Light Bright Level - (L)
The electronics, computer processor, and radio unit designed into the PX units are so efficient, that they actually draw
less power from your battery than a single LED light. It turns out that the Power LED is the most significant draw of
battery power.
Battery life can be significantly extended if the LED’s are dimmed. Additionally, you may find yourself photographing
in very dark environments where bright indicator lights may be a distraction.
The indicator lights may therefore be adjusted to one of five values. Tap the “X” button to cycle through the levels. The
lights will instantly adjust to the new level.
Feedback Mode - (F)
Your PX units provide several different types of user “feedback” following each shot. Tap the “X” button to cycle modes.
F1 - The default. After each shot you will see the Link LED strobe momentarily. On the PX Transmitter this indicates a
signal was observed from your Master flash device and sent by radio. On the PX Receiver, this indicates the radio has
observed and decoded a radio transmission.
F2 - No feedback is provided. The PX unit will quickly cycle following a radio transmission and ready for another shot.
This makes possible using the high speed shutter built into many camera systems. The PX units will easily keep up if
you are shooting 8 frames per second or higher while in this mode.
F3 - Diagnostic Mode. This mode is intended for testing and verification of proper unit operation. In this mode, after
each shot, the PX Transmitter will display a number representing the number of individual data bits observed from
your Master flash device. About a half second following, all PX Receivers will display the number of data bits decoded
from the radio signal and blinked out the light source inside the PX Receiver.
For proper operation, the PX Receiver(s) should always display the same F Mode number displayed by the PX
Transmitter. On each given shot, if these numbers are equal, it is an assurance the the PX units are functioning
correctly and with zero data errors. If it is observed these numbers are equal and your flash devices are not functioning
correctly, please double check the settings in your camera flashes, insure the correct Hardware mode is set in your PX
units, and double check the installation of the PX units on your Master and Slave flash devices.
Note it is normal that the computed numbers differ slightly from shot to shot as your flashes don’t always send the
same number of blinks. It is only important for purpose of this mode that the numbers match between PX Transmitter
and PX Receiver(s) on each individual shot.
