POWER AND CONNECT
1
Connect the output from your video source to the SDI input (G) on the Bolt transmitter. Connect the
SDI or HDMI output (F) from the Bolt receiver to the video input on your monitor.
NOTE: If mounted upright on a stand above the monitor, use a right-angle SDI adapter to
relieve any strain caused by the weight of the cable, and to avoid damaging the SDI output’s
internal connectors.
2
Power the Bolt transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter, or if Bolt is equipped with a
battery plate accessory, connect a compatible battery (L series or LP-E6).
3
Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (J) to the ON position. Video appears
within a few seconds.
DEVICE OPERATION
• 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. Try to separate other wireless
transmitters and receivers as much as possible.

CUSTOM/THIRD PARTY CABLES
• Test the power cable polarity with ONLY the power cable connected to Bolt. Do not connect video cables.
• Check the power cable for shorts and proper grounding.
CAUTION:
Using a reverse polarity or improperly−constructed power cable can damage the
product and is not covered under warranty.

MOUNTING
Bolt has a 1/4”-20 threaded hole on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any
other mounting accessory.
• Mount the Bolt transmitter vertically, keeping the
antennas clear of any obstructions.
• Orient the transmitter and receiver antennas so
they are parallel to each other.
• For best results, orient the transmitter antennas
so each one has clear line−of−sight to the
receiver.
• DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
CAUTION:
SCREWS INSERTED INTO
THE TRANSMITTER’S 1/4”-20 THREADED
HOLE. Doing so can damage the transmitter’s
chassis and internal components, voiding the
warranty.
