As a Plug-N-Play (PNP) version, the GEPRC Vapor-X5 O4 Pro does not include a pre-installed receiver. You will need to install a compatible receiver (e.g., GEPRC ELRS24 or TBS Nano RX) and bind it with your remote controller. Refer to your chosen receiver's manual for specific installation and binding instructions.

4.2. Camera and VTX Module Installation

The O4 Pro Camera and VTX module require careful installation to ensure optimal performance and vibration dampening. Follow these general steps, referring to the provided video for visual guidance:

1. Insert the O4 camera into its camera bracket, ensuring the connector faces the canopy.
2. Install the shock-absorbing balls into the camera bracket slots.
3. Place the camera and bracket assembly into the canopy, aligning the holes. Secure with M2*4 flat head socket cap screws.
4. Install the VTX shock absorption module. Insert the 6.6mm shock-absorbing balls into the module's holes, ensuring the higher end faces down.
5. Connect the 6Pin connector cable to the O4 VTX module and the VTX antenna to its connector.
6. Place the O4 VTX module onto the flight controller, aligning the holes with the flight control unit.
7. Tighten the forward shock-absorbing ball of the O4 VTX module with an M1.4*10*4 Phillips flat washer head tapping screw.
8. Place the canopy onto the O4 VTX module, ensuring the camera faces forward and the canopy holes align with the shock-absorbing balls.
9. Pass the VTX antenna through the rear hole of the canopy.
10. Tighten the canopy with three M1.4*10*4 Phillips flat washer head tapping screws.
11. Replace the camera cable using tweezers, ensuring it is suspended to reduce vibration and prevent touching the canopy.

4.3. Batteriinstallation

Securely attach the recommended 6S LiPo 1300mAh – 1800mAh battery to the top plate using the provided battery straps. Ensure the battery is centered for optimal balance and that the anti-slip pads prevent movement during flight. Connect the XT60 connector to the drone's power port.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1. Tjekliste før flyvning

• Ensure all components (drone, remote controller, FPV goggles) are fully charged.
• Verify propellers are correctly installed and free from damage.
• Kontroller for løse skruer eller forbindelser.
• Confirm GPS signal acquisition before takeoff (drone will beep when satellites are acquired).
• Perform a quick visual inspection of the flight area for any potential hazards.

5.2. Flight Modes and Controls

The Vapor-X5 O4 Pro supports various flight modes. Familiarize yourself with your remote controller's manual for specific mode activation and control schemes. For FPV flight, ensure your goggles are properly configured and displaying a clear video feed.
