5x RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA Male 4in/10cm Cable TERADEK BOLT PANEL ANTENNA V.4 The Bolt Panel Antenna v.4 is your go-to solution for cutting through wireless interference in crowded environments. When attached to a Bolt 4K receiver, the antenna provides an extremely robust, directional signal that will ensure your transmission arrives uninterrupted. The Bolt Panel Antenna offers a more resilient wireless transmission, especially in challenging RF conditions, by focusing the signal and reducing interference. As a result, you may achieve a boost in the reception range but it will not be above the maximum range. 1x 2dBi Omnidirectional Antenna 2

POWER AND CONNECT Attach antennas to the transmitter. Mount the receiver to the back of the Panel Antenna. 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 instead (see images below). Connect power to both the transmitter and receiver with the included A/C adapter or optional battery plate accessory. If using a battery plate, connect a compatible (AB Gold mount or V-Lock) battery. Move the power switches on both the transmitter and receiver to the ON position. Video appears within a few seconds. V configuration H + V configuration 1 3 2 4 6 5 3

The Bolt Panel Antenna has a built-in directional antenna with a receive pattern that varies based on its distance from the transmitter. The horizontal receive angle measures 55° at 5,000 ft (1.5 km), 104° at 4,000 ft (1.25 km), and is effectively omni directional at up to 500 ft (150 m). The vertical receive angle measures 20° at any distance. 500 ft (150 m) ~ 360° 5,000 ft (1.5 km) ~ 55° 4,000 ft (1.25 km) ~ 104° 20° 4

each other. The Bolt Panel Antenna has three 3/8” threaded holes: One on the bottom for mounting the included light stand adapter or any 3/8” mounting accessory, and one on each side to mount to a yoke mount bracket assembly. MOUNTING • Mount the Panel Antenna vertically, keeping it clear of any obstructions. • For best results, orient the Panel Antenna so the front (with the Teradek logo) has a clear line−of−sight to the transmitter. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS INSERTED INTO THE RECEIVER’S 3/8” THREADED HOLES. Doing so can damage the receiver’s chassis, voiding the warranty. CAUTION: 5
