•Check the power cable for shorts / proper grounding.
• DO NOT connect video when testing custom cables. Improper cable polarity and/or construction
may cause damage to Bolt if video is connected.
• For best results, allow 60 seconds after powering up the Transmitter and Receiver for them to select
the best frequency.
•For better signal quality over longer distances, maintain line−of−sight between the Transmitter
and Receiver.
• Mount the Bolt Transmitter vertically.
• Mount the Bolt Receiver vertically with the face oriented towards the Transmitter.
• Keep the antennas on the Bolt Transmitter and Receiver clear of obstructions.
• Velcro is not recommended for mounting either Transmitter or Receiver.
