Remote Settings
Un-Pairing
In the event you should wish to remove the association between the remote and one of its
slaves the un-pairing process should be used.
To commence un-pairing start at the main menu and press key until the un-pairing
page is displayed then press the ENT key.
A warning message is displayed reminding you that once you have completed this process
you will no longer be able to communicate with the slave device. If you wish to continue
press the ENT key, otherwise press the key to exit.
Another message is now displayed instructing you to set the slave device you wish to un-
team into un-teaming mode. Once this is done press the ENT key to continue.
Note: Only one slave device should be in un-pairing mode at any one time.
To enter un-pairing mode on the XMS press the MENU button until the display shows ‘Pr’ to
indicate ‘Pairing’ mode. Use the Rotary Control to scroll through the available options until
the display alternates between showing ‘Pr’ and ‘UP’ for ‘Un-Pair’.
Press the Rotary Control to request pairing with the XMSR. The XMS unit will now display a
steady ‘UP’.
When the XMS unit is found its display will change to display a random number alternating
with ‘UP’ and will finish by displaying ‘FP’ for ‘Finished Pair’. If the Sounder is enabled then
this is also accompanied by a short sequence of beeps. This operation could be almost
instantaneous or take up to 30 seconds.
The XMS unit will automatically acknowledge ‘Pairing’ to the XMSR.
On receiving the confirmation signal from the slave, the remote will display “Un-Pairing
Complete” indicating that un-pairing has been successful.
If the un-pairing session has not completed, or has been unsuccesful, the XMSR will time-
out after a period of approximately 15s and the message “Slave Not Found” will be displayed.
Repeat the pairing process again.
Channel Cycling
To access the channel cycling screen you must first turn ‘on’ the extended menu. Channel
cycling permits slave devices on different channels to be triggered in sequence. Starting
at Channel 1, each time a sync pulse is received from the camera, or ENT is pressed,
the remote advances the transmission channel. Once the remote reaches the channel
specified, the next sync pulse causes the channel to revert to channel 1. For example if
channel cycling is set to 4, the sequence of channels will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3 etc.
To set channel cycling press the key until the ‘Channel Cycling’ page is displayed
then use the keys to select the number of required channels to be cycled through.
Selecting 1 disables the function.
Extended Menu
The extended menu enables access to functions that are not used as often as some of the
main features. Functions that can be accesed once the Extended Menu is turned on include
‘Sync Input Offset’ and ‘Channel Cycling’.
Note: Functions within the extended menu will remain active if a value is set when
access to the extended menu is disabled. For ‘Sync Input Offset’ the value must be
set to ‘0’, and ‘Channel Cycling’ must be set to ‘1’ in order for the functions to be non-
operational.

To use of the Input Sync Offset function the camera / lens must be set to manual focus.
When ready to take a photograph first half press the camera’s trigger button to enable the
cameras pre-focus and to prepare the camera to trigger.
Then press the trigger switch / release to fire the XMSR which will then trigger the lighting
and the cameras motor-drive in sequence according to the values set.
