Suggestions for remote camera triggering:

Eliminate as many RF interference issues as possible.

• Maintain a line of sight between the units.

• Keep the antennas parallel and at least 12” apart.

• Make sure the radios, and especially the antennas, are not near any large metal,

concrete, or high water-content objects. People and trees are mostly water! Make sure

they are not blocked by these objects or by hills. Crowds gathering between you and

your remotes will reduce range. Try to keep the antennas above the heads of crowds.

• PocketWizard radios will have reduced performance if deployed close to the ground.

Try to get them up high – 4 feet or higher improves range dramatically. Consider using

any miniphone/headphone extension cable (including a PocketWizard MMX cable) to

locate the receiver higher up.

• Avoid mounting them to long metal railings or other building structures.

• Avoid mounting them near long cable runs for other equipment or close to building

wiring.

• Do not wrap connecting cables around the antenna. Keep them away from the

antenna. Use right angle connectors whenever possible.

• Do not afx the radio by taping the antenna to something. Especially, do not use

duct tape or any tape containing metal bers on the antenna.

• Avoid using long cable runs with PocketWizard radios. If you must use a long

cable run, deploy ferrite chokes (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.

jsp?productId=2103222) near the PocketWizard end of the long run. Use more

than one ferrite choke when possible. Place them 6 to 12 inches from the

radio and from each other.

• “Dead spots” have a number of causes, but the solution is usually the

same: move the unit a few inches or feet away from the problem area.
