What to do if PocketWizard Transceiver remotes do not trigger?
First, review the section on sustaining high performance for radio information. Then, ensure the TRANSMIT MODE switch is set to BOTH.
What to do if PocketWizard Plus II's status LEDs are on continuously?
First, check all units for a stuck TEST button. Turn each unit off and back on again to isolate the source of the problem. Also, remove the unit from the camera’s hot shoe and/or unplug and reconnect any connecting cables. Finally, try switching all remote connections to the FLASH port rather than the CAMERA / FLASH port.
What to do if PocketWizard Plus II doesn't trigger flash or camera when pressing TEST?
First, verify that the remote equipment is functional when not connected to the PocketWizard by trying a different flash or camera. Double-check all connections, eliminating adapters if possible, and ensure the cable is properly connected to the correct port on the flash or camera. If triggering a flash with a household-style sync terminal, try reversing the household connection to correct the polarity. Try connecting to the other port on the PocketWizard unit, as each port has slightly different triggering characteristics. Verify that the flash being triggered has a sync voltage that is compatible with your PocketWizard. Note that a remote camera cannot be triggered via its PC terminal or hot shoe; use a motor drive cable. Finally, try replacing the cable with a PocketWizard brand cable.
Why PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver status LED does not blink when turned on?
Try using new AA (IEC:LR6) alkaline batteries. Also, if the unit has been left on but not triggered for approximately 40 hours, it may have shut down to prevent potential battery leakage. Turn the unit off and back on again, or change the batteries.
