Radio receiver

The optional built-in sync radio receiver is available in 315 Mhz (Japan), 344 MHz (USA) and 433 MHz
(Europe). They are compatible with all PocketWizard Transmitters and Transceivers working on the
same frequency! The Radio module built-into the generator is a learning Pocket Wizard Receiver
with 32 channels.
NOTICE
Please make sure to use the frequency allowed in your country.
18
The radio receiver has a learning function which means that during 30 seconds from
power on, it will try to detect a trigger signal on any of the 32 channels. If a trigger signal
is detected, the radio receiver will lock to that channel. If no trigger is detected, the radio
receiver will default to the previously used channel. Actual photo shooting with radio should
not be performed during the 30 second learn period since the result may be unpredictable
due to the channel learning process. It can also learn multiple zones on the Quad-Triggering
channels, 17 through 32. This provides the photographer with the convenience to activate or
deactivate the flash unit(s) wirelessly in four separately controllable zones (ABCD) without leaving
the camera position.
*
To teach the generator a receive Channel and Zone follow these steps:
• Select the desired channel and zone on a PocketWizard (Transmitter or transceiver).
• Power off the generator and wait 5 seconds.
• Power on the generator.
• Within 30 seconds, press and hold the PocketWizard Transmitter TEST button (up to 4
seconds) until flash triggers. If using a Sekonic meter with radio module as a transmitter, press
the measure button repeatedly within the 30 second learning period until the flash triggers.
Example:
The teaching Transmitter is set to channel 17 with zones A, B, and C selected. If the generator is
taught this combination it will trigger from any Transmitter set to channel 17 with zones A, B, or
C selected. It will not trigger if only zone D is selected on the Transmitter. It will trigger if zones
A and D are selected.
To teach the generator to trigger in only one zone make sure the teaching Transmitter has only one
zone selected. Be aware that while teaching a channel, other PocketWizard transmitters should
refrain from triggering to prevent the receiver locking to the incorrect channel. While this is highly
unlikely, 1 in 32 chance, and only during the 30 second learning period) it is still possible. The
generator radio receiver is always in operation while the generator is powered on. It is possible to use
the photo slave or a sync cord in addition to radio triggering.
