Problems with the FreeWave Viewer can 
usually be traced to the following most 
common causes. Perform the following 
steps to diagnose and correct the 
problem:
Make sure that your batteries are charged 
and inserted into your device correctly.
Check that the Sync and AV cables are in 
good condition and properly connected.
Make sure that the Receiver is powered 
on and at the correct setting. 

Make sure that the Receiver and 
Transmitter are on the same channel
When using the FreeWave Viewer’s 
shutter release function, your camera may 
not be able to release the shutter if the 
lens is set to Auto Focus and focus cannot 
be achieved on subject. Switch your 
camera to Manual Focus to ensure proper 
shutter release. 
If the receiver freezes up, turn it off and 
on again to restore normal function
If the camera is having difficulty focusing, 
try any of the following solutions:

a.  Select a single point of focus in the 

camera.

b.  Use the camera in Manual Focus, if 

applicable.

c.  Switch the Receiver unit to Continuous 

mode. Press the Shutter/Auto Focus 
button once to start the camera’s Auto 
Focus. This will continuously send a 
signal to the camera until the camera 
focuses and fires. Once the camera 
fires, press the Shutter/Auto Focus 
again to terminate the signal.
