Using your Camera with a POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver Teach Channel To prepare devices in your setup, you must assign the appropriate channel and zones. If devices have a user interface, you can assign the appropriate values using that interface. Some devices (flashes) have no user interface. Use your camera's Teach Channel feature to assign channel and zones to these devices. To assign values to the remote device, it must be in Learn mode, which in most cases is the first 7 or 30 seconds (depending upon the device manufacturer's configuration) after you turn the remote device on. The camera must be in Teach mode, which is activated when you select the Teach Channel feature. Flashes can learn more than one zone. For example, if zones A and B were selected at the time of teaching, the flash will trigger if either zone A or B is enabled on the transmit device. If you only want the flash to trigger in one zone, just teach it one. Teach each remote device separately so it will learn the appropriate channel and zone. 1. Set up the appropriate channel (see page 1-6) and zone (see page 1-7) on your camera. 2. Choose Teach Channel. 3. Turn on the remote device. 4. Press the OK button on your camera. IMPORTANT: Don't wait to press the OK button or the device will no longer be in Learn mode. A screen appears while the teaching is occurring. Once the remote device has been taught, you can test the POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver connection using the Test Radio option (see page 1-9). 1-12 July 12, 2004

Using your Camera with a POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver
Teach Channel
To prepare devices in your setup, you must assign the appropriate channel
and zones. If devices have a user interface, you can assign the appropriate
values using that interface. Some devices (flashes) have no user interface.
Use your camera’s Teach Channel feature to assign channel and zones to
these devices.
To assign values to the remote device, it must be in Learn mode, which in
most cases is the first 7 or 30 seconds (depending upon the device
manufacturer's configuration) after you turn the remote device on. The
camera must be in Teach mode, which is activated when you select the
Teach Channel feature.
Flashes can learn more than one zone. For example, if zones A and B were
selected at the time of teaching, the flash will trigger if either zone A or B is
enabled on the transmit device. If you only want the flash to trigger in one
zone, just teach it one.
Teach each remote device separately so it will learn the appropriate channel
and zone.
1.
Set up the appropriate channel (see
page 1-6
) and zone (see
page 1-7
) on your camera.
2.
Choose Teach Channel.
3.
Turn on the remote device.
4.
Press the OK button on your camera.
IMPORTANT:
Don’t wait to press the OK button or the device will no
longer be in Learn mode.
A screen appears while the teaching is occurring.
Once the remote device has been taught, you can test the
POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver connection using the Test Radio
option (see
page 1-9
).
