Where is CE and FCC selection?

[rockhoundrob]

I was reading the manual and one option I saw was CE / FCC selection.

Where is this and what is the difference? Is it FCC for the USA and CE for Europe?

I do see that CE is 400 meters and FCC is 800 meters.

Yes, FCC is for the US and CE is for Europe.

That didn't answer his question totally

If you turn to the right (gently) the low most pot inside back of your TX, it will set FCC, and to the left most will set CE. Use RC Assistant for check it. Don't know which TX model you have so here there area some help videos:

You'll know if you have FCC selected as you get 2 beeps when turning the transmitter on.

Ah HA! OK if it's those "BEEPS" I need to get my son to listen (I am deaf!) lol !

So 2 beeps, its FCC... how many for CE?

Thanks ! But why 400 meters for CE and 800 for FCC? why not make ALL TX FCC so everything is 800 meters?

My son says it THREE beeps !! I have a Phantom 2 V2 . The TX is the kind that has the dial on the top left corner for gimbal control.

HOPE this still means its FCC !

Because different countries have different limits on the amount of power you are allowed to transmit.

Mine does three too, and as far as I know mine is CE, and is also a P2 V2, so these are 2.4Ghz. It could be that 5.8Ghz are 1 and 2, and 2.4 Ghz are 3 and 4.

You can only change the 5.8Ghz the 2.4Ghz cannot be changed. I never knew this until
I talked to my local Dji dealer .

And in the UK the CE setting limits the Tx to 25mw - which is the maximum allowed by law at that frequency.

I thought I saw a calibration procedure on Youtube and it showed you can select CE or FCC.

I have look at all the Assistant screens and can't find it!

Does anyone know where it is?

And it sucks here in Oz where they have us use CE.

 

[rockhoundrob]

Well that's the thing... I am in Oklahoma (USA)

I just want to know if my Phantom is FCC or CE! I want to fly at least 1/2 mile!

 

[rockhoundrob]

I think I found the answer....

I looked at the bottom of my TX and it says "FCC IC: XXXXXXXXXXXX"
and "This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules."

So good to know I have 1/2 mile range!
