For Your Safety
• Always keep this product dry.
• Do not use in rain or in damp conditions.
• Stop using this product if it breaks open due to internal shifting,
falling or strong impact.
• STRONG electric shock may occur if you touch the components inside it.
• Do not re ash directly into the eyes, especially those of babies and pets,
within short distances. Visual impairment may occur.
• Do not use ash units in the presence of ammable gases, chemicals
and other similar materials.
• Do not leave or store the unit if the ambient temperature is over 122°F /50°C
(e.g. in automobile in the sun). The electronic parts may be damaged.
• Do not insert metal parts into any equipment.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts on the ash or battery or contact them with
any conductive materials.
• Do not use the unit to support other equipment. For example, do not lift your
camera by the radio.
• The radio has a locking pin to ensure secure operation. To avoid damage,
completely unscrew the locking ring before removing the ash.
• Store the radio with the batteries removed. Keeping them inside can lead to
battery cell leakage, voiding the warranty.

receiver to the same channel before shooting.
• Mode Settings
1. Short press the <GR> Button and the selected group
will blink. Click to scroll through the modes forwardly
and double-click to scroll through in reverse sequence.
2. Short press the <MODE> Button and the selected
groups’ modes will be changed by the order of TTL/M/-- (-- represents OFF,
the current group will not re).
7
• Group POWER / FEC Settings
1. Short press the <GR> Button and the selected
group will blink. Click to scroll through the
modes forwardly and double-click to scroll
through in reverse sequence.
2. Turn the Select Dial to change the power or ash
exposure compensation settings. When the current
group is in the M mode, the power output value is
changeable from 1/1 full power to Min. power* in 0.3 stop increments.
When the current group is in the TTL mode, the FEC amount is changeable
from -3 to 3 in 0.3 stop increments. When the current group is in the -- mode
(ash o), the amounts will not change.
3. Short press the <CH/OK> Button again to conrm the setting.
Min. refers to the minimum power output value that can be set in M/Multi
mode. 1/128 or 1/256 can be set according to C.Fn-05.
The minimum power output value is 1/128 and cannot be set to 1/256 for most
of camera ashes. However, the value can change to 1/256 when using in
combination with stronger Watt-Second ashes such as the Flashpoint
XPLOR600 or Rapid R2.

change the selected blinking setting values. Continue to press the <GR> Button
until all the amounts are set. Then, short press the <MODE> Button to exit.
As ash times are restricted by ash output value, automatic settings may be forced as
a default value. The times that transmitted to the receiver device are Multi Flash in real
time settings, which are not related to the camera’s shutter speed setting. To guarantee
the successful use of stroboscopic mode, please use the formula below to calculate the
shutter speed. Number of Flashes / Firing Frequency = Shutter Speed

• SHOE MOUNT FLASH
The following options are
available when an optional
shoe-mounted ash unit is
attached and turned on.
1. Flash control mode: The ash control mode is selected from the ash unit. This can in
some cases be adjusted from the camera; the options available vary with the ash.
• TTL: TTL mode. Adjust ash compensation(2).
• MULTI: Repeating ash. Compatible shoe-mounted ash units will re multiple times
with each shot.
• (OFF): The ash does not re. Some ash units can be turned o from the camera.
2. Flash compensation/output: The options available vary with ash control mode .
• TTL: Adjust ash compensation (the full value may not be applied if the limits of the ash
control system are exceeded). In the cases of the Fujilm EF-X20, EF-20, and EF-42, the
selected value is added to the value selected with the ash unit.
• MULTI: Adjust ash output (compatible units only).
3. Flash mode (TTL): Choose a ash mode for TTL ash control. The options available vary
wilh the shooting mode (P, S, A, or M) selected.
• TTL AUTO (FLASH AUTO): The ash res only as required; ash level is adjusted
according to subject brightness. A icon displayed when the shutter button is pressed
halfway indicates that the ash will re when the photo is taken.
• Flash TTL (STANDARD): The ash res with every shot, if possible and the ash level
is adjusted according to subject brightness. The ash will not re if not fully recycled
when the shutter is released.
• TTL SLOW (SLOW SYNC.): This mode combines the ash with slow shutter speeds
when photographing portrait subjects against a backdrop of night scenery. The ash will
not re if not fully recycled when the shutter is released.
14
4. Sync: Control ash timing.
• (1ST CURTAIN): The ash res immediately after the shutter opens.
• (2ND CURTAIN): The ash res immediately before the shutter closes.
• (AUTO FP(HSS): High-speed sync (compatible units only). The camera automatically
engages front-curtain high-speed sync at shutter speeds faster than the ash sync speed.
Equivalent to 1ST CURTAIN when MULTI is selected for ash control mode.
5. Zoom: The angle of illumination (ash coverage) for units that support ash zoom.
Some units allow the adjustment to be made from the camera. If AUTO is selected, zoom
will automatically be adjusted to match coverage to lens focal length.
6. Lighting: If the unit supports this feature, choose from the options below.
• (FLASH POWER PR IORITY): Gain range by slightly reducing coverage.
• (STANDARD): Match coverage to picture angle.
• (EVEN COVERAGE PRIORITY): Slightly increase in coverage for more even lighting.
7. LED light: Choose how the built-in LED light functions during still photography
(compatible units only). It can function as a catch light ( /CATCH LIGHT), as an AF-assist
illuminator (AF/AF ASSIST), or as both a catch light and an AF-ASSIST illuminator
( /AF ASSIST+CATCHLIGHT). Choose OFF to disable the LED during photography.
8. Number of ashes: Choose the number of times the ash res each time the shutter is
released in MULTI mode.
• Frequency: Choose the frequency at which the ash res in MULTI mode.
NOTE: The full value may not be applied if limits of ash control system are exceeded.

Troubleshooting
1. Unable to trigger ash or camera shutter: Make sure batteries are installed
correctly and Power Switch is turned on. Check if the transmitter and the
receiver are set to the same channel, if the hotshoe mount or connection cable
is well connected, or if the ash triggers are set to the correct mode.
2. Camera shoots but does not focus. Check if the focus mode of the camera or
lens is set to MF, indicating Manual focus. If so, set it to AF, Auto Focus.
3. Signal disturbance or shooting interference. Change a dierent channel on the
devices.
4. Operating distance limited or ash misring: Check if batteries are exhausted.
Maintaining your Radios
• Avoid sudden impact. The device may fail to work after strong shocks, impacts,
or excess stress.
• Keep dry. The product isn’t water-proof. Malfunction, rust, and corrosion may
occur and cause irreparable damage if soaked in water or exposed to high
humidity.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Condensation occurs due to sudden
temperature changes such as moving out of a building with higher temperature
and humidity to a much cooler outdoor environment. Please put the radio in a
pouch or plastic bag beforehand.
• Keep away from strong magnetic eld. The strong static of magnetic eld
produced by devices such as radio transmitters leads to malfunction.
