BrianSelfDesign Here's a photo illustrating where the 4-pin male-to-female jumper cable extension plugs into the NAZA. The A 4-pin jumper wire extension (shown in the picture with blue, lavender, gray and white wires) is required to extend the reach of the LED/USB wire mounted on the door up to the NAZA. These 4-pin wires are commonly used with Arduinos and can be purchased at low cost online. Plug in the 4-pin LED/USB extension wire into the correct port on the NAZA If your 4-pin extension wire fits loosely, take a small piece of electrical tape to secure to the NAZA Take note of which colors on the 4-pin extension wire correspond to the 4 wires on the LED/USB board. If necessary, write it down, because once the Phantom shell is closed, it is not possible to see the wires and how they are plugged in. In this example, the blue wire corresponds to the red wire on the LED/USB board. NOTE: Take note of the direction of the extension wire at the NAZA so that it is not reversed when you plug the USB/LED board in that is mounted on the battery door. Hope this helps.

BrianSelfDesign Here's a photo illustrating how the light mounts inside the door of the standard Phantom 1. (The FC40's USB/LED board is bigger and orients differently than the standard Phantom 1 that's shown here, and that's why this slightly different product is offered for the FC40.)

BrianSelfDesign Hi Christian. An additional note, I realized that much of the technical notes for the 40mm Battery Door were not also copied onto this listing for the battery door specifically for the FC40. I wanted to let you know that there is an extension cable that lets you bring the light you have mounted externally onto the door itself with the following 4-pin male-to-female jumper wire extension: http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=14146&gclid=CO_en7nTrL8CFQWQaQodAYwAvg Hopefully this will help. Let me know if you have any other issues. Thanks for your interest.

BrianSelfDesign @christian_kasischke Hi Christian. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues. I'm confused about your configuration. The USB/LED light is suppose to be mounted on the door too, if installed properly, but your photo shows the light somehow glued on the outside of the shell? In the unlikely event of a door detachment - you're the first report I've had of a door coming off - the wire should keep the door from falling off entirely. I've never had a problem in all the flights I've had, and I'm not aware of any other customer having an issue. I can't see for sure, but it may be the clasps need to fasten fully top and bottom. I'm unfamiliar with the batter you're using. If the battery is interferes with the door's clasps that may be part of the problem. Verify the door is fully fitted top and bottom before each flight, and make sure that the battery is not oversized. It's also important to keep a battery that may fit loosely in the bay from shifting inside. It's not possible to evaluate every possible combination and configuration, that's why it's important for each pilot to check everything before take off. I hope that helps. Thanks for your business.
