- Insert or attach a Sony NP-F970 battery to the controller, then press the REC/PWR (C) button to turn it on.
- Mount the receiver (MDR.S or MDR.X) to your camera and connect power to the receiver's power input.
- Attach the motors (MOTR.X or MOTR.S) to the camera rods and/or lens.
- Rotate the lens ring so it’s not too close to either end stop, then mesh the motor’s drive gear with the lens ring gear.
- Connect the motors to any available motor port on the receiver using a 4-pin connector. If connecting two or more motors, use a 4-pin to 4-pin connector to combine (daisy-chain) them. The motors will begin calibrating. NOTE: Power input must not exceed 17V for MOTR.X and 32V for MOTR.S. If you see evidence of backlash affecting accuracy, make sure that your mount, rails, and camera are extremely rigid, as mounting flex is the main cause of inaccuracy.
- Use a pairing method that applies to your controller to pair with the receiver (see Pairing).
