This PocketWizard radio runs on powerful software called ControlTL® (Control The Light™). It can be configured for your specific needs using the PocketWizard Utility which can be downloaded at: www.PocketWizard.com/support/downloads. Be sure ALL your PocketWizard ControlTL radios, including this one, are updated to the latest firmware for proper functionality.Power on any connected equipment from the top down: Flash, then radio, then camera.All equipment should be turned OFF when making connections or unwanted triggering may occur.

aPocketWizard recommends powering your Speedlights with high-capacity rechargeable batteries. If operation is not optimal, check Speedlight batteries first.Review product manuals for your camera and flash system. For most basic functions when using Nikon’s system or PocketWizard radios, operation is identical.You may use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in all scenarios. Make sure all PocketWizard radios are set to the same PocketWizard channel. PocketWizard channels are used instead of Nikon channels.

Basic Wireless i-TTL: MiniTT1 FlexTT5No ash on Camera1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera.2. Slide Speedlight onto remote FlexTT5 Transceiver. Set the Speedlight for standard i-TTL mode (not REMOTE or MASTER). Repeat for each remote Speedlight. All remote i-TTL Speedlights will be treated as one zone of light.3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally.This mode is like using the SU-800 in TTL Commander mode, or the SB-800 or SB-900 as MASTER in Advanced Wireless Lighting TTL Mode with master ash cancelled and remote group A selected as TTL with 0.0 FEC.Basic Wireless i-TTL: MiniTT1 FlexTT5Flash on Camera 1.

Enable remote groups/zones per ash instructions. Nikon SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander may also be used.3. Set remote FlexTT5 radio to desired Nikon remote group/zone (A, B, C) using FlexTT5 zone switch.4. Slide Speedlight onto remote FlexTT5 Transceiver. Set Speedlight for standard i-TTL mode (not REMOTE or MASTER). Repeat for each remote Speedlight. All remote i-TTL Speedlights on same FlexTT5 group/zone will be treated as one zone of light.5. Adjust ash output level compensation using MASTER Speedlight ash controls.6. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally.IMPORTANT: Nikon Speedlights set to REMOTE = ON and connected to remote FlexTT5 radios will not function properly as remotes. Turn off REMOTE or MASTER for your remote Speedlights. Set desired Nikon remote group/zone via remote FlexTT5 zone switch. PocketWizard channel is used instead of Nikon channel.ISO, aperture, ash exposure compensation (FEC), and other settings will work with exposurenormally via the PocketWizard ControlTL system.

If desired, slide Nikon i-TTL Speedlight onto MiniTT1 radio.3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally.Note: Manual remote ashes are not calculated as part of the i-TTL exposure. Adjust your exposure or FEC to compensate accordingly.Use PocketWizard Utility to engage HyperSync™ and explore faster than X-sync shutterspeeds.

aChannels can be set via PocketWizard Utility (recommended) or taught from any PocketWizard transmitter using Learn Mode. Learn Mode is not required for normal operation of the radios.IMPORTANT: Hold radios at least 2 feet apart when teaching/learning. 1. Turn MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 radio ON and select channel to be taught: C.1 or C.2.2. Press and hold TEST for several seconds until LED blinks amber, then release TEST.3. Quickly press and hold TEST on teaching transmitting radio (MiniTT1, FlexTT5, Plus II or MultiMAX). When LED blinks green, channel is learned. Connected ash may trigger during Learn. • 1 green blink = Low Standard channel learned (1 through 16, including Plus 1 through 4) • 2 green blinks = High Standard channel learned (MultiMAX 17 through 32) • 3 green blinks = ControlTL channel learned For remote i-TTL systems, teach MiniTT1 radio to be used as primary transmitter rst, then use it to teach all FlexTT5 units. MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios send out both ControlTL and Standard triggers every time they are triggered. For remote i-TTL to function, ControlTL channel must be learned. If you see only 1 or 2 green blinks, and you desire i-TTL, teach again with MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 radio. Look for 3 green blinks to verify ControlTL is learned. To teach all radios Standard channels, use Standard transmitter as teaching radio for all learning radios, including MiniTT1 radio to be used as primary transmitter. To avoid inadvertent ashing, turn OFF remote radios that have already been taught or have already had the channel set.Learn Mode
Auto-Relay ModeA FlexTT5 radio in camera’s shoe and connected with motor drive cord to P1 can receivea radio trigger and trigger the camera’s motor drive, which in turn triggers a remote ash.The channel used for relay transmit is 1 higher than receive channel, unless set viaPocketWizard Utility. Example: If you taught FlexTT5 radio Standard channel 2, then relay transmit occurs on Standard channel 3. Press TEST on hand-held trigger radio to begin relay sequence.For Auto-relay with remote i-TTL Speedlights triggered by the remote camera, an -ACC cable is required. For Auto-Relay with manual ashes, engage Basic Trigger Mode in the PocketWizard Utility - any PocketWizard motor drive cable can be used.Status LED Normal “waiting for trigger” operation = short blink every 2 seconds. Normal short blink color indicates Battery Level: Green Good battery Amber Warning – battery low Red Very low battery – change immediatelySteady red LED in sync with TEST indicates normal transmission.(Hold for 10 seconds to teach – see Learn mode) Short red blink in sync with trigger indicates normal reception.Rapid red blinking when not triggering or half-pressing camera indicates error condition.Power off the unit, reseat all connections, and power back on.Other Functions
aResetRESETRESET A / CHANNEL RESET:To reset learned channels to channels last set in Utility, hold TEST on power up. LED blinks green twice to indicate reset. Release TEST. Advanced features set via Utility are retained.RESET B / FACTORY DEFAULTS:To reset all advanced features and channels to FACTORY DEFAULTS, hold TEST on power up for longer than 10 seconds. When LED blinks green 4 times, release. • All settings may be congured using the PocketWizard Utility available from www.PocketWizard.com See the online extended documentation or the help text in the Utility for detailed descriptions of these settings.Factory defaultsChannelC.1 = ControlTL channel 1, Standard channel 1 C.2 = ControlTL channel 2, Standard channel 2Use ControlTL for Rx Channel = enabled (For FlexTT5 Only)ModelingNon-Speedlight Modeling Light Mode = Camera Wake Modeling Light Active Autotrack = enabled Modeling Light Active = 100% (inactive due to Autotrack setting) Modeling Light Sleep = 10% Modeling Light Delayed Sleep = enabledModeling Light Delay After Camera Sleeps = 30 secs.

Always use fresh batteries when working in the cold. • Basic Trigger Mode consumes the battery more quickly and is not recommended when using the MiniTT1 for Nikon on a Nikon camera.Maximum FPS: Up to 12 (varies with camera; i-TTL usage reduces FPS)Operating Temperature: Above -15º C (5º F) and below 50º C (120º F) for FlexTT5 Above -12º C (10º F) and below 50º C (120º F) for MiniTT1 • Low temperature affects coin cell performance. Always use fresh batteries in cold temperatures.Storage Temperature (without battery): Above -30º C (-22º F) and below 85º C (185º F)CompatibilityThis MiniTT1/FlexTT5 is compatible with most Nikon i-TTL compatible cameras and Speedlights. Visit PocketWizard.com for compatibility information specic to your cameras and Speedlights. Some features may not be available or may be implemented via rmware updates to your MiniTT1 and FlexTT5. i-TTL for DSLRs only (not for D-TTL or lm TTL).
