5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Basic Wireless Triggering

1. Ensure both the TX and RX units are powered on and set to their respective modes.
2. The units should automatically pair within one second. A stable wireless connection indicator will confirm pairing.
3. When you press the shutter button on your camera, the TX unit will send a signal, triggering the flash connected to the RX unit.
4. You can also manually trigger the flash by pressing the power/trigger button on the TX unit.

5.2 Multi-Flash Setups

The T1 system supports one master transmitter controlling up to twenty slave receivers. To set up multiple flashes:

1. Designate one T1 unit as the transmitter (TX) on your camera.
2. Connect additional T1 units to your slave flashes and set them all to receiver (RX) mode.
3. All RX units will respond to the signal from the TX unit, allowing for complex multi-angle lighting configurations.

5.3 Flash Riser Function

When a T1 unit is mounted on your camera's hot shoe, it acts as a flash riser. This elevates the flash unit, which can help prevent vignetting or shadows cast by large lenses or lens hoods, especially when using compact flash units like the ZENIKO ZF04 or ZF08.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Rengøring

To clean the T1 units, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device's electronics and finish.

6.2 Opbevaring

Store the T1 units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the units are fully charged before storage and periodically recharge them to maintain battery health.

6.3 Batteristyring

The T1 units feature an auto-sleep function to conserve battery power after 30 minutes of inactivity. They support charging while in use, which is beneficial for prolonged photography sessions.

7. Fejlfinding

• Blitzen går ikke ud:
  • Ensure both TX and RX units are powered on and fully charged.
  • Verify that the TX unit is set to Transmitter mode and the RX unit(s) are set to Receiver mode.
  • Check that the units are securely mounted on the camera and flash, respectively.
  • Confirm that the flash unit itself is powered on and functioning correctly.
• Interferensproblemer:
  • The T1 uses 2.4GHz adaptive frequency hopping technology to minimize interference. If issues persist in crowded environments, try repositioning the units slightly.
  • Ensure no other strong 2.4GHz wireless devices are operating in very close proximity.

• Begrænset rækkevidde:
  • The effective range is up to 50 meters (164 feet) in open areas. Obstacles or strong electromagnetic interference can reduce this range.
  • Ensure a clear line of sight between the TX and RX units if possible.
• Batteri holder ikke opladning:
  • Ensure you are using a functional USB-C cable and power source.
  • Kontakt kundesupport, hvis problemet fortsætter.
