Activation of the SLAVE mode with the cordless Metz remote system:

•Mount and set up the SLAVE unit in the described man- ner.

• Turn off the SLAVE unit with the main switch .

• Press the manual firing button and keep depressed.

• Turn on the mecablitz with the main switch .

• Release the manual firing button .

• Set the SLAVE function selector		in Position 2 (see fig.
10). The SLAVE indicator	on the mecablitz will start

flashing (see fig. 11); the on/off intervals are approxima- tely the same.

•Activate the controller (master) on the camera. Set the flash synch speed or a slower shutter speed on the camera.

☞SLAVE operation with the cordless Metz remote system must be reactivated after the mecablitz has been switched off with the main switch or after automatic switch-off (see above)! NOTE: The mecablitz as a SLAVE in the cord- less Metz remote system only supports the controller address 1! Operation of the meca- blitz as a controller in the cordless Metz remo- te system is not possible!

Testing the cordless Metz remote function before shooting:

•Set up the mecablitz (SLAVE) in the position required for picture shooting.

•Point the camera with the controller (master) in the same direction as for the subsequent shot.

•Wait until the controller and the SLAVE(s) are ready for firing (flash ready indicator on the individual flash units is lit).

•Press the manual firing button on the camera-mounted mecablitz controller and fire a test flash.

•The mecablitz 34 CS-2 digital (SLAVE) responds with a delayed flash, thereby indicating operating readiness. If several SLAVES are simultaneously used, then all of them will respond simultaneously.

•If a SLAVE does not fire a delayed flash then this indica-

tes that its sensor did not receive a light pulse. Should this be the case turn the SLAVE until its sensor can receive the light pulse, and repeat the test.

☞Bright ambient light and/or a wide aperture setting on the camera lens may cause the elec- tronic circuit to cut off the power prematurely
