Standard Radio Operation
Transceiver Control
The MultiMA X operates as either a transmitter or a receiver. To use the MultiMAX as
a Transmitter (sending device) set the power switch to TRANSMIT. To use the
MultiMAX as a Receiver set the power switch to RECEIVE.
L There is a special mode that enables a MultiMAX to automatically switch from
RECEIVE to TRANSMIT then back to REC EIVE while triggering a remote camera.
Read the Relay Mode section, Page 40, for more information.
Channels
The MultiMA X is a 32 channel digital radio slave. Each MultiMAX channel represents
a digital code transmitted on specific PocketW izard radio frequencies. This enables
many photographers to work in the same area. It also enables a photographer to
control multiple remote devices (cameras, flash units, etc).
A MultiMAX (set for TRA NS MIT mode) will trigger any number of MultiMAX units (set
for RECEIVE m ode) set to the sam e channel. Units set to different channels will not
interfere with each other.
From the main screen press the  keys to change channels.
