Phottix Aster Flash Trigger
INSTRUCTION
Introduction
The Phottix Aster Wireless Flash Trigger Set is used to remotely re camera ashes. The Aster transmitter unit emits a wireless radio signal to the Aster receiver unit when the camera’s shutter is triggered. This signal res the ash attached to the receiver, depending on the radio channel selected. The receiver can also be optically triggered with a camera’s built-in ash or other ash unit. This allows you to take o-camera ash photographs without using radio triggering.
Features
1) The receiver unit has two operating modes: In ‘W’ (wireless) mode the receiver unit is triggered by the wireless transmitter unit. In ‘L’ (light) mode the receiver unit is triggered optically by another ash – an optical sensor is on the back of the receiver unit.
2) Four radio channels (for ‘W’ wireless mode) are available to avoid interference.
3) When using ‘W’ wireless mode: Setting the transmitter’s channel selection switch to “ALL” will re the ashes on all receiver units within range, even if set to dierent channels.
Operating Instructions W (wireless) mode
1) Turn on the transmitter unit (move switches to the ‘On’ position).
2) Move the receiver switch to the ‘W’ position and set the channel selector (there are 1/2/3/4 channel switches) of both transmitter and receiver units to same number (1 -1, 2 -2, 3 -3, 4 -4).
3) Press the test button on the transmitter unit. If the transmitter and receiver’s signal LEDs light simultaneously, the units are properly cong­ured.
4) Slide the ash into the receiver unit’s hot shoe socket, locking it with the ash’s locking mechanism; slide the transmitter unit into the camera’s hot shoe socket. Pressing the camera’s shutter release will now trigger the ash.
L (light) mode (without use of transmitter)
1) Move the receiver unit switch to the ‘L’ position.
2) The ash on receiver will now be triggered by a camera’s built-in ash or other another ash unit within range.

Usage Notices
1) Use batteries as specied in this user guide. Replace with a new battery if the receiver’s signal LED becomes dim.
4) The transmitter and receiver units have an on/o switch, and an LED to indicate operation and triggering.
5) The receiver unit’s hot shoe mount will accept speedlight-type ash units. The metal tripod thread underneath the receiver unit can be used for mounting the unit on a tripod or light stand.
6) The receiver unit’s PC Sync socket will take a 3.5mm mono plug. The included 3.5mm PC Sync cable can connect the receiver unit to a studio strobe when using the 6.3mm PC adapter (included).
7) Supported Modes: Manual, Non TTL Auto.
For Studio ash
1) Plug the PC Sync cord into the receiver unit’s PC Sync socket. Connect the cord (the 3.5mm mono plug or 6.3mm converter) to the studio light. Set the receiver to ‘W ‘ (wireless) mode.
2) Slide the transmitter unit into the camera’s hot shoe connection.
3) Pressing the camera’s shutter release will now trigger the ash.
2) Protect the units. Falls or crushing can damage the transmitter and receiver units.
3) Keep the units dry, and avoid rain, dampness, and electric shock.

Phottix Aster闪光灯触发器
使用说明
产品说明
Phottix Aster
光灯。当相机快门释放时,Aster 发射器将发射一种无 线电信号给接收器。该信号根据选择的无线电频道来触 发接收器热靴上连接的闪光灯。接收器还可以被相机的 内置闪光灯或其他一些闪光装置光控触发。这样你可以 不需要使用无线电触发就可以进行离机闪光灯拍摄。
无线闪光灯触发器用于远程触发相机闪
产品特征
1. 接收器有两个操作模式: ‘W’(无线)模式即接收器可以被发射器无线触发。 ‘L’(光控)模式则是接收器装置可以被闪光装置光 控触发–接收器后面有一个光学传感器。
2. 有四个用于避免干扰的无线电频道(用于“W”无 线模式)。
3. 当使用‘W’ 无线模式时:将发射器的频道选择开关 滑动至“ALL”,则所有在其工作范围内的接收器上的 闪光灯都将被触发,即使这些接收器和发射器的频道设 置不一样。
4. 发射器和接收器上都有一个 ON/OFF 开关和一个用 来显示操作和触发情况的 LED 指示灯。
操作说明 W( 无线 ) 模式
1. 开启发射器(将开关滑动至“On”位置。)
2. 将接收器开关滑动至“W”位置,将发射器和接收 器的频道调为一致(1 -1, 2 -2, 3 -3, 4 -4)。
3. 按下发射器上的测试按钮,如果发射器和接收器的 LED 信号灯同时亮起来,说明此发射器和接收器正常工 作。
4. 滑动闪光灯至接收器的热靴端口,根据闪光灯的锁紧 机制锁定闪光灯;滑动发射器至相机的热靴插座。按下 相机的快门按钮将触发接收器上的闪光灯。
L(光控)模式(不需要使用发射器)
1. 将接收器开关滑动至“L”位置。
2. 接收器上连接的闪光灯将可以被相机的内置闪光灯或 其他在接收器工作范围之内的闪光装置触发。
用于影楼灯
1. 将 PC 同步线一端插入接收器的 PC 同步端口,将线 的另一端(3.5mm 单芯插头或 6.3mm 适配器)连接 至影楼灯。将接收器设置为“W”无线模式。
2. 滑动发射器至相机的热靴插座。
3. 按下相机的快门按钮将会触发接收器上的影楼灯。
