Installation: RadioPopper P1 Transmitter
1)
Remove the two phillips screws in the under side of the P1 Transmitter unit. Use the supplied finger sized phillips
screw driver.
2)
Remove the cover and insert one (1) AA size battery into the battery holder. It is very important to follow the
polarity direction indicated on the circuit board to insure unit operation and avoid possible transmitter damage.
3)
Approximately three seconds after inserting the AA battery the Power light will blink briefly indicating proper
battery placement and that the unit is functioning correctly.
4)
Replace the rear cover and screws, taking care not to over-tighten or strip the screw sockets.
5)
Select the approximate mounting location on top of your master flash or IR commander (supplied by your camera
manufacturer). Insure this area is clean. Use the included alcohol swab to clean this area, as well as the under side of
the P1 Transmitter unit.
6)
Attach the Velcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and affix the joined Velcro strips first to the under
side center of the P1 Transmitter unit.
7)
Hold the P1 Transmitter with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Master flash
unit. Compare location to the pictures in
Fig 2.1
. Press down firmly and hold pressure for thirty seconds to tightly
bond the Velcro strip adhesive to both the Master flash unit and the under side of the P1 Transmitter.
8)
Do not pull the Velcro apart for several hours. The adhesive on the Velcro will set to full strength in 20 to 30 hours.
Care should be taken during this time to avoid upsetting the bond being formed between the Velcro and plastic to
insure maximum long term adhesion.
9)
Install the supplied antenna by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the face of the P1 Transmitter.
WARNING:
Do not power up the P1 Transmitter without the antenna installed - doing so could damage the output
stage of the radio transmitter.
WARNING:
Use only the supplied antenna on the P1 Transmitter. Using any other antenna is a violation of Federal
Law, and may actually cause damage to the output stage of the radio transmitter.
10)
When mounting the P1 Transmitter in the future by pressing the Velcro pads together - a greater bond may be
achieved between the Velcro hook and latch sides by pressing firmly, then applying a slight rotational force between
the Master flash unit and the P1 Transmitter. This tends to “set” the Velcro pads together.
11)
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to adjust the Sync Interval if required. An incorrect Sync Interval setting will cause lots of
mis-fires. See “Detailed Operating Instructions” Pg. 17, and the section “Adjusting the Sync Interval” Pg. 20 for detailed
information and an explanation of the Sync Interval.
