6. Advanced Functions

Reference:

• Refer to the receiver instruction manual for the receiver operating method.
• Maximum controllable distance of the radio flash trigger system differs depending on the

placement of the device, direction and other factors.
1.

Confirm the direct visible range between the transmitter and receiver.

2.

Place the meter and receiver away from large metal objects, concrete, objects with
large moisture content (both people and trees fall into the category) and so forth.

3.

Secure the radio receiver in place by using Velcro tape or mounting 1/4-20 thread.
Be sure that the entire length of the receiver antenna is higher than the flash pack at
this time. Avoid contact between the receiver antenna and metal objects at all times.

4.

Depending on the location, there may be cases when the receiver is incapable of
receiving any radio signals whatsoever.
There are various possible reasons for this such as radio signals reflected from nearby
objects. This can generally be resolved by shifting the device slightly in one direction
or another.
In addition, confirm that the device is not placed behind objects that readily absorb or
deflect radio signals such concrete, metal, low hills, etc.

NOTE:

• The Wireless flash triggering system may be used only in countries where a permit for the

control frequency has been issued by the government office in charge. There are several
kinds of frequencies in the world, and we recommend you check if your transmitter(s) and
receiver(s) are compatible each other.
