Battery
The Rattlesnake Wireless Follow Focus Controller runs on one 18650 lithium
ion battery. LiCB rechargeable batteries and batteries with a higher capacity
are recommended. As the Controller functions as a charger, an external battery
charger is not required. To charge the battery, connect the Rattlesnake Controller
to a power source via the USB cable provided in the kit. With the vibration setting
turned off, one fully charged battery will power the unit for up to 3 days.
Synchronization

on, press and hold the CODE button on the motor for 3 seconds until it turns green.
Then, hold (SET) + (POWER) on the controller for 3 seconds. The motor light will
stop blinking, and the gear will shudder. This means that the controller and motor
have been successfully synchronized. (Note: This process is usually done before
leaving the factory.)

your point is now set. Repeat with (B) (C) and (D) for multiple points. Press the

Controller
The controls have been designed for ease of use: They allow for preset
memory points, where you can save up to four, as well as two lock points
that will cause the controller to vibrate as you approach them. Choose from 16
different speed levels to control the transition speed of the presets, and 4 different
damping levels from ultraresponsive to ultra smooth. The controller has an accuracy
circuit built into it to ensure the lens stop precisely where you want it to, even after
repeated use.
