RCV922 Wireless Video Glasses
Please read before operating this device
Congratulations on purchasing the Fat Shark RCV922 Aviator Edition
wireless video glasses. To ensure your continued enjoyment, please
take the time to read through this operating manual before using.
New for 2012: Battery has been upgraded with a redesigned 1A pack
with molded shape and balance leads. It comes with a discharge
adapter to eliminate the need for a redundant charger.
The 1000mAh 7.4V lithium polymer battery pack is equipped with a 3
pole balance charger lead that allows the battery to be charged off
standard RC battery pack chargers (not included). Follow your charger instructions for setting up for 1000mAh 7.4V Li-po.
Note: some chargers require the discharge cable to be connected.
Use the enclosed discharge lead adapter for these types of chargers.
Note: If the charger fails to announce charge complete, but is
showing battery voltage at 8.4V, the charge can be considered
complete.
DO NOT LEAVE BATTERY ATTACHED TO CHARGER WHEN
CHARGER IS NOT PLUGGED IN.
Notes and advice from
experienced video pilots:
· Always perform a range test before flying. This includes AV
and RC controls. Some RC RXs can be affected by the
proximity of other electronic devices.
· Best to space components away from each other.
· Do not listen to anyone who says you can use 2.4Ghz AV with
2.4Ghz RC controllers. 2.4Ghz AV + 2.4Ghz RC = crash.
· Your 2.4Ghz TX will not affect the RC control of other RC users
(however, their controllers will affect your AV reception).
· Until experienced, practice flying in a familiar area to avoid
becoming disorientated.
· Due to antenna characteristics, there is a “null” directly above
the antenna. You may notice excessive video breakup when
flying overhead (can tilt your head to regain solid signal).
· If using 2.4Ghz, be aware of other 2.4Ghz RC users. If they
turn their RC radio on while next to you, they may knock out
your image.
· 5.8Ghz signal strength drops off very fast (2.4Ghz is more
gradual). If using 5.8Ghz, stay safely within solid AV range.

Choosing the Best Channel
For best performance, select a channel that has the least amount of
interference.
While the transmitter is turned OFF, Turn on the video headset and look at
the screen as you check each channel. Clear channels will have a
consistent static background. Channels with interference will have
horizontal static lines.
Once you have chosen the clearest channel on the headset, set the
transmitter to the same channel.

..
For maximum distance it is very important that a clear line of sight exists
between the transmitter and the video headset. 2 of the worst causes of
interference are human bodies and reinforced concrete.
The headset receiver may become warm to touch during use (particularly in
the antenna region and top middle). This is normal.
Note on using 5.8Ghz AV with 2.4Ghz RC controllers:
2.4Ghz may cause harmonic interference on Ch2 – Ch7 of the 5.8Ghz AV
(Ch1 not affected). The headset has been equipped with a high pass filter
that will allow the system to work with CE certified 2.4Ghz RC controllers.
However, the filtering may be insufficient to remove noise from overpowered
non CE certified controllers such as FRSky or cheap radios. If you experience
interference from your radio, change the AV channel to channel 1.
Although you don’t require any license to operate this device, you are still
legally responsible for operating in a responsible manner. If someone has told
you that your transmitter is interfering with their 2.4 Ghz system you are
legally responsible to remedy the situation by either changing to a different
channel, moving locations or cease using. Please be a responsible user of
this device.
