Learn Mode Channels can be set via PocketWizard Utility (recommended) or taught from any PocketWizard transmitter using Learn Mode. Learn Mode is not required for normal operation of the radios. IMPORTANT: Hold radios at least 2 feet apart when teaching/learning. 1. Turn MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 radio ON and select channel to be taught: C.1 or C.2. 2. Press and hold TEST for several seconds until LED blinks amber, then release TEST. 3.
Other Functions Auto-Relay Mode A FlexTT5 radio in camera’s shoe and connected with motor drive cord to P1 can receive a radio trigger and trigger the camera’s motor drive, which in turn triggers a remote flash. The channel used for relay transmit is 1 higher than receive channel, unless set differently via PocketWizard Utility. Example: If you taught FlexTT5 radio Standard channel 2, then relay transmit occurs on Standard channel 3. Press TEST on hand-held trigger radio to begin relay sequence.
Reset RESET RESET A / CHANNEL RESET: To reset learned channels to channels last set in Utility, hold TEST on power up. LED blinks green twice to indicate reset. Release TEST.
