OPERATION
Transmission and Reception Range, as well as receiving quality of a wireless transmitter and receiver system vary according to surrounding conditions. These functions should therefore be tested before taking the actual photography.
2. Use mounting screw (Fig. K) to firmly install the receiver to bracket mounting hole (Fig. N).
3. Use a connecting cord to connect receiver output jack to the remote control socket of the power winder.
4. Extend the receiver antenna fully.5. Set the receiver power switch to " ON "
6. Push the release button of the transmitter and ensure that the receiver check lamp (Fig. F) lights.
*If the check lamp does not light, check battery of transmitter and receiver. The check lamp does not light if either of the batteries is improperly installed or depleted.
7. Lock the shutter release button of power winder by sliding the release lock button (only for model PW-530).
*Do not lock the shutter release button of power winder model PW-540.
8. Set the C/S dial of power winder to the " S " (single frame exposure) or " C " (continuous) position.
9. By depressing the release button, you can control Chinon power winder remotely at a distance of approximately 40 meters (130ft).
REMOVAL OF WIRELESS CONTROL SET
1. Set the power switch of power winder to " OFF ".*If you disconnect the connecting cord without releasing the shutter release lock, the shutter may be released.2. Release the shutter release lock of power winder.
3. Set the power switch of receiver to " OFF''.
4. Disconnect the connecting cord from the receiver.
EMPLOYABLE RANGE
1. Noise or faulty operation can be experienced if wireless transmitter and receiver are operated at excessive distance from each other.NOTE:2. Transmitting range varies according to surrounding conditions. With new batteries in both wireless transmitter and receiver, and in absence of interference from buildings and other structures, the transmitting range is approximately 40 meters (130 ft.).
3. Sensitivity can be reduced due to signal reflections and scattering if used near metallic structures or within narrow ferro-concrete rooms. If this type of situation prevails, separate wireless transmitter and receiver from such structures by 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 ft).
4. Also, the wireless transmitter antenna must hang vertically and the receiver antenna fully extended. Bundling or shortening the antennas reduces transmitting range.
5. Transmission range decreases as batteries become depleted. Observe receiver check lamp procedures and replace batteries when required.
1. Avoid using in or near airport or aircraft.
3. Avoid using in locations subject to high temperature or Humidity.
4. Do not lift, handle or bundle wireless transmitter wire. Bundling or stretching may also damage the transmitter.
5. Increasing antenna length or modifying the transmitter structure may lead to damage and in addition violate government communications regulations.
6. After each shooting session, be sure to turn off camera main switch, power winder switch, transmitter switch and receiver switch.
