Introduction
Thank you for choosing Vello.
Congratulations on the purchase of your Vello IR Re-
mote Mini. This pocket-size infrared remote control lets
you wirelessly take photos with your camera from up
to ten feet away. The Vello IR Remote Mini is especially
useful for preventing camera shake during long expo-
sures and for taking self-portraits. It can also be used to
trigger a remote camera.
You can use the IR Remote Mini as a key chain with the
included carabiner, or just throw it in your bag or your
pocket when you’re ready to gear up and go.
Precautions
Before using your Vello IR Remote Mini, please read
the following safety notices carefully and thoroughly to
ensure safe use, and to help prevent damage to your
remote control or injury to yourself or others.
• Remove the battery from this product before long-
term storage in order to prevent it from leaking
corrosive liquids.
• This product is not water resistant. Keep it away
from rain, snow, humidity, and general moisture.
• Do not clean this product with agents containing

thinner, benzene, or nail polish remover.
• Strong light and weak batteries may adversely affect
the transmission of the infrared signal.
• Dispose of used batteries properly. Never heat them

re, as this can cause the

explode.
Using Your IR Remote Mini
The Vello IR Remote Mini can trigger your camera’s
shutter from up to ten feet away. To use it as a remote
trigger, turn on your camera and follow these steps:
1. Set up your shot and make sure your camera is in
focus.
2. Set your camera for remote triggering. For more
information about the remote triggering feature,
consult your camera’s manual.
3. Aim the remote at the camera’s infrared sensor and
press the button to release the shutter.
Note:
Please see your camera’s user manual for com-
plete instructions and supported features.
Important!
Because infrared technology requires
line-of-sight communication between the two devices,
make sure there are no obstructions between the
remote and your camera’s sensor.
