2.5.2 Air unit status indicator& button Bind status indicator Bind button The 2 LED lights of air unit are used to indicate the bind status only, when air unit is in binding, they will be flashing in yellow/green respectively. Note: Unit is bound already before factory delivery, user do not need to do bind again after unfolding the box.

(2)Power off Press-and-hold the power button till the “Power off” popped up on screen, tap on it to power off the remote controller. Press-and-hold the button combination of Power and C for 15 seconds, remote controller will be shut down forcibly. (3)Sleep Press the power button to get the screen into sleep when the remote controller is powered on, and invoke by it also.

force. (2)Select “Stick ” and access the setup screen shown below by touching “Start”. (3)If the sticks are at the neutral position already, but the blue dots are not at the central, it means the stick neutral position has an offset.Now do not move the stick, touch on “Next” to do neutral position calibration.
5.1.2 Channel settings Servo travel end point, operation direction reversal and channel mapping can be set by user via channel settings. Servo travel end point Default servo travel end point ranges 200~1800. User can also change the end point manually. Select the channel, and input the value.
Page 18
Channel mapping ViuRC5 has 14 channels in total, and allow user to define the mapping relations between logical communication channel and physical channel(button, switch, stick, etc.). Select the channel and touch on the channel name to bring up the configuration window.
5.1.3 Volume calibration Volume correction can be performed periodically to ensure the output accuracy of volume channel. Neutral position and end point can be calibrated. Volume calibration method (1)Before start, please make sure both sticks stand still without position offset caused by external force.

(3)If the volumes stand still already, but the output value is not 0, it means the volume neutral position has an offset.Now do not move the volume, touch on “Next” to do neutral position calibration. (4)Go on with end point calibration. According to the prompt, move volume fully in each direction, afterwards, touch on “Complete”...
5.1.4 System settings Button mode setting, stick mode setting and restore factory settings can be made at system page. Button setting There are options of self-locking and non-self-locking for the buttons of A, B, C and D. Self-locking for button A and button B, non-self-locking for button C and button D by default, user can change it manually.
after user press again, the output will be back to 200. Non-self-locking: when press-and-hold the button, the output of this channel will be 1800, as soon as user release the button, the output goes back to 200. Stick setting There are options of American, Japanese, Chinese and custom for stick mode. 5.2 Transceiver There is radio transmitter and receiver integrated in the remote control system.

Parameter settings At Set page, user can do binding operation, working frequency mode change, and restore factory settings. When working mode is Auto, system will work at the least interfered frequency channel dynamically, when it is Manual, user can manually select the specific frequency to use. Note: (1)Baud rate of serial telemetry is hard-coded as 115200 in pre-installed QGC, so baud rate of the radio link should keep aligned if pre-installed QGC is used.

reference. The TFTP server is used for air unit remote firmware upgrade, IP address of air unit(192.168.199.18) is set here as the TFTP server IP address. If air unit IP address is changed, the server IP address must be modified accordingly.
5.4 Upgrade Check for firmware updates of remote controller, transceiver, and app tool. Touch on “Run” to do the firmware version check, results will be listed. If it’s not the latest, upgrade can be done online over the Internet access.
5.5 Version Check for the detailed hardware device type and software version. 6 Notice (1) Check battery level is enough for the whole flight before take off; (2) Make sure antennas are properly installed to avoid drone body blockage and do not power on device without antenna installation;...
7 FAQ (1) Telemetry connection failure? A: Check baud rate of FC, radio link and QGC are the same or not, check telemetry cable connection between air unit and FC, check FC telemetry signal is TTL or not. (2) Is it possible to install other app in RC? A: it can.
