5. സുരക്ഷാ മുൻകരുതലുകൾ

Please read and understand these safety precautions before operating the iFlight BLITZ 5.8GHz 1.6W VTX to prevent injury or damage:

• വൈദ്യുതി വിതരണം: Ensure the VTX is connected to a power source within its specified voltage range (typically 7-26V, 2-6S LiPo). Incorrect voltage യൂണിറ്റിന് കേടുപാടുകൾ വരുത്താം.
• ആന്റിന കണക്ഷൻ: Always connect the antenna before powering on the VTX. Operating without an antenna can cause permanent damage to the VTX.
• ചൂട് മാനേജ്മെൻ്റ്: The VTX can generate significant heat, especially at higher power settings. Ensure adequate airflow and avoid enclosing it in tight spaces without ventilation. The CNC aluminum alloy heat sink aids in cooling, but proper installation is crucial.
• Frequency Regulations: Adhere to local laws and regulations regarding FPV transmission frequencies and power levels. Operating outside these regulations may be illegal.
• വയറിംഗ്: Double-check all wiring connections before applying power. Incorrect wiring can lead to short circuits and damage to the VTX or other components.
• കുട്ടികൾ: Keep the VTX and related components out of reach of children.

6.3 Betaflight Configuration (SmartAudio)

The iFlight BLITZ VTX supports the IRC Tramp protocol (often referred to as SmartAudio in Betaflight) for remote control of VTX settings. To enable this:

1. Connect your flight controller to Betaflight Configurator.
2. എന്നതിലേക്ക് നാവിഗേറ്റ് ചെയ്യുക തുറമുഖങ്ങൾ ടാബ്.
3. Identify the UART to which the VTX's SmartAudio (or IRC Tramp) wire is connected.
4. For that UART, select IRC Tramp കീഴിൽ പെരിഫറലുകൾ കോളം.
5. ക്ലിക്ക് ചെയ്യുക സേവ് ചെയ്ത് റീബൂട്ട് ചെയ്യുക.
6. After reboot, go to the വീഡിയോ ട്രാൻസ്മിറ്റർ tab (or OSD tab for VTX settings via OSD) to configure bands, channels, and power levels.

7. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The VTX can be operated via physical buttons or through SmartAudio/IRC Tramp protocol via your flight controller and OSD/remote control.

7.1 Manual Operation (Buttons)

The VTX features individual buttons for power, band, and channel selection, indicated by LED lights.

Individual Power and Frequency Band & Channel buttons for convenient switching.

LED indicator lights show current power and frequency point changes, providing simple and clear status.

• Power Button (PWR): Short press to cycle through power levels (25mW, 400mW, 800mW, 1600mW).
• Band Button (BAND): Short press to cycle through frequency bands (A, B, E, F, R).
• Channel Button (CH): Short press to cycle through channels within the selected band.
• ലോക്ക്/അൺലോക്ക്: Some VTXs have a lock feature to prevent accidental changes. Refer to the specific product's quick start guide for details on unlocking if necessary.

കുറിപ്പ്: 5645, 5925, 5945 (E4, E7, E8) channels may not be available due to FCC regulations.
