LEARN Mode (cont’d)

For remote E-TTL II to function, the ControlTL channel must be learned. If you see only 1 or 2 green blinks after teaching then a Standard channel was learned and E-TTL II will not function. If you desire E-TTL II functionality, teach the FlexTT5 again from the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 to be used as the primary transmitter and look for 3 green blinks.

To teach all radios in a system Standard channels, use the Standard transmitter as the teaching radio for all learning radios, including MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 to be used as the primary transmitter.

If you see no green blinks during the LEARN cycle then the radio did not learn a new channel and will use the previous one. Hold the radios farther apart and try teaching again.

SPECIAL NOTES

Activating LEARN in a MiniTT1 causes a large drain on the coin cell battery. To maintain the best battery life, use the PocketWizard Utility to teach channels to the MiniTT1 whenever possible.

Channels learned in the field are not displayed in the PocketWizard Utility.

A Sekonic Meter cannot be used to teach. Its brief trigger mode is not compatible with LEARN.

Custom IDs from MultiMAX radios are not learned.

FAST MODE in a MAX Receiver or MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE) offers no benefit when triggered by a ControlTL transmitter. Turn FAST MODE off for best performance. If left on, it will negatively affect HyperSync timing.

HyperSync requires a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as a transmitter. A Standard transmitter cannot trigger a FlexTT5 and achieve HyperSync.
