through the flash’s Wireless Control Port.
Slide the battery compartment cover of the transmitter and insert the batteries as shown in the
illustration.
Note：

as low battery power leads to no flash or flash missing in case of long distance.
Power Switch
Turn the transmitter on by sliding the ON/OFF Switch to ON. The LCD display will then light up.
Note:
Turn the transmitter off to save power if it will not be used for an extended period.
Power-Ratio Display Mode
The trigger set has two modes to display a flash’s power ratio.

→ Check if the trigger set is securely seated into the camera’s hot shoe.
2. Signal disturbance or shooting interference.
→ Change a different channel on the trigger set.
3. Short workable distance or flash missing.
→ Check if batteries are exhausted. If so, replace with new batteries.
Maintenance
1. Avoid sudden drops. The device may malfunction after strong shocks or impacts.
2. Keep dry. The device is not water-proof. Malfunction, rust, and corrosion may occur and the device
may go beyond repair if immersed in water or expose to high humidity.
3. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Condensation may happen if the ambient temperature
changes suddenly, for example, in a case when the trigger set is taken out of a build with a high
temperature to outside in winter. Please put the trigger set in a handbag or plastic bag beforehand.
4. Keep away from strong magnetic field. The strong static or magnetic field produced by devices
such as ratio transmitters leads to malfunction.
