Purchase corresponding PC flash sync cord according to the different ports of the flashes needs .1. Use an end of PC sync cord with nut to connect to the receiver. 2. The other end of the PC sync cord connects to strobe flashes or other flashes which supporting PC port.3. Set the camera's shutter sync as 1st curtain or 2nd curtain.4. Adjust shooting parameters and shoot.* Super sync: Use the non-high speed sync flash to realize higher sync speed, this function is more applicable to strobe flashes whose flash duration is longer. (PC port output only)1. Connect the receiver to flash via PC port and it may needs setting at manual full-power flash output (1/1).2 . Use manual exposure or shutter-priority mode, set the shutter sync as hi-speed sync, the maximum shutter sync speeds can reach to 1/8000s. Take photos and check whether the photos are synchronous , it may see gradations or variations in the photos, results depend on the camera and flash.※ The PC port is for output using only. ※ Flashes on the hot shoe and connecting to the PC port can be used at the same time.※ For type C camera, the max PC sync speed is 1/250s or less.PC Port Triggering (Support Super Sync *)23Caution! Do not connect to the PC port any flash requiring trigger voltage more than 300V, or the transceiver may be damaged.
AF Assist Beam EmitterWhen using AF under low-light, the built-in AF-assist beam emitter of the transmitter will be emitted automatically to make it easier to autofocus, and the flash on the transmitter which support AF assist beam emitter function can also be emitted at the same time.References※It needs using single autofocus for the lens.※ It needs enabled the AF assist beam function of camera (flash) by custom functions setting. Can also disable this function by custom functions setting(C.Fn8).※ Both the receiver and the off-camera flash on the receiver will not be emitted.Feedback Function of the AF Assist Beam Emitter24※Only when the flash which supports assist beam emitter function is set in the receiver and the assist beam emitter is available, can this function be used.※Install the receiver on the camera and set the assist beam firing as disable via external flash custom function setting camera menu to disable this function(sets will be saved).※ If parameter which the flash doesn’t support had been set (such as hi-speed sync), this function will be abnormal.When the off-camera setting which is consistent with the camera’s menu, the AF assist beam emitter of the receiver will blink twice to show that the change is successfully.

Troubleshooting1. Fail to power on or automatic shutdown: The battery is loaded inversely or exhausted; indicator light will blink(red) separately when the batter y is going to be exhausted, and it will power off automatically in case of being over discharged.▲Install the battery according to the correct direction, ensure the battery is full and restart the power (refer to page 8).2.The flash doesn't fire: Ensure the power of all are full, the connection among the transceiver, camera and the flash is reliable; whether the indicator is set in the same channels and controllable groups. Flashes recycle process, entering in the state of overheating protection, the flash enters into sleep status etc. may makes the flash doesn't fire. Ensure the flash is in ready state, use the [Test] button test the flash before using.Check the power switch of the receiver to see if it set to correct communication mode. Such as the receiver set to “560-RX” mode, it will not receive the signal of “622". 3. Fail to enable the 2nd curtain sync:That’s because the restriction of camera menu.▲It shall set the wireless function disabled if needs using the 2nd curtain sync.4. Can't access into the external flash function menu or the menu is displayed abnormally:The transmitter is not installed right , the contacts of the hot shoe is stained or the power of the batter y is exhausted.▲Reinstall the transmitter and clean the contacts ,replace the batteries.5.The channel indicator bright all along, unable to change the flash mode and zoom of camera menu.It is because enable the “mix control mode”.▲Please long press the “CH SET” button to exit the mix control mode or restore to factory settings. the status 27
6. The assist beam emitter doesn't work: Refer to page 24.7. The on-top flash doesn't fire: Enabled the master flash via the wireless function setting.8. Can't set the flash zoom via camera menu: W h e n the m i x control mode has been set in the transmitter (p.21) or zoom locking has been set in the receiver (p.15), zoom can't be set via camera menu. Zoom setting of the on-top flash needs to be set separately(p.17).9. Fail to set channel 5, 6, 7 via camera menu: This is caused by the camera restriction and it can only set the channel 1-4 in via camera menu, while other channels can be set via channel button.10.ETTL underexposure or overexposure:Suggest enable wireless flash function when using ETTL flash mode, and adjust the position of the flash, use FEC/FEL function, check flash’s effective range. It may overexposure when ETTL and manual flash are used at the same time, now the manual flash suits to be used as a backlight.10.Information of aperture, distance are not displayed on the flash when half pressing the shutter:Set compatiable flash mode/shutter sync with the flash on the transmitter.11.No effect of the flash exposure bracketing calculation on receiver: Set the flash mode which is compatible with the flash.vIt is suggested using the following procedures to deal with when other trouble occur during the using:1). Restart all the equipments.2). Replace the batteries of the transceivers.3). Reset the factory set of the transceivers/camera/flash.4). Install the hot-shoe flash on the camera directly and clear the custom function of external flash then install it on transceiver again.Troubleshooting28
