- You can either use the composite video cable (yellow plug) or the s-video cable (black plug) for the video signal.
- The red and the white plugs are used for the stereo audio signal.
- Connect the battery to the FPV receiver.
- Ensure that the FPV receiver uses the same frequency as the FPV transmitter.
Step 4: Open the FPViewer App and Connect
