DEVICE OPERATION

GENERAL

• Keep the transmitter and receiver at close range for 60 seconds after powering on the devices. This allows them to scan for and select the best wireless channel.
• For best results when using multiple Bolt systems in the same area, place the transmitters and receivers a few feet apart from each other.
• Operation of other wireless equipment may interfere with the Bolt. For best results, separate other wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.

MOUNTING

• Bolt 10000 has a 3/8 in threaded hole on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any 3/8 in mounting accessory.
• Mount the receiver vertically, keeping the antennas clear of any obstructions.
• Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to each other.
• For best results, orient the receiver so the front has clear line-of-sight to the transmitter.
