CONNECT AND POWER

Remove the protective MOD GUARD plate from the front of the Bolt DSMC2 by unscrewing
1
the four captive screws from the back (J).
2
Place Bolt firmly against the back of the DSMC2 camera.
3 Tighten the four captive screws in a cross pattern ("X" pattern) using a 2.5mm hex wrench. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN.
If using a DSMC2 Battery Module, place it firmly against the back of Bolt. Make sure the connector
4
in the front of the battery module aligns with the connector on the back of Bolt.
5 The Power status LED (E) will indicate power is present if a battery is connected to the DSMC2 Battery
Module or if power is provided via the DSMC2 camera. The camera will boot when the camera's power
button is pressed. While the camera is booting, Bolt will also boot.
NOTE: If the Power status LED is on, but the camera does not boot, remove Bolt then re-attach, making
sure it's properly seated. Always use an X pattern when tightening the M4 screws.
6 Move the power switch (I) to the ON position.
To remove Bolt, loosen the four captive screws and pull it off the back of the camera.

DEVICE OPERATION

P

GENERAL

• Keep the transmitter and the 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 Bolt. For best results, separate other
wireless transmitters and receivers as much as possible.
