Compliance Statements (for North American devices) Information to the user (FCCPart 15.105) Class B product: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : 1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage; 2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Mounting and Connecting Walker to your Camera The included L-Bracket is a universal 38mm mounting bracket. Use the shorter included D-bolt to mount the L-Bracket to your camera as pictured. The Walker has a corresponding dovetail slot to slide onto the mount, either to the left of the camera or underneath.
4) Secure the L-Bracket to your camera body so that the L-Bracket’s vertical side safely covers and protects the USB port of the Camera. Bottom/Right side mount Bottom/Right side mount is usually only used for shooting with the camera in portrait orientation, on a tripod when this can't be done using a Left side mount. We'll start by setting up with the camera sitting normally on the table, and then you can turn it 90 degrees for portrait orientation when you attach it to the Tripod.
3) Slide the Walker onto the longer side of the L-Bracket from the right of camera so that the blue face is facing the back of the camera and the indicator lights are visible to you while shooting. 4) Finger tighten the Position Locking Bolt so that the Walker can’t slide off the mount by accident. 5) Take the loose end of the USB cord you already plugged in, (it will be a 2.5mm headphone jack) and plug it in to the Walker, pushing firmly.
Mounting to Tripod. You can now mount the camera to your tripod using any compatible universal quick release or directly using the 1/4" threads on the L-Bracket. Bottom/Right side mount is usually only used for shooting with the camera in portrait orientation, on a tripod when this can't be done using a Left side mount. We'll start by setting up with the camera sitting normally on the table, and then you can turn it 90 degrees for portrait orientation when you attach it to the Tripod.
Our devices are compatible with Fast Charging. Using a fast charger, a Walker would charge to 50% in 30-40 minutes and 100% in around 90 minutes. Using a standard charger approximately doubles these times. If the device battery was completely depleted on last use or the device was left off charge for an extended period, battery protection will have kicked in and you will need to charge the device to 100% before it will turn on again.
Powering on, powering off + rebooting a Walker Powering On Press and HOLD the Power button for approximately three seconds (black button located on the blue face of your Walker... the only button on the entire Walker), then watch the four status lights next to the power button, as it boots... Powering Off Press and HOLD the Power button for approximately three seconds until most of the status lights turn off. The green Power light will stay on for a short time while it completes power-down procedures.
Hard Reset If all else fails and you can't shut down your Walker, insert a paperclip into the reset pin hole on the device to push the internal button. The power will cut out immediately. Then you can follow normal power-on procedures. Important Camera Settings Memory Card You must have a memory card in your camera.
card is slow, it will take longer for the Walker to download the images off your camera and will slow down the entire system. WiFi off If your camera has WiFi, please turn it off so that it does not interfere with other signals. Auto Power off / Standby Timer Must be set to greater than 10 minutes so that the Walker can always communicate with the camera. If the camera goes to sleep it may cause images to not be uploaded.
We recommend using the smallest practical file size in order to save time uploading and to keep your data costs down. Canon 5Dmk3 Image Resolution File Size (approx) Prints to (@250dpi) S1 Small JPEG 2880x1920 (5.5 MP) 1.5MB 11.5"x7.5" Approx A4 Medium JPEG 3840x2560 (9.
Status Lights on Walker Power (Green) The green Power LED will light up to show that the Walker is powered on. This should happen immediately upon pressing the power button, but it will be up to 30 seconds before other status lights begin indicating. Camera (Orange) The orange Camera LED will keep flashing until the camera is BOTH plugged in and powered on. Reader (Blue) The blue Reader LED won’t turn on until you try to pair the Reader.
A flashing light means If the light is flashing, it means it is trying to connect. Usually you just need to give it a minute before it will go solid. No light means If a status light is not turning on at all, it means it isn't trying to do anything (for example the blue Reader light will not turn on until it is told to try and pair with a Reader). You might need to do an action or change a configuration in the Console to make it do things.
Reader Screen & Control Basics 1) IDs - Shows number of IDs scanned in this session. 2) Battery - Battery indicators for the Walker and Reader. 3) Sync - Shows the number of full-size images in the queue to upload. If there are no images waiting, it will display a tick. 4) Right-hand button – if held enters ‘Continuous Scan Mode’ 5) Reset pin slot - If required, insert a paperclip here to hard-reset the Reader.
If the normal orientation of the Reader screen doesn’t fit with your workflow, you can change the Walker’s settings to invert the screen of the paired Reader via the ELEMENTICE Console. Using the Barcode/QR Code Scanner Once the Reader is connected and displaying the standard screen, pressing the centre (blue) Reader button will activate the barcode scanner. A red dot and square will be projected from the end of the Reader. Point that red dot at the barcode or QR code that you wish to scan.
Show Scan Success Sometimes a beep and buzz just aren't enough, if you'd also like a big tick to display on the Reader screen upon successful scan... This can be configured via the ELEMENTICE Console.
