POWER CONNECTOR/PIN OUT

Bolt devices purchased as a set (TX and RX), are paired by default, requiring no 

additional configuration. Bolt devices purchased separately need to be paired using 

the device's front panel (OLED) menu, 

Bolt Manager

, or the 

Bolt App

.

Select Pairing to begin the pairing process. The transmitter will begin scanning for 

a receiver within range and automatically pair to the receiver.

Using the Menu Joystick (G), navigate to the Pairing menu on both the transmitter 

and the receiver.
