Pairing and Unpairing
Updated onArticlesBolt 4K devices purchased as a set (TX and RX) are paired by default, requiring no additional configuration. Bolt 4K devices purchased separately need to be paired using the device's front panel (OLED) menu, Bolt Manager, or the Bolt App. You will need to use either Bolt Manager or the Bolt 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.

WARNING
Bolt 4K devices contain sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling, care must be taken so that the device is not damaged. Damage due to inappropriate handling is not covered by the warranty. For complete warranty information, please see the warranty card that arrived with the device, or visit www.teradek.com/pages/warranty-information.USING THE AC POWER ADAPTOR
- All components must be dry before connecting to an external power source
- Use ONLY a UL/IEC 62368 or UL/IEC 60950-1 2nd revision approved AC/DC power adapter class LPS with an electrical output rating range of 6-28 V DC, 3A, with an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 40°C.
- Use of an alternative AC/DC power adapter will invalidate any approvals given to this unit and may be dangerous.
BATTERY
This device is not supplied with batteries. In case a battery is used, please adhere to the following general battery usage guidelines:- Use batteries with the rated voltage and current characteristics as listed in the manual.
- Use IEC 62133-approved lithium batteries such as the Anton Bauer Digital Battery (Dionic XT 150/Dionic XT 90).
- Verify battery temperature is within the range specified.
- Do not use incompatible/incorrect batteries. Use of an incompatible battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.
- Severe impact from dropping any battery-operated device on a hard surface could cause the battery to overheat.
RF MODULES

Bolt 4K U-NII-5 (6GHz) support by region
Updated onArticlesBolt 4K radios are calibrated and tested to support operation in the U-NII-5 (5.925–6.425GHz) frequencies. Although the product and its internal radios support these additional frequencies vs. previous Bolt products, regulatory restrictions mean that U-NII-5 operation is allowed only in the regions where it has been cleared for use. As different regions approve U-NII-5 for unlicensed operation, Teradek will release firmware updates to enable the additional frequencies. Note that we sometimes refer to U-NII-5 frequencies as “6GHz” to make it simpler to understand Bolt 4K (5GHz only) vs. Bolt 4K operation (5GHz and 6GHz).

Power and Connect (Bolt 4K/Bolt 4K LT)
Updated onArticles- Connect power to the Bolt 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).
- Connect the output from your video source to either the SDI or HDMI input (C or E) on the Bolt transmitter. Connect either the SDI or HDMI output (D or L) from the Bolt receiver to the video input on your monitor. NOTE: If mounting the receiver upright on a stand above the monitor, use a right-angle SDI adapter to relieve any strain caused by the weight of the cable, and to avoid damaging the SDI output’s internal connectors.
- Attach the antennas to both the transmitter and the receiver.
If using Horizontally Polarized “H” antennas:
• Bolt 4K transmitters - Attach two 2dBi antennas to the transmitter’s two center connectors and the two “H” antennas to the left and right connectors.
• Bolt 4K LT transmitters - Attach one "H" antenna on the connector labeled H(closest to the SDI connectors), and one 2dBi antenna to the opposite connector
• Bolt 4K/Bolt 4K LT receivers - Attach the three 2dBi antennas to the receiver’s center connectors and the two “H” antennas to the left and right connectors.
If using a Bolt Panel Antenna with the receiver (1500 or MAX only): Mount the receiver to the back of the antenna, then connect the five RP-SMA connectors to the center connectors labeled V using the included extension cables. If the transmitter is using horizontal antennas, attach the receiver’s two outward connectors to the antenna’s two external connectors labeled H (see MOUNTING). NOTE: Ensure that the 2dBi omnidirectional antenna (A) is attached at all times to the Panel Antenna when in use. - Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver (J) to the ON position. Video appears within a few seconds.
