Hardware Setup

Unbox the devices, check the exterior and buttons, and finish mounting and charging so the kit is ready to use. Battery replacement lives here too.

Ready-made kit (master & receivers)

Before you start

01 · Getting Started completed
One USB-C cable that supports data (shared by charging and flashing)
A camera arm or mount for receivers (1/4" thread)

Exterior and buttons#

Location	Element	Description
Front	OLED display	Status and settings (master 6 pages / receiver 3 pages)
Front	Front button	Short press = cycle OLED pages
Bottom	ON/OFF switch	Hard power switch (full cutoff)
Bottom	RESET button	Reboot (settings kept) — not a factory reset
Bottom/side	USB-C port	Shared by charging and firmware flashing
Bottom	1/4" thread	Camera arm / mount attachment
Inside	LoRa antenna	Built into the case — nothing to attach

Device extras	Purpose
Master: W5500 LAN (RJ45)	Wired network — usable alongside WiFi
Receiver: 8 rear LEDs + diffuser	PGM red / PVW green / OFF
Receiver: 4 front RGB LEDs	Same tally colors

The master has no tally LEDs

The master shows state on the OLED only; PGM/PVW lighting is output on receiver LEDs.

Power and charging#

1
Power on
Set the bottom switch to ON → OLED shows boot progress (master [NN/11], receiver [NN/7])
2
Boot done
Progress reaches the end → normal first page appears
3
Charge (as needed)
Connect a 5V/1A+ adapter → front charge LED lights; usable while charging

No PD fast charging

Use a regular 5V/1A-or-better adapter only — PD chargers can cause overcharge damage.

Battery (18650) replacement#

Item	Spec
Type	18650 lithium-ion
Replacement	User-replaceable (18650 rating only)
Protection	BMS (over-discharge protection) required

Battery safety

Match the polarity exactly — reversed insertion risks damage and fire. Avoid metal contact (short circuits) and impacts; replace swollen or damaged cells immediately.

1
Cut power
Bottom switch to OFF → fully powered down
2
Open the cover
Open the bottom battery cover → cell exposed
3
Replace
Insert a new BMS-equipped 18650 with correct polarity → close the cover
4
Verify boot
Switch ON → boot progress completes normally

Pre-use check#

OLED boots normally with the switch ON
Master: LAN link recognized when cabled (if applicable)
Receiver: rear LEDs light up
Charging indicator appears on USB-C power
