Pairing and Unpairing
Updated onArticlesRanger 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.Wireless Video Ranger Micro and Mk II Configuration
