User manual POCKETWIZARD MULTIMAX 7.5 ADDENDUM

[. . . ] It can also be used for remote flash triggering at shutter speeds up to 1/125th. This mode cannot be used with the Plus II, Sekonic meters, or flash packs with a PocketWizard radio built in. Engaging Long Range Mode will automatically adjust default contact time to 0. 12 seconds. NOTE: Long Range Mode is only for MultiMAX channels 17 through 32. Trigger confirmation is not available in Long Range Mode. Normal Range Mode B:NORMAL-TX/RX /MENU L A B Normal mode sets your MultiMAX to work at standard distances on regular channels. [. . . ] If you have a Custom ID, it will use the correct frequency for your Custom ID channel. Place the MultiMAX in a location you intend to use, or walk around with the MultiMAX to help pinpoint noise sources. Move the antenna closer to cable-runs and metal structures to see if they are sources of RF noise on your channel. These numbers are only for comparing one channel to another or for verifying RF noise as a possible factor on your channel or location of choice. There is no perfect number, so operation needs to be evaluated in context with these numbers. vi PocketWizard. com · FAST Noise ­ displays noise readings as fast as the MultiMAX can sample. If this number is consistently high, there is a strong interference source in the area. It samples so quickly, however, that brief transient noise is hard to note. · SLOW Noise ­ displays the highest noise sample out of the last 150. This will help you see live transient or very brief noise like another PocketWizard radio triggering. · PEAK Noise ­ displays the highest noise reading (FAST or SLOW) since you last cleared it or changed channels. This will help you see the highest noise moment, but it is not real time. It is good for catching the most transient of interference or as a reference when evaluating a better location. When all three numbers are roughly equal, this represents the base line RF noise for that channel in that location. If FAST is low compared to SLOW or PEAK then there may be transient RF noise in the area. Something is probably creating RF noise on the channel but it is only happening sporadically. If possible, use another channel or move away from the interference source. If the unit's LED blinks in any manner other than the normal "powered on" blink (once every two seconds), then the source of the noise is another PocketWizard on your frequency!A MultiMAX mounted near the ground (within a few feet) may display a low noise reading and still have poor performance. It absorbs the signal from your PocketWizards, so performance worsens in general. It also absorbs the ambient RF noise so the MultiMAX Noise Sniffer shows less noise present. In this situation a small amount of RF noise might have a much more extreme effect on reception reliability as one problem exacerbates the other. vii PocketWizard. com Radio Relay (Repeater) Mode (Receive Only) This mode lets you deploy another MultiMAX to increase your range. [. . . ] The older non-USB radios cannot get the new features, but will still perform their original functions normally when paired with USB-enabled radios. xi PocketWizard. com Special Note for CE MultiMAX Owners The owner's manual included with your purchase refers to the US (344-354 MHz) model of the MultiMAX.
