FCC Compliance Notice: Radio Frequency Notice

The device has met the FCC 15.247 requirement. In order to comply with the FCC RF

exposure requirement, the user must keep 20cm away from the antenna.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-

sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user

is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following mea-

sures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Ensure the video source output of the camera is OK, and the HD monitor

is powered on and switched to connected video input port.

）

Ensure 2 TX antennas are installed. For optimal results set the dual

antennas in the form of a “V” and maintain unobstructed line of sight
between transmitter and receiver. Below figure for your reference.

Ensure both transmitter and receiver are powered via battery or DC input.

Then turn on power switch of the transmitter and receiver respectively. The
POWER indicator will then light.

）

Ensure the transmitter and receiver is set with the same frequency.

If the camera is on and video input is OK, TX side VIDEO indicator will light.

Installation

）

Before RX finished wireless link with TX, 5 RSSI indicators and VIDEO
indicators are off; when wireless link is done, RSSI indicators will light first
and indicate the signal strength. If the receiver detects wireless video normal
internally from air inferface, VIDEO indicator will light. Before that, If SDI or
HDMI video out port of the receiver has HD monitor connected, it will
display an OSD of Link connecting…… as in the figure below.

8) The system will spend 20-30 seconds constructing the link, depending
on link strength and the signal channel condition. When wireless link is
established the RSSI light will illuminate, indicating the current wireless
signal strength, VIDO indicators will light, and the connected HD monitor
will be playing the real-time video and audio.

Installation

The wireless transmission system works in the 5.1-5.9GHz frequency band
and can be flexibly configured to other licensed or ISM bands to accommodate
different global regions. The front panel of the transmitter features a
frequency selection button (see below illustration), which provides a maximum
of 4 workable frequency channels, and supports a maximum of 4 simultaneous
receiver units.
