5. Wired Connection (Optional): If your camera lacks a hot shoe or for a wired connection, use the provided cable to connect the camera's PC sync port (if available) directly to the transmitter.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Turn on both the camera and the flash unit connected to the receiver. Ensure the transmitter and receiver are also powered on.
2. Verify Channel Match: Double-check that the channel switches on both the transmitter and receiver are set to the identical channel number.
3. Test Firing: Take a test shot with your camera. The flash unit connected to the receiver should fire simultaneously. If it does not, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
4. Synchronous Speed: The AC-04 supports a maximum synchronous speed of 1/250 second. Adjust your camera's shutter speed accordingly for optimal flash synchronization.
5. Working Distance: The system operates effectively up to 30 meters in open, interference-free environments. Maintain a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver for best performance.

Maintenance
