 ===1. Physical Mounting and Installation in Airframe===
 *Mount a standard '''Aura 8''' to the airframe using the included double-sided foam tape. (Never use hook-and-loop tape to mount an Aura!)<br />
-*Mount an '''Aura Professional 8 or 12''' using the included grommets and screws. It is a good practice to remove the screws and put a small amount of CA glue into the holes to strengthen the screw interface. (you may also uses bolts and lock-nuts of your choice for high vibration environments)

 *You will later use the Aura app to properly configure the orientation. (''Note:'' Standard Aura 8 users should refer to the Quick Start Guide for the two orientations supported by Quick Setup if you choose to use that setup process)
 *Thoroughly clean the area to which the Aura will be mounted. Any surface dirt, dust, grease, or oil will severely marginalize any foam tape’s strength.
-*Ensure that the mounting surface is solid and not susceptible to flexing or movement. Movement of poorly mounted Aura can cause a self-exiting feedback-loop with the servos. Mount the Aura securely on a '''stiff''' platform.

 *If installing in a high-performance airplane (larger than a typical park flyer), place a Hook-and-Loop strap around the unit (all Auras) to prevent it from becoming dislodged during high-energy maneuvering.

 When configuring via the Quick Setup method, refer to the Quick Setup instructions regarding trim/sub-trim.<br />
-When configuring though the Aura Config Tool Application (retrofit or new model), '''you should NOT use transmitter sub-trim or trim''' during model setup. You should use Aura's sub-trim, Aura's Quick Trim feature and/or mechanical linkage adjustments to eliminate the need for sub-trim/trim in your transmitter.

 ===3. Wiring Connections===
 Depending on the complexity of the model and 'radio source' used, there are many ways to connect the Aura.  Many 'typical' setups are shown below.  Additional information on more advanced setups can be found at the [[Aura/FAQ|Aura FAQ]].
-Always remove the propeller, unplug the motor or take other action as needed to disable the power system before applying power and adjusting Aura settings.  This is especially important for the initial setup and power of the Aura and your aircraft.

 Lit White LED's in the upper right window indicate a battery connection when the unit is ON. (If one power source has a lower voltage than the other, its White LED will be unlit until the batteries come into balance.) The small Red LEDs (next to the White ones) can be programmed using the Config Tool to give a low battery voltage indication.<br /><br />
 '''Important:''' The professional unit draws a small amount of electrical power even when switched OFF. '''Un-Plug''' the batteries when not in use for more than several hours.<br /><br />

'''Be very careful to make sure the polarity of all connectors is correct.''' If you are putting a large load such as larger servos on your Receivers Bus, you can use and extra male to male connector with the signal wire removed to connect the Aura Bus (any empty servo port) to the Receiver Bus (any empty port)<br /><br />
 '''Note:''' Do '''not''' use any type of '''BEC''' (Battery Eliminator Circuit) that will SUPPLY power to the Aura Professional's servo bus. If a chosen ESC for example includes a BEC, disable it by removing the "+" pin from the connector and taping it back. In this case, connect only the "-" and "signal" pins.
