The VTX 8.2G-4W is a 4W analog audio and video transmitter operating in the 7.0 to 8.2 GHz band. It provides 56 channels across 7 frequency bands, three selectable output power levels of 200mW, 2W and 4W, and wideband FM modulation with NTSC and PAL video support. The module is built on a compact 36 x 48 x 15 mm PCB with a rear cooling fan, four corner mounting holes and an RP-SMA antenna connector, which makes it suitable for long range FPV, RC and industrial video links.

POWER button
• Short press: cycles power levels 1 / 2 / 3 (200mW / 2W / 4W). The module defaults to the lowest power level after power up.
• The red LED flashes slowly, and the number of flashes matches the current power level.
• Press and hold for 2 seconds: enters PPT mode. Press and hold again for 2 seconds to exit.
CH button
• Short press: cycles channels 1 to 8. The green LED flashes a number of times matching the current channel, with pauses between flash sequences.
• Press and hold for 2 seconds: enters band adjustment mode. Short press then switches between bands A / B / E / F / R / U / O. The blue LED flashes the current band, while the green LED flashes rapidly as a prompt.
• The module exits band adjustment mode and returns to the normal channel adjustment interface automatically if no button operation is performed within 30 seconds.
LED indicators
• R-LED (red): Power level
• B-LED (blue): Frequency band
• G-LED (green): Channel number
Overheating automatic protection
• A built in PTC temperature sensing resistor monitors the PCB main board.
• When the board temperature exceeds 120°C, the output power automatically drops to Level 1 (200mW) and the RGB tri-color indicator flashes rapidly as an alarm.
• When the temperature falls back to 100°C, the module automatically restores the power level set before.
Safety warning
• Do not power on the module without a frequency matched antenna installed, otherwise the RF module will be burned out immediately.
