9Areas of Use and Restrictions The following actions may be punishable under law. Disassembling or modifying the transmitter, or removing the certification label on it. Do not use the transmitter near other devices that emit radio waves, such as medical equipment or electronic devices. The transmitter may interfere with operation of these devices. Use the transmitter only with a compatible EOS DIGITAL camera. Using it with incompatible cameras may cause malfunction, accidents, and other problems not covered under warranty. Use the transmitter as a wireless or wired LAN device as described in this instruction manual. If you use the transmitter for any other purpose, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or damage that may occur.
10The following precautions are intended to prevent harm to you and others as well as damage to equipment. Become familiar with the precautions before using the transmitter to ensure correct and safe operation.Be sure that you fully understand the safety precautions contained in the instruction manuals for the battery, charger, and AC Adapter Kit before using them. To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, or explosion, follow these safety guidelines.• Do not insert metallic objects between electrical contacts of the transmitter, accessories, or connecting cables. Do not use the transmitter where there is flammable gas. There is a risk of explosion or fire. If the transmitter is dropped and internal parts are exposed, do not touch the exposed parts. There is a risk of electrical shock. Do not disassemble or modify the transmitter. High-voltage internal parts may cause electrical shock. Do not store the transmitter in dusty or humid places. There is a risk of fire or electrical shock. Before using the transmitter on board airplanes or in hospitals, make sure use is permitted. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter may interfere with instrumentation or medical equipment. Do not leave the transmitter inside a vehicle in hot weather or near a heat source. The transmitter may become hot and cause burns if touched. Do not cover or wrap the transmitter with a cloth. This may trap heat inside, posing a risk of case deformation or fire. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the transmitter. This poses a risk of fire and may be hazardous to your health.If the product malfunctions, becomes damaged, or requires repair, contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Service Center. The transmitter is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to shock. The transmitter is not waterproof. Do not use it underwater. Wipe off any moisture with a clean, dry cloth. If the transmitter has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a clean damp cloth after wringing it out to remove excess water. Never leave the transmitter near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as magnets or electric motors. Do not leave the transmitter in excessive heat, such as in a vehicle in direct sunlight. High temperature may damage the transmitter. Do not wipe the transmitter using cleaners containing organic solvents. If the transmitter becomes difficult to clean, take it to the nearest Canon Service Center. To avoid corrosion, do not store the transmitter where there are strong chemicals, such as in darkrooms or chemical labs.Safety WarningsWarning Preventing Serious Injury or DeathCaution Preventing Injury or Equipment DamageHandling Precautions

20The connection instructions help you follow the steps to connect the transmitter to an existing wireless or wired LAN. To connect to a wireless LAN, prepare the wireless LAN terminal (wireless LAN access point or wireless LAN adapter) and computer in advance so that they are ready for you to connect the transmitter to the wireless network. When configuring the basic network settings, bring the transmitter within 3 m / 9.8 ft. of the wireless LAN terminal.To connect to a wired LAN, use a LAN cable to connect the transmitter and computer. Set the transmitter for connection to the wired network.Wireless Transmission of MovieIndividual movie files are large, and wireless file transmission takes some time. When setting up an environment for stable transmission to the wireless LAN terminal, refer to the information on page 114. Set up a DLNA*-compatible television, digital photo frame, or similar media player so that it is ready for use after the transmitter is connected to its network.* DLNA: Digital Living Network AllianceSet up two or more EOS 7D cameras with attached transmitters.Getting Ready[FTP trans.], [EOSUtility], [WFTserver][MediaServ.][LinkedShot]

23Selecting the Communication Method and LAN Type• WFTserverChoose this option for remote capture over a wireless or wired LAN with the transmitter acting as a server.Additionally, images on a CF card in the camera can be viewed and downloaded to a computer.The camera can be accessed like browsing a webpage, by users at up to three computers.Computer Operating SystemsAny computer with a web browser can be used, regardless of the operating system.Even devices other than computers can be used, if they feature a web browser. However, if the web browser does not support JavaScript, WFT Server functions will be limited. Also note that devices with limited performance may display images more slowly, and downloading images to these devices may not be possible.• MediaServ.Choose this option to view images on a CF card in the camera over a wireless or wired LAN on a television.This function requires a DLNA-compatible television, digital photo frame, or similar media player.• LinkedShotChoose this option for linked shooting with multiple EOS 7D cameras attached with transmitters. Up to 10 slave cameras can be linked to the master camera on which you will release the shutter. Note that there will be a slight delay after you release the master camera shutter before the slave cameras shoot. Movie shooting is not supported.For further instructions on [LinkedShot], refer to page 69 of this manual.

27This is a connection mode when using a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). Pushbutton Connection mode (PBC mode) makes it easy to establish a connection between the camera and the wireless LAN terminal by pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal. Note that if multiple wireless LAN terminals are active in your area, it may be harder to establish a connection. In this case, try using [WPS (PIN mode)] to establish a connection. Confirm the position of the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal in advance. It may take about one minute to establish connection. Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN terminal. Deactivate stealth functions.1Select [WPS (PBC mode)]. Turn the <5> dial to select [WPS (PBC mode)], and then press <0>. Select [OK] and press <0> to go to the next screen. 2Establish a connection with the wireless LAN terminal. Press the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal. For details about where the button is located and how long to press it, refer to the instruction manual of the wireless LAN terminal. Select [OK] and press <0> to establish a connection with the wireless LAN terminal. When the connection with the wireless LAN terminal is established, the [Network] screen (p.29) is displayed.

28This is a connection mode when using a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). In PIN code connection mode (PIN mode), an 8-digit identification number specified on the camera is set on the wireless LAN terminal to establish a connection. Even if there are multiple wireless LAN terminals active in your area, this is a relatively reliable method of establishing a connection using a shared identification number. It may take about one minute to establish connection. Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN terminal.
