4.2 Strømtilslutning

Connect the provided XT-60 power cable to the camera's power input. The camera supports a 2S-4S LiPo battery (7.4V-14.8V). Ensure correct polarity when connecting the power source to avoid damage to the unit.

The camera's wiring typically consists of:

Rød ledning: Positive (+) power input
Sort ledning: Negative (-) power input (Ground)
Gul ledning: Video Out (if applicable, though this is AIO, so video is transmitted wirelessly)

For direct power, connect the red and black wires to your vehicle's battery or a suitable power distribution board within the specified voltage rækkevidde.

4.3 Antenneinstallation

The Spotter V2 comes with a pre-installed Cloverleaf antenna. A spare Whip antenna is also included. If the Cloverleaf antenna becomes damaged, you can solder the Whip antenna in its place. Ensure the antenna is securely attached and positioned to minimize obstruction for best signal transmission.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Powering On and Initial Check

Once the camera is mounted and powered correctly, connect your FPV goggles or monitor. The camera will power on automatically with your vehicle's power system. You should see the FPV feed on your display device.

5.2 Channel and Power Adjustment

The Spotter V2 features a button for frequency adjustment. Refer to the markings on the camera unit for the exact location of the "PRESS" button. Short presses typically cycle through channels, while long presses may cycle through bands or power levels. Consult the on-screen display (OSD) for current channel, band, and power settings.

Kort tryk: Change channel within the current band.
Langt tryk: Change band or adjust VTX power (20mW, 200mW).

Ensure your FPV receiver (goggles/monitor) is set to the same band and channel as the Spotter V2 for a clear video feed.

5.3 Skærmvisning (OSD)

The integrated OSD provides real-time information directly on your FPV feed. This may include battery voltage, current channel/band, and other critical flight data. This feature helps in monitoring the system status during operation.

5.4 Integrated Microphone

The Spotter V2 includes an integrated microphone, allowing you to hear ambient sounds from your RC vehicle. This enhances the immersive FPV experience. Ensure your FPV receiver supports audio reception.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Rensning: Keep the camera lens clean using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Antennepleje: Ensure the antenna is not bent or damaged. A damaged antenna can significantly reduce transmission range and video quality. Use the spare whip antenna if the primary antenna is compromised.
Opbevaring: Opbevar kameraet et tørt, køligt sted væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
Magt: Always disconnect power when not in use to prevent battery drain and potential damage.

7. Fejlfinding

Problem	Mulig årsag	Løsning
No video signal on FPV display.	Incorrect channel/band on receiver. Strømmen er ikke tilsluttet eller utilstrækkelig. Beskadiget antenne. Receiver not compatible (e.g., digital receiver with analog camera).	Verify receiver is on the same band and channel as the camera. Kontroller strømtilslutninger og batteriniveautage. Inspect antenna for damage; replace if necessary. Ensure your FPV receiver is analog compatible.
Poor video quality (static, lines, weak signal).	Interferens fra andre enheder. Antenna obstruction or damage. Low VTX power setting. Afstanden fra modtageren er for stor.	Change to a less congested channel. Ensure antenna is clear and undamaged. Increase VTX power to 200mW if range is an issue. Reduce distance between camera and receiver.
No audio from integrated microphone.	FPV receiver does not support audio. Mikrofonporten er blokeret eller beskadiget.	Check your FPV receiver's specifications for audio support. Ensure the microphone opening is not obstructed.
