TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER ORIENTATION
Long range performance of your PocketWizard Plus radio slave system is dependent on orienting
and positioning the units properly. In general, it is a good idea to have line of sight between the
transmitter and the receivers. If this is not possible, try to keep the units away from large metal,
concrete, or water-filled objects. (remember that people and trees are both full of water.)
Receivers can be mounted to flash packs using Velcro tape or with the 1/4-20 threaded insert as
long as you are sure that the receiver is mounted such that the antenna is completely above the
top edge of the pack. It is best under all circumstances to avoid any contact between the antenna
of the units and anything metallic.
You may find "dead spots" in some areas. These are caused by a number of different things, but
the solution is almost always the same - try moving the unit a few inches to one side or the other.
Again, try not to put the units behind concrete, metal, hills - anything that absorbs radio.
Care and Feeding...
To insure continued reliability, please follow these guidelines:
· Do not subject the unit to high mechanical shock (don't drop it!)
· Damage may occur to some components if the PocketWizard Plus is stored below -40°C
(-40°F) or above +85°C (185°F).
· Keep your PocketWizard Plus dry.
· Do not connect any device to this unit unless that device is approved for use by LPA
Design. Connection to unapproved devices may cause damage and will void your
warranty.
· Remove the batteries when storing the unit for an extended amount of time. Remove
spent batteries promptly.
· Turn off units when not in use.
· To clean the PocketWizard Plus, use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe the exterior
surfaces. Do not use solvents or other cleansers. Do not immerse the unit in any liquid.
