How to Use the

Sync Radio Receiver

Connecting Antenna

To use the optional built-in sync radio receiver
the antenna first has to be connected. When
inserting the antenna to the generator socket,
insert it straight into the socket and push the plug
all the way in. When the antenna is connected
the built-in photocell will be disabled.

Radio Receiver

The optional built-in sync radio receiver is
available in 315 Mhz (Japan), 344 MHz (USA)
and 433 MHz (Europe). They are compatible with
all PocketWizard Transmitters and Transceivers
working on the same frequency! The Radio
module built-into the generator is a learning
Pocket Wizard Receiver with 32 channels.
Please make sure to use the frequency allowed in your country.
The radio receiver has a learning function which
means that during 30 seconds from power on,
it will try to detect a trigger signal on any of
the 32 channels. If a trigger signal is detected,
the radio receiver will lock to that channel.
If no trigger is detected, the radio receiver
will default to the previously used channel.
Actual photo shooting with radio should not be
performed during the 30 second learn period
since the result may be unpredictable due
to the channel learning process. It can also
learn multiple zones on the Quad-Triggering
channels, 17 through 32. This provides the
photographer with the convenience to activate
or deactivate the flash unit(s) wirelessly in four
separately controllable zones (ABCD) without
leaving the camera position.
To teach the generator a receive Channel
and Zone* follow these steps:
• Selectthedesiredchannelandzoneona
PocketWizard (Transmitter or transceiver).
• Poweroffthegeneratorandwait5seconds.
• Poweronthegenerator.
• Within30seconds,pressandholdthe
PocketWizard Transmitter TEST button
(up to 4 seconds) until flash triggers. If
using a Sekonic meter with radio module
as a transmitter, press the measure button
repeatedly within the 30 second learning
period until the flash triggers.
Example:
The teaching Transmitter is set to channel 17
with zones A, B, and C selected. If the generator
is taught this combination it will trigger from
any Transmitter set to channel 17 with zones A,
B, or C selected. It will not trigger if only zone
D is selected on the Transmitter. It will trigger
if zones A and D are selected.
To teach the generator to trigger in only one
zone make sure the teaching Transmitter
