12. Place the white nylon bead at the end of the optic tube over the infrared sensor on your slave flash as indicated by
the graphics in
Fig 2-2
through
Fig 2-5
for your Slave flash model.
It is okay to bend the optic tube, but try to avoid a bend radius any tighter than the radius of a standard #2 pencil.
Even if a “kink” is formed in the outer tubing, the inner fibers are not easily damaged. The fibers are made of super
flexible plastic, not glass. The tube tends to hold its shape a bit.
NOTE: The large red transparent piece on the front of your flash is NOT the infrared sensor. In fact this area has noth-
ing to do with the wireless communication system - it is simply a focus assist light. The correct sensor is a shiny dark
black window on the outside of your slave flash unit.
13. Attach one of the supplied adhesive vinyl strips supplied for your flash unit over the optic and the sensor on your
slave flash unit. It is recommended to completely cover the optic and sensor to allow freedom of working outdoors
in direct sunlight as there’s no longer a concern of the sun “blinding” the sensor. This also results in the most secure
mounting of the optic.
An alternative version includes a small circular opening in the vinyl. Use this version if other photographers or
assistants will be attempting to trigger the slave flash unit with the traditional visible light systems. This alternate
attachment still secures the optic in place while allowing visibility of the sensor to other master flashes.
NOTE:
It is okay if the slave flash “sees” the visible signal from the master flash on your camera and the signal from the
RadioPopper system at the same time.
NOTE: The supplied adhesive vinyl strips make for a clean install, but you could always use any kind of tape for this
purpose should you run out of vinyl strips. Replacement strips may also be ordered at a very reasonable price from the
RadioPopper online store.
14. When mounting the P1 Receiver in the future by pressing the Velcro pads together - a much greater bond may be
achieved between the Velcro hook and latch sides by pressing firmly, then applying a slight rotational force between
the Slave flash unit and the P1 Receiver. This tends to “set” the Velcro pads together.
15. Take another deep breath. We’re almost there. I know the excitement is killing you. We’ve all been there. Please
take a few minutes and read the rest of the manual no matter how eager you may be to go play.
