• Test Button: Manually triggers the flash for testing purposes.
• Sync Cable Connection Port: For connecting to cameras via a sync cable (if hot shoe is not used).
• Channel Selection Switch (DIP Switches): Used to set the communication channel (1-16).

• Indicator Light: Illuminates to confirm signal reception.

Setup Guide

1. Setting Channels

Both the transmitter and receiver units feature DIP switches for channel selection. To ensure proper communication, the channel settings on both units must match.

• Identify the DIP switches on both the transmitter and receiver. There are 4 switches, allowing for 16 unique channel combinations (2^4 = 16).
• Set the switches on the transmitter to your desired channel. For example, to set channel 1, ensure only switch 1 is in the "ON" position.
• Replicate the exact same switch configuration on the receiver unit.
• If multiple trigger sets are used in the same area, set them to different channels to avoid interference.

2. Connecting the Transmitter to Your Camera

The transmitter can be connected to your camera via the hot shoe mount.

• Slide the transmitter's hot shoe mount into your camera's hot shoe slot.
• Secure the transmitter by tightening the locking ring (if present) on the transmitter's hot shoe foot.
• Ensure the transmitter is firmly seated to establish proper electrical contact.

3. Connecting the Receiver to Your Strobe/Flash

The receiver connects to your studio strobe or flash unit using the provided sync cable.

• Locate the sync port on your studio strobe or flash unit. This is typically a 3.5mm or 6.35mm jack.
• Connect the 3.5mm sync plug of the receiver directly into the strobe's 3.5mm sync port.
• If your strobe has a 6.35mm sync port, use the included 6.35mm adapter with the 3.5mm sync cable.
• Ensure the connection is secure.

Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

• Receiver: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the receiver unit and slide it to the "ON" position to power it on. Slide to "OFF" to power down.
• Transmitter: The transmitter typically draws power from the camera's hot shoe or internal battery (if applicable) and does not have a separate ON/OFF switch. It activates when mounted and the camera is powered on.

Testing the Connection

• After setting up both units and ensuring matching channels, press the "Test" button on the transmitter.
• The indicator light on both the transmitter and receiver should illuminate, and the connected strobe/flash should fire.
• If the flash does not fire, recheck channel settings, connections, and power status of all devices.

Normal Operation

• With the transmitter mounted on your camera and the receiver connected to your strobe/flash, simply take a photo.
• The transmitter will send a signal to the receiver, triggering the flash in sync with your camera's shutter.
• Ensure your camera's flash settings are configured appropriately for external flash triggering (e.g., disable built-in flash if not needed).

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the units. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, store the trigger set in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Battery Care: If the receiver uses replaceable batteries (not explicitly stated but common), remove them if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Connection Ports: Keep sync ports and hot shoe contacts clean and free of dust or debris to ensure reliable connections.
