LEARN Mode

Channels can be taught via the PocketWizard Utility. See the Utility’s help for more information. Teaching via the Utility is recommended. Channels can also be taught in the field using PocketWizard transmitters.

Transmitting channel: A MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 learning from a PocketWizard transmitter will learn both a Standard channel as well as a corresponding ControlTL channel for transmitting.

Review Page 22 for more information about corresponding channels.

TEST/LEARN Button

 

Receiving channel: A FlexTT5 Transceiver can only receive on one channel at a time. It receives on *either* a ControlTL *or* a Standard channel, not both simultaneously. When being taught from a Standard PocketWizard transmitter it will learn to receive only on a Standard channel.

For remote E-TTL II systems, teach the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 to be used as the primary transmitter first, then use it to teach all the remote FlexTT5 radios their ControlTL channel.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Hold radios at least 2 feet apart when teaching/learning. A connected flash may trigger during LEARN. To avoid undesired flashing from remote radios that have already been taught or have already had their channel set, turn them OFF.

1.Turn the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 radio ON and select the channel, C.1 or C.2, to be taught.

2.Press and hold TEST for several seconds. When the LED blinks amber, release TEST.

3.Quickly press and hold TEST on the teaching transmitting radio (MiniTT1, FlexTT5, Plus II, MultiMAX, etc.). When the LED on the radio being taught blinks green, channel is learned.

1 green blink = Low Standard channel learned (1 through 16)

2 green blinks = High Standard channel learned (MultiMAX 17 through 32)

3 green blinks = ControlTL channel learned (ControlTL 1 through 20)
