Nikon D1 Instructions For Use

Channel selection: remotely firing the camera.
The radio is in receiver mode most of the time.
The receive channel is always linked one channel up from the transmit channel.
If you set the cameras transmit channel to channel 5, the camera will receive remote triggers on
channel 6.
The only exception to this is for channel 32. If the transmit channel is set to 32, then the receive
channel will be channel 1.
The best way to set the receive channel is to know what channel you set for transmit and add 1.
An alternative way to set the receive channel is as follows-
1) Turn on a PocketWizard transmitter and select a channel.
2) Press and hold the transmitters TEST button so that it keeps transmitting.
3) Press and hold the “Flash” button on the camera and spin the front command dial up or down.
4) Let go of the “Flash” button on the camera and see if the camera triggers.
If the camera does not trigger, you are not on the correct channel yet.
Repeat step 3 until the camera fires.
This method is much slower than setting a transmit channel (see previous section), but is a way
to set the channel if you do not have a PocketWizard receiver.
Remote camera and flash Relay mode:
The radio can automatically switch between transmit and receive modes.
If the camera receives a remote radio trigger signal, it will automatically switch to transmit mode
and wait for the flash sync signal from the shutter. When it sees this signal it will transmit the
trigger command to a remote receiver to fire the flash and then automatically switch back to
receive mode to wait for the next remote trigger.
So to set up this system, you need two PocketWizards. One PocketWizard receiver for the flash
and one transmitter for you to hold in you hand to fire the camera.
Set the camera’s transmit channel so that it can fire the flash. You can check if this is set
correctly by pressing the “Flash” button on top of the camera.
Next, you set the PocketWizard transmitter that you will be using to fire the camera to be one
channel UP from the channel your flash receiver is set to.
So if your flash receiver is on channel 17, you must have the transmitter in your hand set to
channel 18.
If you set them both to the sam e cha nnel, the system will not work properl y!
