1. Turn OFF the Receiver (if it’s a DC Receiver) and verify that the
batteries’ polarity is correct. Turn the Receiver back to the ON position.
2. Make sure the batteries in the Transmitter are fresh. Weak batteries
will reduce the distance over which a transmission can be made.
3. Ensure that both the PowerSync Transmitter and Receiver
are connected properly.
4. Make sure that both the Transmitter and Receiver are set to the
same channel.
5. Verify that the ash lighting equipment in use is operating properly
when not connected to the PowerSync Slave System. If triggering a
ash that uses a household-style sync terminal, make certain that the
plug is oriented correctly.
6. Verify that the ash lighting equipment has a sync voltage that is
compatible with the PowerSync Slave System.
Note: The PowerSync Radio Slave System has been rigorously tested with
numerous ash manufacturers and has proven to work in most instances.
There may be some exceptions.
7. Ensure that all cables attached to both the ash and PowerSync
Slave System are fully intact and are not frayed or torn.
8. Check for a stuck test button on all units, including the ash units.
9. Sync speed and working distance are affected by radio reections
and obstructions. Avoid having a large hill, concrete, metal or water
obstructions between the Transmitter and Receiver. Reposition the
units so they are not blocked by these objects. Often moving the
Transmitter and Receiver a couple of feet will solve the problem.

Key FeaturesSpecications
• 16 Reliable Channels: Digitally coded at 2.4 GHz for multiple
setups; work at events with other photographers without the
worry of ash or radio interference.
• Extensive Range of Reliable Performance: 590 feet (180 m)
indoors; 200+ feet (60+ m) outdoors. An above-average range for
the most demanding situations (radio interference and low battery
strength will lower your effective range).
• Fast Sync Speeds: Compatible with most cameras, offering a
maximum sync speed of 1/250 second; allows the user to capture
most studio and event scenes.
• Multipurpose Hot-Shoe Mount: (DC version) The Receiver is
equipped with a multipurpose hot-shoe mount for use with
on-camera or remote portable ash. Tests have established that
the mount works with the hot shoes of most major brands.
• Universal Voltage: (AC version) The Receiver offers the ease and
convenience of dual or global voltage (100-240 V). The Receiver
utilizes current from a host ash lighting unit. Operate your
Receiver without the hassle of replacing batteries.
Note: The PowerSync Radio Slave System is not designed to perform
in TTL mode with ash units, nor is the system able to operate properly
in the Live View mode of your camera. Your camera and ash unit
must be set to Manual Mode.
