Notes - PocketWizard Plus II Manuel Du Propriétaire

noTes

Note 1 – The Plus II Transceiver shuts down after approximately 40 hours if it
receives no triggers, or if the combined battery voltage drops below 1.7 volts. This
protects against severe battery depletion which may lead to leakage. Power the unit
off and back on again, or replace the batteries, for normal use.
Note 2 – VELCRO
mounting the unit in a variety of places. Attach as desired being careful to not obscure
controls or function. Recommended mounting locations are the side of the unit or
the area below the 1/4-20 mount. The battery door is not a recommended mounting
location as damage to the battery door could occur when dismounting the unit.
Note 3 – If there is any cable connected to the FLASH Port on a Plus II, then the
CAMERA / FLASH Port is switched to input mode only. If you connect 1 flash to
each port of the Plus II, then only the flash connected to the FLASH port will trigger.
Attempting to connect 2 flashes to the FLASH port can be dangerous. Different
flashes can have very different sync voltages. Connecting them together could cause
damage to the flashes, and they may not trigger. 2 identical flashes with known
identical sync voltages may work when connected together, but operation is not
guaranteed to be risk free.
Note 4 – There is a 1/2000 second delay when triggering via PocketWizard radios.
This means your radio remote flashes will trigger 1/2000 second after your camera
connected flash triggers. For very fast moving objects this may result in image
streaking or 2 distinct flash moments on the same image (double exposures).
Note 5 – If you press and *hold* the TEST button on the unit in your hands, and you
are using a fast shutter speed like 1/200 or faster, then you may cause interference
for the remote flash unit. It may miss the flash sync pulse from the camera. Press and
immediately release the TEST button to help avoid this situation. If you are attempting
to perform a long exposure or a motor drive multi-frame burst, then you may need to
consider our MultiMAX product for enhanced relay functionality.
Note 6 – The hot shoe and the miniphone connectors of the PocketWizard Plus II are
ESD (electro-static discharge) sensitive. A static shock to one of those points may
cause the unit to unintentionally transmit a radio trigger.
