Installation: RadioPopper P1 Transmitter
1) Remove the two phillips screws in the under side of the P1 Transmitter unit.
2) Remove the cover and insert one (1) AA size battery into the battery holder. It is very important to follow the
polarity direction indicated on the circuit board to ensure unit operation and avoid possible transmitter damage.
3) About three seconds after inserting the AA battery the Power light will blink briey indicating proper battery
placement and that the unit is functioning correctly.
4) Replace the rear cover and screws, taking care not to over-tighten or strip the screw sockets.
5) Select the approximate mounting location on top of your Master Flash or IR Commander (supplied by your camera
manufacturer). Ensure this area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of
the P1 Transmitter unit.
6) Attach theVelcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and ax the joinedVelcro strips rst to the
under side center of the P1Transmitter unit. We recommend placing the“rough”hook side of the Velcro against the
transmitter, and the soft side of the Velcro against your ash or IR commander.
7) Hold the P1 Transmitter with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Master
ash unit. Compare location to the picture in Fig 2.1. Press down rmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly
bond the Velcro strip adhesive to both the Master ash unit and the under side of the P1Transmitter.
8) Do not pull the Velcro apart for several hours. The adhesive on the Velcro will set to full strength in 20 to 30 hours.
Care should be taken during this time to avoid upsetting the bond being formed between theVelcro and plastic to
ensure maximum long term adhesion.
9) Install the supplied antenna (the straight one) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the face of the P1
Transmitter.
WARNING: Do not power up the P1 Transmitter without the antenna installed - doing so could damage the output
stage of the radio transmitter.
WARNING: Use only the supplied antenna on the P1 Transmitter. Using any other antenna is a violation of Federal
Law, and may actually cause damage to the output stage of the radio transmitter.
10) When mounting the P1Transmitter in the future by pressing the Velcro pads together - a greater bond may be
achieved between theVelcro hook and latch sides by pressing rmly, then applying a slight rotational force between
the Master ash unit and the P1Transmitter. This tends to“set”the Velcro pads together.
11) IMPORTANT! Be sure to adjust the Sync Interval if required. If you observe a signicant number of mis-res,
adjusting the Sync Interval will likely solve the problem. See“Detailed Operating Instructions”Pg. 17, and the section
“Adjusting the Sync Interval”Pg. 20 for detailed information and an explanation of the Sync Interval.
Installation: RadioPopper P1 Receiver
NOTE: When rst bending the supplied ber optic tube, you will likely hear and feel a bit of a“cracking”inside the
optic. This is perfectly normal and is the result of the 48 bers inside the optic moving against each other and breaking
free of the inside of the outer coating. The bers are not actually cracking - they are quite exible and will not break or
crack when bending.
1) Remove rear cover and insert battery, observing for a brief blinking of the Green Power LED, just as you did with the
P1 Transmitter. Replace the rear cover being careful not to over-tighten or strip the screw sockets.
2) Insert the supplied optic tube into the opening on the side of the P1 Receiver. Care should be taken to do this
gently. It may help to twist the tube side to side while inserting. Once inserted through the outer plastic enclosure,
the optic should insert an additional half inch or so into the holder.
3) Select a mounting location along the side of the body of your slave ash. The optic may be routed directly, around
the back side, or downward wrapped under the body just forward of the hot-shoe. See the graphics in Fig 2-2 through
Fig 2-5 and place the white bead attached to the end of the optic tube as indicated for your model of slave ash.
NOTE: You may trim the optic if needed. Trim from the end that inserts into the P1 Receiver, and use a sharp blade
or razor to cut directly through the optic and internal bers. It is not recommended to use clippers or scissors as these
may leave a burr on the outside of the optic making insertion into the P1 Receiver dicult. You may need to carefully
trim away any incidental burr before you are able to cleanly insert the optic in the P1 Receiver.
4) Ensure the mounting area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of the
P1 Receiver unit.
5) Attach theVelcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and ax the joinedVelcro strips rst to the under
side center of the P1 Receiver unit.
6) Hold the P1 Receiver withVelcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Slave ash unit.
Press down rmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly bond theVelcro strip adhesive to both the Slave ash
unit and the under side of the P1 Receiver.
7) Allow the adhesive on theVelcro pads to set for 20 to 30 hours before placing signicant strain on them, just as you
did with the Transmitter mounting.
8) Install the supplied antenna (the one with the 90 degree bend) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the
face of the P1 Receiver.
9) Place the white nylon bead at the end of the optic tube over the infrared sensor on your slave ash as indicated by
the graphics in Fig 2-2 through Fig 2-5 for your Slave ash model.
