View source for KAVAN V5 - Operating system ECOS user manual

== Introduction ==
The operating system ECOS is a new streamlined interface for monochrome-display radios. It inherits the logic of the ETHOS operating system, making it simple to learn and fast to operate.

If you have any questions about the V5 transmitter and its operation, please contact the technical and service staff at KAVAN Europe s.r.o. by e-mail ('''info@kavanrc.com''' for general technical information, '''service@kavanrc.com''' for service) or by phone ('''+420 466 260 133''' for general technical information, '''+420 463 358 700''' for service), during working hours 8 am–4 pm CET, Monday to Friday).

== Main View ==
This is the default screen during operation or idling. It displays the model name, trim values, current channel output values and the remaining radio battery charge.
