVD player, the images
of which are then played on the video goggles.
2
Headband bracket: The adjustable straps of the headband are hung in the retaining clips.
3
Facial foam padding: The foam padding prevents pressure points on the face and ensures a comfortable
fit. A foam padding is included for use on the nose bridge, and still has to be glued on.
4
Ventilation openings: The video goggles are cooled through convection. For this reason, the ventilation
openings must not be covered.
5
Micro USB charging socket: The supplied charging cable is connected to this socket to charge the
integrated lithium battery.
6
Antenna socket: On the antenna base, the enclosed radio antenna must be screwed on.

Buttons 7 - 10 are used to set the video goggles and are described in detail below.
c) Charging the battery of the FPV goggles
The FPV goggles have a built-in rechargeable battery that must be charged before use. Charge the battery
as follows:
• Connect the included charging cable to the micro USB socket (5).
• Connect the USB plug of the included charging cable to a computer USB port or USB connector of a power
adapter. The charge control LED (11) in the FPV goggles will lights up, indicating the charging process.
• Once charging is complete and the built-in battery is fully charged, the red LED in the FPV goggles will
go out.
• Immediately after charging, unplug the FPV goggles from the charging cable and disconnect the USB plug
of the charging cable from the computer/notebook or plug-in charger.
Do not connect the USB cable to a USB hub without its own power supply (eg a USB port in a
keyboard or similar), as it does not have sufficient power for the charging.
The operating system does not detect new hardware when the charging cable is connected, as the USB port
is only used for charging. Please note that the computer/notebook's USB ports are usually only active when
the computer/notebook is switched on.
We therefore recommend that you only connect the charging cable to the computer/notebook when it is
switched on.
Important!
Only charge the battery of the FPV goggles using the included charging cable. Never try to
charge the battery using other or unsuitable chargers!
FPV camera with video transmitter
When attaching the camera to your device, set it until you have your desired field of view. However, ensure
that the camera is mounted firmly enough (eg with the camera mount from the set), that the camera does
not detach or can get into contact with the rotating parts (eg propellers in a model aeroplane), for example.
In addition, the antenna must protrude freely from the device to achieve good transmission, in other words,
the full range of the transmission signal.
The camera is suitable for an operating voltage of 4.5 to 5.5 V/DC (eg from the receiver power supply
via a BEC). With a voltage of 4.5 V/DC, it requires a current of up to 550 mA; at 5.5 V/DC up to 350 mA.
A conventional servo plug (System JR) is available for connection.
Operating the device with a voltage higher than 5.5 V/DC will destroy the camera module, and
will render the warranty/guarantee void!
Pay attention to the correct polarity when connecting the power supply ("+" = red cable, "-" =
black cable).
When using the model for an extended time, it will become very hot. This is normal. Therefore,
ensure proper cooling during operation or only operate for short periods if no cooling is possible.
