Radio Performance

The MultiMAX is an advanced digital radio system. Its true digital technology guarantees optimum interference rejection while maintaining high performance. As with all radio devices (c ell phones, walkie talkies, cordless s ound systems ) there are som e situations where perform anc e may be d egraded by outs ide fac tors. F or maximum radio performance for the MultiMAX, or any radio device, follow the guidelines below:

•Keep antenn as p arallel. T he antenn a radiation and reception pattern is designed for best performance in this orientation.

•W hile not requ ired for op eration, main taining line of sigh t between T RA NS MIT and RECEIVE units will give best performance. Radio can work through objects, but its range may be reduced.

•Mou nt R EC EIV E u nits aw ay from metal objec ts. S ome m etal objects can act as

an antenna. T he radio nois e in an area m ay be con duc ted by the m etal and c an reduc e the rang e of a R EC EIV E u nit wh ich w orks harder to reject extra noise. Moving a R EC EIVE unit a few inc hes away from metal, or m ounting the unit su ch that the anten na is aw ay from or above the m etal, will elimin ate this is su e.

•Mount units away from water. W ater absorbs radio energy. If shooting around water-f illed objects try to maintain line of sigh t between units when ever poss ible.

Sou rces of water th at migh t affec t a unit’s r ange are:

•T rees – if sh ooting in a large f orest w ith many trees, try to m aintain line of sight

•People – mount RECEIVE units above the heads of large crowds and use

T RAN SM IT units in the c amera’s hot s hoe w henever pos sib le

• Rain – Heavy downpours may affect range

•Large metal and concrete structures affect radio. Attempting to trigger through large m etal or conc rete objects or buildin gs will resu lt in a reduc tion in rang e. Try to mount RECEIVE units in windows for best performance when shooting arch itecture.

•Flas h pack mounting – m ount the R EC EIVE unit with the an tenn a com pletely above the top of the body of the flash unit. Keep the antenna away from the metal in a flash unit

If you are experienc ing ran ge prob lems and you h ave followed the g uidelines above, try moving the R EC EIV E u nit a few in ches in an y direction. R adio reflec tions f rom surrounding objects can sometimes cause nodes, or “dead spots.” Relocating the RE CE IVE unit jus t a few inc hes from these spots c an dram atically improve ran ge.
