RTF AERO FPV/OSD KIT
AV receiver
Antenna
Two 900 mAh
LiPo batteries
Thank you for purchasing a OSD/FPV Kit with your RTF Aero!
Your new, lightweight video setup allows you to capture onboard video from the
Aero using a compact camera, overlay the video with important data from your
autopilot, and transmit the video in flight. This kit does not include a device to view
your video. Please see the section on page 4 for different options for viewing
the video transmitted by your kit.

Battery information
The transmitter and receiver are powered by 3-cell 11.1 V 900 mAh lithium
polymer (LiPo) batteries. Please charge the batteries before each use. Each
full battery provides approximately two hours of operation for your OSD/FPV
system.
Protect battery from extreme heat, extreme cold, puncturing, and flammable
surfaces. Charge battery using a designated LiPo balance charger only. Always
monitor battery while charging, and always fly with a fully charged battery.
Inspect battery for damage before takeo and after landing. If you observe
any swelling of the package or the battery ceases to function, locate your local
battery recycling center to dispose of the battery. In the US and Canada, visit
call2recycle.org to find a location. Do not dispose of the battery in the trash.
Viewing your video
Power your vehicle, and connect the batteries to the transmitter and receiver to
activate your OSD/FPV setup.
We recommend the following devices for displaying the video transmitted by your
3DR Video Kit.
» FPV monitors are a great, portable solution for viewing your video at the field.
Purchase a monitor/receiver compatible with your kit at store.3drobotics.com.
» Turn your computer into a video capturing platform with this AV-USB adapter.
(This solution requires an AV male-to-male adapter.)
