TxRx – Auto-Sensing Transceiver. Selects Transmit or Receive automatically. Default Mode. Use for Auto-Relay (pg. 10).Tx Only – Transmit Only. Disables receive mode.Rx Only – Receive Only. Disables transmit and Auto-Relay modes.HSR – High Speed Receive / FAST MODE. Use with remote speedlights for fastest FPS (Frames Per Second). While set to HSR on Channel 17 or higher, disable all Zones to activate FAST MODE which may improve X-sync operation with some studio flashes.LR – Long Range (Auto-Sensing Transceiver). Doubles range, but may affect maximum flash sync shutter speed. Ideal for remote camera shutter release. Must be enabled on every radio. Compatible with Plus III and MultiMAX.RP – Repeater. Retransmits on the selected Channel for increased operating range but may affect maximum flash sync shutter speed. Place RP radio between trans- mitter and receiver. Multiple RP radios may be used, but make sure each repeating radio and receiver can only receive the signal from one other radio otherwise a repeating loop may occur. Not for use with LR mode.Press MODE to toggle through available modes12 | PocketWizard Plus IVMODES
