Power and Connect
Updated onArticles- Attach the Ranger transmitter to your camera. If your Ranger (Mk II) TX is equipped with battery plates, attach the unit to the back of your camera.
- Connect power to the Ranger transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter, or if both devices are equipped with battery plate accessories, attach a compatible battery (Gold or V mount).
