YOU SHOULD KNOW

If the device you want to use to control your T 3 doesn’t have a 2.5 mm trigger output connector, you can cut one plug off the cable and modify the end as needed. The wire with the red stripe is positive and the wire without the stripe is negative.

You cannot automatically turn on the T 3 by applying AC power to the unit. Therefore, the T 3 will not turn on automatically if it is connected to a switched AC outlet.
