Fat Shark 11 RC Vision Systems
HD Input:
The HD port can be connected to HDMI devices via the high definition
media mini port. Recommend to first connect to the HDMI device then
apply the power from the battery (allow the HDMI device to initiate using
power supplied through the cable by the host device before powering
goggles). Disconnect power when switching between devices to clear the
settings.
Note: Most HD connectivity issues are due to either incorrect monitor
settings or faulty cable. Before assuming the HD port is defective, try with
alternative HDMI sources and alternative cables. HDMI cables may
fracture over time at connector flex points.
Diversity Receiver:
The diversity receiver has two SMA connectors marked Primary and
Secondary. The purpose of diversity receiver is to combine coverage of a
direction and omni antenna. If using with a single antenna (omni or
directional), place on Primary SMA only. If using with a directional AND
an omni, place the omni on Secondary SMA and the directional on Primary
SMA.
18650 Battery Holder (batteries not included):
The Fat Shark 18650 Battery Holder is compatible with commonly available
18650 style Li-Ion packs to provide a huge capacity power supply. The
holder has a row of stylish blue LED indicators to indicate remaining
capacity (4 levels) to prevent a sudden power/vision lost. It seats securely
in the headset strap pocket on back. Batteries must be removed from
holder and charged via external charging (charger and batteries not
included).
