Insert charged AA batteries following the polarity markings, switch on the unit, and select the desired channel and group using the built-in display.

Recommendations

For reliable wireless performance, ensure both flash and transmitter operate on the same 2.4 GHz channel and keep firmware up to date if updates are available. Use high-quality AA batteries or a battery grip for extended shooting sessions and allow occasional cool-down periods during heavy use to maintain consistent output.
