Pairing and Unpairing

Updated on

Ranger devices purchased as a set (TX and RX) are paired by default, requiring no additional configuration. Ranger devices purchased separately need to be paired using the device's front panel (OLED) menu, Launchpad, or the Ranger App. You will need to use either Launchpad or the Ranger App to pair your transmitter with multiple receivers.
NOTE: Before starting either pairing process, ensure that both the transmitter and receiver have the same firmware version and have Bluetooth enabled.

Pairing/Unpairing via the Front Panel

TO PAIR: 

  1. Using the Menu Joystick, navigate to the Pair menu on both the transmitter and the receiver.
  2. Select Pair to begin the pairing process. The transmitter will begin scanning for a receiver within range and automatically pair to the receiver.
  3. Once paired, the front panel will indicate whether or not Pairing is successful.

TO UNPAIR: 

  1. Navigate to the Unpair menu on either the transmitter and the receiver.
  2. Select the transmitter/receiver you want to unpair. If you have multiple devices paired, you can select Unpair All.

PAIRING TIPS

If you’re having trouble getting units to pair, we recommend keeping the transmitter and receiver six feet apart when pairing (if antennas are connected). Without antennas, they can be closer. Keep all other RF devices nearby turned off or out of range to ensure the transmitter and receiver are only detecting each other. To eliminate any chance of interference, perform the Wired Pairing process via Launchpad.

Pairing/Unpairing via the Ranger App

TO PAIR:

  1. Open the Ranger App from your iOS or Android device, then tap the Pairing button.
  2. Select the transmitter you wish to pair, then tap the Next button.
  3. Select the receiver(s) you wish to pair with the transmitter, then tap the Pair! button. The Ranger App will indicate when the pairing process is complete.

TO UNPAIR:

  1. Open the Ranger App from your iOS or Android device, then tap the settings button (3 dots) on the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Enter the Pairing menu, select the receiver(s) you wish to unpair, then tap the Unpair button.

Wired Pairing via Launchpad

TO PAIR:

  1. Connect both the transmitter and receiver(s) to your computer (Windows/Mac) via USB.
  2. Open Launchpad, click the Pairing tab, then tap the Wired Pairing button.
  3. Select the devices you want to pair, then click the Pair Devices button. Launchpad will indicate whether or not pairing is successful.

TO UNPAIR:

  1. Connect both the transmitter and receiver(s) to your computer (Windows/Mac) via USB.
  2. Open Launchpad, select the Pairing tab, then tap the Unpair All button.

Switch TX (RX only)

Ranger receivers can pair up to four transmitters simultaneously. Switch TX allows you to quickly switch from one paired transmitter's camera feed to another paired transmitter. This feature is especially useful in multi-camera situations when you need to switch to a different camera's view mid-shoot, without having to perform the pairing process every time. The Switch TX feature can be found in the main menu. NOTE: The transmitter(s) need to first be paired with the receiver.
