� ATTENTION!
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE USE OF THE RADIO TRANSMISSION IS SUBJECT TO
GEOGRAPHICAL RESTRICTIONS AND MUST BE NOTIFIED BY THE BUYER AT
THE RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY FOR COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENTS OF
THE RESPECTIVE COUNTRY.
Bullard offers the MobileLink handheld receiver as a field-use accessory to
receive transmitted thermal imaging video from the Bullard Wireless Remote
Video Transmitter (sold separately). Used together, these products enable Incident
Commanders the opportunity to monitor up to four different thermal imagers
being used at the same location by toggling between signals (depending on the
transmitter system installed). The mobility of the MobileLink is unique in that
the user can monitor the scene from various strategic locations, without being
grounded at one particular place. The MobileLink is compatible with all Bullard
transmitter and thermal imager models.
Setting Up the MobileLink
The MobileLink (Figure 1) operates with one 10V NiMH battery (Figure
2) , the same battery that powers the Bullard T3 and T4 series and TACSIGHT
Thermal Imagers. When replacing the battery, it must be inserted so that
the lettering on the label is upright and facing the unit. Slide the top of the
battery into the allotted slot, and then press the bottom of the battery until
the unit snaps into place. For battery removal, simply pull down the handle
underneath the battery and pull out the battery. Nominal continuous operating
time for a fully charged battery is 2 hours. Use the standard charger or the
spare battery charger on the Powerhouse charging system (sold separately)
to charge the battery.
Changing Channels
To change channels, turn the channel selector on the top of the unit corresponding
to the channel on the transmitting thermal imager you wish to receive (Figure
3) . The image from that thermal imager will appear. For a two channel receiver,
turn the channel selector to either A or B.
Connecting a Recording Device
Next to the channel selector, the MobileLink has a BNC connector as a video
output source. For convenience, Bullard has supplied a BNC to RCA adapter in
order to record using a standard RCA video component.
Connecting the Antenna
A “rubber duck” antenna is shipped with the MobileLink. Other types of antennas
with a TNC connector may be used, such as external omni directional and
directional antennas (50 Ohms impedance). For best performance, ensure that the
antenna is connected.
Signal quality may vary considerably depending upon location. Composition and
construction of interior walls and barriers will affect range. Likewise, outdoor
operation could be affected by large metallic objects, structures, fences, and
dense foliage. Repositioning of both transmitter and MobileLink may be necessary
to optimize performance. Do not expose receiver equipment to water.
Warranty
Bullard warrants to the original purchaser that the handheld receiver is free
of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for
a period of 24 months from date of purchase. Bullard’s obligation under this
warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at Bullard’s option, articles that

c. A Return Authorization (R.A.) must be obtained from Bullard Customer Service

In no event shall Bullard be responsible for damages, loss of use, or other
indirect, incidental, consequential or special costs, expenses, or damages
incurred by the purchaser, notwithstanding that Bullard has been advised of
the possibility of such damages.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
