Critical Usage Notes

Antenna Connection: You MUST connect all antennas (SWR ≤ 2) BEFORE powering on. Failure to do so will damage the transmitter.

Cable Handling: NEVER crush or sharply bend the base of the coaxial cable. This will interrupt the feed or degrade quality.

Operation & Support

Cooling: Active cooling is REQUIRED. Ensure the fan assembly is functioning during prolonged operations.

Warranty: Disassembly of the camera or transmitter unit voids the manufacturer warranty.
