5.14.6.6 Motor Battery Gauge
The motor battery gauge graphically shows the main pack's remaining mAH. Note that the total mAH must be
set correctly for this feature to be accurate.
5.14.6.7 Home/Center Screen Marker
Places a small circle with "T" in the center of the screen.
5.14.6.8 Flight Mode Indicator
This indicator displays a 2 or 3 digit code for the flight mode presently being used. See the "Flight Mode
Indicator" column in the table in section 5.9.1 for the code displayed with each flight mode.
Normally the present flight mode is the one being commanded by the positions of the mode/submode
switches, but in some conditions, such as loss of GPS signal or receiver failsafe, a different flight mode may be in
use.
5.14.6.9 Graphical Variometer
The graphical charting variometer shows you the present climb or sinks rate, as well as historic rates. You can
adjust the graphical variometer as described below:
Graphical Vario Scale (+/-): This setting lets you set the maximum climb or sinkrate that will be displayed on
the variometer. For example, if you set this to 1000, and your altitude units are in feet, the top of the chart will
represent 1000 feet per minute (FPM), and the bottom of the chart will represent -1000 FPM.
Graphical Vario Update Rate: This setting lets you control how quickly the points on the chart get updated.
If you want a longer history displayed on the screen, you would set the update rate to a lower number, and vice
versa.
5.14.6.10 Artificial Horizon Indicator
The Artificial Horizon Indicator (AHI) display graphically shows you your model's present orientation with
respect to the horizon. There are three display options:
Simple: this option displays a simple, 2 line AHI.
F-16 Color: this option shows a full color version of the F-16 style AHI. The numbers displayed with the AHI
indicate the degrees of pitch.
F-16 Mono: this displays a black and white version of the F-16 style AHI.

Setting OSD Alarms

Alarms can let you know about potential flight issues, such as low
battery, high altitude, or flying out of range, before they become
serious. When an alarm is triggered for a numeric readout, the
numeric readout will flash. Additionally, if you turn the setting
on, the OSD will speak the present value of the readout whenever
an alarm is triggered (via the audio connection to your video
transmitter).
Setting up alarms for common conditions is quite easy with the
Vector. Just navigate to the "Alarms/Alerts Setup" menu from the OSD Setup screen, and select the alarms you
want.
