NOTE: The wireless HDMI transceiver is specifically paired with its corresponding Pilot unit. Loss or damage of the receiver will impair one-to-one connectivity. Pilot units with lost or broken receivers will need a new receiver to be paired and programmed before continuing use. If your receiver is lost or broken, please contact HoverCam Support.
Cleaning and Care When cleaning the HoverCam Pilot, extra care should be taken in consideration to the touch screen and external components. The best and safest cleaning method is to use a dry microfiber cloth and gently wipe the touch screen while the unit is powered off.
