{% hint style="info" %}
The SIM card is recessed into the enclosure and you might need a tool to push it into the socket. You can hear a "**click**" when the card is inserted.
{% endhint %}

### 2. Connect antennas

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Be careful with the antenna port. Remove or Install it in a **straight angle**.

**We are not responsible if the antenna is damaged due to physical impact**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** We currently support variety of Cameras and Gimbals in [**here**](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g-r2/user-manual/advanced-configuration/cameras-and-gimbals)
{% endhint %}

### 4. Connect Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink 5G R2 via [**COM1/AUX**](https://docs.xbstation.com/user-manual/getting-started/interfaces#com1-aux-j3) port.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Config baud rate of Pixhawk to 57600, SERIAL1\_BAUD (Default 57, it means 57600), SERIAL1\_PROTOCOL: 2 (MAVLink 2)
{% endhint %}

### 5. Power up

XBLink 5G R2 supports 7-30V voltage input. We highly recommend **3-4 S battery or 12V DC UBEC** (minimum 3A) to power (6S battery is possible but make sure it's high quality and low discharge)

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2F10kPeIr5mgWMDMGzS8KD%2F3.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=8fc018cd-0b9f-4134-84d3-220dcf343fca" alt=""><figcaption><p>Power up XBLink 5G R2</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.
{% endhint %}

### 6. Done

{% hint style="success" %}
Once XBLink 5G R2 has **coban color** continue to the [next step](#step-2-configure-flight-controller).

## Step 2: Configure Flight Controller

You can use Telemetry 1 or 2 of Pixhawk for connection with XBLink 5G R2. Telemetry 1 is normally used for Telemetry Radio (like: RFD900...) and Telemetry 2 for XBLink 5G R2.

The baud rate on XBLink 5G R2 **must be same** with Pixhawk baud rate (Telemetry**1** or **2**).

* For ArduPilot : **SERIAL2\_BAUD = 57**(Default, it means 57600),

  **SERIAL2\_PROTOCOL**=**2** (MAVLink 2)

#### **More information:** [**here**](https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-port-setup.html)

* For PX4: **SER\_TEL2\_BAUD = 57600** (Default 921600, you should change to 57600 for save data)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you have problem with Telemetry 2 port, you can use Telemetry 1 Port

(Default baud rate Telemetry 1 is 57600, MAVLink:1).

XBLink 5G R2 still works normally with both MAVLink 1 and MAVLink 2.
