NOTE: Wait at least 1/2 second between making changes on the AC3 and taking a picture to allow for the changes
to be communicated. The Status LED on your transmitter will blink red as changes are detected on the AC3. If the
radio or camera is asleep, changes may not be detected until the camera’s shutter release is pressed halfway.

• FlexTT5 radios with Canon Speedlites
