USER GUIDE

Sound buzzer on User Alarms – This option causes the buzzer to sound continuously when a user
programmed OSD alarm (such as low battery, high altitude, etc.) is triggered. The alarm will stop sounding
when the alarm trigger condition is eliminated.
Inactivity/Lost Alarm after – This option lets you set the number of minutes that the Vector must be idle
(no movement of the model and no movement of the radio sticks) until the Alerter will sound the Lost
Model Alarm.
This alarm can make it more likely that you can find your model after a crash, since it will sound after this
number of minutes of idle time (as long as the Vector is powered and connected to the Alerter) even if your
power system temporarily shuts off during a crash. This alarm is always at maximum buzzer volume.
Also, since this alarm will sound if you leave your model sitting idle for this period, it can alert you that you
forgot to disconnect your battery pack. Note that the alarm will not sound when the Vector is connected to
USB.
5.17.2 The Alerter LEDs
The Red and Green Alerter LEDs mirror the state of the Vector’s built-in LED indicator. See section 5.13 for
information on the meaning of these LEDs.
The Blue Alerter LED has two meanings:
When the Red LED is NOT flashing, the Blue LED indicates the present number of satellites seen by the
GPS/Mag. The chart below describes how to interpret the number of satellites in view:
When the Red LED IS flashing (indicating an error condition), the Blue LED indicates the cause of the error,
for the most common errors that can occur. Please see the chart below for the Blue blinks:
Blue LED Blink Pattern when Red LED is Flashing
1 Blink, followed by LONG BLINK
The Receiver Analysis Wizard needs to be run
2 Blinks, followed by LONG BLINK
Low Battery Autoland triggered

There is an issue with the GPS/MAG connection, fix quality,
or calibration
Blue LED Blink Pattern when Red LED is NOT Flashing
