RadioPopper PX - Manual (Page 10)

Installation: RadioPopper PX Transmitter
1) Remove the battery compartment door on the top side of the unit.
2) Remove the cover and insert two (2) AAA size batteries into the battery holder. It is very important to follow the
polarity direction indicated on the inner sticker to ensure unit operation and avoid possible transmitter damage.
3) Replace the battery compartment door. Once batteries are inserted, the battery door should fit snug.
4) Select the approximate mounting location on top of your Master Flash or IR Commander (supplied by your camera
manufacturer). Ensure this area is clean.
5) Attach the Velcro pieces together. Remove both backing sheets and affix the joined Velcro strips first to the under
side center of the PX Transmitter unit. We recommend placing the “rough” hook side of the Velcro against the transmit-
ter, and the soft side of the Velcro against your flash or IR commander.
6) Hold the PX Transmitter with Velcro attached over the approximate mounting location on the intended Master flash
unit. Compare location to the picture in Fig 2.1 on page 13. 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 PX Transmitter.
7) 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
ensure maximum long term adhesion.
8) Install the supplied antenna (the straight one) by screwing it onto the antenna connector on the face of the PX
Transmitter.
WARNING: Do not power up the PX Transmitter without the antenna installed - doing so could damage the output
stage of the radio transmitter.
WARNING: Use only the supplied antenna on the PX Transmitter. Using any other antenna is a violation of Federal
Law, and may actually cause damage to the output stage of the radio transmitter.
9) When mounting the PX 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 PX Transmitter. This tends to “set” the Velcro pads together.
