With the exception of the ‘Function’ setting these settings effect only the operation of the 
remote and do not change settings on the slave device.

Transmit / Receive Mode

The mode setting determines how the remote will operate. When set to Tx the remote 
transmits settings/sync trigger commands to slave devices. In the Rx mode the remote acts 
as a slave device enabling it to be used to trigger flash devices, or act as a camera release. 
While in the Rx mode the ‘Slave Settings’ are not active.

In Rx mode the remote will not respond to commands until it has been paired with the 
remote controlling it. As with the pairing of other slave devices this is a once only process.

The mode of operation can be changed by pressing the             key until the ‘Mode’ page is 
displayed. The mode is then selected using the                      keys.

Note: the XMSR network permits the use of up to 8 master devices (remotes in Tx 
mode), however to avoid setting conflicts only one of these must have the ‘Remote’ 
function enabled (see below).

Function

This setting is only active when in Tx mode. The function mode allows you to select the 
amount of functionality the remote is to have. It may be set to ‘Remote & Trigger’ thereby 
enabling both adjustment of slave settings & sync triggering. ‘Remote Only’ disables sync 
triggering & ‘Trigger Only’ disables the adjustment of slave settings.

The function can be changed by pressing the             key until the ‘Function’ page is displayed. 
The mode is then selected using the                       keys.

feature. Currently not supported on the XMS.
