Canon FlexTT5 Camera Accessories User Manual


 
MiniTT1 Status LED FlexTT5 Status LED
Status LED
The Status LED indicates that the unit is powered on,
and displays battery level and other special status modes.
Under normal operation the LED will display a short blink
every 2 seconds. This is the normal “powered on and
waiting for trigger” blink. The color of the LED indicates
battery level:
Green Good battery
Amber Warning – battery low
Red Very low battery – change immediately
Triggering: a pulsing red LED in sync with TEST indicates normal transmission. If TEST is held for 10
seconds, LEARN mode will be activated – see LEARN mode for information. A short red blink in sync
with the camera’s trigger indicates normal transmission or reception.
Red blinking indicates an error condition. Power off the unit, reseat all connections, and power back
on. If the error persists, verify your settings. For example if you are using a Standard channel to trigger
a FlexTT5 with a Speedlite in it set to E-TTL, this is an error. The ash needs to be set to manual (See
Manual Mode for more information).
Learning LED sequence: Holding TEST for 10 seconds will cause the unit to pulse red (continuously
transmitting), then it will ash amber 4 times (indicating the beginning of Learn mode), then it will pulse
amber while listening for a channel to learn. If it learns a channel, it will blink green 1, 2, or 3 times
depending on the channel learned, then ash amber 1 more time to indicate LEARN is complete. If no
channels are learned, the radio returns to normal “waiting for trigger” blinking. See LEARN Mode for
more information.
A normal green blink occurs on power up initialization and after Set Both Configs has been pressed in
the PocketWizard Utility. If TEST is held on power up then RESET may occur causing 2 or 4 green blinks
to occur. See RESET for information. Steady green blinks during rmware updates are also normal.
