latest technology including a built-in diversity receiver, a 60 FPS PowerPlay DVR, and everything
necessary for amazing flights. To ensure your get the most out of your experience, please take the time to

Product Compatibility
The Scout has been designed and tested to work with a wide variety of currently available NTSC and
PAL analog transmitters as well as display video directly from an audio visual or auxiliary source. Due to
the high number of different manufacturers and potential variation in quality it’s impossible to for us to
have tested with every product combination of transmitter and camera and some troubleshooting may be
required if mixing components.

Modes
Scout is a multi-function device and has multiple different modes depending on what the user is
trying to accomplish. The modes are powered off, RF input, the options menu, AV/Aux input, and
DVR playback.
Powered Off:
The device is off. This allows the user to leave the Scout without draining the battery. While the
device is off, the user is also able to change the battery or recharge the headset via the USB port.
To turn on the headset, press and hold the power button. You should hear a beep and the LED
indicator should turn red for 3 seconds.
RX Input:
When the device is initially powered on, it will enter RX input mode and will default to the last
channel selected by the user. The screen will turn on and the configurable start-up display will
show the Band, the Chanel, the battery life. The antenna LED will also display your channel color
if in the Race Band mode. You are ready to fly!
Options Menu
The Scout has a wide array of adjustable options and deeper features that are accessed through the
menu system. To enter the options menu, press and hold the center of the 5-way button. The highlevel menu will come up on the screen. The arrows are used to navigate through the options. To
exit the menu, press and hold the center again.
AV/Aux Input:
There are times, like races, when you might want to use the AV or auxiliary video inputs rather
than an RX input. To get into auxiliary input mode, you enter the menu and select source -> the
input source you want to use. In order to go back to RX input, go back into the menu and select RX
as the source.
DVR:
One of the new features in the Scout is the 60FPS PowerPlay DVR. The DVR records on an SD
card and can be accessed in the options menu. The DVR allows playback right in the Scout headset
allowing for a review of a great flight or quick recovery of a lost quad.
