Troubleshooting

If wireless remote controllers fail to function as expected, check the

list of common problems below before consulting your retailer or

Nikon representative.

The unit does not turn on (no indicators appear in the display):

If the unit is not connected to a camera, conﬁ rm that the batteries are

inserted in the correct orientation (0 4). If the problem persists, replace

the batteries with fresh batteries or with fully charged rechargeable bat-

teries.

If the unit is connected to a camera, conﬁ rm that the cable is correctly

connected and that the camera is on (0 6).

The camera does not respond to the transmitter shutter-release button:

Conﬁ rm that the receiver is on the same channel and in the same group

as the transmitter (0 8, 10).

If PAIRING is selected for LINK MODE, select PAIRING > LIST and conﬁ rm

that the transmitter is listed, indicating that the transmitter and receiver

are paired. If the transmitter is not listed, pair the devices as described

on page 9.

If ID (supported with WR-1 units only) is selected for LINK MODE, con-

ﬁ rm that all units have the same name (0 23).

Conﬁ rm that the receiver is connected to the camera (0 6).

The shutter can not be released. Check the camera.

The unit beeps twice and the camera shutter is not released:

The shutter can not be released. Check the camera.

Check that the receivers do not share the same body number.

NOT DETECTED: No paired or linked units in the selected group can be de-

tected on the selected channel.

NO RESPONSE: Reattempt pairing after placing the units closer together and

conﬁ rming that they are on the same channel (0 8, 9).

#00 IS DUPLICATED: The current unit ID (body number) is shared by other

receivers with the same name. Select a unique unit ID (0 23).

Precautions for Use

Controllers must be securely attached to the camera to prevent

camera malfunction. Remove units that are not in use; carrying a

camera in a bag or by the strap with a WR-1 attached risks damage

to the camera or the WR-1 in the event that the camera is exposed

to strong physical shocks or vibration.

Transmitter and camera shutter-release buttons can not be used

when cameras other than the D7100 are in remote control (ML-L3)

release mode.

Compatibility

Wireless remote controllers can not be used with D1-series cameras or

the MB-D100. They can be used with the F100, D2X, D2Xs, D2Hs, and

D200, but the shutter can not be released with the F100 in self-timer

mode, while the D2X, D2Xs, D2Hs, and D200 will temporarily display

O if the exposure meters are activated after the unit is attached.
