This TTL wireless flash trigger only applies to SONY cameras. It can also directly control

flashes which have built-in Godox wireless X system (e.g. TT685S, V860IIS, AD360II,

AD600, AD600M, QuickerII, etc.). As to the flashes which do not have Godox wireless X

system (e.g.V860, V850, AD360, etc.), a XTR-16 or XTR-16S receiver can be used in

combination to achieve manual flash control. Featuring multi-channel triggering, stable

signal transmission, and sensitive reaction, it gives photographers unparalleled flexibility

and control over their strobist setups. X1T-S can also connect to the cameras which have

PC sync sockets. It supports high-speed sync function and the max flash synchronization

speed is up to 1/8000s *.

*: 1/8000s is achievable when the camera has a max camera shutter speed of 1/8000s.

Installing Batteries

As shown in the illustration, slide the battery compartment lid of the transmitter and

receiver and insert two AA batteries (sold separately)separately.

Low Battery Indication

When the battery power (2 AA

batteries <2.0V) gets low,

Status Indicator Lamp blinks

quickly (blink cycle=0.5s).

Please replace new batteries,

as low power leads to no flash

or flash missing in case of

long distance.

Attentions

1. Unable to trigger flash 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 flash 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. If so, set it to AF.

3. Signal disturbance or shooting interference. Change a different channel on the device.

4. Operating distance limited or flash missing. Check if batteries are exhausted. If so, change them.

Caring for Flash Trigger

Avoid sudden drops. 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 go beyond repair if soaked in water or exposed to high humidity. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Condensation happens if sudden temperature changes such as the circumstance when taking the transceiver out of a building with higher temperature to outside in winter. Please put the transceiver in a handbag or plastic bag beforehand. Keep away from strong magnetic field. The strong static or magnetic field produced by devices such as radio transmitters leads to malfunction.
