Frequently Asked Questions

Pairing is done via infrared – simply bring the transmitter close to the receiver. It's a very reliable system, but line-of-sight is required during the initial setup.
G51 is generally license-free, but regulations vary by location; always check local broadcasting authority guidelines.
Standard AA batteries work, but the SB900 lithium-ion pack offers longer runtime and convenience, and is a worthwhile investment for frequent use.
