Notice for Customers in the U.S.A.
❏ U.S.A. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Declaration of Conformity
Notices
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules and RSS-Gen of IC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
Products that contain a radio
transmitter are labeled with FCC ID
and may also carry the FCC logo.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference S tatement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
CAUTIONS
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to this device that are not expressly approved by Nikon Corporation
may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Interface Cables
Use the interface cables sold or provided by Nikon for your equipment. Using
other interface cables may exceed the limits of Class B Part 15 of the FCC rules.
iv
Indoor operations
In accordance with 47 CFR Part 15.407 (e) U-NII, devices operating in 5.15–
5.25 GHz frequency bands are restricted to indoor operations only.
Co-loc ation
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. This Wireless Transmitter (WT-4A), which is
equipped with an SX-10WAG (FCC ID: N6C-SX10WAG / IC: 4908B-SX10WAG)
Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of
the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report
that was uploaded to FCC website.
This WT-4A has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with the Nikon Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this
product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

❏ IC RSS-GEN Exposure of Humans to RF Fields
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 2.1 dBi. Industry Canada regulations strictly prohibit antennas with
higher gain. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
Co-loc ation
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

Introduction
A FTP Servers
Servers can be configured using standard ftp services available with
supported operating systems, such as IIS (Internet Information Services).
Connection to computers on other networks via a router, Internet ftp
connections and ftp servers running third-party software are not
supported.
A Ethernet Connection
The camera can not connect to a wireless LAN when an Ethernet cable is

disconnect the Ethernet cable.
No adjustments to wireless LAN settings are required when the camera is
connected to a LAN by an Ethernet cable.
A Routers
Connection to computers on other networks via a router is not supported.
A Firewall Settings
The WT-4 uses TCP ports 20 and 21 for ftp and TCP port 15740 and UDP
port 5353 when connecting to a computer. Computer firewalls must be
configured to allow access to these ports, as otherwise the computer may
not be able to access the WT-4.
A MAC Address Filtering
If the network using MAC address filtering, the filter must be supplied

Introduction
Preparing the Camera
Before using the WT-4, set the camera [USB] option to [MTP/PTP],
insert a battery in the WT-4, and install the WT-4 Setup Utility and
Thumbnail Selector on the host computer.
Choosing “MTP/PTP”
Before connecting the WT-4, set the camera [USB] option to [MTP/
PTP] as described below. Make sure that the camera battery is fully
charged or the optional AC adapter is connected. See the camera
manual for more information.
1 Turn the camera on.

Preparing the WT-4
Attach the Antenna
Preparing the WT-4
Attach the supplied antenna to the WT-4 as
shown in the diagram.
Inserting the Battery
To prevent loss of power during setup or upload, use a fullycharged battery or an optional AC adapter. The WT-4 takes one
EN-EL3e rechargeable Li-ion battery; other batteries can not be
used. Note that the drain on the battery is increased when the
WT-4 is attached.
1 Open the battery chamber cover.
2 Using the side of the battery to
push the battery latch to one
side, slide the battery in until
the latch clicks into place. Be
sure the battery is in the
correct orientation. For safety
precautions and information
on charging the battery, see the battery and charger manuals.

3 Close the battery-chamber cover.
A Removing the Battery
Being careful not to drop the battery, open the
battery chamber cover and remove the battery as
shown at right.
A Stand-By Mode
When disconnected from the camera, the WT-4 will turn off automatically
after the delay chosen for the [Auto power off] option in the [Wireless
transmitter] menu (pg. 173), reducing the drain on the battery. Note that
the WT-4 will not turn off automatically when transmitting data to a
computer in thumbnail select mode (pg. 79).
A Battery Level
The level of the battery inserted in the WT-4 can be determined by
connecting the WT-4 to the camera (pp. 70, 81, 90, 102, 140) and checking
the battery level using the [Battery info] option (pg. 172) in the camera
setup menu.
A The EH-6 AC Adapter
The optional EH-6 AC adapter can also be used to
power the camera when the WT-4 is connected.
Connect the DC plug on the AC adapter to the
WT-4 DC-IN connector, not to the camera.
