a Quick Guide for Nikon 340.00 – 354.00 MHz, US FCC/IC 433.42 – 434.42 MHz, CE MAKE IT POSSIBLE ™ IMPORTANT: US FCC/Canada frequency radios are NOT compatible with CE frequency radios or Japan frequency radios and vice versa. For more information on frequency, please go to: www.PocketWizard.com/wheretobuy/frequency Please read this Quick Guide thoroughly before operating. Visit www.PocketWizard.com/support to download extended documentation and the PocketWizard Utility. All information in this Quick Guide is subject to change. This PocketWizard radio runs on powerful software called ControlTL ® (Control The Light ™ ). It can be configured for your specific needs using the PocketWizard Utility which can be downloaded at: www.PocketWizard.com/support/downloads. Be sure ALL your PocketWizard ControlTL radios, including this one, are updated to the latest firmware for proper functionality. Power on any connected equipment from the top down: Flash, then radio, then camera. All equipment should be turned OFF when making connections or unwanted triggering may occur.

If operation is not optimal, check Speedlight batteries first. Review product manuals for your camera and flash system. For most basic functions when using Nikon’s system or PocketWizard radios, operation is identical. Yo u may use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in all scenarios. Make sure all PocketWizard radios are set to the same PocketWizard channel. PocketWizard channels are used instead of Nikon channels. See Learn Mode section.

All remote i-TTL Speedlights will be treated as one zone of light. 3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally. This mode is like using the SU-800 in TTL Commander mode, or the SB-800 or SB-900 as MASTER in Advanced Wireless Lighting TTL Mode with master flash cancelled and remote group A selected as TTL with 0.0 FEC. Basic Wireless i-TTL: MiniTT1 FlexTT5 Flash on Camera 1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera. 2. Slide Nikon Speedlight onto MiniTT1 radio. Set the Speedlight for standard i-TTL mode. 3. Slide Speedlight onto remote FlexTT5 Transceiver. Set the Speedlight for standard i-TTL mode (not REMOTE or MASTER). Repeat for each remote Speedlight.

Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally. IMPORTANT: Nikon Speedlights set to REMOTE = ON and connected to remote FlexTT5 radios will not function properly as remotes. Turn off REMOTE or MASTER for your remote Speedlights. Set desired Nikon remote group/zone via remote FlexTT5 zone switch. PocketWizard channel is used instead of Nikon channel. ISO, aperture, flash exposure compensation (FEC), and other settings will work with exposure normally via the PocketWizard ControlTL system.

If desired, slide Nikon i-TTL Speedlight onto MiniTT1 radio. 3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and take pictures normally. Note: Manual remote flashes are not calculated as part of the i-TTL exposure. Adjust your exposure or FEC to compensate accordingly. Use PocketWizard Utility to engage HyperSync ™ and explore faster than X-sync shutter speeds. Visit www.PocketWizard.com for more information.

FCC ID: KDS-PW3-008, IC: 2170A-PW3008 Tests Performed The test methods performed on the PocketWizard MiniTT1 Transceiver are shown below: FCC Part 15, Subpart C Industry Canada RSS-210 Issue 7, June 2007 Industry Canada RSS-GEN Issue 2, June 2007 Test Method 15.231(b) A1.1.2(1) N/A Field Strength of Emissions 15.231(b)(2) A1.1.2(2) 4.5 Duty Cycle Determination 15.231(b)(3) A1.1.2(3) N/A Field Strength of Spurious Emissions 15.231(c) A1.1.3 N/A Bandwidth of Emission N/A N/A 4.10 Receiver Spurious Emissions General Test Requirements 1. The measurement procedures of ANSI C63.4:2003 were utilized as specified in FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.31(a)(3) and IC RSS-GEN Section 4.1. 2. All radiated emissions measurements were performed on an Open Area Test Site (OATS), listed with the FCC and IC, in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(d) and IC Section 4.2. 3. The level of the fundamental field strength was recorded with a new battery installed in the EUT, in accordance with FCC Section 15.231(e) and IC Section 4.3(e). 4. All measurements were performed at the specified 3 meter test distance as required by FCC Section 15.31(f) and IC Section 7.25. 5. The EUT was rotated throughout 360 degrees for all radiated emissions measurements as specified in FCC Section 15.31(f)(5) and IC Section 4.3(h). 6. All readily accessible EUT controls were adjusted in such a manner as to maximize the level of emissions in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(g) and IC Section 4.3(h). 7. Appropriate accessories were attached to all EUT ports during the performance of radiated emissions measurements as required by FCC Section 15.31(i) and IC Section 4.3(d). 8. The EUT operated over the frequency range of 340 MHz to 354 MHz. A total range of 14 MHz. Testing was performed with the device operating at a. 3 frequencies, 1 at the top, 1 in the middle and 1 at the bottom of the range of operation in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(m) and IC Section 4.3(f)(g). 9. The frequency spectrum was investigated from the lowest frequency generated in the device up to the 10 th harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency in accordance with FCC Section 15.33(a)(1) and IC Section 4.9. 10. All measurements were taken with a peak detector function as specified in FCC Section 15.35(a) and IC Section 4.4. The duty cycle, calculated in accordance with FCC Section 15.35(c) and IC Section 4.5, was applied to the peak readings in order to obtain the average value of emissions. The peak value of emissions was verified to meet the 20 dB requirement of FCC Section 15.35(b) and IC Section 7.2.1. Page 3 of 45 Retlif Testing Laboratories, Test Report R-5329N-1, Rev.
